another very basic pattern definition, this time using two abstract terms to describe unidentified patterns -- actually, the first is a Three Methods and the second is almost a cup and handle, but I'm ignoring this for the moment:

Actually again, both knowing the characteristics of a traditional pattern of the two noted, as well as the abstract terms' conclusion about their separate and combined character, leads me to believe that that little flat area near the end of the right-hand pattern projects price to drop, in synch with the continuation pattern Three Methods, and also rise, in synch with the almost-cup and handle on the right. Thus, the small flat area centralizes price, at least for the larger area studied here. I'll probably trade price up then down, around that flat area for about the number of pips' range shown on the chart.


The results --
The continuation was more powerful, I guess since the cup and handle was incomplete. The upper was, next and in the longer term, all-powerful.
I did get trades off it, only the up had an awful in-trade drawdown and the down was only TO the hz.

gann fan -- a flagrantly obsequious use, only for experienced users:

-----

trading only --
A problem I developed recently is that of trading very long term trades, to the exclusion of most opportunities both shorter and with more pips.
Either I'm trying to increase my tolerance for +100-pip trades or for a more robust SL, I don't know.
I really need to work on getting every opportunity I can, at least in simulator. Perhaps I can start introducing basic restrictions broke rs have for retail traders.

Well, the one I was working on was that, as I read it on ff, broke rs favor traders who want 100+ pips a trade without a set SL.
To start:
What it does, is favor the leveragable important or or copyable perfect into lots of time thereafter. I'm apparently at that stage of recognition.
-- Well, what do you say when a perfectly good pattern is completely ignored? You carry it over, of course, to another day. And it's immensely gratifying to do so, giving a stamp of approving on my work. Continuity of logic, if you will (had an extra-long set of posts recently that involved a long, many-branched train of logic.)
-- So in other words, I turned the 100+ pips post I believed somewhat in, into a workable overall trading system ; ) for all TIME (No.....
MY method for all/variable time, perhaps. THAT's continuity -- May belong in my TF thread, instead.
At the least, I feel whole with it, as if a zillion needs for psych/mm inclusion fell away from, and/or were usurped with, like kind.


And this is the chart trade(s) that made my day thusly:


(included: where the special trendline was not crossed. This area could be mined for hyper-balance patterns, such as levels price retraces around, or momentum with features that fail price's direction.)






With regular use of this concept in trading, I increase my ability to trade a consistently tensegral study of the chart.

The downside, at first, is that I get the lowest $/hr ever (0.005%?/hr). I'll increase it to usual sans margin calls....

pattern ranking -- 0-45-90, which is larger and more pure, over a balance (hi-lo pivots of an r/s)-and-"kite" (which has some hi-lo - like candles in it, also) - type (semi-)perfect, the latter of which merely served for a bit of color along the former's price structure:




Then by my theory, price should go to the kite line, having obeyed the perfect so far:



No, the 0-45-90's beginning price range, which coincides with the existence of the perfect, counted on the return. The 0-45-90 also clearly won over the perfect upon the rebound to the continuation of the last portion of the 0-45-90.

So, a mixture in structure and why perfects mean little in the long run (no HG, then).
Here's the continuation of price-time line: All 0-45-90.

another (one phrase added) --

LOWER PORTION OF PICTURE:
for first trade: a Gann Fan, this one continuing at the top;
note pressure around the first down line after the Gann Fan's middle gap, right before price jumps 50+ pips (1'TF). Exited atop that one candle.



I think what would have saved me is recognizing and using the emphasis on the dashed line price has, which apparently enabled a return to that trendline.

The only chance I'd have with my first trade'd be the high-level balance pattern (exactly on the green line, my TP) and, right before it, the low-level balance pattern. Only, that's an awfully strong push off the first down line after the Gann Fan's middle gap, with its support around the down line even stronger.

UPPER PORTION OF PICTURE:
Shown is the only jump up (arrow) that approaches the down line's patterns' horizontal line (extended into the past). That's another really strong reason to trade with the pattern set.
If the horizontal is so good, and it's stronger than the up move of the 50+ pips, I may have a long shot with my trade...
Nah....
Well...
yes, I held the second trade for almost six hours and it worked! That extreme jump of a last candle finished the up Gann Fan it was in and started a new, albeit short-lived, down-Gann Fan. Price then went up half as much as the 50+ - pip candle to eventually form a strong resistance, after which price fell to fulfill my TP at the noted (first) Gann Fan's first down line after the middle gap, the horizontal line from the patterns there.

