i think mine gives a buy signal.
Mine doesn't necessarily mean buy as much as it means just wait and see. Price could drop into the line and break through the trend line. Or drop in to the time line and then crash in to the trend line and collapse. Price could break through the trend line tomorrow and then drop in to the time line using the trend line as support. There's quite a few possibilities. But the main thing for me right now is that price is at a resistance. Not support. So no long signal there until price can break it.

Look at the previous aqua line. Price was relatively flat going in to the time line until the before it hit and price launched like a rocket. Or 2 aqua lines ago when price looked like it was dropping in to the line when it reversed hard and rose for 2 days in to the line. Jumping the gun can get you shot.

Time AND Price. Another guy says Price, Time,and Pattern. Which is better. You just need to have an arsenal of patterns for the different tools and you're set.

of course. of course. no doubt but its just annoying me the dow is to over valued i just wanna short it like the time it dropped last time lol..

but whatever time provides us and what price does at that time - we should act accordingly.

but the mandelbrot set has been kind to me on gold take a look

it was a symetrical triangle and uptrend and its a hourly trade -

all i needed was bottom of the triangle and 34 fib bar count and the magic s3 ive been raping with for only a day lol

heres the result so far
(also showing off pip profits like Jr does usually lol)

gold is funny quoting but its i think 100 pips profit but its little for gold. but the value profit in $ is not bad.


anywyas heres the mandelbrot sequence for ya


A Mandelbrot sequence is an infinite sequence of numbers:
s0, s1, s2, s3, …

sN+1 = sN2 + s

Example: s = 1
s1 = 12 + 1 = 2
s2 = 22 + 1 = 5
s3 = 52 + 1 = 26

if u arent familiar with the fractal itself here it is

Do you have the Mandelbrot market book? He wrote one. I've got a few videos on fractal geometry and the Mandelbrot set in particular. One of them is a new agee computer thing. Pretty trippy. I haven't read the book or applied the concepts directly.

actually, I show pips not to show off but to show that I actually trade the stuff and that it's possible to trade profitably with all of this voodoo mumbo jumbo crap. I know of a few "gurus" that sell courses in the thousands of dollars that can't trade their way out of a paper bag and don't actually trade their own stuff. They just sell stuff and analyze what happened but suck at making money in the market. I don't have a problem with that. Some people are star athletes and others are coaches.

[b]Plus, showing the profit shuts...
no shit yeah - non believers tend to tell us we cant predict price and all but blah blah blah most of our trades are based on that concept is it not?

no i havent. its probably complicated yes? i mean fractals are a dimension in tis own. but i have anotehr concept later im willing to test : the sierpinski triangle. from 1 triangle to 4 - to 9... etc.. there must be a ratio or a formula...

ive seen those fractal geometry vids where they use like maya for designing it like the metatron's cube and stuff

JR any opinions on trailing stops vs profit stop losses?

i feel the need to ride a big trend here but also minimize risk exposure WIHT the capability of maximum profit potential capabilities available at hand...
opinions?

anyways im going short aussie to hedge the euro longs
DESPITe my daily aussie tells me to long.

since its a hedge i wont use a stop on this one.
unless it clears the square 's range or the resistance we have here.

this looks like a darn well setup nonetheless

green lines indicate fib bar counts - blue indicates mandelbobos count


i also mix fib ratios with time cycles and the inital values im sure i posted that somewheeere... the planetary thread i think
anyways chart is here.. price now above 1x1 line therefore im taking a retrace and will TP at 1x1 line whcih possibly will hold price.

I caught the high on EU and GU at the London open. Took small profits when they retraced further than I anticipated. Took some losses looking for follow through to the short side that didn't come. Had a couple of smaller winners catching the US open high. Overall, I think I ended up near b/e or maybe in the red.

Here is an update of the Dow Jones series of static cycles I've been following most of the year. Still to the bar accurate.

I took the individual components of the Dow cycles and created a couple of composites. The red plot is a zig zag with every series being in the same phase. The green plot puts one of the cycles in opposite phase. Between the two, quite a few of the major turns are picked up. The overall phase does invert so Inverted the plots in the 2nd chart.
