Pivot Points

TYPES OF FIBONACCI's & WHEN TO USE THEM 📐📏 Hey traders, In this article we will discuss two very popular Fibonacci tools: Fibonacci retracement and extension. 1️⃣Fib.Retracement tool is applied to identify a completion point of a retracement leg within an impulse. As you know price action has a zig-zag form. For example, in a bullish trend, the price tends to set a higher high then retrace and set a higher low before going to the next highs. In a bearish trend, the price tends to set a lower low and retrace to a lower high. With retracement levels, we are trying to spot the point from where the next impulse in a bullish or bearish trend will initiate based on the last impulse leg. Fib.levels that we will apply are: ✔️0.382 ✔️0.5 ✔️0.618 ✔️0.786 The retracement levels will be drawn based on XA impulse leg. From its low to high if the impulse is bullish and from its high to low if the impulse is bearish. From one of the above-mentioned levels, a trend-following movement will be expected. One should apply different techniques to confirm the strength of one of these levels. 2️⃣Fib.Extension tool is applied to identify a completion point of the impulse. In a bearish trend, the extension levels will indicate a potential level of the next lower low based on the length of the last bearish impulse. Fib.levels that we will apply are: ✔️1.272 ✔️1.414 ✔️1.618 The extension levels will be drawn based on XA impulse leg. From its low to high if the impulse is bullish and from its high to low if the impulse is bearish. From one of the above-mentioned levels, a retracement leg will initiate. One should apply different techniques to confirm the strength of one of these levels. Of course other ways of application Fib.Retracement and Extension levels exist. However, these two are the most common. How do you use these levels? ❤️Please, support this idea with like and comment!❤️

Market Tutorials: Creating ArcsHope you are well! For this tutorial, the topic is how to create arcs using an angulation method. First, take an axis. This axis is down to up. Observe and determine whether it fits better as a 8x1 or 4x1 - or 1x8 and 1x4. Once that is determined, place the geometric angles onto the axis, and use the 1x1 angle as the axis for the arc. Grab your favorite arc tool such as the fibonacci circles, speed resistance arcs, or the gann box. Place the arc over the image and be sure the arc aligns with the box created from the angulation method. Tip: Be sure that the arc is circling the square, so the arc will only tip the edge of the square rather than end inside of it. The height of the original square to use comes from the height of the initial axis used to create the angulation. The intersection of the height of the square and the 1x1 is where the arc should tip the square. The final height and width of the true square comes from the height and width of the arc measured from the horizontal and vertical portions of said arc. Enjoy! Be well!

Geometry: 1x8-8x1 EllipsesHey! Hope you are well! In this chart is shown the various 1x8-8x1 ellipses. The overlay on the four minute chart is shown here! Here is the beginning. There are successive boxes made on the chart. The boxes are the basis of the 1x1, 1x2, and all. This next picture is the initial 1x1 ellipse - or circle if you will. If that is overly populated, here is the same without the successive rings. The ellipse is not inside of the rectangle because the ellipse is circling the rectangle versus squaring the circle; however, do note that whether squaring the circle or circling the square, the eccentricity is the same; only the proportion - the size - of the ellipse changes. Next is the 1x2 and 2x1. Now, all of the successive angles will be shown simultaneously. Enjoy! Be well! As an added bonus, here is what the chart looks like when the successive rings are added.

HOW-TO: FibDev Indicator This tutorial is to explain our FibDev Indicator using AMD 15m chart example. Overview of the daily zones: -- Starting with red zones, these are our daily supply zones. We expect these zones provide resistance and act as potential pivot points for the price to reverse -- The yellow zone is the neutral zone, when price is in this zone we expect that it will continue to chop around until it has chosen a direction for the day. -- The green zones are demand zones. Similar to the supply zones, we expect these zones to provide support and act as possible pivots for the price to rebound -- These zones are built based on previous daily price action and ** the zones will be the same on all time periods for any given day ** Overview of the intraday clouds: -- The upper cloud (red outline) is where we expect to encounter an overbought condition, and that price may reverse down -- The lower cloud (green outline) is where we expect to encounter an oversold condition, and that the price may rebound upwards -- These clouds are built based upon ** the time period of the chart that is selected **. Thus the 5m clouds will be different than the 15m clouds. Overview of the automated signals: -- These signals are printed when we expect there is a chance of trend reversal. It should be noted that trading against the trend is very risky. -- They do NOT serve as buy and sell signals, they are merely indications that price has entered a place of possible reversal. Our thoughts on how to use this data: --The main way we like to use this is by looking for scenarios where we have a wick or close that has broken above or below the intraday cloud at the same time that it is testing a supply or demand zone. Looking at this AMD example here, you can see a few scenarios where it wicked or closed into the lower cloud (some creating Bull signals) and was also testing a demand zone. This provides a layer of confluence as it's not only testing a daily demand zone but it's also testing the faster, intraday oversold zone (the lower cloud). -- A secondary way to use this data is similar to the ORB strategy, where you essentially chase (or ride the momentum) the price once it has broken to the upside or downside of the yellow neutral zone. With this strategy, your potential profit zones would then become the supply or demand zones depending on which way the price moved. Conclusion: -- Ultimately it's up to you and how you choose to use this data and confluence it with other TA tools is completely up to you and your trading strategy. -- For more information on using this indicator, please send us a message here or on Twitter (link found in our profile). Thank you! Great Blue Trading Team