-- With this much common sense, I increase my possibility of trading well. Maybe.

The next trade was not effectively rational -- that is, it failed to match my goal of an overall profit, since it margin-called.
At first, it was; then, I let slip my reason; then, I neutralized the effectiveness of reason in my mind and watched as reasons floated past all the same; and, finally, I forgot the strength of reason and ignored an exactly-shaped descending triangle, which fulfilled and reversed, crumble within the triangle to then drop beyond margin call.



-- So, over lots of posts since I last wrote similarly,
that's how one can be rationale in one sense and a total failure in another, infinitely more important sense.
I got a lot of work done, progressing my technical chart study skills. I guess that's something.

Price did finally return, in a relatively non-margin-call way from my order to go there, to the high-level balance pattern (exactly on the green line, my first trade's TP) and, just before it, the low-level balance pattern; and, it did it the (to me, within my method's (current) thinking) "right" way, since the original area projected a horizontal line.
My initial deposit returned with a couple of high-leverage trades. Need to think like that all of the time ; ) Can't handle much under -10% any more, and with the extra pressure of so much common sense that it also posted and is based on what is to me a new concept (any-#-of-pips-over-any-amount-of-time possible, based on the 1'TF,) I went on and broke the account to a little (1%) over the initial deposit.

Two l.p.5's in almost as many days, might as well share them:

(an l.p.5 (a definition), in short, is a rectangle on one side and a triangle (mostly a near-equilateral one; also may be a logr (momentum shaped in a certain way, only small like a triangle)), with a usually horizontal (have seen a slightly stair-stepped one, before) line between them. After some repetitions of rectangles on the one side and/or triangles on the other, while staying on or near-horizontal, there's a huge, fast, often one-candle run or drop, then, well over half the time, a strong reversal to the other (drop or run, respectively) side of the horizontal(ish) line. When they work, they're fun to watch.)

ex. 1 (w/o detail):




ex. 2:

l.p.5, a third example. This one started with a big triangle and a much, much bigger frame. Problem was, they were both on the same side of the (imagined) horizontal line. Later, A good triangle appeared, and any frames (or any polygon, really) almost totally faded on the side with the frames. Eventually, the pattern acted like any other -- This time, it got me (my trade, that is).
Also, began and ended on big shapes....

Breakthrough!

Okay, the explanation is a bit obscure. I'm sure I can explain clearly, eventually.

I've been wanting to know how I intuitively traded without any lines or such, that is, between lots of margin calls, up to a few months ago (when, I guess, I started really getting into organizing all shapes).
So, today, I really played with my list. I was at work and identified all sorts of objects -- how they fit together, why weather markings happened to stuff outside, why design stuff or dirt or cars moved -- sort of like a person well-versed in geometry might look at the world on occasion. (The inspiration was from Phi2342Matrix included with my list.)
Later in the day, I had to deal with different, less free circumstances; and, I applied other people to that spaceship/helmet picture of a while ago (which is a thinking model) that I use a lot; eventually, though, I tried and worked in the post#1 list, also. So I connected with 0-45-90, which I had understood earlier in the day to be a person trying to stay in balance, since people are more up-and-down, that is, 0-90, than side-to-side. What I'm trying to say is, I connected lmc with 0-45-90, or rather made an interim stage to do so.
And now, I feel comfortable making sweeping judgements about the chart, so that I can sit at my simulator, which is going at top speed, and draw pictures in my mind, AND feel comfortable about drawing the shapes from that mental image onto the chart -- and then, build more upon the picture.

So I guess typing the junk above will mean more than pictures can show. (A cliche joke.)

Did make an initial drawup for the first trade.



Here's what I wrote about, in the last sentence or so above.



(yeah, of course, I glanced here -- I think.)



Never did look at this area.




The second-to-last chart has a double-condensed, almost like an l.p.5 only different polygons and angles-getting setup. I shorted after that chart and got an 83-pip drawdown; with this luck, I felt good about it going to the other side and hitting my TP, which was MORE than 83 pips -- and it did.
It's not that I won't lose big later, it's a strong possibility. It's that I'm expanding my horizons again, being able to trade for 75-100 pips at a time more regularly.

