Pattern's Chemo-Electric Trading Journal

(I'm going to separate the charts from the ptm's as much as possible, to reduce confusion. Thus, this extra post.)

Okay, now for a trading performance - ptm reading study.

My first ptm-enhanced trade went fine, only it was beginner's luck.
The second ptm involved a contrary, higher-rank opinion, crashing my results.
The third ptm shows how the second took over the first, and then adds direct connection from gut theorizing to stringing together different brain parts to think with immediately.
The fourth ptm answers that facilitation with a delimiting of information available to process and a difficult-to-discern skewing of how that information is delivered to further degrade that facilitation.
This last one almost ends most useful trading; only a minor point (the large arrow pointing to it) delays this by circumvents the delimiting and skewing in a small way by being the one to initiate action, in the fifth ptm.
The sixth ptm is a clean break from self-control and thus any challenge to it: It fully embraces full-body reaction and measures it in how the user is controlled. The upper center of such a spike can be inspiration, at the same time confusion and loss sets in after another entity does actions the user reacts to (with the middle spike(s)). Thus, for me at least, reactive sacrifice for a new charting idea began.
After the sixth one, the fourth one began to look good, as it seemed I was being someone else and their approach to dealing with trading whatever study is done at the time. This feeling passed before I took up on it, and I kept with the momentum the sixth one began.
The final one seems to get rid of the sixth one's imcompatibility with profit, only its barebones approach and thin, two-axis-chart utilitarianism more carries through into smaller, more manageable pieces the last one's different measures of spike, allowing more space filled with different inspired ideas to crop forth and rewrite the overall method in some way as a meme.
This new method did recreate how I see the chart, and maybe this range of ptm examples can help guide the next bunch of ptm's to better trading.

PATTERNS: New (to me, in this way)
logr, logr's w/midlines, and (not shown here) midline. Also has series at the base of each, when shown.














With this, I may be able to TL w/logr-curve-midline in a simple majority/purity rule.

I was looking around for old shapes I'd missed, and turned up diamonds and compressions. The compressions, I couldn't figure -- I'll stick to my own versions -- and the diamonds I had to redo, as I don't completely understand them in my own terms or in their greater potential yet.
What I did figure was a new version of line pattern one (l.p. 1). It chains a kind of reverse diamond; well, maybe it's unfair to include "diamond" in this description. Anyhow, it chains each area that has a central spot and reversed copies of patterns on either side of that central spot. The angles from left to center may be different than or the same as the angles from right to center, because the center rebalances the entire pattern automatically.
I've seen these things lots of times and didn't know what to do with them. Now, if I can repeat the idea elsewhere a bunch of times, I have something:
I chain these patterns with TL's drawn from left pivot to center of the center and ray it beyond; for confirmation, I often ray to the left this and the right pivot to the center of the center. Eyeing the balance can determine where to anchor the left, center(-of-the-center) and right pivots.












-- afternote:
Tried a couple of other such patterns: VERY difficult to enumerate the ways patterns can be, much less effectively apply the TL rules found above.

[somehow, erased a lot of writing. This is the poor substitute: ]


last post#1 picture and method (w/o description):




example of an
l.p. 4 that uses ellipses, in charts 1,2,
and, in charts 3-6, of an l.p. 1, that is, a single method of drawing TL's in a continuous series along the price-time line --





















latest post#1:



patterns: dots or angles/lines/rays or complex*
rate:random(candles), fractal, fibo or whole(half(compro), third(photog.), fourth(00's)
of copies reversed,opposite,flipped
*complex: regular polygons; grid; trend -- a curve (fibo); a logr(fractal), midline(whole);
more individualistic patterns

Examples of combinations (see posts #521-3)
-- reversed-copies on either side of center, which is really a loose tie of logr's
-- even compressed, which is really a tight bunch of midlines; regular polygons empty, big
-- 'turning corners' in post#520.
-- logr-curve-midline enumeration

; a reason for TP and SL, and move up BE, cut SL's, and extend TP's; and, ptm drawing.

.Funny to look at, painful to go through....


