Pattern's Chemo-Electric Trading Journal

"the congregation of the three dashed lines crossing at the top"
-- crossover dot (or point). I've done these before, notably with l.p.3; only, the crossover dot itself served as a neutral balance for the TL's crossing at it, a screen so to speak. The crossover dot was very much in the past, with lots of confirmation after the dot from PA for the multiple TL's.
Now, I believe I have a good handle on how to project a crossover dot into the future. This'd have at least a couple of applications, first and foremost in dramatically increasing trade precision, and secondly in projecting l.p.3's (which, when it works, is as good as or better than a Gann Fan).

Then, another example of a projected crossover dot:








----------

another idea, likely also well-worn
and then stated in a way that then fits into my way of tying everything together:


(A trend's angle points either convexly or concavely, that is, as an innie or an outtie. Drops that are outties to the right side of the chart tend to keep falling, and when innies there, tend to return. I'm not sure about rises, yet. And, the entire proposal may be bunk. My second proposal on this is, regardless of direction: Trend angles -- innie returns, outtie continues, neutral stays at level)

(When viewing the charts below, please ignore the lines described in the same chart above.)

a slight change to post#1:


(replaces old "measure" section)




measure geometry (dot,line,curve, ellipse,triangle,rectangle, 50%,momo%; condense, blob), opp-copy >H Shapes -- perfect/parallel <-> random/serial. >V Trend angles -- innie returns, outtie continues, neutral stays at level; this is more exact than saying a collapsed trend returns, etc. balance -- (~ ff, gut trace, attitude, for a person): 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.

replaced an older idea:


measure geometry (dot,line,curve, ellipse,triangle,rectangle, 50%,momo%), opp-copy >H Shapes -- perfect/parallel, condense/blob, random/serial. >V Trend angles -- innie to right returns, outtie to right continues, neutral stays at level reached; this is more exact than saying a collapsed trend returns, etc. balance -- (~ ff, gut trace, attitude, for a person): 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.

another idea:

(this one is not very effective in predicting direction, except for the very next trend's direction; and, which one a trend angle is, in or out, is often tricky to tell)

trend angle innie or outtie to the right -- details, to show its one-trend effectiveness





No, I wouldn't touch this as a method with a ten-foot pole, even to scalp (solely) with.
As a shape, though, it does have validity. It's interesting that I found this, which micro-adjusts where a move might go, just after I posted the predictive crossover dots, which are exactly precise.

another:

(rewrote 'trend angles' section, to reflect different approaches to involving angles in the chart)







measure geometry (dot,line,curve, ellipse,triangle,rectangle, 50%,momo%), opp-copy (shapes) perfect/parallel, condense/blob, random/serial. trend angles -- a micro-trend reader: innie to right returns, outtie to right continues, neutral stays at level reached; multiples: crossover dot (predictive; at a neutral screen (with PA confirmation afterward, all in history); ex., l.p.3, Gann Fan); imagery: 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.


----

idea:


(If volatility is different and the same area and midline/logr is present in each volatility,
then this is a type of perfect, where larger and more significant areas repeat the type and character of volatility, with respect to where each original volatility area is to each other.)







this with another partial change to post#1:



measure geometry (dot,line,curve/ellipse,triangle,rectangle; volatility,50%,momo%), opp-copy (shapes) perfect/parallel, condense/blob, random/serial. trend angles -- a micro-trend reader: innie to right returns, outtie to right continues, neutral stays at level reached; multiples: crossover dot (predictive; at a neutral screen (with PA confirmation afterward, all in history); ex., l.p.3, Gann Fan) (also separated, extended versions of multiples); imagery: 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.

(kept boiling it down, maybe too far; will add and subtract along the way, as needed, using the thinking model have always used, some of which I formally displayed in the last post: The thinking model -- opportunity -- is always sure, what to use in it -- decision -- not so much.)





