I haven't read "Tunnel Through the Air", and though many people link it to astro' I am wondering whether this sounds more relevant given the title ...

Given your background, have you ever researched this field JR?

Yeah, that's the fundamental wave and harmonics. 2nd order through 7th. It's also the same as the diatonic scale.. do re mi fa so la ti do blah blah blah. physics 101. music 101.

The planets also line up to those ratios heliocentric/synodic. With the fundamental tone being the 60 yr Uranus cycle.

What I'm doing is somewhat similar to that, but not to any specific ratios. Just the relationships within a single number.

A lot of cyclical analysis methods try and use historic price patterns to line up cycles as close to those ratios as possible. The stuff I'm doing has nothing to do with historic price patterns or cycles at all.

The forecasts are cycles. It's just that they aren't based on historic patterns. Or astro. Just a single number and then projecting forward where it matters.

Here's an example of actually trading the forecast. The magenta forecast line just gives a general outline or pattern of what to possibly expect. Actual trades need to be based on discernable and probable patterns or setups. In this case, a wolfe wave formed at the low area. The target is the 1.3200 area where there is a price cluster. The Wolfe Wave timing target is at the price forecast peak in time. Currently up about 30 pips.

Big screen shot, but you can see how the rest of the day played out and what I'm looking for going into the London and US sessions for tonight/tomorrow.

Here's how things played out over the London session. The high came in earlier and the peaks/troughs look to be a bit out of phase although the overall forecast is holding up. This means the shortest cycle is inverted.

A quick fix is to re-anchor the forecast. Doing so lines up the peaks/troughs a little better and the thing is still fitting the original forecast.

I used stop and limit orders to get in. It looks like I got the highest entry spot on,eh?

Add-on at the pull-back as forecasted. Looking to exit since it looks like a double bottom is forming.

Check out how the original forecast picked up the FOMC minutes release. Pretty cool.

Depends on how much profit. I usually move to b/e around 25-30 pips. Then I target the average daily range as the aggressive target and 75-80% of that as my moderate target. Anything over the moderate is pure bonus and I just watch for reversal patterns or time to expire. Having those 2 targets is key for me. The moderate helps determine the r:r. The aggressive helps keep me from booking profits too early and giving the trade a chance to run with profit.

Locking in profit, to me, is a symptom of greed or fear of loss of accumulated profit. If I find myself feeling that way, I just book the profit and walk away. Or else I'll screw things up. A good habit to develop is not giving a crap what the market does once you're out. Had I held my shorts from earlier, I'd be sitting way pretty. But you never know. Especially with stuff like FOMC. Some stupid spike can trip you up and then playout like you had already anticipated without you. This is why I think poker skills are vital to trading. Once you fold a hand in poker, it doesn't matter what happens. Maybe your shitty 10-6 hits for a straight or something, but is it worth the risk? Or maybe your AA's don't get you anything other than the blinds because everybody folded pre-flop. Seems like a waste, but it's better than losing chips.

Great analogy on poker. yes i think its just a symptom of greed/fear playing in my head. it wasnt part of the initial plan anyways to lock anyways. thanks for the view.

i hoenstly am not too good in poker. i do blackjack well though. i can do counting but not so fast lol


about a sentence u said..
or not giving much crap either when ure in. either hits ur predetermined risk or the targgets u set
