Sonic R. System

GJ Bulls or Bears: Interesting action in GU at the moment now that we are in London Session. There is recent Bear action on the M1, but I think MM's are still Bulls as this may be them tricking in longs to take them out with a lower push down later.

Updated chart due to typo.

{quote} That's an interesting way to filter trades. Added to my toolbelt.

I've been out for a couple of hours and once again, its been a ~30 pip sideways crawl.....

Another filter I have is to reduce my trade size when the Dragons are flat - like earlier - and of course, trading during Frankies Hour has a lower probability of success.....


ALso, as Ck87 has reminded us, PATIENCE and DISCIPLINE are THE TWO ESSENTIALS that every trader needs.....

{quote} You guys have been saying MM's are bears from 1.50, the reality is it doesn't matter what they are, what matters is where price is going after you place an order. If price is going up, you best be waiting. It's something I'll just have to disagree with that many sonicers are doing, but hey , whatever works, and as long as you're not trading too big you should be fine i guess. I just want to emphasize PATIENCE! To be a true master trader, we must have top quality patience! Don't get me wrong, I do think GU is going to head lower and get crushed...
You have a good point. And patient is definitely something I need. We can always see the current action and wait to see if it continues or coming near a reversal, in which may be the best time to build as we are now near the bottom or top, and thus at a level for maximum profit and best average position. I have to admit, I do jump on the boat too quick at times :-). In this case, GU has been building up for quite awhile now so not so bad to enter here. Especially with the dragon flattening out. You are right that what matters is where price moves afterwards. The problem is no one knows! So we can only do the best we can and try to be more of a sniper (which I need more experience). PVSRA also requires a very high level of perseverance in addition to patience.

I solve this problem by only adding as prices move lower a certain number of pips at key SR levels. In the run for profits, I may add if there are sonic classic setups and still in my building range. But like you, I'm still trying to find that sweet spot.

Yes, and the best time for scouts has to be when price is at an extreme level one way or another, otherwise it makes more sense to stick with sonic set ups. That would be the best way to improve patience using PVSRA... wait till price is at an extremely oversold or overbought level on H4 or D1.

{quote} Something that can help with this is to not set any stop loss or TP parameters. You are trading very small, so you can just enter the position when you see it and manage it as you need to, when you are wide awake. tah does this as well. If you notice he does not set TP or SL points right away. Joe
Thanks Joe. I actually don't enter SL either. But I do enter TP. But I guess I really don't need to with PVSRA. I'll try it out. At least I won't ever have this problem anymore! It was such a disaster to take this loss for such a stupid reason, when the trade had much potential.

I hope this helps. Your waves are not right. You need easily detectable waves.

What a great sonic set up this has been, and it looks like it may even continue going further down from here. Absurdly good trade.

If you are doing classic sonic entries, yes. A classic sonic entry will give you 1 entry above the candle that breaks the upper dragon on the third leg. Make sure you have the LL-HH-HL pattern. You can look through trades done on this forum. Lots of good classic entries. Tah gives examples all the time. Read post 1 more carefully.

Here's something that I use to help define OB / OS - as a "hard" number, and as such, it can be made into an Objective Trading Rule....

Post # 53,056 " Likewise, a non coloured 34 ema has just +/- 40 pip dashed outer bands as a reminder that price is a long way from the dragon and can be expected to pull back - except in VERY strong moves where the dashed band will show when the move starts to loose momentum "

The actual pip values of any outer band need to be researched and also the Time Frame best suited for this idea, but adding Outer Bands to The Dragon can provide an Objective Level at which a reversal entry may be considered....

{quote} Thanks
No problem. If you need more help, feel free to message me :-). I do recommend reading at least first 50 pages of the forum. PVSRA is a different beast so you will need a lot of time (and experience) to digest. Take note of the vet traders here (Tah, Sonic, Tymed, etc many many more, you'll know if you read the forum post :-).

Looks like Bollinger Bands (BB), but without the measure of dynamic volatility. BB itself is a statistical measure of price movements. Maybe the same principles for BB can be applied.

GU:

This has the look of the MMs currently at the table saying, "Well, we've done our part. Now it is up to the US team to carry the ball (down). We've softened the opposition and given the US team good ball placement for our run......"

Could it be that this whole number area (+/- 20 to 30 pips because the MMs position building is not exacting either) is "Custer's Last Stand"?

Perhaps they could, but I am trying to keep this a KISS system and thus have used fixed value bands as in the Keltner Channel and as I have met Linda Bradford Raschke, I've probably subconsciously used some of her ideas as she was a great exponent of Keltner's work....
