OK, I will show you why it is important to know all the levels from MN!
Remember what I posted about Understanding the Chart?
Remember what I posted about the workings of the Candlestick?
This applies to every Candlestick!

So, I was plotting PTECZs, on the W1 EURJPY:

Nothing new, the old, usual way! Historical PTECZs.
I switched to MN just to check:

Click to Enlarge Name: eurjpymonthly.png Size: 60 KB

And, enlightning struck, again!
Damn, it is so obvious, it is the end of the month!
Since there is some important Resistance at the top,
the MN Candlestick is in formation! The Wick or Shadow is building!

Damn, the Bearish retrace is so obvious, now!!!

But, why do I need to do the MN and W1 if the Pips are so far away from Day Trading?

Why?, well Why? Why? Why?

So that I will (here some F word comes in) know where I am!
So that I realize it is the last week or last 7 Market Days before the End of the Month!
So that I will not wonder why the Price is retracing Down on a strong Bullish Trend!
So that I can expect that Price Action instead of being mesmerised by the Bullish Trend!

Need more F'n reasons?

BTW see where the Price stopped on Friday?

Apart from the mistakes that are not PTECZ at all,
you do not need any of these Zones except for the Red one!

Actually, you need this:

Click to Enlarge Name: eurjpymonthly_the_right_way.png Size: 62 KB


Then you go to W1:

Then you go to D1:
Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: eurjpydaily_the_right_way.png Size: 60 KB

You got the high level, you got the low level,
there are no PTECZ on the high D1 level.

Then you go to H4:

Click to Enlarge Name: eurjpyh4_the_right_way.png Size: 57 KB

And we follow the PTECZs, the Stops!

Then you go to H1:

Click to Enlarge Name: eurjpyh1_the_right_way.png Size: 62 KB

And follow the PTECZs.

And this is enough to Enter from M15:

Or from M5:

OK I agree with you I did'nt pass but I did the task without any execusess.

I am sure you are very good at relating or applying to things that have happened in the past.

Let me also challenge you without any execuss of not doing it as well.

Post your trade with PTECZ few minutes after the entry and post again after the the exit. The entry, stop and TP should be shown and not like the EJ you trade you shown us after it has almost getting to TP.

I have done it several time before. Steve and luba have also done it.

I don't like when you pick PTECZ that suit your purpose after the fact. DO it man for me to see

I have done it and there is a very good live example in this thread!
Maybe you missed something?

And, I do not pick the PTECZ, the PTECZ was there.

There aren't many PTECZs to choose from.
I just look for the one most appropriate to the situation.

@ejiexe

The first problem is Ego, you know.
The second is patience.
Patience to wait out for the clear situation.
Basically, if we do not see a clear situation, we should just wait.

I know, that you combine the PTECZ with your Divergence/Convergence
method and it works fine. You see the current PTECZ and the Break
without plotting the PTECZ. This is fine, as long as it works for you.

The point is that you should not correct other people or tell them
if they are doing it right or not, because you can not do it right, yourself.

I am not saying that you can not use the PTECZ combined with your method!

I am saying that you can not substitute for me on this thread!

@ eiexe I think we are drift from issue. what Dadas is doing is not our issue, I pray for his success. as we all know that no one get 100% correct trades if over all average is in +ve for long period than it is ok and I think Dadas is in +ve side, what he offer in this thread is matter. how we can get max form this method is our goal. one should be flexible.

Here's how I'm seeing AUD/USD from the top down to H4.

If you do this, over the weekend, with the pairs you trade it sets you up for the following week.

Remember this is just the way I'm seeing it you might find something totally different.

