The Element of Time in Trading

AUDUSD

Many years ago there was a yahoo group called the time-price research project. Not sure it is still available, but if it is, a worthwhile endeavor to take a journey through.

A word of caution though, wear a hat to catch the pieces when you head explodes.

Nice thread, pike. These charts and posts from Darreeb are very interesting. I've always been fascinated with time and how it changes based on mass and speed. These are laws of physics but it wouldnt surprise me to see it also apply to trading.

I hope this thread doesnt evolve only into discussions about pitchforks. There are already good and detailed threads on that. In fact, any system using trendlines has an element of time built-in.

working my way through Jenkins,Gilmore and the yahoo groups

When i said i had a gap in my trading related to Time i think gap was the wrong word

If the market [any freely traded]vibrates or has a pulse,that pulse would change if it was excited or sleeping,

Thanks

Pike

I quite agree about the importance of timing in any trade. I have great regards for the opening of London and Newyork markets. Equally, Monday mornings especially few hours before London opens is very crucial time for me.

Cheers.

Nice thread pike.

To my knowledge books from Scott Carney, Carolyn Borden, Robert Miner, Larry Pesavento and Bryce Gilmore offered timing analysis/projections theories. There may be others and if I remember I will post again.

Also if you are interested in fibonacci Time & price projections check Suri's work.
surinotes.com

Here some of his charts which he updated realtime from july '09.

Jenkins has a free 1/8ths 1'TF calculator, and zznbrm some indicators.
This frames chart nicely to help apply Gann Fans, for instance.

Pike,

Speaking from personal experience, When you first start getting into Time/Price analysis, it's like and I quote, "taking a drink from a firehose".

There's many, many different ways to look at T/P, just like traditional methods. As you go thru the various disciplines, some will resonate personally more than others, focus on those as each are just a tool, and like a hammer, only as good as the one who swings it. So pick something you like.

Just as important is knowing why the tool theoretically works, it will help you determine in the beginning, the tools worth. You will only truly understand it after a few thousand charts, once you believe in it and your ability to interpret and put it to profitable use. What works for you might not necessarily mean the same for others and vice versa.

In the end it's all about you.

Regards and happy journey,

His book is one of my favs.
I found the simplest method is counting the bars and use it's proportion from swing high to swing low, high to high or low to low. It doesn't work all the time but give me an extra heads up. Good luck!

leap of faith,1 time unit=36 bars
1 bar =4 hrs
1 time unit=144 hours

I had posted this pic in another thread, but something to stir the gray matter when pondering time measures.

fwiw,