-----


Writing about 'to look at' --
That descriptive list of "ptm-enhanced trade"s in post 521 also looks like this:
1 a boat anchor 2 map of a riverway 3 both, a floating bob, and two landmarks (waterway map symbols)
4 a current and a boat with direction, which could hit resistance (the hash) 5 if does hit resistance, the boat capsizes, dependent on whether or not the floating bob goes under 6 person bobbing in water, struggling to stay afloat (finally, a common trading phrase) 7 life raft with sail, flare, and a careful watch (for danger) underneath
I don't boat and have never pretended to. Most people are at least vaguely familiar with them, however.



-----


Since I'm spinning off literature/media in my subconsciousness and I, with a good example above already, want to stop doing so, I might as well anchor in my personal life in as abstract a way as possible: Erase when obvious alternate resemblance, keep when general context addressed, and use if picture resembles little and the idea of it is original in the context of the ptm language. Of course, all only if it refers directly to my current trading activity, else also toss. If it resembles something in my personal life, I'll likely keep and not post it; such a picture is often more self-serving, anyhow.

. chart'n'trade post...

THAT was dumb.

Okay....




Charts.

Compromise with a couple of short, opposing angles inside the main box. (Ignore all except this and the other boxes.)
-- Yeah, the wedge patterns did fine, too.

Reason all: Frame move w/area, time entry, move up BE, cut SL, and extend TP. And, ptm drawing.



-- I'm removing "Frame move w/area, time entry," because I can trap price and make consistent gains easier with only using SL/TP/BE.
Why is due to my trading method. Other people, especially lagging-indicator users, do better reasoning entry instead. My trendlines apply to a temporary pattern before my entry and ray into an area past me. I can't put my trade in the past, so I define my exit only.

Here's a category others have exploited and I've avoided. I was going after pedantic regularity in my method and now I have it, have several times.
The category is price-time line tension.

I dismissed it with logr-midline, to no avail.
Tried before and after, only it got messy -- Pattern-seeking brain took over.

So will try again:


high-volatility candles area, as in news/session
condensed, smaller-candles shape
single, big run
sharply-drawn shapes
very low volume, price range

My first mec-run trade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MC'ed the next account....
What's wrong.

Hi Ha-pattern, May I know whats that
the image is pretty messy but sound like reveal something

Thanks for visiting.

It's only my version of the market emotion cycle.
I'm just trying to emphasize certain portions of the cycle to absorb and use it better.

My trading psychology(/record) is abysmal, and the cycle is concrete and fairly established.

There is a little experimentation, such as the vector-and-object(line segment) representation of each 'market emotion'
and making a circle instead of a wave of the cycle.

My goal is to cover the territory of how I interact with the chart when trading, in a way I can then respond to and change mistakes.
While it may be that it's because I'm used to thinking this way and thus do,
I've found that including and identifying the range of the x- and y- axes of the mec can be applied to how one gut-interprets and says things.

Thanks too for your reply

Nice Ha-patterns,
A brief explanations about trading psychology, awesome
Likes the pro always say psychology is the key. am belief about this

I like patterns But at the moment I'm trading on MAs. When I'll trade some patterns I'll add it here.

Flattered.

The idea of "temporary patterns and multiple trendlines" must've got to me recently, because I've combined tension release and Gann Fans together:

Line rates tend to confuse me,
I guess because they balance with each other like a seesaw and then go higher/lower.


The cup and handle that follows looks to balance seesaw-like with the series (regular, uninteresting rate (1(relative length for first line segment / copied pattern) 2 3 5 8 (;then pivot and turn; ) 1 fractal, at a cursory glance), I now understand) of lines.



There must be an old s/r line at the end of 8 and where the righthand, down drop begins in earnest. My simulator (LFH) doesn't provide it.)



The rate idea, as applied here, is very loose and with numbers at the same time, which is conflictory and thus discouraging.
In a larger context, it may work --
Series: Sharp (@a 'perfect') or exaggerated shapes to anchor from / copy from/to, subtly-changing pattern copies, and rate.


A last couple of charts with the rest have little to do with rate; they do show how well TL's linked with the example of rate held up over time.