HOW-TO: FibDev Indicator and the Newest UpdatesWe previously published a HOW-TO on using this indicator, but since then the UI and the automated signals have changed noticeably. We STRONGLY recommend reading the first HOW-TO for this indicator as the core concepts are still the same (outside of the signals). UI Updates: We now hide the supply or demand zones if they aren't applicable to the current price action. If the price is in the neutral zone, there is no current target zone so both supply and demand are hidden. If price has broken out to the upside, we display the target supply zones at this time and vice versa for the downside, we display the demand zones. The way these zones are calculated is still the same, they are built using daily values and do not change through out the day (regardless of if/when they are displayed on the chart). Automated Signals: This is the biggest change, we are no longer generating automated signals based on possible reversal points of oversold and overbought price areas. This strategy can still be used, but there will be no signals created is all. Instead, the signals are now generated when the price leaves the neutral zone and track momentum vs searching for trend reversals as before. When the price breaks through the neutral zone to the upside a Bullish Break Over signal is now printed implying that we see bullish momentum to the upside. The supply zones will display and now we are tracking the upside move with the indicator. The opposite for the downside break, Bearish Break Under signal and demand zones displayed for tracking the momentum to the downside. Conclusion: The indicator is now tracking momentum vs reversals, but using a combination of the Intraday Clouds and Neutral/Supply/Demand zones you can still use this for reversal setups. Thank you!

Pivots or Swing Highs and Lows- IPivots are essential in many forms of TA- including the TA i mainly use which is Action-Reaction aka pitchforks Pivots may also be termed swing highs or lows Pivots and swing highs/lows may be harder to define than one first imagines I would define a pivot or swing as follows: A focus of Price Action (PA) which becomes a reversal point This is important because either a V shape or inverse V in PA does not equate with a pivot/swing An acute angle in price may become a pivot or swing in hindsight IF it breaks the trend which price was previously moving along G.R.I. Dec '21 KEY P1 pivot one - price in uptrend along blue diagonal P2- becomes a swing high WHEN blue diagonal is broken to the downside P3- becomes a swing low WHEN yellow diagonal is broken to the upside P4- becomes a swing high WHEN green diagonal is broken to the downside P5- becomes a swing low WHEN pink diagonal is broken to the upside P6- becomes a swing high WHEN purple diagonal is broken to the downside P7- becomes a swing low WHEN green diagonal is broken to the upside