Hi Dadas,
From your robust exchange of posts with 'ejiexe' its obvious that you are passionate about PA and take it very seriously.
Your explanations have also helped to answer questions that some of us might have hesitated to ask eg the relevance of PTECZs that are some distance from the current price and we appreciate that "ejiexe" asked about it.
Following from that, on the EURJPY monthly chart the last time Price was at this level it stayed there for 11 months.
The width of the Mn PTECZ INDEX=104 is ~ 600 pips, so its likely that it would be similar this time around.
As such, why not just focus and take advantage of market swings on the lower Tfs?
I also see that it was rejected at the first approach to this level and maybe this is why we can expect a bearish move first?
Or, is it different because this time it approaching from below?

Yes, stevepat, there are differences on charts, the Candles do not look exactly
the same, but overall, everyone should get a very similar picture.

I see that you are often overinterpreting the PTECZ, extending it.
You do not need to do that.
If there isn't a PTECZ on the Tf where you want it to be, because of Levels,
there will be a good one on another Tf! You, just have to find it!

Another point:
You are applying Bullish Trend PTECZs to Bearish Trends.
This not correct!
A Bullish Trend PTECZ applies to another Bullish Trend.
A Bearish Trend PTECZ applies to another Bearish Trend.

And, we look for PTECZs which apply to the Price Level,
not some next Potential level!
You will look for the next Potential Level on the Entry!

This is what my picture looks like:

Click to Enlarge Name: audusdh4.png Size: 61 KB

Now, you read it like this:
MN - Consolidation for 3 months at High - Price gets rejected (like you did);
W1 - Previous week Break - Down, strong; This week Consolidation Doji (most probably);
Conclusion - W1 Bearish Signal, watch PA which way will Break from Consolidation?
D1 - Wednesday - Break Up; Thursday Continuation UP, strong rejection from high;
Friday - second test Up, rejection, Consolidation;
Earlier strong Bearish which stopped at W1 PTECZ.
Note: Rejections from High - Lower each time!
H4 - Confirms Consolidation at W1 PTECZ.
Short Signals - still present in recent history;
Long Signals - no Bullish Break Up Candle!

H1:

Retrace to D1/H4 PTECZ, bounce off Down;
Price in the Middle between H4 PTECZs - Consolidated;

Did I say anything about which market swings you should or should not take advantage of?
This is your strategy, and you decide which Trends your want to exploit!
The analysis from MN is so that you know where you are!
Maybe you didn't understand this post:
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...53#post6641753
which explains why you need to do the MN, W1 analysis even if you are Day Trading!
If that is your conclusion and you are sure that Price will continue Up, because PA is telling you that,
then what you do with it is up to You!

You are asking strange questions.
If anyone knew the answers to these questions, they wouldn't need any PA, nor even a chart.
That is the reason why we do the analysis from MN to H4 or H1 or M30.
That is why we have the PTECZ and Price Action.

All you are saying is "maybe" - "maybe yes, maybe no, maybe baby, I don't know"!

Do the analysis. Post it. I will comment.
Until you do the analysis, you know nothing!

Here, an example what a Long Term analysis might look like:

GBPUSD MN:
Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: gbpusdmonthly.png Size: 59 KB

There is around 800 Pip Potential between Zones.
After Consolidation with rejection from Support MN Zone
Price Broke Up building the new Bullish Trend.

Enter Long on retrace to the area of the second Green W1 Support PTECZ.

Or on retrace to the Yellow D1 Support PTECZ:

Or, decide on Entry upon H4 PA:

Click to Enlarge Name: gbpusdh4.png Size: 59 KB


Or, whichever other Tf you wish!

The important thing is that:
1. You have the full analysis,
2. You have your conclusions,
3. You have your strategy,
4. You act upon the PA!

Dadas, I will tighten my search for PTECZ and treat major swing points as something to also be aware of when looking for supply and demand levels.

I will also make sure to look for PTECZs that correspond with the direction of the trend and are the ones closest to the market price.

Thanks for keeping me on track.

One does not exclude the other.
If there isn't a PTECZ at the Major Swing Point, there is a TBCZ.
Plot the TBCZ and you will find a PTECZ in the TBCZ on the smaller Tf:
