coming up. Retest of 92. Looking for a failure. If above 92, no trade. If close below 92 on 15M, will start to look for entry.
A pip is only worth it if you know how much you risked to earn it

{quote} actually...never heard of them...
That is funny.

W.D. Gann was an old trader and introduced geometric and numeric type patterns.
Things like squaring time and price, Square of 9.
Worked alot in Stocks and Commodities.
I've never tried to apply the more esoteric stuff to FX

Bradley Cowan was/is a recent student of Gann. He made a fortune using new research on Oil.
His books are awesome, patterns from Square Roots, Astronomical stuff (sympathetic resonance).... loads of complex stuff.

Your Cubes through Time diagram is a Bradley Cowan type of drawing.... thought you had studied that.
What is the length of the long diagonal?

My logic is to draw them until they intersect(using opens, highs and lows), so the lengths kinda take care of themselves? ...pending any breakouts of course...:nerd:
Idea was inspired by IDoubleStochs 'Funny Looking Rectangles and Useless Drivel' Thread.

Hi Vlady,

Your DS zone is hit .... great ....
So after similarity zone is done, we are waiting for next opportunity right ?
I mean, we may not take a risk to go short, right ?

Thanks

Agree feline,
I have put short order, Similarity must be restored at support zone 1.3360 - 1.3365 . I hope it will be reached in next 4-8 hours. If not, it will goes up to about 1.343x , and will reach Similarity / support zone on Monday or Tuesday ...

Price is at the bottom of a zone right now, price does not like to remain within any dissimilarity zone, so if it cannot break through it will reverse.

I do not understand the exact meaning of those terms, I do recall cfdtleong and Vlady having those conversations, I did not see the merit in pursuing that line of thinking based upon an indicator that only caught 67% or less of the dissimilar zones.

But what I am saying, is, there is a zone where price is currently at and has failed to penetrate further than it's first attempt into the zone on a single candle.

Hi Baillie,

Could you give me a clue on how you calculate that 67% ?

Thanks in advance.

{quote} As far as trading and making comment about the market here, I won't go there. There are very good people here who are experts themselves. vlady1974 is one. I would recommend you pay attention to his/her little posts! Me, I am off for a while! Once in a while though, I will pass through.
Congrats!! very impressive.. I have a question though -- what is your objective in giving hints about your methods on the forum. i have to think you want people to learn something about your methods so you can have a group of like minded people who can then together improve these. but you seem to tease hints and then disappear so one would think you are participating in the forum only to show off (nothing wrong with that too imho). I think that is one reason some people on EURUSD threat starting going against you.

would love to hear thoughts about your motive on this forum.. anyways have a good time :-)

hehe... if you can RELIABLY do the reverse then you have a great strategy... just reverse (i know reverse of loosing strategy is not always a winning strategy but in this case, it would work imho)

I have thought about that proposition many times, funny to contemplate such things.
