Quoting Mr Hatch
I'm not going to do that today. My TP has been 2850, and because I was quite late for the entry at 2974, I'm not going to hold over the weekend.
That whole play was done with ken's mirror-indi, though I have to switch back and forth between candles and the line-chart. I'm not even sure I have the latest iteration of it.
it does give a heads up of where to look. i tried to get one of u to build it for a while now. 2950 on this small break is a place to look in norm times. for a s... lately we have not got to norm. i had a L signal at 43

weekly now looks quiet bearish

EMA 21 on weekly at 2790

around that level layers of support

on daily EMA 120 at 2789


further layers of support between 2840 and 2820


good fib targets around 2825-2800



best R:R around 2800 to 2790 for a countertrend trade. May target then either highs around 3122 to 3184 or simply test again the 2876 to 2894 resistance cluster.

When the 2790 support shelf gives way we are open to 2695 and deeper

Hi Hatch,


how do you determine the starting point for mirroring?

Is it simply the time shown in the chart or is it a specific point of time/price in the past

Hi Markus,

there is no 'starting point' for the mirroring, as it is ongoing. The tiny popup in that chart I posted is in the screenshot by accident and has no further meaning.
The indi is a visual aid eliminating the need to use the calculator under certain circumstances.

I haven't completely figured out all its benefits.

let's see, if the feather can be the start of new pillow.

Upswing to 2933 min, zone top is @ 2950'ish (+ however much slippage).

EUR/USD.

MY take on it.

the left of this chart is higher then the right,, you have a series of lower highs (3)
you have a series of LL (2).... if this is the chart you are using to trade. i dont see how you get to that conclusion. written on the chart

It could be, but I only play the deep retraces. Granted, I do start looking for bull weakness at that point.

Hi Hatch,


how do you determine the starting point for mirroring?

Is it simply the time shown in the chart or is it a specific point of time/price in the past
As far as I know, there is no guideline on where/how to determine a specific time/price starting point for the Mirror Indicator.

The mirror simply reflects what you currently have on the chart. So if you zoom out, then you will have fewer areas of congestion or crosses between the real price and the mirrored price. And if you zoom in, then you will have a lot more. IMO, these areas of congestion and crosses could be very "interesting."

I too would like to know the "general" idea/purpose behind its creation to have a better understanding and better utilization of it.

Maybe Ken & Gator will tell us more...

Mighty tight range. M15 chart with a fib pulled on September 28th.

1.2806 would finally break it.