Here's an odd duck:
An l.p. 5 based on a vertical line. (Ignore the off-angled TL there.)

Yes, that's a margin call : ( -- or might as well be one, since I misinterpreted the chart so badly.





Here's another odd duck:
An l.p.5 that makes a couple of TL's.

I've been using lmc, or logr-midline-curve, for a while now.
Then, I've got this new list, and it breaks up lmc unevenly.
So I'm figuring, maybe there's something more elemental,
something I could break down every likely pattern into.
It took me a while, and I arrived at dot, line segment, curve.

Only, I've done almost no work with curve.



-- No, there aren't only l.p.5's ; )


I do find it interesting that the last chart has a possible vertical l.p.5 in it....
No (or rather yes, since it moved so much), there's a plus-type balance pattern in the middle of it, and it pivoted against my trade.




addition to my first post:



To warm up, I look for a dot, a line segment, and a curve in each of several tiny patterns in a smashed-together 1'TF candle chart. A dot could be a pivot, for instance; a line segment, a straight portion as a trend; and, a curve, evidence of momentum nearby.
Smaller than this, a candle, horizontal to the candle, and angles from that candle; only then, I might as well do more traditional candlework.
The biggest levels involve a select use of the shapes below,
and my average work fits together several shapes in different chart areas.

That last l.p.5? It had condenses (besides a balance pattern (plus) in the trend's center) in the last chart's last solid uptrend-- and was 2 3/4 years away from this very similar l.p.5 with condenses to help with direction.




--- of the shapes in post#1's big list:

I seem to be using condenses esp. stacks/threads/progressions, lp5's, pluses/balance patterns, fighter jet.
I miss doing 0-45-90's, the one "crumbling-flat-sharp levels" I found, or castles of sand (yeah, I just made that up -- tiny lines built upon overlapping midlines in a small container-like space) with some string in it tied to project it into the future, or midline-only TL's; and, the simple dot - line segment - curve, since it highlights curve use, or Gann Fans.
The great midline stretches begin to remind me of stretched-out condenses, except for the extreme sensitivity of the latter.

Here's an organization of them:

Thanks in part to the rare insight on why emotion is so important that some posters (that I responded to) gave, I was able to get past my difficulties in applying the market emotion cycle.

Here's a second triangle from a similar perspective:

on psych:
Okay, the last version of market emotion cycle failed.
Maybe it was too messy, didn't cover enough information well, or didn't adapt when I changed my technicals organization.
So either I simply rewrite it to fit the new tech list, or start deriving micro-models from my own thinking model at a much more rapid pace. Somehow, I have to get and keep my trades above the fray of margin-call-dom.

On the latter --
For some reason, not random but advancing-toward that need, I saw a thread just now post a prediction I didn't like. So, compete is now the word. I'm not going to say Who I'm competing against, as it's an exercise. My thinking model was derived from very heavy coping techniques while going through sociopsychological difficulties for lots of years, and one of the first things to think about after seeing it is competition. No, it's all those trading systems in TD. Well, whatever.

Anyhow, EURUSD to 1.34717. Time is 0507 est, 09352011. SL 90.

flow of patterns

Mostly through accident or incident, I chose a financial instrument that makes a very high number of tradable patterns easily, namely the one-minute timeframe of the gbp/usd currency symbol. This has happened to me before, in other hobbies of mine.

I believe, as with them, my work may be of minor use in other fields (statistics, math) than trading that work with random behavior in two-variable cycles or that calculate two-dimensional patterns.

Mainly though, in a chart study for trading, intuitive and trade-effective understanding of how any pattern may form on pairs charts is a more important consideration and my implied process to make a living alongside the emotion,discipline, etc., necessary to carry through such a trade plan.

To conclude, continuously describing every definable pattern I can that produces a useful projection and thus possible profit, is more a futile exercise in eliminating risk from randomness. The process of discovery allows only a small percentage of new patterns to be realized before seeing all relevant chart information.

