Today was nice, could grab +12. I was really tempted to go short on the high, but in view of candles, I preferred to not do it.

{quote} Mack you killed it yesterday! Those look like nice, straightforward trades. They worked out perfect where you bailed at structure both times. Congrats bud.

Thank you guys. Its nice to not have price make immediate DD upon entry for a change.

Not sure if this helps anyone. I noticed it but it wont help me... I think . Broadening Descending wedge for a continuation higher... maybe??? Probably into the completion of the gartley Mr.Pip highlighted. Breakouts have about 80% success when going with the trend.

Personal, I don't trade this pattern but if price breaks through the zone I might look for a PB and retest of the upper trendline

{quote} How are you determining your stops? Looks like you are using structure to base them off of.
Yes, I am looking to place stops in the vicinity of previous S/R or price hesitation.

The Bulls have recovered nicely to retest the highs crazy volatility today in the markets but as you can see harmonics are respected very nicely. Bulls need to hold to 18150-18140 and make that NSH above 18170 into the area of 18200. I will be in Toronto this weekend at a trading mastermind I leave in a few hours but I will try to keep up and continue to forecast and update you as you all can see price has within reason respected my assessment and analysis. I would like to see comments and questions on what I have been doing over the last couple...
I'm a little puzzled by the gartley and using the HTF. Are you displaying it for a set up or are you insinuating that the pattern has a high likelihood of completing because price is magnetized to it? Uhmmm. I'm reading my own question and it doesn't sound right. I hope its clear. Personally, I haven't use those patterns for a long time. But if their there then their there. I've been trying to master the other aspects first before moving on. I still have the eye for them, especially the BAT, Gartley, and cypher but could never get them to work for me consistantly. maybe that has changed. I like to think my skills have grown. (sorry, I was typing dialogue that kind of blender with internal thoughts. seems relevant so I didn't erase it. )

I do agree with your point about high volume in the overnight , indicating opposing force and to expect complex correction/price action. I remember that you used to shrink the chart only to find the most relevant impulsive swing to form a bias and use the current and dominate swings to support your bias and enter in relevant locations that support your bias. Is this still your stance?

Thank you in advance

Yeah I'm with Mack, I'm just kind of puzzled by it. I know the first half of the thread revolved around using those patterns but imo what you've taught regarding order flow, s/d, and bar-by-bar is much more powerful. Also agree that I still have the eye for them and notice them in passing but I definitely do not seek these patterns out with their respective ratios to solely trade off of because in my experience that has proven inefficient. Perhaps it is beneficial to be aware of them on a higher timeframe and use them only to add a bit of confluence is what you are trying to say.

I do have a question - in your absence a few ppl have posted in here that they are ready for the next chapter in learning. I am under the impression that you have taught us everything that you have intended to teach us via the instructional videos. So are we done in that regard or do we have some more information coming?

Also glad to see you back to the thread and hope you are here to stay a while. I've repeatedly seen 40+ members in the thread at times over the past few days and participation is up as well.

YM thoughts this morning

5w down into big picture 618 and demand.

ON session 99% net short.

Gap from 039 to 014.

Being mindful of gap and large picture 618. Think it's possible to see squeeze back up in RTH but current order flow is down.

Will see what RTH presents.

I did this once on dax and price only made a short break. After that, price went further up all day. This was not nice.

Frustrating PA today. Don't know why YM is so weak.

Notes on chart.

Edit - Got the move I was waiting for, +36 = +55 total for today.

I feel ya. very tight range. I'm always tempted to play it as a range but always get burned so I'll probably just wait. I kind of think if there is a BO to the upside, it might be short lived. Price seems to be compressing so I wouldn't be surprised at a break out failure then a complete reversal for a significant move.

I never really think to play them as a range because I'm always on the lookout for a NSH or NSL lol. I think if I tried to play something as a range I'd just get taken out when the move followed through.

I don't keep track of the triple / quad witching days but I usually see someone post about them on twitter the day of.

Hello Traders,

I'm at this mastermind thing but I will answer your questions Mack you started it so I'll answer yours and jmezz is asking the same thing so I'll expand on that. I will do this probably tonight and there is always more to learn. I will leave you with this and touch more in it tonight. I've always said scale out see that is happening on the larger scale not the larger timeframe. The Gartley is just easier for the newer traders and those less experienced on the 1H then on the 233 but they still there as well. If something is setting up and the expectation takes price in that direction then take the direction and exploit it. Always trade in the direction of strength and have a clear position as to what you are trading. Always ask yourself what is my expectation and am I trading a correction or a continuation? This keeps your profit targets more realistic. More to come.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

true that.

Question for all Ninja users. Have you guys had situations that your stops didn't get triggered and kept you in a trade while price continued into dangerous territory?

If you have, is it insulated to ninja itself and doesn't effect your trade on your brokers account or is it mirrored / duplicated including communication on entry and exit?

I hope that makes sense. I know I'm not using the right terminology.

example:
