JR i saw ur post on pi in the sky forecast and ur price level for ur "short targets" or targets to go short on.

coincidentally i have a 360 degrees of price from my square right about the same levels mine at 3564.

am not so sure if i can get a perfect squaring right at the edge and that would be good for my longs and a place to squeeze in a short, am carrying these two longs on a nice almost perfect meet on the 45 degrees of price and 45 degrees of time, and a mirror cycle turning point on the timeline

Impressive looking chart there...how long did it take you to develop the skill for that and trade it successfully?

Some parts took forever because I was basically reinventing the wheel. Other parts came quicker because I was an expert wheel builder by that point.

very nice. Like the saying goes.. when time and price square, change is inevitable. Makes you wonder why you'd ever go back to 'standard' or classic TA again and a bunch of wavy line ma's and oscillators. I can't even recall the last time I looked at a MA. Except those that I project into the future that is.

Except those that I project into the future that is.
truth be told i ran to the less common ways of TA (aka "this") because i could NOT get myself around indicators, probably except RSI... and volume. besides that i cant get myself around a moving average, a heiken ashi, or anything i touch! i realized that i was more of a drawer chartist. i was honestly jealous when i saw all the gann guys Orion, You, ILP, i was like whoah... i dove into all the ebooks i can find, all the research materials that can help me, and so far even though not done with the journey, i felt i went far from where i was months ago. but with this unorthodox method, i have learnt that nothing is impossible. i mean who wouldve known crude, gbp and eur said short around the same hour. tahts why i wanted to share it was quite like a "grand trine" or a great square or something like that but with static cycles.

anyhow
GBP perfect squaring?


as u said when price moves out of the square u shift it forwards a timeline ahead or 2, and so have i, range is still valid.
nothing is ever too much to ask. price/time square change is inevitable as Gann says.

First trades of the year on Euro. 30 Min square is pretty self explanatory. 4h square is the main one. Price was at an angle line, time division, oscillator divergence and oscillator trend line.

I'm also short on Pound.

to whoever is cycle trading out there reading this, do have caution to zoom in... not zoom out when taking a trade. i zoomed out max and i was few bars early on this one on crude...

jsut lesson for everyone.

best to zoom out -1x rather than -2x if there is need to zoom out at all when taking a trade into time

from far it looks no differnt but it does make a difference a big one for a time trader

heres chart 1 zoomed in to normal scale

and zoomed out to fit more and make them more blended color-wise

30 Min. Pound 1x1 nailed the top almost to the bar at a time division. Pretty happy with the entry.

wow thats some great entries...

btw judging from the chart that is very least resistance (support) from buyers from the perspective of your fanlines

very nice indeed.

now my next trading research is to learn to add positions based on swing trades.

i tend to just hold 1 of off a trend buildup which i believe doesnt maximize profit potential (but minimizes risk which is good) but ill be watchin gJR's charts very closely now.

i see he added a sell stop at the possible obvious clearance of the angle it just broke and hes aiming for the 1x1. he added couple of others at retests and a fakeout.

brave brave trader....
need to learn to be brave on my end

Bumpa, my adding on technique is actually pretty low risk. What I do is instead of putting my full allotted trade amount on up front, is to break it out into 3rd's or 4th's. I can then test the waters with a smaller entry and add-on as price moves in my favor. I actually make a little less overall per position than if I were to put my full amount on up front,but I also lose less if I'm wrong at the start. Also, I can lock in profits on the earlier entries and essentially the add-ons can end up being financed by the earlier entries. Sort of like playing with house money once things are going well.

Occasionally I'll get hit where the initial entry stops out at b/e and the add-ons get stopped out for a loss. Basically a b/e or winning trade overall ending up a loser. Th trick is dialing in the entry spacing and having a solid setup. Like today and the 1x1 rejection on the pound. the target is the other 1x1 line, so there's a decent amount of range.