Since gut trace is an undefineable -- it simply looks over a certain amount of data and, referencing unconscious memory or some such, draws the projection -- I'll put graphic mec around cog, since the body divides emotion in a more personal way and mec is object-dependent, and I'll leave the spike, with types, intact at the brain area, also skipping the vertebrae spike into the body. The balance model at the middle, might as well keep.
Forgive the title, looks like a d... duck.
No wait, I can use less than the tensegrity of the trading model, and use a loose connection through the balance and the xy axes idea.




I tried it, and it reminds me of when I used graphic mec last week in a nontrading scenario. This picture is a way to adjust one's attitude speedily, at least if one's self-aware at the time. And in this improved version, self awareness is easier to achieve.

If I am resistant to change, for instance getting used to being overwhelmed, then u.l. and the (negative) condition routine, noted in the last post, would help break it down.

Here's an easy use of a drawing device:


(Find the middle point that balances between two nondescript shapes on either side.)










-- Other continuous methods I've tried are
- dot, line segment and curve, per micropattern (last week)
- midline width and trendline through its middle, to project through the next average-sized trend (in l.p.1)
- in/concave or out/convex curve to the right of the chart, regardless of up or down on any trend (a few posts ago)
- put in regular time dividers and, at each divider, make an interpretation of the candles there for a TL; often, the TL adds up with the next TL's for a separated Gann Fan, etc. (in my "EurUsd Patterns" thread in RD)
- the dot-/dash-like candles, and sometimes the small spinning tops, when lots are in a row in one place and TL's drawn to another set or to significant spots on other candles (very early, when I traded on the InstaForex platform)
- trend centerlines combined with l.p.5's (early in the writing of l.p.'s)

from here and here:
everybody has an innate sense of how to deal with risk and reward, through learning basic life tasks, and thus apply it to the simple task of exchange with others, or trading.

another example of the last post's new (to me) method
- the middle point that balances between two nondescript shapes on either side; perhaps condenses to show small direction changes:





The middle point, here, acts as if it were an extra line of the Gann Fan.



This method is also a new way to draw trendlines; thus, the midlines-only rule of thumb likely also applies.
Moreover, two-shape-balance TL's are natural midlines, which would result in a significant run that didn't return.

and
exited only partially at different levels on the TP side?
Just an idea.

Here's a third example of
" the middle point that balances between two nondescript shapes on either side; perhaps condenses to show small direction changes":



The triangle gave extra midline emphasis, for a big run in90-degree direction, first. Price never returned; however, a "same-as" (where price returns to original TP, without original reason intact) did appear.




Another continuous method:

S curve.


dot or line segment in upper, middle and lower third of S curve (one's body, in case didn't already figure it).

note Trading is where amount of space = amount of time.
Most of life is where s>t, which'd be more focused on individual competition and cooperative group-based activities; opposite of this is s<t, which may be more of a generation/species-based model.

Stopped using Gann Fans for a little while, and wondered why. Now, have an idea about them --
Maybe some things that lead up to them, also explain their existence.
In this chart, a couple of logr's precede an arguably reinterpretable vertical-line-only Fibo/momo/logr, to increase potential of the Gann Fan shown. More interestingly, the logr's flip direction and convex/concav-ity and the latter being with which the pseudo-Fib vertical lines happen; the Gann Fan's anchor formation is a rather stable one, likely as a result of it being a copy of the last pattern and also due to the noted group/series of activities.

another:

(still trying to coordinate method w/o much cerebral involv't)

That was a messy one. Another version:



NOTE: The charts in the last post displayed an example of a 'type&angle reversal'.
And, '1/4-turn grids' are regular grids where price turns at a split between two lines, or even halfway between that split and the nearest line.

This current version is supposed to summarize all that was more basic to the three technical levels; only the name 'trend' replaced its predecessor.
Especial spikes,as shown on a previous version, gave reason for a flip to reserve all unconscious attention in the lower half of the graphic mec. Yet, no emotion shows, because trend is unconsciously ignored for pain of reliving a really bad episode of margin-call-dom; balance is obvious, yet unstoppable as imbalance; and, the object, the one counted on for "the huge trade", hyperfocuses in one's mind at 'dot'.
So, I propose to apply the 'starter ideas', which display rate in an effective way, where can. This should involve one's attention past the pain and into the reality of the current chart area.



