I don’t need to be a hero, I don’t need to be a poet.

I knew I didn’t like that pullback that ended up not closing beyond the 8 EMO for some reason.

Weekly swing high & swing low money flow lecture.

It’s starting at the 3rd number approximately.

Remember the top at 1.1276? It was just getting in the zone, the Autozone.

Believe or not, this code would scribe up a single line for the money flow beat call.

if (mfi[i+12]>mfi[i+13] && mfi[i+12]>mfi[i+11] && mfi[ArrayMaximum(mfi,3,i+11)]>mfi[ArrayMaximum(mfi,23,i+15)] && mfi[i+12]>79 && iStochastic(symbol,0,120,3,3,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,MODE_MAIN,i)>28){
            ObjectCreate("Sal"+DoubleToStr(i), OBJ_TEXT, indicator_window+1, Time[i+10], mfi[i]+mfi[i]*.2); 
         ObjectSetText("Sal"+DoubleToStr(i), "Sell Beats: "+DoubleToString(NormalizeDouble(iHigh(symbol,0,iHighest(symbol,0,MODE_HIGH,16,i+1))+80*Point,4),4)+", "+DoubleToString(NormalizeDouble(iHigh(symbol,0,iHighest(symbol,0,MODE_HIGH,16,i+1))+140*Point,4),4)+", ("+DoubleToString(NormalizeDouble(iHigh(symbol,0,iHighest(symbol,0,MODE_HIGH,16,i+1))+220*Point,4),4)+")", 22, "Impact", Black); 
         if (iStochastic(symbol,0,120,3,3,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,MODE_MAIN,i+12)<88 || iStochastic(symbol,0,120,3,3,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,MODE_MAIN,i+12)>96.8) ObjectSetText("Sal"+DoubleToStr(i), "MFI strength", 22, "Impact", DimGray);  
      }

I wait an extra 6 hours (12 samples on the 30 min to settle the measuring high / low).

Recently added filters on the downsode are the 240 sample BB width to eliminate calls around a squeeze

 if (mfi[i+12]<mfi[i+13] && mfi[i+12]<mfi[i+11] && mfi[ArrayMinimum(mfi,3,i+11)]<mfi[ArrayMinimum(mfi,23,i+15)] && mfi[i+12]<21 && iStochastic(symbol,0,120,3,3,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,MODE_MAIN,i)<72){

& for a projection to be made price must be below the aforementioned 240 sample BB

As it turns out, the 3rd number is the start of a 30-pip block, so from now on I will have the other end listed too. Or I could make it contingent of the Money Flow extreme being outside the 240 BB.

…

I don’t need to be a pilot, I don’t need to be a pirate.

I’m your best friend, adream.

Here’s the two plums opposing the yellow that I’ve been talking about.

He will certainly be missed.

The one question I have is what is wrong with wanting to solve a puzzle, what is the downside of making an effort for being in picture?

Based on the filter I made on Sunday I concluded that the light green strip warns of a move back to beyond the hourly 8 EMO and forecasts 20-40 pips downside. That is 3 different trades pending.

Maybe there is more sophistication to be had after perfecting shooting from the hip plus having a magazine full of kitchen sinks.

2nd strip = as is

…all she wrote

next up popping the 60 min 30 samp Bollinger before liquidity break back down for higer low

This would be about my flaws of thinking and actions on Friday. Promisory note: a lot to learn from this one.

One of my biggest mistakes is getting out of the positions too early. When there is a lot of back and forth before getting a move going, it is possible to make good money this way, however, just as the example of Friday shows, when I ended up closing out 35 different orders, if I only held into near the close, I could had made $1-200 more by closing out the 8 positions I already had at the open.

Coming ito the habit of repeating the same steps mindlessly, without re-elaluating the situation is never the best policy.

I got out of the initial 8 holdings (1.6 lots) at very near the low of the first swing.

These orders were auto targeted to the 60-min 30 sample BB @ 1.0958 at the given hour, but I just could not wait it out & closed them a few pips shy. The 6.3 stop loss is the code that adjusts the target real time if my EA is running.

