Measuring the Markets – Ideas

Measuring the Markets – Ideas

Requirements:


Only serious people can write something really good.

If you’re an idiot, guru and....please don’t do it.

Tips:
What do you measure, how, when,what tools you use,how do you pinpoint entry and exit, how do you avoid ranges and bad trades, how you increase your odds, when you will close trade and why, what is the most important for you in your measurement analysis...

Give us some good ideas at least.
Or send me a p.m.

And many thanks for your time!

To make it short.
People, these kind of questions are big irrelevant for discussion.
It has nothing to do with number of posts nor years, necessarily.
Etc.

That’s why I mentioned “tips” above...

I still don't understand the purpose of this thread.


Can't find any analysis or so called measuring the market ideas even from you.

Please define "measurement analysis"
I have never heard of it.

I would love a good source for data on % of funds in Aus equities markets that comes from foreign vs domestic investment

AND

if there are some decent sources that breaks the domestic sources down into super funds, managed funds, institituions, retails investors.

Thanks!

My post was #6

Now if you will explain what "measurement analysis" is
I will explain to you what "Spam" is

If you are an intelligent person, you should have realised that nobody knows what you are talking about
Explain what you mean by "measurement analysis" and people may be able to answer you.

Well, I take out my measuring tape between what is a high and a low, select the mid point, see what my 8 cue ball says and make the entry/exit..
Seriously though, your post is slightly offensive to rookies and posting it in the rookie section does not help in any way.

People, please disregard posts 2 - 7 because they mean nothing, and are out of the context.
Moderator, Twee had again moved on my request this thread to Trading discussion, and deleted some, but not all posts.
If you don't know what the word "measure" means then you don't need to ask silly questions here.

We are in the pursue for entries and exits and how you measure the markets.
Yes, I know it all looks very beautiful after the fact on the great picture many of you shown, to make us believe in you, but we need something to make our chances better, before the fact.
And of course it must be some kind of prediction.
Otherwise you could never reach 60,70, 80, 90 % of good shoots, constantly.
And yes, people don’t call it as prediction, but it is exactly what it is.
Prediction. Or you can maybe better say – “Initial prediction”. Even if it is only for exits, only for entries, or for both.
And of course they need history to make this happens. Probably in 99% of cases.
Or they use something else...

So give us your ideas...
Once again I will repeat:
What do you measure, how, when,what tools you use,how do you pinpoint entry and exit, how do you avoid ranges and bad trades, how you increase your odds, when you will close trade and why, what is the most important for you in your measurement analysis...
And NO, I don’t want you to write some babyish stuff, spam and so on, other than very very serious ideas about your market analysis.
If you don’t want to do that or have nothing to say, then leave the thread.
And leave stupid prejudices out of this thread.

Main question in fact should probably be, how to avoid ranges, also in the same time, avoid bad trades. Markets mostly are ranging, but we are in the pursue for the clear picture.
Even if you measure it sec by sec, again you must have very objective tool for entry and exit.
But on a sec by sec basis markets are still up and down or ranging most of the time.
So please share your very serious ideas, tips, via p.m. or here.

Thanks for your time.

There are good daily/weekly range indicators. If daily average range for some pair is 100 pips for last 20 days, and price has allready moved 80-90 pips, so maybe better stay out. That is one measure for example.

If you really want measure the markets, you should learn VSA by Tom Williams. It takes time, but nothing is free.
here are some good traders who use it

Just to see, what you can do with VSA.

Uncovering a layer of price action behind the price action.

Funny thing is, it almost doesn't matter what system you use - its about money management and RRR
BIG WINS and small loses

Yes, except that it's not like that.
The map is not the territory

What do you mean?

Measuring the Markets...

1) 6 Trolls decide to race to the bridge (hm 6 trolls I wonder what that could mean? Why the bridge?)

2) All trolls get off to a flyer once the starting gun goes off (why on earth would they wait?)

3) Along the way Troll three strains a hamstring (What would possibly limit this troll from running I thought he was tough.. mmm he was)

4) I bet that all the 5 other trolls beat Troll Three to the bridge unless any other trolls strain hamstrings or any other impediment (huh?)

that makes sence now I get it.

thz

but I get this more lol cheers

Well as long as you're getting it TEB, that's the main thing/.

Nice, although nothing new...
Keep ideas coming...make focus on maximum objectivity...

@juhanimi
VSA in your example is good but you skipped some candles. Who can tell why...
The main problem with this is how to objectively catch all data in consistent analysis without subjectivity....

@Mingary
Explanation needed...
I suppose volatile BEOUT.
Again strict objectivity is needed.

@TEB63
Explanation needed...
As far as I see, one simple BB...
Nice word for Risk.
Is that mostly when new L/H is formed and on edge to catch the trend?
When candle gives low risk with potential reward at least 1:1, or mostly more...
Static set and forget or adjusted?
What is your average risk reward?
Admit, any other secret ingredients? (When you do it and when you don’t?)

@CindyXXXX
Manipulation? Market’s bad habits or what?

And thanks all for your time!