-----

an effective shape -- just over half of a circle, only more like a vase: a cap
(from two unconnected charts)

The name is silly; it's that I've been watching curves and how they change the angle of the predominant trend. Thus, so much of a curve that is symmetric and vertical would reasonably change the major trend just as much. I found a dramatic jump when horizontal trend was at first there, even when lesser shapes aligned in a series and each resembled a cap a little.














another, unused, just included here to semi-officialize what the picture shown means:










For details on what this picture means, see

'axes' on the 'gut trace' for 'trend' in the picture above (post#487),
the outer pictogram in the last couple of pictures -- loosely IDed this 'axes' while also saying it is for horizontal and vertical use --. Later, the outer pictogram's 'trend' cannot and instead is all over the place with its definition and, to be strong, must be -- despite the traditional insistence on only trend pivots touching it. A trend can last forever along time.

the middle pictogram in the last couple of pictures -- which basically said that regular polygons decide where trends angle to and trends go along with regular polygons' decision --.
'Balance' later went there because regular polygons are perfectly balanced from all sides and, at the same time, are too complex to, by themselves, measure the rate of shapes being copied, instead only be subjected to a rate. Okay, try again -- Regular polygons, in their real form, cannot repeat forever nor last forever along time; however, they can retain shape to balance forever.

and the inner pictogram in the last couple of pictures -- the S being a symbol for balance, the 'sticks' being a property where the small number of candles immediately around a balance point magnetize in order according to that dot's property;
and, the <> being a symbol for maturity, any small shape being copied and then there being differences between the copies that one threads together as an explanation , in the earlier edition, or opposes, in the next edition, to emphasize the symbol's shape and thus include an important property somehow.
'Balance,rate' replaced the two symbols because a) a dot can repeat to show rate forever, cannot -- because it is an abstraction, and so can only attract balance around it, a temporary thing when another chart area reinterprets the exemplar for balance -- retain shape to balance forever, and cannot last forever along time, due to the gap between each dot being filled with some or other contrary stuff.
The 'starter ideas' is to give several examples of a general way of thinking, that of using 'balance,rate' to its fullest through different ways to use serialize tiny/partial-shape features/subpatterns -- for one instance, see first chart in #489: It has a boatload of them (convexity, flip (vertical, horizontal), midline (regular, compromise), angle going through verticality, the tiny pattern logr) that develop through 2+ copies each.
Got rid of the 'tiny' requirement, when included 'trend centerlines' in the list of starter ideas.







an idea -- balance lines:



balance lines -- price balances on short line segments, rather than dots, and so direction can be more easily determined






line's angle is in middle of the two balance lines'

(3D multi-object added, with (series,) and (TL,))







In the picture above, 'rejection', if put with word 'rate' that is at the same place, can mean several things:
procrastinate, deny,

And, rate with series resembles r/s levels,which is what is already there with the 'support' on top and 'resist' at lower side; why rate+series may resemble/create an r/s level itself, is unknown. That would range them as a string compared to a TL as a straight line, sandwiching limited-length-line balance combinations between the dot and the trend.

introduction to emotions trading 101 (just kidding) :









This last one is very different from the others.
It uses, for the first time that I recall and too late to save the trade from going into margin call, the complete emotional range my current picture displays / starts lists for. What's so important is that it completely summarizes an entire scenario of troubling nontrading events that impinge on my ability to trade at that very moment.
Now all I have to do is the same thing when needed on the pre-trade side of things.

a second graphic mec chart --

Last chart, continued --

(I was close-minded and avoided a technically obvious trade that I did figure before taking the trade below. It was a kind of partial compromise for my former emotional position, giving up some of my loss for a good trade, the one I did do next and shown below.)