How to send Divergence signals to your Discord server- Do you have a Discord server set up for your own trading community? - Do you use divergences as part of your trading strategy? - Would you like to send automated notifications to your Discord server whenever a divergence appears on any chart? If you have answered yes to all 3 questions above, please keep on reading. The easiest way to receive automated Divergence alerts to your Discord server, is to combine the alert messages from "The Divergent" divergence indicator on TradingView with a Webhook endpoint on your Discord server. Step 1: Open Discord, and go to Server Settings Step 2: Go to Integrations and create a new Webhook Step 3 (optional): Rename your Webhook to "The Divergent (Divergence indicator)" Step 4: Select the channel you wish to receive the divergence signals to (i.e. #divergence-signals) Step 5: Save your Webhook Step 6: Copy your Webhook URL to your clipboard and head over to TradingView Step 7: Apply "The Divergent" or "The Divergent (Pro)" indicator to your chart and configure it as you prefer (The free version of The Divergent can signal Regular Divergences only, while the Pro version can signal both Regular and Hidden Divergences) Step 8: Create a new alert, select "The Divergent" from the top drop down and select one of the Divergence signals (i.e. Regular Bullish) Step 9: Use the Webhook URL from your clipboard as the Webhook URL of the alert Step 10: Use the following alert message: {"content": "The Divergent detected a Regular Bearish Divergence (RSI) on {{exchange}}:{{ticker}} ({{interval}}) @TradingView #divergence $BTC "} Sample message delivered on Discord: "The Divergent detected a Regular Bearish Divergence (RSI) on BINANCE:BTCUSDT (60) @TradingView #divergence $BTC" Feel free to change the content to match your chart / type of divergence you are signalling in the alert. Note : It is important that you format your alert message as a JSON string, and that you key the message with "content". If you have never used JSON before, it is a good idea to validate your message via jsonlint.com to make sure it is a valid JSON string. Repeat the same steps for other charts / divergences. Create as many alerts, as many markets / divergences you want to signal to your Discord server. If you have any questions, please feel free to post it in the comments section below. If this tutorial was helpful to you, please consider giving it a thumbs up! Thank you!

The easiest way to use divergences in your own Pine strategiesDetecting divergences in a Pine indicator / strategy is easy. You simply have to compare the pivot lows and the pivot highs on the price and the oscillator, and if you can identify a difference between the last & previous pivots made on the price and the oscillator, you have likely found a divergence. Using this theory, here is an example how you would detect a Regular Bearish divergence: While the theory of divergence detection is simple, more often than not, things go wrong (the divergence indicator used in the example below is TradingView's built-in Divergence Indicator ): Would you identify this as a divergence? If not, why not? Is it because the divergence line is slicing through the candles? Or because the line is slicing through the oscillator? Or something else? Wouldn't it be great if somehow you could filter out invalid divergences from code, such as this one? We at Whitebox Software were wondering about the same thing, and decided to find a solution to this problem. This is when we realised that while detecting divergences is easy, detecting valid divergences is hard... After several months in development, we are proud to present to you our divergence indicator called The Divergent . The Divergent is an advanced divergence indicator with over 2500 lines of Pine Script, exposing over 30 different configuration options, including 9 built-in oscillators, to allow you to tweak every aspect of divergence detection to perfection. For example, the Line of Sight™ filter in The Divergent would have easily filtered out this invalid divergence above. The Line of Sight™ filter will notice any interruption to the divergence line connecting the price or the oscillator, and will treat the divergence as invalid. This filter is one of many, which has been created to reduce the false positive detections to a minimum. (In later publications, we will discuss each and every filter in detail). Alright, so The Divergent knows how to detect accurate divergences, but how is it going to help you detect divergences in your own Pine strategy? The Divergent is not simply a divergence indicator - it can also emit divergence signals * which you can catch and process in your own strategy. You can think of The Divergent being a DaaS ( D ivergences a s a S ervice)! * Please note, that divergence signals is a Pro only feature. To use the signals, simply place The Divergent onto the same chart you have your strategy on, import "The Divergent Library" into your code, link your strategy to The Divergent using a "source" input, and act on the signals produced by The Divergent ! Here is a simple strategy which incorporates divergence signals produced by The Divergent in its entry condition. The strategy will only open a position, if the moving average cross is preceded by a regular bullish or bearish divergence (depending on the direction of the cross): //@version=5 strategy("My Strategy with divergences", overlay=true, margin_long=100, margin_short=100) import WhiteboxSoftware/TheDivergentLibrary/1 as tdl float divSignal = input.source(title = "The Divergent Link", defval = close) var bool tdlContext = tdl.init(divSignal, displayLinkStatus = true, debug = false) // `divergence` can be one of the following values: // na → No divergence was detected // 1 → Regular Bull // 2 → Regular Bull early // 3 → Hidden Bull // 4 → Hidden Bull early // 5 → Regular Bear // 6 → Regular Bear early // 7 → Hidden Bear // 8 → Hidden Bear early // // priceStart is the bar_index of the starting point of the divergence line drawn on price // priceEnd is the bar_index of the ending point of the divergence line drawn on price // // oscStart is the bar_index of the starting point of the divergence line drawn on oscillator // oscEnd is the bar_index of the ending point of the divergence line drawn on oscillator = tdl.processSignal(divSignal) bool regularBullSignalledRecently = ta.barssince(divergence == 1) < 10 bool regularBearSignalledRecently = ta.barssince(divergence == 5) < 10 float slowSma = ta_sma(close, 28) float fastSma = ta_sma(close, 14) longCondition = ta.crossover(fastSma, slowSma) and regularBullSignalledRecently if (barstate.isconfirmed and longCondition and strategy.position_size == 0)   strategy.entry("Enter Long", strategy.long)   strategy.exit("Exit Long", "Enter Long", limit = close * 1.04, stop = close * 0.98)   shortCondition = ta.crossunder(fastSma, slowSma) and regularBearSignalledRecently if (barstate.isconfirmed and shortCondition and strategy.position_size == 0)   strategy.entry("Enter Short", strategy.short)   strategy.exit("Exit Short", "Enter Short", limit = close * 0.96, stop = close * 1.02) plot(slowSma, color = color.white) plot(fastSma, color = color.orange) One important thing to note, is that TradingView limits the number of "source" inputs you can use in an indicator / strategy to 1, so the source input linking your strategy and The Divergent is the only source input you can have in your strategy. There is a work around this limitation though. Simply convert the other source inputs to have a string type, and use a dropdown to provide the various sources: string mySource = input.string("My source", defval = "close", options = ) float sourceValue = switch mySource   "close" => close   "open" => open   "high" => high   "low" => low   => na --- This is where we are going to wrap up this article. We hope you will find the signals produced by The Divergent a useful addition in your own strategies!