Going onward, my work at ff can help one get into the flow of how a chart of any type makes patterns, when then going to a tradable method that limits the number of patterns to what is likely not found in my work, a tradably-described set; even so, minimal to lots of work may create such a thing from patterns I describe.

current patterns organization

Configure: pivot (one-pivot consistency in a pattern surrounding its center dot of a pivot (plus-sign, tilde, and similar patterns, any regular polygon (line (midline or endpoints), triangle, rectangle, ellipse/curve (the center or edges of each) or other pattern or area (with such);
multiple-pivot (that is, line) directional consistency in area's opposed (or one-sided) patterns of higher highs and(/or) lower lows (for an s/r line), in the amount of space for resistance touches being the same as for support ones on an s&r line,
in aligning trendlines, in center of midlines and/or anchor of momentum for pattern-center TL's, etc.),
line (single alignment, see pivot; multiples alignment in parallel (0'45'90-twisted channel-flight-o-bird-hd&shldrs-cp&hndl-fighter jet-3M-harmonic-grid stack w/off-angle bit) or in serial (trendline-length-change) a) patterns),

two posts in other threads that I decided not to post,
and which, in putting their contents here instead, help explain where I am right now --



(#1)


Our trading methods are so different -- I'm on demo, so that's too different; otherwise, it's fundamentals for a reason with lots of risk and money management on your side, and almost zero risk or money management and a technicals on my side -- that I find it entertaining to paper trade exactly against your positions.
This time, it was a short for 25 pips, SL 90. I've no proof I did, only the trade's chart-study reason.

If this idea bothers you, I'll stop this type of post and even erase this post; if you like the idea, I can post my trade here or on my journal and its reason before I take it and also take the demo trade on Trade Explorer (set to public).
Why do it at all: There's very little overt trading competition on ff, and I need something to inspire me to get past all those margin calls I usually get in trading simulator and b/e in demo. And if I do get a margin call here, that's motivation enough for me to stop posting here (or anywhere so directly, for a while) about my trades.

So or anyhow, good luck.



(#2)

Hi,
I'm a pure chartist on the 1' time frame; I'm usually GBP/USD, but this is the faster thread, so EUR/USD it is. I've been on demo (simulator, actually) since a month or so before joining ff and I'm in a trading rut: I keep getting margin calls (or 90-pip SL's (at about 35:1 leverage)). I'm hoping a comparison of trades with others' will help break the habit; and, I gained more confidence since I worked my TP's number of pips up to about 100 and under (which seems to get past most broke r problems) and then, today and from a couple of posts I read recently and responded to, the final step (I think) to putting the trades to be more important than the theory (chart study) supporting each trade.
Also, I'll only post once for each trade, before I put in the trade with a demo Trade Explorer
So, first trade:



-- Both egotistical / overdone.
I was thinking of posting on one of the busiest trading-only threads, letting them know every time that I'm on "demo -- ff's Trading Explorer" in the post's title. The rest of the post would have only the chart (which is all I trade with, if sometimes not fully described (I'll try)) reason and the basic trade #s. As noted above, I'd post pre-trade with chart study and basic #s. Then, if I posted another trade (not sure if'll go cross-thread; yeah, only'd need to reference), I'd also post the results of the first trade.
I don't think I'd do the intra-trade posting, as lots of people do; I've no real $ on it, so no trading nerves are involved, only charting capability.




----------


another (partial):


(I'd thought of, and so include, ways to look at each title -- configure, rate, stagger -- to explain each of their entire definitions.)

current patterns organization

Configure: pivot (overall (complicatedly written, overly simple in meaning, and optional to use) -- (up (line holds)) hyper / (down (line fails)) hypo - support (down; is the literal 'up' or 'down') or resistance (up))
(one-pivot consistency in a pattern surrounding its center dot of a pivot (plus-sign, tilde, and similar patterns, any regular polygon (line (midline or endpoints), triangle, rectangle, ellipse/curve (the center or edges of each) or other pattern or area (with such);
multiple-pivot (that is, line) directional consistency in area's opposed (or one-sided) patterns of higher highs and(/or) lower lows (for an s/r line), in the amount of space for resistance touches being the same as for support ones on an s&r line,
in aligning trendlines, in center of midlines and/or anchor of momentum for pattern-center TL's, etc.),
line (single alignment, see pivot; multiples alignment in parallel (0'45'90-twisted channel-flight-o-bird-hd&shldrs-cp&hndl-fighter jet-3M-harmonic-grid stack w/off-angle bit) or in serial (trendline-length-change) patterns),
ellipse/curve, triangle and/or rectangle (one's repetitions' or, maybe with pivots and/or lines, repeated combinations' directional consistency
in (TINY-PORTION-TO-CHANGE) stack/compromise/thread/progression/center-shift/l.p.5/perfect or (PATTERNS-MARKED CHANGE) crumbling-flat-sharp levels)