I knew there would be another one coming from at / just beyond the 8 EMO & so I scaled back in.

Here you can see freshly opened shorts, as high as 1.09835.

I got all the fills, but then I deviated on two points. One is that for some reason I started leaning towards having to see a 30-minute close beyond the 8 EMO (which ultimately isn’t a must) disregarding that a 2-pip move beyond is satisfactory for the swing high-staring point and two: I was going to hold at least 1/2 for the second move down, but whenever I saw some profits, I kept on closing out to get the stats up and make the $500 daily which left me with no holdings for the transpired.

I also engaged in some boredom scraps doing some roll ins and outs, which can also deviate the mind from concentrating on the master plan, and trigger that closing out loop – cycle.

The last thing was the sizing. I was fully hedged coming in, but since I knew the likely course of the events, I should had increased the short holdings by 2. At times I had 0.3 lots extra in shorts, but until the 2nd cancellation would get printed, shorts would have to be equal or more than the longs.

I have yet to come up with a name for the swing point at the end of the first cancellation and start making projections based on the known statistics. 29, 36, 45 pips are recurring numbers with an occassional outlier of 58.

Cover some at 29, more at 36 and hold back a bit for possibly a bit more.

Counter directional volatility is present, but the virgin level(s) have not been hit yet. Could see a small gap down / first move down to cancel these levels.

It would had made sense not to sell anything at all on Friday, but opening at the close of the day would had been closer to a dice roll: for intance a 10-pip move lower from here with a 20-pip increased spread around the open may never come into money.

All in all I made purely unnecessary steps on Friday and in exchange for good looking stats on paper, I left my flank open by holding 1.6 lots more longs than shorts at the end.

Rolling in and out was not an entirely bad idea, with the second set of holdings into the close I could had made an extra $600 even without increasing the size – an extra $500 gain of rope (equity) was not collected on; actually that gain was my teporarily.

On the plus side I got myself to look back the projection stats for spike 2, which is a very useful thing to be aware of for future trading. Marking up and keeping count of cancellations is a habit to make. Marking up virgin levels is essential.

Achilles Dent poems based on title relevance. He’s me in civil.

The guy on the image is actually Lawrence Fishbourne.

This virgin level was cancelled.

Some more nostalgia from the good old autotrading days.

Need two plums on the upper half for a reversal.

The call to make here, is about as difficult as it gets.

The orange line is the 50% mark of 1100 days’ worth of data.

You are approaching it from above, it should be support. The same time you are testing it for the 3rd time.

This sell off from the Upper Guard Rail to the Lower. No momentum behind it.

It took 2 days to get up, and 2 days to get back down. Not very convincing.

We are going for the yellow virgin level below (perhaps for both), but what if we made it there, what would be the incentive to keep on going?

Once price gets back beyond the 8EMO (magenta) the 2nd cancellation will have been made.

19 days of selling = ridiculously oversold. What would some actual buying do to this picture.

Look at the 5 waves down on the left in white. Was about 20 days. We could be printing a C leg and it would not have to make a lower low either.

Imagine running the stops above the latter Cover High. What would stop price, where would be a collective effort concentrated to kill the rally?

All the moving averages converge here, but going back above 1.1030 would put price back above the 20, the 50, the 9. A lot of bang for a little buck.

Another ABC up?

Frankly, this is starting to look like a disaster for the Euro, particularly if the close would be below the E9.

Two cover highs, stochastic embedding to the downside.

The run up was impressive out of the squeeze, but the 3 cancellations are already in place.

I had a nothing day, market kept on turning before my stops / targets. Need to remember to be humble, and balance out over big news before the 2nd cancellation prints.

These were the ATR projections.

1.10642 was the high.

Buying an I9. Not that I deserve it after this pitiful performance.

The weekly if curious:

Today we’ll be talking about noise cancelling headsets, headset cancelling noises, dinner reservations or something along these lines.

Free Parabolic Snails certificate at the end of this course!

