new chart method:






-- plus a new mec with my own ptm, for trade and psych handling

I've finally connected my own ptm into my chart method. Doesn't mean it'll work any better or that I'll escape demo simulator - dom, just that I have a fully graphic (i.e., symbols-tensegral) psych-and-trading model.

Update from the last one, which does show some nice relations between the different chart methods I've used over time; I simply forgot to draw in one or two things in the last post's method --




The new method, minus my own ptm -- you can plug in your own, if it also has a distinct personal-area boundary, designations for the head part and the body part, and at least utility of a chart for the entire and for the body only, as well as y or no for the entire boundary area -- I'll post when have time, soon I hope.

Still working with Ecstatic Postures, the book. It's easy enough as an exercise routine, if you understand basic physiology in some way (me, through Anatomy Trains (2nd edition), Trigger Point Therapy (Davies), and one of those study sheets on the subject) enough to wade through the hoodoo stuff. What I want, is to convert it into a chart patterns method. Of course, I have to depend on the chart patterns study I already have done, at least the basic principles of how a chart differs from the human body and what to do to adjust for it. What I really like about the postures, is that they each include a definite perspective -- Something invaluable in studying a chart. Also, midlines go all over the body and, with some work, logarithmic-type goes with the fight-or-flight response that the parasympathetic system goes into with the vertebrae back and forth. I'm a complete amateur at this, only reading, theorizing and exercising. The central reason I began with this is that I have no real way to socially/psychologically connect through the chart studying, something needed because trading is extraordinarily taxing socially/psychologically. And, using the same system would be a way to segue into dealing with the broke r(s).

Made breakdown of body's superficial patterns, for transfer from EP and to chart. Can run EP('W'), patterns set('chart') in own ptm to ordinary example. Whether ordinary, fractal-photo, or chart background to interact with, should be able to run through and project from a dpx of it. Easiest: chart (patterns breakdown and then) EP's on fmd, transfer projection to chart to trade. Any problems, own ptm is directly connected. Purpose, to treat chart/trade as a gut trace (or similar) -- No more profitable per trade than other methods, only plain where all the dots connect. I'd been having problems figuring an l.p.3 or what not logically aligned with the chart, when something else I missed on the chart was both more important and, at the time, not immediately understandable under the type of thinking process I was going through to get the l.p.3 pattern; key, of course, is lots of fractal-photo books etc. (may substitute on-computer photos, if pre-arranged) have already looked over.

Have a cohesive method, with
............................................. inner-critic - enabled use lines emphasized in own ptm -- for 'think' -- ;
............................................. a grid of chart objects -- for 'communicate -- pieces';
............................................. shapes (tested and) attached to each of the Ecstatic Postures -- for 'action -- grouping';
............................................. a bevy of real-life situations (to which can add trading ones) -- for 'communicate -- grouping';
............................................. micro-shapes organized and, put together in a certain way, making up each of the EP's -- for 'action -- pieces'.

As noted above, I've tested it some. My effectiveness was as usual, big losers with ordinary gains.

The one difference was that I could distinguish every way I was acting, thinking and feeling/communicating during the process; before, this was cloudy and/or partial of an incidence. Because of this difference, I have confidence I can act as a usual trader would to earn money real-time -- Eventually.

I do need to bring in gut trace/position/decision-trace more closely with the as-of-now more static EP's.
Perhaps an 'action -- pieces' match into 'action -- grouping' would increase freeform of EP to widen EP's applicability into gut pdt's,
as I have only explored the first three in trading (demo simulator) charts so that I could interact any of them and increase EP shapes' effect/iciency.

A nice post, noting a difficulty of trading my way (vs. scalping or faster) : 1

Finally brought in my own ptm as the way to trade for me -- Simulator or no ; )

Here's my first try at it:


"the 29 jan 2010 2004 to 2100 is really very detailed, as a 1- and 3-type – angled shape, allowing for only DR as moi. I’d like to see how (NOT if, only as to how causative or not enough related is) a nearby 5 relates.
Okay, there’s enough of a 5 at 29 jan 1700 to :30, and a point near 2200 bounces somewhat off the line perpendicular to the 5ish and thru the bottom of the 1- and 3-type. Thus, as I’m guessing, a chaos is at hand. The bounce of the 1 and 3 type slows it angle forward, with no horizontal line from much earlier in the day.
What I don’t get, about this slowing-forward angle, is that it’s so ORDERLY. It’s disturbingly different.
It’s not an ALT, it seems at once a local DIPL connected with the also-orderly area of 1400-1600, which is very structural and one-track-minded.
A 1-, the structure of the 1- and 1- shape, is ALL, that is, any-angle; so, I’d like to lay some angles on it and/or its derivative i.e. following area.
Okay, I got a 6-28-496 fib fan (relative, since MT4) to stick, and even a parallel line to the middle line to confirm.
My guess was that a midline would connect through from the also-orderly area noted, and it did. Only, that pulls me back to ALT level again, now on a larger chart though – if that could be a benefit.
I need something to distinguish where I am on the OPP and then DIPL for that larger chart.
This chart shows the backward Gann Fan aligning with several key areas, so I went ahead with it. Later, the backward fan does point out a shape parallel to it –