and rate: random->series/string of barely-defined (i.e., more random) shapes
to average of all
to perfect->one completely-defined (i.e., not random) pattern.
Other ways to consider it is that a perfect shape is only one of similar shapes that repeat its form before and after it and in various sizes; one can draw effective TL's (,etc.) from that perfect, or string the series of more-random shapes before and after it together and do the same thing.
Find an abstraction of a shape such as a regular polygon (triangle, etc.), and it holds well alone also as a "perfect", though, in this case, a string of defining evidence such as for TL's (shapes that are momentum, midlines and thus consistent with each TL), which a triangle or similar is made of, increases the pattern's usefulness.
More often, condenses/blobs/imperfections-around-otherwise-definable-patterns are common in series. Condenses can take on a center pivot, and blobs that and a midline (and thus pivot mid-,hi-,low-).
rate: angle,size,count,deviation from norm, distance between space dividers

--> Stagger: Though it depends on the area, rice (vertical) likely more different of a set of rated and configured patterns to use, than time (horizontal), which only modifies what patterns are already there, which is the natural thing to look for first. So, a pattern to consider is how different areas connect, the connection being the pattern.
Stagger: U/D-H/L-big/small: levels and/or order of interaction with other next-direction-relevant patterns/areas.














----------



practice:

So many highs and lows in trading, it's easy to get drunk (emotionally) and laugh at doubling my $ in eight trades over 1 1/2 days on early-2009 simulator. And that's only 3 1/2% an hour, fairly lousy.
Watch out, here comes the margin call! (....okay, already, where is it!?)

No, made more. No fun, though, got over the thrill already -- A good thing, likely.


cup and handle


(either that, or it's lopsided cow teats (oops, there I go again))




Ah, there we go -- Margin called on the very next trade. (All depressed and realistic, now.)


-----

Margin-called the last of these trades, also: No study, except for a poor one that I could've dealt with if watching it. I thought price'd return to the center pivot's horizontal line; price only went halfway between there and the unexplained horizontal line above it.
Interesting note: Price rose 160 pips above the price of the center pivot of the complex pattern with a center pivot.

in aligning trendlines, in center of midlines and/or anchor of momentum for pattern-center TL's, and in several s/r lines, with each of their shapes' pivots relative to one another, being gone through with momentum),
line (single alignment, see pivot; multiples alignment in parallel (0'45'90-twisted channel-flight-o-bird-hd&shldrs-cp&hndl-fighter jet-3M-harmonic-grid w/off-angle bit) or in serial (trendline-length-change ; a stack with rocker lines (base to high(/low) : hz line segment, divergence slanted down, upward line, )) patterns),

and rate: random->series/string of barely-defined (i.e., more random) shapes
to average of both
to perfect->one completely-defined (i.e., not random) pattern.
Other ways to consider it is that a perfect shape is only one of similar shapes that repeat its form before and after it and in various sizes; one can draw effective TL's (,etc.) from that perfect, or string the series of more-random shapes before and after it together and do the same thing.
Find an abstraction of a shape such as a regular polygon (triangle, etc.), and it holds well alone also as a "perfect", though, in this case, a string of defining evidence such as for TL's (shapes that are momentum, midlines and thus consistent with each TL), which a triangle or similar is made of, increases the pattern's reliability.
More often, condenses/blobs/imperfections-around-otherwise-definable-patterns are common in series. Condenses can take on a center pivot, and blobs that and a midline (and thus pivot mid-,hi-,low-).
rate: angle,size,count,deviation from norm, distance between space dividers

--> Stagger: First, time (horizontal) to study, and finally, price (vertical) a different area. Last: Connection between areas a pattern.
The key is that for every chart study, there is an opposing direction's chart study, and often tacked onto the end of the first one.

