Backtest previous proposal. That's why, waiting is painful and nothing can be done without confirmation.

I believe it's not the lines that are most important in Forex, but the diverse and random price fractals that occasionally repeat purely due to certain probabilities. Fractals can also fail to form the same patterns—also due to probability. See Erebus chart post #72,350, that fractals repeat on every time frame, except perhaps (rarely) on the Monthly. Pick a random chart from any currency and any timeframe, and you’ll find it has already appeared in a past fractal. This is exactly what Jim Simons kept exploiting over and over for past years.

Checking pa , hit extreme of the extreme high , may further up but may try to stop this bubble next.limit early top failure at around 3181 may hit/ break next days . So will watch for it next week if ! If so then weekly engulfing may confirm with 1 st confirmation 3957. Too early to anything though, and if to stop another chance may a weekly doji next week!

Weekly Initial Balance - who follows it? It's a breakout / trend strategy as far as I can see. {image} https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...3#post15151833 {image}
I follow this method and it is commonly referred to as Psychological Support and Resistance. Some traders also know it as the Weekly Initial Balance. However, unlike traditional definitions that track Monday to Tuesday price action, this method starts at a more precise moment: the first three hours of the Tokyo session at the start of the trading week. This early session range becomes a psychological benchmark and is respected by price action throughout the week. Price moving away from the ranges establish the market direction and acts as a magnet point.

Take a look at the attached chart you will notice how price consistently reacts to these defined zones. This method was originally introduced by Steve Mauro, known for his Beat the Market Maker methodology. It was later refined by another trader who developed a hybrid system and established the TradersReality community. His content dives deep into market psychology and structure, and can be used effectively in confluence with other trading tools. I’ve attached the indicator that plots these zones for Metatrader 4 users. This tool resets at the start of each trading week and stays on your chart for the rest of the week, offering a fresh psychological levels to work from.

Suddenly, everyone is stepping in, claiming they know the technique, providing names of individuals and associating them with various systems.

But if you truly understand it, here’s a genuine question: do you fully grasp the complete SOP behind Miss D’s analytical framework? Because if you do, then you’d know that a core component of her methodology involves analyzing the yearly IB (Initial Balance) price.

So let’s put that to the test, where exactly is the High of the IB for 2025? And more importantly, why has the market shown such a strong and precise reaction at that level?
This will separate those who truly understand the system from those who are simply repeating the terminology without any real depth

The Initial Balance is a widely used concept referring to the price range established during the opening period of a session commonly the first hour of the session the first 3 hours of the week and so forth. While its traditionally applied to daily sessions, traders extend it to weekly, monthly, or even yearly timeframes. Now your question for Gold IB High for 2025, if we consider the first few weeks of January to establish the Yearly IB or as i call it Psy Level high and Low, then the High is around $2,745, which was reached by Jan 21st, after an early year consolidation near $2,626.

That being said, lets bring the discussion back to center. Concepts like Weekly IB, Tokyo Range, and Psychological SR levels are not proprietary to any one trader and they have been explored and taught for years by known figures. Turning this into a gatekeeping quiz “Do you know the true system?” misses the point. The goal of this thread is to be open technical & fundamental exchange, not riddles to prove whos in the inner circle (cult mindset). If the Yearly IB is part of someones SOP, that is great and share it clearly. It's important to note that methodologies for determining the Initial Balance can vary among traders. Some may use the first few days or weeks of the year, while others might adhere strictly to the first trading session. Additionally, the concept of Initial Balance is more commonly applied to shorter timeframes, and its application to a yearly timeframe is less conventional. But lets not confuse universal tools with exclusivity. We dont need to mystify price action to protect personalities.

James Simons is a mathematician who hire other mathematician to exploit every possibility and use algorithm models to trade. that's really hard for retail traders to copy.
his Medallion Fund hold trades for minimum of 2-3 days, it mean they use swingtrading. that's also hard for most retail traders to copy since their Fear/Greed Factor always in high alert.

but to simplify James mindset, he use math and bigger waves for entry/exit. that can be done by all retail traders without the need of algorithm.

back to lines and price fractals, levels(lines) are not waves(price fractals), but they are very important to measure price moves.
"random lines" are the REAL problem, they are misleading most of the time and can cause fatal outcome for accounts.

there are many ways to measure waves by using lines(complex/simple)

complex: squaring price&time of a period to get precise major levels(lines) in %'s

now that you brought my name up,

With a name like Dizzy, I guess it’s fitting—spinning in circles, throwing shade, and still missing the point.

that was a lot of energy for someone who supposedly doesn’t care.

You do realize yelling “no one cares!” while writing a whole essay kinda defeats the point, right?

Thanks for the lecture on yearly levels though. Next time I need a Wikipedia summary with mood swings, I’ll know where to look.

As for trading, I’ll keep doing that. You can keep doing... this.

Also, just a tip—next time you want to sound insightful, try making a point without contradicting yourself in the same paragraph.

Reading your post felt like watching someone argue with their own shadow.
But hey, self-debate is still debate, right? Keep practicing.

The stupidity level is endless

It’s honestly flattering that you're just now catching on to concepts missD has been applying and refining for quite some time.

IB ranges, session structures, psychological levels — maybe these aren’t new, but how she integrate them into a complete system is where the distinction lies.

That’s the part you don’t seem to grasp.

You’re quoting surface-level mechanics like they’re revelations,
while she has been charting deeper application with real results.

You weren’t calling it IB or Psy Levels before, but now it’s all the rage. Wonder where that came from?

The only thing that got hijacked here is the narrative. So let’s not pretend you’re guarding intellectual property when it's just market literacy 101.

Don’t worry though — imitation is still the highest form of flattery.