that helped me draw a horizontal line (with pointer arrow) to be reasonable about an ALT to all this that’s happening, when a midline dropped below the viewed chart’s lowest point has the current-price line (not shown) at the same price, then ha-ha it’s a bad DIPL, because where do I go next? It encompasses as much chart as I care to deal with, and produces only an equals, so it’s an ALT. I need to dig into the area I’ve now encased and reinterpret.

Okay, an area I skipped the detail of, only grazing over with a generalization I repeated, is 29 Jan 1800-2000. It aligns progressive angles that are subtle and well-supported. There’s my DIPL.

Wrong. It did go there, only without reason that earlier stopped out the trade. I didn’t play through the power of the modest ‘slow turn’ I found, versus major happenings I ignored. It may’ve helped to run through in detail how the trade reason was not in ALT or OPP and was indeed in DIPL. Yes, the reason was PART of the DIPL, only a very small part, at most the sell on a buy that was 75 or so pips below the current level. I must FEEL that DIPL, and I was getting chaos as valid – a 1-5 match-up through two separate areas’ patterns – and a chaotic impression would’ve maxed out any grouping energy and made me helpless to watch my money go goodbye – as it did through my acting upon it."



Okay, and this is based on a #-of-angles-in-a-pattern set of patterns -- O,=,,->|<---,. / - -- that worked out with several things in the ptm and so "chart" in my own ptm, especially, a moi grouping with chaos / 1- for connecting O and . / - , RT / BL for sinewing together = and ->|<---, and DR with .
What's most important is widely disparate views can hold together, despite unconscious and strongly-held differences or incredible focuses,
in my revision of my own ptm into one I can use wholly for trading.
Oh, and the DIPL-OPP-ALT refers to three ever-more-soundly-based sections of my own ptm.

changed own ptm again, is human timing-based now, need to practice it before show it as can

.

Org'ed EP's w/angle patterns and those into two -- one model (>S) - and one chart (>T) - based -- types of moi's. I pick the overlapping moi, then other gut-figure and write down the trace from whatever information and possible former gut traces, and finally choose an EP from this. This makes more sense than simply silently figuring a gut trace from whatever information and then choosing an EP from this, since then I can get rid of lots of cognitive biases.
Tried it once for the idea, hope it'll work. Can build up any-type trace from it (of course, emotion (mec), current active-figure, etc.) Anyhow, it's a significant step forward into discretionary trading, as all the EP's carry adaptable patterns with them and they're all, of course, active (and athletics figure greatly in games predicting, from what I've read).

the filled shapes are nonspecific, the lines/dots are not: It's the juxtapositions that create the motion type and thus the predictability. I guess you can attach any pattern you like from this; I like to order mine (5(3(p(r(d))))), though simply throwing up lines on the chart works when the new shapes order my view of them, as it'll psych through on my own ptm and get more accurate with what something I today came up with called (os) position - (tm-p) situation - (body) dot(collection of) and dot it all thru. Thus, it's like scenario+, where that one was based on personal experience and this one is based on an immediately prior grouping based on the number of possible angles ( which was O, =, \, -|->, ./- for infinite to zero/one (projectible) angles).
.


(Note: I read this just before the 'r:r^' idea.)

New set, with same (that is, same 1 2 3 4 5, just drawn differently) meaning as last set of patterns, including same moi, EP and color alignings for sketching fractal nature photos. The new drawings have an improved significance in my own ptm, is all. Have yet to test new patterns on charts; line patterns, I changed to align differently, and they're approximate in the descriptive aligning anyway (do match better here, on reflection) -- (3(p((r))d)5).




Also, I reflected that it will be a while (if ever) that I can trade for real, as I figured the path of self-study I need to take to rely on myself in such a difficult endeavor. I still have a chance, after that....


Yeah, the patterns worked, after several tries. Been a while.


