Will be back in 50minuts. I dont expect eurusd to close below 1.2920 in the next 50minutes to 3hrs. In the 4th hour Us unemploment claims if bad could take us above 1.2960. If good could makke us close below 1.2920 or not

Apologies for interrupting interesting posts (please do keep them coming) but is this still a part of The Similarity original thread?
I'm about to read more about this idea (from the beginning of the thread) but if there was a conclusion that it cannot be used in any way on one of the pages (eg page 120 and no update on the 1st page) please let me know.

Thank you

{quote} I want an attempt and failure of 2934. Short on a retrace from there....ideally. That could mean 2924
I shorted at 33 but it went to 2939 which I think invalidates that supply zone.
Closed for +3

Awesome mate. I missed re-entering cos I had to do "good boyfriend duties" for the gf who is travelling today... missed the re-entry at 2905. So decided against scalping it cos I knew that around 8:20 to 8:50am, London tends to put in the big orders. That's when the BadAss candle took place. LOL.

Anyways, it does look like my theory of Asian sessions is playing out in some minor way. Asia posts high then ranges. Frankie is the fucker that always does the fake move... so that low isn't Asian session really.... but London opens and posts a high near open..... New York I think will do the same and so I think 2962 is on the cards.

Will look for strength above 2924 to 2935 for a long... but I actually don't care today. it's a 40 pip range day...sheesh!

Its a bit complicated. I have taken what ties in with my personal strategy from eurusdds methods and discarded the rest. Dont try to trade exactly like eurusdd does. But rather look for principles you could use in your own way. Vlady could advice u more

BTW for the newbies and viewers... I am still Net Short on my Bias. I'm sure Ephisi, Josh and other view the same way.
The commentary so far is just intra-day positioning. Even if I was to long to 1.31... the big number targets begin at 1.2764 and below.

Hey Chr1s,

Above is my summary of the Thread.
As a trading approach you are basically looking for arbitrage signals... it's not S/R in the traditional sense but certainly APPEARS like support/resistance.
It's about the price value 1.2345 not being consistently 1.2345 across other indicators that are set up to be identical to 1.2345

Reading through the thread yields a variety of techniques that expound on the principle. There's CI, there ZigZag Bollinger (which I am proud of extending from Eurusdd's original examples), and recently there is Transient / Recurrent Prices.

The last concept is NOT similarity.... but can be used in conjunction. T/R tries to explain prices as events. The "rarer" it is (based on some posulates that Eurusdd has posted) the more unlikely it will be returned to. Thus the concept is less about RESISTENCE but more about probability of being repelled.

If you combine Similarity with Transcience... you can now apply it to any of your own strategies with a new found perspective. Hence why you do not see a Tactic or Strategy here. At the moment, it's my take + Ephisi + Josh + LITEChild, + orid + etc..... if we are in sync, then we are probably looking at the same Transient Zones and Similarity Areas.... perhaps not precisely but they tend to get produced by swing tops and bottoms. The trick then is how to trade.

Eurusdd has not revealed all his tools, so we are substantially less optimal than we would like. So we can only go by PRINCIPLES and adapt our strategies accordingly.

Hope this is a better explanation.

Vlad

What I would say to newbies and viewers/lurkers is obviously to read the thread although not all (myself included) will fully understand all the ramifications. There are however a lot of good posters on this thread who have grasped "the system" quite well (vlady, ephisi and josh to name but three). Whilst I would never advocate copying someone elses trades without your own due diligence, it's fair the say that if the three persons aforementioned have the same bias and you have the opposite view, then I'd seriously think again.

Just had a free lunch at Pho (Vietnamese cuisine)... Awesome. Shorted at 2918 before I went to early lunch. Seems it's just retraced.

I like this thinking Sram. Don't know if you'll be proved right (none of us do)... but the thinking behind it is important.
You're now scanning for these rare events.

Here's a ..... an idea, perhaps, rather than a hint or tip.
When you see the rare event happen..... take the range and see where price goes to later on, with respect to that range.
There. That's a gift for you all.... those that are worthy will work it out.

The tip is... there are some timeframes that are better than others. And I think that it doesn't work all the time, but seems to phase in/out during specific market circumstances (but I've not fully worked that out yet).