The last post's last chart --
It goes with another chart, the series of TL segments below.

a stack with line segments opposing (base to high(/low) : hz line segment, divergence slanted down, upward line, ) or progressing (ex.: toward the vertical, then midline compromise) patterns),

my first curve pattern:

roll

what it does -- within this small, condense-like pattern, price tries to continue in one direction, then goes to neutral and turns to the other direction. May be considered divergent, in instances, and part of an exhaustion for the 'other' direction, in other instances (such as the one below).




So I'm wondering aloud,
how does a non-condense act vs. a roll?
-- First, a condense is adaptable, shaping to its environs. A small-candle look-alike looks to be more static, at least in the chart (if I've provided it yet) below.


So,
I used the 10-step as a chart study / trade-position decider, and found that at step eight (after 3/4 hour of studying, where I usually spend under a minute -- on purpose (hey, training, it's allowed; and, I'm ready to include what does work)) -- I want to buffer my trade into an extra , CONTRARY trade.
error: Missed extra up/down from price travelling after my trade entry. -- Yeah, about to say 'optional', only why take time for something different?

recency / familiarity bias -- I think the price'll go around the candles already there, in some way.

Seem to have gotten past the "details" attitude I was in, and reached -- perhaps thru longevity and thus a change in cycle -- the way I should trade. It's a fairly good

I should entitle this post, ten approach -- frontload all chart studies! I feel surprise, now, doing a dozen chart studies before my first trade, losing that first trade to a SL (used to be, 'margin call' -- now, as noted earlier in a similar way, 90 high-vol -- in an entire-year, not sessional but maybe occasional holiday or news -- and 45 regular. (I like to think of my exit (da pips!) first.)

flow of patterns

Mostly through accident or incident, I chose a financial instrument that makes a very high number of tradable patterns easily, namely the one-minute timeframe of the gbp/usd currency symbol. This has happened to me before, in other hobbies of mine.

I believe, as with them, my work may be of minor use in other fields (statistics, math) than trading that work with random behavior in two-variable cycles or that calculate two-dimensional patterns.

Mainly though, in a chart study for trading, intuitive and trade-effective understanding of how any pattern may form on pairs charts is a more important consideration and my implied process to make a living alongside the emotion,discipline, etc., necessary to carry through such a trade plan.

To conclude, continuously describing every definable pattern I can that produces a useful projection and thus possible profit, is more a futile exercise in eliminating risk from randomness. The process of discovery allows only a small percentage of new patterns to be realized before seeing all relevant chart information.

Going onward, my work at ff can help one get into the flow of how a chart of any type makes patterns, when then going to a tradable method that limits the number of patterns to what is likely not found in my work, a tradably-described set; even so, minimal to lots of work may create such a thing from patterns I describe.


an additional consideration

Only when you live with a passion, can you appreciate how to trade -- That's the message I realize about some of the highest-vouched ff members who apparently make $ trading.
Heartmath -- Only emotions can time one's life to values that count. Issues get in the way, and destroy relationships in favor of errant ambitions. This is, in part, why I think that the heart is a good, neutral timing device that can be applied, through the emotions (market emotion cycle, and/or other).
Perhaps how the heart thinks -- through favorite and practiced personal habits. (Rough source: Heart transplant patients each recall memories of the heart's former owner.)
So when one's reactions -- as the following cycle with ten steps promotes -- are acted upon with passion and forthrightness, as lots of such noted personal habits are, then consistency in trading seems far more likely.

entering you, the trader (persuasion, insula, morning, introduction cycle) -- Run thru 1-10, doing lots of trade proofs for one's chart study:
1. name position 2. reject position for another 3. release other thoughts 4. doubt other positions 5. helpless, challenge why, other positions may take and their thoughts 6. stimulus training through namer increasing range and impact of cyclic projection 7. stimulus introduction 8. review -- stimulus cue from position namer 9. rejector breaks down, copies in single, tiny and original way the position 10. reintroduction: up-to-speed match of position-named with others

The drive to practice trading simulator brought me to make lots of attempts to organize and use as many traditional and reasonably-described patterns (current list here: posts 456 to 473, if can look through and drop my old ways to group patterns) as can, such groupings of all patterns informing discovery and description of new and similar patterns along the way.