The Most Powerful Market Timing TechniqueI'll start off this post with a simple question: why do market technicians place such importance on "confirming" particular areas in a chart? To answer this, we must first understand what confirmation is and what its purpose is. As simply as I can describe it, a confirmation is a technical process of elimination. That is, one can confirm a directional price change in trend by confirming that a continuation (at least immediately, relative to the time frame examined), is a technical impossibility. Through many hours of cumulative human observation, we have been able to derive rules that the market follows unconditionally. These types of absolute rules are few and far between, but knowledge of them is critical to swing trading pivot highs and lows, as well as a basis for having confidence in timing the market. And that last piece is what confirmations are all about: they provide the swing trader with enough confidence to risk his or her monetary life without batting an eye in real time. To catch a major peak or trough within pips of the true high or low (especially in today's leveraged markets) is not only immensely difficult but is also a psychologically torturous undertaking. The outcome of success is immense wealth accumulation in a matter of minutes; no other platform exists in this world where one can turn their life around in such a short amount of time without it being a function of pure chance gambling (like the lottery). In fact, if one can master the art of confirmation (which is to say that one can implement techniques like the monthly time cycle convergence displayed above), then it becomes possible for one to be nearly certain of achieving the highest form of monetary return that is offered in all of financial markets. I would say that a situation like the one we have here and presented above, offers at least a 90% chance of success; insofar as one can succeed in using short-term options leverage to catch the top or bottom of a major turn and yield something in the ballpark of 10,000% return in a week. At the very least, I'd say that the probabilities are such that the techniques are worth serious examination from serious investors with serious amounts of risk capital. So now that we've covered what confirmations are and how they can be of enormous assistance to the patient swing trader, I'd like to discuss this so-called "Most Powerful Confirmation in Technical Analysis." The technique is a simple trial-and-error test of a particular time period that is surmised to contain a "significant" sub-period of time that serves as a major turning point in markets. For example, my hypothesis is that December of 2021 contains a sub-window of time within the monthly time interval that contains the all-time high price in the S&P 500. My initial reasoning is unimportant; the point is that I have a hypothesis of a major directional change in markets and I want to confirm it as much as possible before I seriously consider acting on it. Thus, I will first look to prior major peaks and troughs over the last 20ish years (Cycle, or Supercycle, in Elliott Wave Terms), and measure the number of months in between these points and the current month to see if there are any numerically-significant matches on at least three of them. What do I mean by numerical significance? I mean that it is an observed fact that there exist certain additive sequences (like the Fibonacci Sequence) that ultimately dictate all price movements in free markets. I will not discuss the myriad sources and hypotheses that propose reasons for why this is; I am going to assume that the collective literature is proof enough of its apparent existence. In any case, my goal is to measure the number of months back to each major high or low and see if numbers like "21, 144, 233, 377, etc." come up in these measurements, and if so, how many of them are there? In addition to fibonacci-number monthly counts are "natural roots and squares," whereby a monthly count is a number that can be perfectly squared or rooted to a whole integer. Further, if the root or square is geometrically significant (i.e. a multiple of 2, 3, or 5), then it may serve as a double-confirmed count and provide the swing trader with even more confidence to pursue his swing conviction. Lastly, if the monthly count on any historically significant peak or trough point in time is a natural root or square, is geometrically significant, AND IS ALSO a Fibonacci number, then you have a triple-confirmed count and even more certainty that the month under examination is a future cash-cow. An example of a triple-confirmed count is 144 months back because 144 is 11th fibonacci number, is also the natural square of 12, and 12 is of geometric significance because of its additive/multiplicative relationship with 3 and the root of 3 (which derives the mathematics of triangles and trines). To wrap this up, the chart above shows that EVERY MAJOR PEAK AND TROUGH over the past 20 or so years spins out monthly time counts of numbers that are categorically relevant to the aforementioned criteria. If I wanted to be even more precise than to say "December 2021 will contain the all-time pivot high," then I would conduct a similar analysis, but on a weekly timeframe using a lookback period of about 5 years. The peaks and troughs will be of one lower degree than those of the monthly analysis, but will similarly provide counts that all spin-out signficant numbers if the week that I am examining, is in fact, the correct week containing the major turn. I call this iterative process of trial-and-error "Time Period Convergence" as a general umbrella term for this all-powerful type of analysis. However, the sky is the limit in terms of precision and one could theoretically work his way down to the exact second of the major turn if one has already confirmed numerically-significant counts on the monthly, weekly, daily, hourly (most important for short-term swing trading, FYI), 30-minute, 15-minute, 5-minute, 1-minute and 30-second timeframes, as long as one has access to live data that can feed in such timeframes. Since I began with a simple question, I will leave you with a simple question: Do you think still think it's impossible to time markets? -Cyc-Pig-lycal Convergence SP:SPX NASDAQ:IXIC TVC:DJI TVC:RUT