In this, the general shape of each pattern (condensed's) and thus the big run:

Hi Ha-patterns,
May I know ...
Do you only trade on this single pairs, (GBP/USD) ?
I see you use m1 timeframe, are you a scalper ?
and
what is your trading sytle, are you a price action trader ?

Best regards
Jin Shan

Thanks for your interest.

hold time Intraday trader (will go intraweek occasionally). 10-100 pips, prefer latter. When the volatility's right, have done a 175-pip trade. 1' TF.
symbol: gbp/usd, or one pair or symbol at a time. Since my method is unfinished,
I demo-trade gbp/usd for its highly intricate technicals, greater than usual number of channels or other price limits (vs. the eur/usd), and decent spread, volume.
study method: temporary patterns and multiple trendlines. While price action is necessary, I figure ways to stay above that level, since the 1'TF has so many bars: More information to digest.
Will draw with other devices and use the occasional nonlagging indicator.

You must understand that I'm on demo / simulator and lose regularly.
Also, people automatically think a 1'TF trader is a scalper. Yes, I'll trade for a few minutes if it looks like that's all the market's offering on average now, or there may be a huge move in that time. I go for the biggest cycle/reason length I find safe to trade within a day.

post#1, new:






In a discretionary trading session, emotions play on gut interpretation of a chart. I use an event-norm approach to this gut-emotion cycle --

1. A person has an emotional makeup they usually carry around --
   1. one standard quadrant in the market emotion cycle
   2. key, anchoring events that oppose the one quadrant so that one differs in response from the usual mec
   3. diagonal opposites that saturate the positive (or negative) with interaction with another and flip to the other diagonal as a negative (or positive)
   4. compensating emotion pathways on the mec when new activities arise, so that one's standard quadrant is reinforced
   5. level of baseline volatility -- given this and to retain current and avoid a higher one being set, overwhelm may be accepted as normal in a gut/emotion profile

2. study Reason TP,SL,BE. Raise BE, cut SL, and extend TP.
   pattern: complex ( regular polygons; grid; trend -- a curve (fibo); a logr(fractal), midline(whole); other )
   speed: dots ( random(candles), volatile (high-volatility candles area, as in news/session; condensed, smaller-candles shape; single, big run; sharp shapes; very low volume, price range) fractal, fibo or whole(half(compro), third(photog.), fourth(00's) of copies reversed,opposite,flipped )
   area: angles/lines/rays. Useful -- THINK in Gann Fans (momentum) and midline grids (range), to read ahead and capture area. in particular: Series: Sharp (@a 'perfect') or exaggerated shapes to anchor from / copy from/to, subtly-changing pattern copies, and rate.
3. a positivity ratio of 3-to-1...three positive emotions to counteract one negative emotion. Thus, risk:reward,win:lose, etc.
   If fails, then range: I made consistent profit at high percentages every time period
   I made an extreme amount with a special method, then stopped; churned, so made a little over a lot of time with a lot of trades
   I made a lot then lost it all, so now I'm even; every single trade I make is wrong

--------------------



My most-recent key event was

Most of this picture is stuff I use to connect the dots on my personal thinking model ("ptm").
It's ignorable.

The important thing is that mec's 'fear', 'depression', 'anger' and 'ecstacy' spots are taken with information. As well, a simple, short interpretation of each spot is helpful:
'Fear' with 'depression', was in the event touched upon and enjoyed as an absolute until my energy left it.
'Depression' with 'anger', moved of its own accord -- the enclosing squiggly line points to the 'greed' spot -- and left more of how trading with this feels.
Finally, 'anger' is with 'fear', cancelling 'fear' as an effective device and perhaps leading to 'depression' in the 'anger' spot as a displacement.

The one standard quadrant for the individual me is anxiety. In the (individual's) key event,
the 'fear' and 'depression' spots exchange perhaps to avoid capitulation,
the 'greed' spot is only pointed to from 'anger',
and the 'anxiety' and 'hope' spots are blank.
The positive diagonal for the individual is 'anxiety' and 'hope', the two blank spots. So, 'greed' and 'capitulation' are contentious and regular negatives in the individual's life.