Last: During and between practice, I went over lots of psychology sources and drew up and tested homemade methods that processed trade errors, to get this thought process --
I front-run a trade with layers of studies during this thought process:
1. name position 2. reject position for another 3. release other thoughts 4. doubt other positions 5. helpless, challenge why, other positions may take and their thoughts 6. stimulus training through namer increasing range and impact of cyclic projection 7. stimulus introduction 8. review -- stimulus cue from position namer 9. rejector breaks down, copies in single, tiny and original way the position 10. reintroduction: up-to-speed match of position-named with others

To review,
the things in this trading approach are --

1. how I got to and think of trading
2. the ground work -- thousands of hours of trading simulator practice
3. patterns I found and described along the way in readings and practice
4. one intuitively correct grouping of all patterns I found
5. a thought process to get pattern flow to work for trading

a work in progress:
patterns I gathered recently (and old and others' patterns I forgot or neglected) (for post 1 to refer to)--

level.......balance point (horizontal, vertical, both), viral-dot symtri's and islands, hilo-pivot-test-for-r/s-like-a-flip; level: line segment, row; support-resistance lines, trendline, double or opposing polygons, regular or rising-level Adam and Eve

Two l.p.5's in almost as many days, might as well share them:

(an l.p.5 (a definition), in short, is a rectangle on one side and a triangle (mostly a near-equilateral one; also may be a logr (momentum shaped in a certain way, only small like a triangle)), with a usually horizontal (have seen a slightly stair-stepped one, before) line between them. After some repetitions of rectangles on the one side and/or triangles on the other, while staying on or near-horizontal, there's a huge, fast, often one-candle run or drop, then, well over half the time, a strong reversal to the other (drop or run, respectively) side of the horizontal(ish) line. When they work, they're fun to watch.)


->ID,journal shape type(none; line purposes, copies, multi-tiny-line-segment purposes; one; polygon etc., multi-simple-trend; lots) each chart area, then work their positions for a decent trade:

A Review the chart's areas intuitively, noting possible anchors for various types of drawing devices to make one or more patterns (current list in a latest journal post).
B Use a categorization of the patterns to boil down the chart into a more systematic way to choose a pattern to use.

C If, at any time, a pattern or area gives difficulties, then define each selected micropattern/wave in an area with dot (pivot), line segment(s) and curve, and draw atop this only if helpful. Concentration usually levels with this even, simplified understanding of a series of changing shapes and, with at least some of the pivots' surrounding shapes explained, provides a bit of relief.
D Another way is to overdo it: Front-run a trade with a differing number of layers of studies (that is, one of the patterns in post#476's list,or similar, that is included with any minor other notes on a chart's area) during this entire thought process. One's brain keeps having to change itself, eventually getting the idea of an entire area for several trades in advance, at the same time as getting oneself agile enough to drop a trade speedily if it fails.

Found a nice, simple pattern --
a series with no down that goes up and then all and way down. I looked at how much down or up for a little while a few months ago; I forget what I was studying at the time. (Yeah, it was a margin call. I called the up, but ignored thereafter.)

Another one, this one another series. Only this time, I didn't see the series (drew it in way after the trade), and instead noticed the overall angles going toward the horizontal. I figured a dip'd do it, to confirm the run up. Nope.




This should bother me, because I seem to got it going on with the chart studies, and yet I'm still getting margin calls.
Either refinement or post dump is next.

I've been working in my nontrading time with the 1.-10. cycle, using different wordings with the same basic idea. It's the only trading-only idea there. I'd like to be able to use only a few of the #'s, implying the rest.

so,




Trade via the 1.-10. cycle:
1. name position 2. reject position for another 3. release other thoughts 4. doubt other positions 5. helpless, challenge why, other positions may take and their thoughts 6. stimulus training through namer increasing range and impact of cyclic projection 7. stimulus introduction 8. review -- stimulus cue from position namer 9. rejector breaks down, copies in single, tiny and original way the position 10. reintroduction: up-to-speed match of position-named with others
optional:
Intuitively pick patterns, after a short area study. -- Area myopia can set in.
Define each selected micropattern/wave in an area with dot (pivot), line segment(s) and curve. -- Good start, at least.
Group patterns -- Easy to ignore/underuse.