Understanding Market Structure In Under 10 MinutesUnderstanding Market Structure In this I explain how to use TradingView tools to mark out the recent price structure so that you can know what side of the market to be on (Buy or Sell) very quickly and easily without the need to use any indicators. You can apply this technique to any market, FX / Stocks / Crypto... it works on all markets. By understanding which community of traders are currently in control (Buyers or Sellers) you can then use the trendline tool to spot areas that might be higher probability areas for your trade entries. I have written the general process below to complement the video explanation. Step 1 Roughly mark out the recent highs and lows of price action just focusing on the main turning points of the market. Step 2 Once you have completed Step 1, use the "eye tool" / "hide button" by the chart label to remove all of the candles and the noise of the market so that you can easily focus on what is important. Step 3 Analyse the turning points / pivot points that you have marked out & if you feel it helps label them as Higher Highs / Higher Lows / Lower Highs / Lower Lows so you are able to know who is in control of the market structure. Step 4 Use the recent turning points that are relevant to your directional bias to spot levels that the market might turn around and continue the trend. Alternatively use candlestick analysis to spot potential turning points. Step 5 Finally place your entry and define your risk management as it applies to your own strategy / risk tolerance.

New Upgrade to [MTF Order Block Finder]Thank you all for the support on my most recent indicator - MTF Order Block Finder I'm happy to announce a new update with new default settings, added features requested by traders, and a new setting to make MTF Order Block analysis significantly less frustrating! Check out the indicator page for more details if you've never used the tool :) Release Notes: Settings changes, feature requests, and upgrades! 1. New default values for settings - Min. Percent move for valid OB (0.25% -> 0.3%) - Max Bullish Zones to show (2 -> 4) - Max Bearish Zones to show (2 -> 4) - Ignore Dojis at Start (disabled -> enabled) 2. Requested Features - Bullish/Bearish Zone color - set your own color and transparency instead of choosing from presets - Line Widths for High/Low and Avg- set your own line width when using the LINE drawing style 3. Upgrades Order Block Draw Distance Often times when using an Intraday chart and drawing MTF Order Blocks, you'll see your candles shrink and compress - this can be very annoying, especially on TradingView mobile. TradingView automatically resizes the chart to keep ALL drawings within view and unfortunately, there are no chart settings to "ignore" drawings that aren't relevant to current price. Now you can set a Draw Distance by percent (%) change to hide Order Blocks that are very distant from current price. Using this setting has several benefits: - MTF Order Block zones plot much faster (less objects for TV to draw) - Allows you to have many Order Blocks (more than the default of 4) and only show most relevant - Overall less frustration! No need to take your chart off "Auto" and resize it manually

