If price may fall lower could you show where the next level could be?

{quote} Hi Landline, As I see it Sell Orders now exceed Buy Orders 141.000 - 140.800. The latter part of yesterday and today we saw Sellers Accumulating their positions by taking the other side of the Buy Orders that had been sitting around 141.000. As soon as all the Buy Orders had been Consumed the Market falls to the next Level of waiting Buy Orders, probably around the 140.00 RN. At this point Sellers will either off load their Sells to the waiting Buyers or Accumulate more Sells to push the Market even lower, like today. The thing is we don't...
Understood...the crucial point is that you have a method all your own that enables your justification of when and when not to take a trade on...which is good!

Everyone should do the same and eventually positive enough consistency prevails...good stuff!

Exactly...what makes sense to one goes completely over an-others head.

I was like that all the time even the simplest concepts went over my head because I was trying to understand them from inside someone elses head.

Like, I have said before it was only when I started to make it "work inside my head" that my Trading really progressed.

Ultimately, it really is what you can achieve individually with your own brain that matters. There is no obligation at all from you (and rightly so) to ensure others have access to your mind. If others choose to try to replicate by observation then fair enough...but you have no obligation other than to yourself!

{quote} OK...the first thing that YOU need to do is to list what YOU think is important in order to make a trading decision (not necessarily what I think). Go ahead and create that list carefully taking into account what you already know. The list should be quite small initially in order to get the conceptual thinking in your mind on what is and isn't important. Thereafter, it can be fine tuned once you have that platform.
First thing to.do is find key areas where price has been halted in the past...eg round numbers half numbers and 20.and 80.levels

Steve could it be possible

To remove the halftrend indicator.

And post charts just purely pointing out strutcture and whats happening.
Dont wanna see the trades etc just the analysis.of struture and where MM are involved.
Also could.you show it on higher timeframes like h1 and m15 as well.as the m5 .
Im watching the videos again you recommended a long time ago and i really.would like to learn the basics.and not the add on for trade entry.
I understand what happens to.the trade entry..i want to grasp.what happens b4 that.
Im going to start posting charts to.simply read the chart...no going to.be easy but.will try

The idea here is for you to develop your very own procedure a step at a time. Later steps may well include round numbers in your procedure, but for now for this initial step, you cannot know whether round numbers for example carry any weight because there are many numbers.

You do know however that price is an important factor because it leaves a footprint. Therefore, if we know that price dictates, then what else would you say is important in that respect?

Hi Jason,

I've tried making videos but I find it difficult to put my thought processes across well in that format.

Make a mistake and I've got to start over again.

Take a look at the Charts below this is as close as I can get to my thought processes.

It comes from all the different information I have absorbed over time and then made work for me.

You will have to do the same, absorb the information but then use it in a way that makes sense to you.

Every day we get a different puzzle to unravel, some days we will succeed and others fail miserably.

Hi Jason,

The Market is constantly looking for Orders to be filled.

In this particular case Sell Orders only went to 139.13 so this was the limit of the PullBack .

There is no way, that I am aware of, for us to be able to see the Depth of the Buying and Selling within the Book.

What we can look for is what happened on Friday (See second chart below)

Hi Jason,

It is easy in hindsight the difficulty is in Trading it going forward.

Trading can be made as easy or as difficult as we want to make it.

Having knowledge of how the Markets work is, of course, a good thing but don't get too caught up in the mechanics.

This is why I simplified things by using the HalfTrend Indicator to give me my Trade Bias Long or Short.

Wait for the PullBack and enter after an Engulfing Candle - Inside Candle - Pin Bar and if there is enough "Free Space" to Trade into.