(On the other hand, doing it this way set me up -- and I knew this as I entered the last trade -- for being right from there on in trades, and it was easy accepting the reason for the trade shown next. (I see parallels in behavioral thinking with my own nontrading life, from late yesterday -- such a compromise and return to chores as usual, for instance, with these last four (including the one I didn't take) trades.
Apparently, I relive my nontrading life in trading, or am willing to do so, much more than I thought.)




(The last emotion was a derivative -- fear/guilt, trust/same-as, which together are the exact opposite of the last several (which started with anger/jealousy (not noted) and then [confused: ] forget/mistake (was noted) --, so I didn't care about it as much, and went gusto on the technicals, expanding into the entire, smashed-together chart area and calling sharply the next partial/so-what-it'll-get-there trade.
On the other hand, it was small (only 15 pips) and made me look small, appropriate to the scenario reflected, i.e., how I wanted to feel at the time. Hmmmm... no, reflective only of the scenario. Good, because to be is good, so that I can trade successfully.)
(NOTE More abbreviations that are graphic mec language - only, less additional commentary. It's helpful at first, tho.)

features that justify such a dramatic turn

cycles of using the graphic mec:

('octopus' is a concept at its center one acts upon and thus with action pathways attached to it.
R-points, on vertical body center around the viscera, off-center for ff the cog in terms of an emotion set, etc.; they are inherently high-energy, only passive, so that conceptual shapes in contact/relation with them gain energy.
Emotion set -- The graphic mec's emotions that fill each of its positions.
dots, strings, with-volume shapes -- As a group, 'objects'; see below. Dots are at the lowest/center ring, strings at the highest/outer ring.
Stimulus -- A special object position: Attention from the/a self toward that object, attenuated with position object takes. In this cycle, patterns are nonspecific, since it's how the objects are processed that counts.)
wake-up / emergent cycle
1 i(nside) of self -- heavy gut traces adjust emotional reaction to attention to, and compile, inner octopi
2 features built atop inner octopi from most-slight attention to environs
3 i->o (of self, esp. vertical of) features with dots of r-points level fired up, strings tested to adjust ability; volatility added across the board of octopi and mental shapes produced from octopi's increased environs interaction
4 dots: string -- that is, how one dots (environmental cues), strings (pathways of attention, physical action, etc.) -- is still equal. With-volume shapes (which have their own r-points, produce their own octopi, encounter dots and strings) appear and interact, produce stimuli designed to react to in a certain way within the self.
5 >- adjusts octopus in terms of =,with-volume shapes; string set. HOW -- w/environs emotional balance achieved through completed emotion set. o-objects abbreviated patterns, each with own octopi.
conditioning (negative) cycle -- as a variant upon the last cycle's technical description; has entity (in last cycle, 'self') design own patterns (said in the generic sense, to include features and super-patterns (TL's etc.)

Y has its axis where the graphic mec's is, and spins to lock into position at the x, y, upper left to lower right, and ur to ll axes. One way to consider it is that it traps the object in-between its tines with what is at the opposite of it; I haven't worked enough through other meanings.

The social emotions, as noted in the picture, especially deal with this one because one entity is above, or _- the other entity, vs. the regular emotions having one _ axis toward the LOC (locus of control) -- often another person -- being the . or O for both the regular and social emotions. Axal creation through fight-or-flight response / gut / speech is what creates the . and _ .

