Cycle Trading

I used to trade geppy and nothing else. But since I came back a few months ago, I wanted to get used to tamer moves. So I started in e/u, moved on to g/u, but I think I'm getting enough game back to get back g/j. We'll see.

Guppy 4h. Chart. The first chart is squaring a range of price and setting the units of measurement to price-time instead of price or time. I multiplied the square by 3 and the end result was a perfect squaring. You can see that within the square price reacted with turns at the 1/8th divisions. That doesn't mean a whole lot because the range wasn't defined until the end of the range and all of the internal divisions would have already passed. So moving the square to the end of the range should provide some ideas on time.

So far, the division of 1/8th have been reactions (yellow) as well as the angle intersections (magenta). With that many hits the square is still pretty valid.

Now im convinced i need to read your blog to learn how to do price-time measurements myself.The charts are quite convincing

Thanks alot for sharing ,the square looks valid indeed

Here's how I played a smaller square.

Just pulled off some nice pips out of the Geppy. There were 3 cycles lined up.. 1h, 15m. and a composite 5m I made. I nailed the first entry spot on. After a nice drop, price retraced back and the cycles were lined up again so I piled more on. Closed out 1/2 the position at 85 pips per. Will be closing out the rest if price gets back to the session low and/or my next cycle hits. Which ever comes first. Price has already moved about 80% of the average daily range for the pair, so I don't think there's a whole left. Maybe 30-50 pips which for Geppy, isn't much.

Forgot to mention... notice the gray vertical lines on the 5 min? spot on eh? Understanding how to plot high to high and low to low cycles sure makes trading trend lines and pivots a lot easier. Nothing esoteric about it. No astro, wonky Gann square of whatever. Just price pattern observation.

wow,very impressive ,the range itself wasnt much today,so you definitely got what the market gave you

I noticed the gray lines,tho my cycle lines act the same sometimes,its more of a division tool for counting turning points,but you are somehow able to pinpoint turns on them lines every time,..not much to say,but nice,very well done,i have already decided i will devote my time this weekend to copying your technique ,so look out for some sloppy imitation charts in the near future

Good luck & best regards

Yeah, not a whole lot of range compared to some days. But that's the beauty of trading 'time'. Instead of waiting/hoping price hits a level, you just sit back and take whatever pips fall between time lines.

Here are how the next sub-division of time played out. Magenta squares. I didn't trade these. Probably won't be looking to trade for another week or so due to some other commitments.

impressive 4h geppy chart

okey , have fun and good luck with whatever youll be occupied with this week

see ya

btw. i was playing with price squaring on geppy and it works very well on quite a few timeframes,like the 4h high on 2010.04.26 12:00 with cycle lines 36 bars apart ..still figuring it out tho

Although it's a US holiday, this trade is playing out well.

Beauty, eh?

the beauty would be to show me how this works and how to lay or use the tools you used.....thanks

Latest trades were based on a 4h square.

a beauty indeed

grandpost check out his blog,its all in there

Been busy with a new biz and position. But found this little setup a couple of days ago. Sitting pretty now.

Nice one

update. 4h chart this time.

Here's my exit. 7 divisions of time at 7 divisions of price. cha ching cha ching.