The 3 little figs (Pilifino influence)

Cancel 1 close back inside the 8 EMO (or at least 2 pips inside to show for)

Cancel 2 close back inside the 8 EMO (or at least 2 pips inside to show for)

Cancel 3 (confirmation of reversal) is 3 30-min closes back inside the 8 EMO

Then, price returns to the Trend (T1 = S30)

…may return to the Brand (T2 = other end of the 30-sample 30-minute HL2 BB)

…and may even become your Friend.

There should be a joke inserted here about Stoke On Trent, Brand On Lee etc but I can’t think of one right now.

What do I think of today’s inflow of $546 versus yesterday’s $573?

In trading your days will be uneven & numbered.

Also, $500 a day keeps Luke Belmar & Kellyohgee away.

Below you can see that I was scaled out of 1.7 lots at / around the S30 from the closer orders, and the auto trail stop locked in 3 pips for the remaining positions. As soon as the first of the 5 stops was hit, I closed out the rest manually.

I have the inkling that the second interrupted yellow level from the bottom may end up devirginated for a farewell.

For the first time in history I’m training men.

Not sure what the holdup is, this looks like a wholesome swing high with 3 yellow lines.

Where there is Aggression, there is danger of hijacking.

Violence breeds violence.

This was the second example of hijacking in recent times.

The BB setting is crucial for spotting Aggression and to know where the market gets tripped and pushed onto the conveyor den.

The previous Malaysian Airlines flight managed 50 pips after the trip, then on two later visits managed to add a handful more.

If the low was made this way, don’t be surprised if the higher low follows in its steps

This hijacking managed about 45 pips against the flight schedule.

Both of these missteps were kicked off during a squeeze (BB30 1h span < 58 pips).

Arrows to highlight squeezes.

Ay Kingpin, are you kidding?

You need to re-born and re-porn. Are you with me so far?

The lost 3 amigos after midnight let you do a 3/60.

3 means 3 Bollinger breaches or a 60+ pips stretch reaching outside the BB, whoever comes first.

Lost in interpretation is what means what. The signals are there, now you need to find the correlating outcome.

Am I suggesting that the market may be headed in two different directions at the same time?

Everything I said in the Subordinate Clause entry still stands, but there’s more you can read out of the plum triplets.

The “direction is now up” and “bears get to print one more spike outside the lower Bollinger” are not mutually exclusive.

This is why I was in a rush to deploy 2 lots to the downside soon after there was a clarification of the direction now being up.

Did this all sound alien to you? Are you Ripley?

Bull flag, eh?

Yea, not 6.5 / 20 million I know, but I am not a YouTuber in their twenties, merely a trader with 14 years of experience with self made auto targeting tools and indicators.

& next you should see 3 spikes outside the upper BB.

Gonna lose you with the colors again, but here we go.

A yellow on one side followed by 2 plums on the other is a direction picked.

Missing tooth in the middle.

What is missing here? A yellow print on the upside followed by 2 plums down.

The plum basically a move that consolidates before breaching volatility. The oppressed or subordinate side is the dusk before the dawn.

So this was about posting clips again?

The key to aggression is counter directional volatility.

The key to target projection is counter directional volatility.

While the market does not display the ability to move agaist the trend, it remains in a permanent limbo.

I thought the criteria for an Aggressive entry was settling back to the 30-min S30 first, and although the A would end up printing on the other side of this MA, the actual show card is 30+ pips of move first in the wannabe aggression.

Similarly, MFI beat projections are requiring a conter move in excess of 58 pips to be taken seriously.

So the first fight to engage in is for claiming enough volatility.

I do not know if I have picked the right metric, but I like the 4-hour sample 30 minute chart combo.

This is what I’ve been trying to tell you all my life: news does not change positioning.

COT data is delayed by a week and nobody knows how to read it. Funds cannot just dump what they have into decreased liquidity.

Also drawing “sell side liquidity” and “buy side liquidity” would not get you any closer to understanding the next move’s sustainability.

The market speaks to you via making directional volatility plots.

There was a fake out of the Weekly S2 (1.0945) and the daily S2 (1.0939).

Other: the Money Flow beat got an extra filter, the ionosphere. A low / high outside means that a lower low / higher high is yet to come.