Oh, and own ptm:

Was able to consider traces (a pattern without breaking it down, instead considered for its utility (pure trace, used in a decision, actively used at specific points in the body for action, speech, or (for instance) interactive spots in an environs)) more heavily. Trace is opposite theory of mind ('tm-p') about the same current moment. Between them lie interpretation of the trace -- pr (pattern repetition, etc.) shapes, and body interp (i.e., basal ganglia with cerebellum) with (alt to) 'tm-p'. Third is 't' (an other's order), which shares with the former to make its own latter that it projects onto the central ptm'er.

This five-part approach (trace, tm-p; alt - tm-p , pr shapes; and, 't') is for riskier ventures, where speed and risk control are primary.
More (social,)mind-based activities go for a different approach -- More-developed tm-p usage and -specific path interaction delineation, a very slow, functionally loose need that puts off of-the-moment decisions. Groups of trades, perhaps, for instance.

Found a way to use EP to frame trade; must depend on (in)(ter)dependent variables dividing own ptm evenly and spike, positioning, rapid level - and - polarity-of-in/exclusion-from-area t.m.'ing (ex.: iA (where, in own ptm, trading is), for EP to gap between and curve to share between.

Also, got a flash drive. Makes uploading own writing easier from area scanner (used a home scanner earlier in journal, when had one set up). Of course, the stuff gets messy too, so I'll try and be careful.

Haven't tested the first stuff above yet; implementation is both vastly improved -- core patterns to study chart with are unchanged, just the trade management (EP) and discretionary-mode psychology (my own ptm) are new -- and needs regular practice alongside any trading.

nice, recent-to-me video

Also: An idea that, in the last sentence at least, agrees with my (proposed) models approach to discretionary trading: 1.

Finally, I crossed over.

What I mean is, I used my own ptm -- in this case, all-body spike originating from and fully expressing a gut intuition -- to determine the patterns the chart in front of me has. It's so good (to me, discretionary only), I got pictures! (No reason for anyone else to get excited, it's just the first time for me and lots of people do this without my spiel and bluster and needing to draw it.) It's a TRUE gut intuition, or rather gut trace read, something not reduced to localized sketches that have no systematized value.

Okay, without getting into that systematized value in my own ptm too deeply, here, for my own posterity's sake, is the chart and symbols (with appropriate adjustments to match the chart) picture; right now, I'm more comfortable drawing the patterns separately and then referring to the chart with circles and numbers.
NOTE:
I drew three warm-up lines in the chart, not really knowing what I was going to do. The first two measured tension and, unconsciously, local area's direction of its angles; it's the two squares that, respectively, align with the second pictures two gut symbols that are drawn slightly to adjust for the chart.
I missed drawing in the third area before the trade entry, as well as a uniformity and thus easier conscious interpretation of and leverage from each noted chart area's direction of its angles (a concept which I've covered extensively in the journal, and not too much in my own ptm, so that probably threw me off -- it makes sense in fight-or-flight if put in context with a human body's chart axes form.)

I made more progress in my own ptm, adding where 'energy' goes. It should allow me to adjust myself to match a trade's needs, as well as do similar in the rest of life.

area-level-pivot from same rectangular vicinity of candles -- new method to self

SEDONA METHOD (book) said to earn, must go through a lot of issues first. Surround with a situation, one's trading, I found in my most-successful trades (few and far between), I will use my own ptm to do so. Working on its efficacy now, having begun the major portion of processing my own ptm.

Still working on own self.

Practiced and broke down into more-digestible approach, own ptm, which made the relatively dense and smooth model into examples with pivotal effectiveness, smaller and rougher thinking models, and starting-point average examples for the most-central area of own ptm.

Note to self: WHAT TO DO +,EP,spike; HOW TO DO IT chart,tenseg . -- Enough to practice-trade; "+", I may have to make on the spot before do anything else.
Okay, tried. Spike worked once, just read over what had; then, 'hope' (from mec), or at least a comparitively weak signal I reacted to the reading with, failed miserably. Hmmm. Still a gambler's game, feels right (proportions, positions of various aspects of trading difficult to name inside self) now tho.

Maybe trading has become more of a thought experiment for me, a small field to bring together and test own ideas quickly.
Doesn't change that I haven't made it, and want to.

Had some success thinking of some chart patterns I made up recently and, through their/its representing whatever psychological issue - laden trace happening at the time and then letting go of that trace through said identification, feel relief and continued objectivity in dealing with my environs.
This is a common psych method, one also used as a placebo effect for pain (John E. Sarno), with metaphors in hypnosis (Metaphoria (book)), or in connecting pivotal concepts spoken aloud or thought about while measuring one's body balance (Applied Kinesiology).
I hope to transfer my current method to trading, tho attaching it to my own ptm seems a more reasonable choice before that, since situation-based trading has been my best trading profits in the past.

www.fxstreet.com has line drawing on their free online forex charts; no circles or continuous-feed (vs. smashable) number of candles. Probably not the only one....