Price Action Study: Single Candle Supply & Demand ZonesHappy Sunday everybody, today I'll be providing a quick writeup on identification of single-candle Supply & Demand zones, otherwise known as "Orderblocks" (Credits to ICT for coining this phrase) Supply & Demand are one of the most fundamental aspects of trading securities. In price action - liquidity is believed to be the driving force behind market movements. The primary reason assets move is because of an imbalance between buyers and sellers - supply & demand. If supply outweighs demand, price moves down. If demand outweighs supply, price moves up. If supply and demand are relatively the same - the market consolidates. Supply and demand zones are created during consolidations - and today we are going to look at how to identify them. When prices is to return to these zones, we look for signs of accumulation to go long, or distribution to short. Single candle supply and demand zones are also commonly referred to as "orderblocks" - here's how to identify them. Demand/Bullish OB: A down candle before an up move that breaks market structure - a higher high. Supply/Bearish OB: An up candle before a down move that breaks market structure - a lower low. It is an important distinction - we need a structural break for the zone to be a meaningful region to watch if/when price is to return. -Will, OptionsSwing Analyst

Pivot Point StrategyIf you are scalping or day trading and use time frames under 4 hour, 1 hour, 15 minutes- then try this all pivot point strategy for one week. Example chart is on a one hour time frame of GBPCAD. Add: Daily pivot points (RED line on chart) Weekly pivot points (WHITE line on chart) & Monthly pivot points (BLUE line on chart) on your charts only (three sets of pivot points). You can add trend lines, Elliot waves, fib ret etc... as needed overlaying charts when you are trading. You could have had an easy three trades (two sells and one buy) on Fridays price action related to this pivot point strategy. Rules: if price action has stopped by one of these pivot points, set up either a breakout trade, or reversal of trend trade if an Harami, Engulfing or Pinbar pattern presents its self. Trading the pivot point strategy is great in-between Tokyo end of session to London end of session (12 hours). If two pivot point lines are close: like daily and weekly this area is stronger and harder for price action to break thru, if a weekly and monthly are close together this area is very strong and hard for PA to get thru. Look what happened on chart example with price action around daily, weekly and monthly pivot points--- you can trade only these when scalping or day trading, please do some back testing on this... you will be very surprised by the positive results.

End Of Tokyo 2 End Of London (12 hours)During these 12 hours per day are the highest liquidity and volume during the day, trading Forex. Why? Encompassing Tokyo/London overlap session then only London session then finally London/NY session overlap. If you are day trading or scalping, these 12 hours are best for doing both. Use highest ADR pairs with either Gbp or Eur pairs, you should be able to with right risk management and set ups make piece of pip pie (or make a profit), on one to five trades depending on your strategy and trading edge. On attached 15 minute chart you see up to 70 pips in bullish move during this high liquidity and volume move. Times noted are PST/USA times so please convert to local times. Keeping trading simple with price action always #1, then using maybe daily pivot points, session indicator and alligator- will lead to success. Yellow lines are 4 hour divide lines and peach lines are noting the 9 pm to 9 am (12 hour) period which has high of both liquidity and volume. If you do day trade, think about trading from main daily pivot point or (PP) to either S1 or R1 every day only, this will give you a very high win rate %, please back check. (noted on chart is main (P) pivot point (RED line) to resistance R1 (WHITE line)- would give you a 1:3 or more risk reward set up with 20 pip stop vs 70 pip target... with right risk management on this one trade and with trailing stop.