CYCLE


Attachment



action
process
('octopus' is a concept at its center one acts upon and thus with action pathways attached to it.
R-points, on vertical body center around the viscera, off-center for ff the cog in terms of an emotion set, etc.; they are inherently high-energy, only passive, so that conceptual shapes in contact/relation with them gain energy.
Emotion set -- The graphic mec's emotions that fill each of its positions.
dots, strings, with-volume shapes -- As a group, 'objects'; see below. Dots are at the lowest/center ring, strings at the highest/outer ring.
Stimulus -- A special object position: Attention from the/a self toward that object, attenuated with position object takes. In this cycle, patterns are nonspecific, since it's how the objects are processed that counts.)
wake-up / emergent cycle generally either positive or negative
1 i(nside) of self -- heavy gut traces adjust emotional reaction to attention to, and compile, inner octopi
2 features built atop inner octopi from most-slight attention to environs
3 i->o (of self, esp. vertical of) features with dots of r-points level fired up, strings tested to adjust ability; volatility added across the board of octopi and mental shapes produced from octopi's increased environs interaction
4 dots: string -- that is, how one dots (environmental cues), strings (pathways of attention, physical action, etc.) -- is still equal. With-volume shapes (which have their own r-points, produce their own octopi, encounter dots and strings) appear and interact, produce stimuli designed to react to in a certain way within the self.
5 >- adjusts octopus in terms of =,with-volume shapes; string set. HOW -- w/environs emotional balance achieved through completed emotion set. o-objects abbreviated patterns, each with own octopi.
conditioning (negative) cycle -- as a variant upon the last cycle's technical description; has entity (in last cycle, 'self') design own patterns (said in the generic sense, to include features and super-patterns (TL's etc.) generally negative
1. concept: entity given name for positioning 2. emotion set: throw entity off-balance -- doubt(hi-lo)/threaten(left-weight w/concept etc.)/reject(center) 3.

This version of post#1 has some interesting grouping of technicals. For instance, continuous feed with "logr-midline (momo & range), volatility AREA = rate VOLUME * angle" reminded me that logr/momo rate of midline application in a wide area can be potent, and in this example below, it pushes price upward dramatically. That is, grids that eventually subdivide into halves and then quarters in one direction, catapult price. Reminds me of a cup and handle.

mm -- Keep track of potential loss in terms of what % it'd take to make up for that loss. So, if your average range trade earns you 1% on the account, your drawdown in probable range-trade areas is 1/2%, where the SL goes if a technical reason also supports it.
source:
"For example, if you have $10,000 invested in the Forex market and you wish not to lose more than 2% of your investment then you should stop at $200.
...
if you have lost 50% of your investment in this case then you need 100% gain to restore the financial position of your account to the original position. The difference between the 100% gain and 50% loss is 50% so your Drawdown is 50%. This is the concept of Drawdown." -- http://www.fxstay.com/step-11/153-mo...nt-styles.html

Likely a coincidence I got the trade; nevertheless, this is the first use of the downspike at the vertical of the graphic mec.

Alright.

I'm failing bigtime, and I need help.
I know my psych leaves something to be desired -- It's on the right track, only its impact leaves something missing.
So I'm going to help my technicals.

DutchCandle, I now realize/think, is a lagging indicator like MACD etc., in that, no, it doesn't lag, it flattens price to relativize its values. So, if it's price, it'll help me see basic patterns better, right?

DutchCandle --
expand (very small box) - contract (big spike), momo (momentum curve)
s/r midline or slight slant or momentum with candle sides' order and relative size -- uniform-made, average-sized box, one-sided;
two big spikes, same size and opposite sides
direction (regular polygon (either or both sides))


an example
of "s/r midline or slight slant or momentum with candle sides' order and relative size -- uniform-made, average-sized box, one-sided;
two big spikes, same size and opposite sides"

It's also unlikely I'll trade the right lines, given so many choices that are still left. That's why I put on a bunch of complete trade studies on the chart, via these steps:
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 total post#1 is now:





warmup:
PA reading -- all those individualistic patterns (candlestick formations (especially spinning tops etc., which give no direction), 7 Bells, harmonics, cup-and-handle, etc.; read here for a good listing) that are so close to just reading PA well that making a series of or line from them is confusing.

And, emergency stop losses of 50 pips are necessary. 120 pip's a one-shot deal. Extra study prep is necessary.

Something I have to get used to is intercycle series.





With the new emergency stop, I can keep trading after such disastrous ones already.

Wow! Thanks, Kambooj, for the vouch.

To carve an original method from a drawing device on price action is a difficult feat, and I hope to learn more from your thread. Further, the calm and variety you have there is a welcome respite.

Good trading to you.
