The chart below is an advanced technique I used to use I called geometric decay. The purple triangle is the root triangle and every triangle after that is exactly the same only smaller. They get smaller at a specific rate of decay related to the distance between an apex and 2 bisectors. Obviously not every line is tradeable but quite a few of them are. {image} You could use any root triangle and just run out the sequence and get hits. {image} Play around. Maybe you'll find something new. Share if you do.
I don't completely understand how you draw each successive triangle and why their orientations are different.

Do you mind providing a step-by-step example?

Since JR is M.I.A. (Missing In Action), can anyone help me understand how he drew the triangles in the below image?

Triangle Decay {image}

I"ve been away, obviously. lol. Glad you figured it out. I thought I spelled it out better than I did. Probably for the best that you had to jump a few hoops.

Good to see you back JR!

It took a bit, but I figured things out. Quite interesting. Have you done any similar work with circles/ellipses?

Do you set your chart to a specific scale before drawing the circles? If so, how do you go about doing it?

I have. There's a post somewhere in the journal here that shows a larger circle with a smaller circle following. I've also done something similar but it's not really decomposing as much as it is just walking it forward.

It looks like you posted in that thread as well.

Coincidently JR, I was reading through that thread last week.

Unfortunately, the links to the images in all of your old posts are dead. They are no longer available.

Do you mind giving some examples for the comments you made in this particular post: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...61#post2510561

Also, do you ever scale a chart numerically (e.g. 1x1, 1x2)? If so, how do you do it?

I'm still looking for those old ellipse images from the post you referenced.

I did find the images for the circle from a previous circle.

I do in Wave59 all the time. Not so much in MT4 anymore since the jump to 5th decimal pricing a few years ago. There is a 1:1 scaling setting, but depending on the decimal place and number of decimals in the price determines what time frame the setting was even useful.

The triangle methods were coming up with ways to get geometric analysis not dependent on chart scaling.

Thanks JR!

Is there a ratio between the two circles in your charts?

Also, was the inscribed Star of David (inverted triangles) drawn freehand or was it automatically drawn using the charting platform?

All of the geometric shapes were drawn by hand. I would use the angle trendline to get the angles correct and then lay a triangle over the top. Duplicate that triangle going forward.

Hi Kapital,

Yes, I do scale my charts. I don't use MT4 for charting so I cant help you about how it is done. I dont think you can get anything out of JR either. The best way to learn from him is looking at his old posts which are mainly where he squares the range in price or time. You need to figure out how to balance price and time first. it is not easy. Then you need to add a few things on top of that for geometry to work. AS far as I am concerned JR will give back polite coded replies to your queries but he wont take you there. I dont blame him for that but thats just how he is. Once I asked him if he could share his sq9 oscillator for MT4 with me which is from a book by mikula. the indicator is pretty much useless if you dont know the conversion factor. He didnt share it anyway. so if I were you I wouldnt hope to get anything from him. My suggestion is never give up and read as much as you can about the subject. from my experience geometry and other forecasting techniques are useless for making money if you dont know the basics such as money management. and you need to know another thing> money management!! and lastly, dont forget money management : )
good luck

Recommend us any book or online reference on angle trendline.

Also, how this interact with money management.

did I not send that to you? I'm sorry. I've sent that out a few times. pm me an email address and I'll send it. It broke on an MT4 update a while back and I don't recall if I ever fixed it. I had lost all of the mql to most of my stuff a while back and only had the compiled versions of things.. many of which broke.