Sydney-Tokyo Overlap Session Do you trade AUD pairs? If yes, look for trends to start during the overlapping session with Tokyo: around 6 hr overlap time. What To Look For: 1) Look on hourly charts for trends with AUDxxx or xxxAUD pairs to start during Sydney-Tokyo overlapping session (slow but great risk/reward setups) 2) See AUDJPY 1 hour chart example- excellent Harami two candle pattern to set up a bullish trade with. (placed in purple box on chart) 3) 81.500 price level is a highly psychological price level for big banks and realtor traders ( both, love price numbers ending with 000,250,500 or 750) 4) On chart is three indicators (that I use either alone or together) to get confluence with to enter a new trade: Yes, price action only with naked charts work. A- Ichimoku Cloud- price action is above gold line or conversion line (so bullish sign) B- Pivot Points- price action is above weekly pivot point or red line (so bullish sign) C- Bollinger Band- price action is on or above 20 ema or middle yellow line and BB squeeze is starting (so bullish sign) Note: With Aud pairs- look for trends to start during the Sydney session and both Sydney-Tokyo overlapping session- this AUDJPY bullish trade on hourly chart on Friday could have let you ride it for most of the daily session. Do not be greedy when scalping or day trading- get your pip piece of pie and close trade. With all trading price action and risk management are both #1 (set entry, stop and targets for all trades)-

Dow Theory, AppliedDow Theory is a foundational set of principles that underlies modern technical analysis. One of the main tenants of the theory involves trend confirmation by comparing similarities between equity indices' price behavior. Originally, the Dow Transportation Index was used to confirm trend direction in the Dow Industrial Index. Now things are a bit more complicated, with multiple indices covering a wide array of sectors and ever-evolving niche technologies. To get a confluence of direction across the four major American indices (DJI, SPX, IXIC, RUT) to close the week has not been a simple task. I believe this is one of the reasons why a systemic selloff has been delayed in spite of the increasingly opaque economic picture. There are just too many cross-correlates that offset each other on the basis of what each sector "should" do in such-and-such situation. For example, the notion of fleeing to technology as a safety measure may have manifested as a "real" reaction in the middle of 2020, but it was the media's promulgation of such an idea that popularized it into today's common market wisdom. In any case, I would argue that fleeing into tech will work until it doesn't - and that day is looking closer by the hour. Literally. Just take a look at the four charts displayed above - each of the four indices mentioned sports a bearish hourly candle to close the week. While this is subtle information, I was able to see the price action from a tape reader's point of view, and I will tell you that the price movement during this last hour was categorically different than any I have seen in months. This was real selling; institutional selling en masse. Each of the four underlying ETFs were seemingly stuck in quicksand for an hour and in order to confirm this back=end observation, I turned to the charts after the close. The results depicted above depict consistent heavy selling across all four indices, in the form of nasty looking candles to close the session. Charles Dow and his then-clever, and now-accepted theory, would point to this as a prime example, were he still trying to convince the world of its validity. While nothing is certain in markets, this is some pretty compelling data suggesting that, at the very least, there will be some serious volatility for the first time in a long time. I'm short, but it's not so simple with the other side being a hysterical bubble and all. My suggestion is to get creative and take advantage of the four-way confirm. -ConfirmPig TVC:IXIC CURRENCYCOM:US100 TVC:SPX CURRENCYCOM:US500 TVC:DJI CURRENCYCOM:US30 AMEX:IWM TVC:RUT

Using past consolidation zones to determine key areas of S/RUsing past consolidation zones to determine key areas of support/resistance ("S/R") In this chart, I'm using a script that I've published (called " Bollinger bands + RSI Strategy" ) to determine the key areas of S/R (refer to Note 1 (below) to briefly understand how the script behind works). For the purpose of this analysis, we will ignore the performance of backtested results. We will only rely on past entry/exit price points to plot horizontal lines and treat them as S/R going forward. In the above Illustrated BTCUSD example : Marked up in freehand (lime circles), you will see that the strategy has entered long at positions of prices at approx. 35.8k, 31.8k, 34.2k, and 31k, respectively, in chronological time order. For marketable securities (or crypto in this case) that are frequently traded in high volumes, these areas of S/R tend to get re-tested in the near future. (Maybe, can imagine, it is because humans (whales) tend to see them as having meanings, and may view them as targets). Take 35.8k in the example; it didn't hold at the very beginning, shortly gets re-tested, tanks again, and up to the the point-in-time of now when this idea is being published, "it may possibly" re-test 35.8k again. -- Note1: The strategy in the underlying script simply enters into long position whenever indicators of BOLL + ATR suggest price volatility is decreasing, later exits the position when RSIs show overbought, or in alternative case when price touches the trailing-stop-loss limit. For details, you may read the summary of that strategy. Disclaimer : The idea above is solely based my personal views. This post is not an investment advice. Viewers are suggested to consider the advantages & practical limitations of the idea/strategy on their own. If this post contradicts with other school of thoughts, then viewers will apply their own professional judgment to make the prevailing investment decisions.