L or R vectors, on the horizontal and with one dominant, for each of high, middle, low areas; and, dot within an angled balance of an area or angled line that balances an area, for each of the top of the high, center of the middle, and bottom of the low area.
change from one state to another, from one selection in the following version of the market emotion cycle --
(Physical 'state', this one emotional; thus, two different 'low's.)
Attachment
series example of changing state several times--
1. name position 2. reject position for another : 1price,diff't rsn:"same-as", etc.
3. release other thoughts 4. doubt other positions
5. helpless, challenge why, other positions may take and their thoughts; also, where object appears (later, obj't as stim, after namer's first projecting wave(s) in next step); also, spconcatenate studies for 2+ trades 6. stimulus training through namer increasing range and impact of cyclic projection
7. stimulus introduction 8. review -- stimulus cue from position namer
9. rejector breaks down, copies in single, tiny and original way the position 10. reintroduction: up-to-speed match of position-named with others



--- The entire thing may be replaced with dominance, play, sense and/or process, some geometric thingy(ies) adjusting until energy centers for acceptance and transmits concept to body for application.






another:





reason
measure geometry (dot,line,curve, ellipse,triangle,rectangle, 50%,momo%), opp-copy (perfect/parallel <-> random/serial), balance (iAff (LR,@HML; pt angle,@top cntr bottom) <-> gut trace)).
and focus
general: dopamine/dominance (specific: adrenaline (strength (to carry through)));
general: serotonin/play (specific, as an antonym: cortisone/pain);
general: GABA/grouped-sense (specific: glutamine (strength (to carry through)));
general: acetycholine/path&interruptions (specific: I don't even have a decent guess, but I'd first say various possible alternate neurotransmitters that are also popular drugs -- endorphins (morphine), muscarinics (I forget), nicotinics (cigarettes), endocannabis (you know...) (addiction))
AND/OR emotion
state L or R vectors, on the horizontal and with one dominant, for each of high, middle, low areas; and, dot within an angled balance of an area or angled line that balances an area, for each of the top of the high, center of the middle, and bottom of the low area.

more charts --

(I needed to know why price stopped on me, when I thought that, maybe, 50% moves around the horizontal line segment would still keep happening.
My best guess was the congregation of the three dashed lines crossing at the top. This idea is new to me, and if I can find some more examples, then I can depend on it as a new (to me) pattern.)





The first chart fairly much explains the why of this idea.


The second chart confirms what the first chart says.


the third chart is just extra, in case want to justify the other lines not involved in this discussion. They're an l.p.3 that is changed from using a common screen that the TL's can cross over at, to using each other to align with.

a converging top, perhaps... where several TL's from separate areas converge/cross at one blob of a shape that is a top for a big run.

I visited Kambooj's thread again. This time, K had one excellent circle that I had to play around with: It had several pivots attached to it, which makes it like a traditional definition of a trendline (instead of midlines also, as I do); and, I saw a similarly-defined circle that wasn't exactly drawn, in the upmost portion of the that chart.
This experience helped me find circles that I feel comfortable using, on my own 1'TF charts.
That reminds me of the following charts. (Never mind the trade, which had a completely different (a Gann Fan, unshown/explained) reason; and, it turned out that, concerning the circles, I was after the last support pivot in the last chart.) --










I then wandered around from one chartist's posts to another's, and ran into icce rectangles. Those rectangles seem to be balance areas; they don't specify if the vertical angle changes from left to right, if it is an s/r then or later, etc.
I'm not even sure how the rectangles are chosen, although having a software program (.ex4) that picks it shows there is some exact way. Maybe it's a Darvas Box thing.... Okay, there does seem to be a midline to it, and the rectangles are of a regular width. Alot of them do have strong logr's in them, also, though, so it's a microcosm of how I prefer to choose trendlines (a good mix of midlines (a given, and too easy) and logr's (adds strength to a possible return to, instead of a steep break from, the trendline).
So I have only observations about them, and no genuine conclusion I feel comfortable directly about. Maybe another time.
And no, it's definitely not Darvas, since candles often overlap the box. I just had looked at a few of the boxes/rectangles that'd had similar features.
Okay, I think I got it now. Midline-only TL's often look like boxes, in that they're midlines, which is vertically boxy, and are cut off short and sharp, as already noted, right? So then, it's a really good idea to search for the exceptional TL that has the same features, only it has (a) logr('s) in it also.
As for an example, that'll take a lot of practice, if I can even get it.







Note: In my current method, I say ' 50%, momo%'; that's another way to say midline, logr.