[highlight=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]For some reason, I can't see half the last post when I edit it; thus, another post.[/highlight]


[highlight=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]Anyway, tried trading and all I did was the ordinary line-drawing; I was under no pressure to trade or even finish a trading-opportunity idea, so maybe that's why I didn't feel compelled to use the above-noted psych patterns method.[/highlight]
[highlight=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]It's nice that using patterns in both is possible, tho, as any combining for further elucidation helps advance profits more easily, I'd guess.[/highlight]
[highlight=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]One thing, at least, is that pre-conscious timing of full awareness of the chart with my social side, another method and one I've described in this journal, may go well with one of the new psych patterns.[/highlight]

The chart patterns noted above must be in context, if one is to include full psych in some organized way.
So: Body axes change with respect to center and vector, and trace per body can also be included in a group to achieve a goal.
Then, the chart patterns can pick an x 90 degrees from a y axis and collapse the rest of the axes onto them, if, say, representing ideal forms from the body (as in yoga); or, one can simply imagine all those axes on the trading chart, using trendlines and also volume or candle length for axes differentiation. A trace expands beyond the body, to include different bodies from that body's perspective.
Because the market takes on lots of collective bodies and each one's perspective, it is best to perform several different types of technical studies on a chart and then average the difference to approximate the collective decision on which direction the market is / to bring the market to go.
In a charts test I informally did a year or so ago, I found trends, that is, same-area breakers, happen much less (2-4:1 or so) than ranges, so collective decision-making can be reduced often for keeping near one body's approach.

Okay: Rounded out all major-time-devoted areas' intensive experiences that were naturally divisive, in choice of pieces in my own ptm (which is composed of tensegrally-located and -defined (thinking-model) pieces). This should cover trading interruptions, as well as offer/include plausible chart patterns properly positioned in 'chart' of own ptm. The ensuing interpretative model of own ptm (itself, in another sense, simply oneself and one's surroundings in terms of oneself (or substitute another entity or object for 'self') is tensegral and complete enough to use ad-lib and not through much effort.
Yet: Test on charts (extensively or no).

another goofy self- / discretionary- trading approach, this one ignoring the charts- and gestalt-derived ones of my past for purely/mostly-psychological ones mind-body - derived:



-- Haven't yet tested it; my guess is that I'll need frames a lot more than this implies, and thus the entirety of my own ptm. The above should hold ground within well-formed frames.
...
Okay, tested it over three trades. Noticed I was missing 'focus' after first trade, had to redo patterns list. Got three of three, no overly-long trades and each of about average size.
Make that four of four, and the last trade won double that of the average ones and about the same as the high-risk first trade.
I'm thinking Ecstatic Postures, to project path/action, and, body contortions to support certain emotions adjoining with face's FACs, to motivate self to do that path/action, filled a particular frame of mind I'm in today, rather than the method itself. So coincidence / first-timer is likely in play.
I do feel the chart method covered all it can. It'd be nice if chart used focus from the gut trace, and thus emotion and then action and then path in the trace and its rings, unconsciously from said chart use, instead of me having to bring in the rather cumbersome EP/(whole-body)FACs, much less my own ptm, during regular trading. I only want to keep my trades aligned with what's to happen on the chart. I would not mind checking on my own mind-body set before a session, or occasionally check on this at significant points during the session (say, breaks), to keep the chart method able to work with me on its own.
Heh-heh, I lost everything once I wrote this lack of confidence in sustaining the chart method's win streak. Speed is a big issue, here. I'll identify brain speed and its relevant chemicals with 'speed', since it also fits into my own ptm.

Traded a sixth time in a new chart date, and got it. Still due to own attitude/emotion set, rather than chart method.
So added 'box', that is, control/condition/etc. box, where one can be forced to match in someone else's box in terms of their control over you, or one takes over and can't handle the responsibility or simplifies it into the ego line and does a half-baked job of responsibility -- the primary reason failure is imminent in most of life, whether unconscious or no. Scenario+, a list of shapes in this journal, did well in describing lots of situations where some type of trap- or other express need for tackling a box is necessary; one can do without it, though, unless one is unfamiliar with taking responsibility (in the dominance/dopamine and serotonin/play areas of above the midline) in various others' (control of their) scenarios.
