GBPUSD. Tracking well. Last night's ATM long. Just needed a close above 1.2280 to get cashed out. I didn't trade yesterday's FOMC. Maybe I should have.

USDX. This is part of the reason I was looking to go long on the GBPUSD. The forecast is pretty good picking up the turns, but as mentioned before, magnitude might be off. In this case, the push up on the dip after that first magenta line was pretty substantial. https://content.screencast.com/users...0Mar.%2014.gif
USDX picked up FOMC pretty well, eh? This weekend I need to tweak some params to see if I can get the USDX to track without so many inversions.

Just closed out my EURUSD spot trade. Forecast bottom was spot on and got out none too soon.

I don't normally trade the USDCHF but maybe I should? Tracks to the forecast pretty well.

I used to do a lot with Vedic ruling body of the day against the Sun.

I posted some of it here:

I made a few more posts after that over the next while showing the method in action.

This post shows the concept but applied across the Gann Sq9.

I'm wondering if I found a bug in MT4. I just plotted a subwindow over the charting area. Which is something I've been wanting to do for years. Either way, if that's the case, I can finally get my Price Cycle forecast into MT4 and be done with Wave59.

I wouldn't call it a bug. But this solves something I've been trying to do with MT4 since MT3!!!! Yes, I've been around MT that long. I turned my price-time forecast into an oscillator which allows me to flip the phase when needed and then plot it over price and have it scale to price automatically instead of doing the stupid multiplier thing. Makes the short on AUDUSD much easier to read now.

Nadex short ATM/ITM GBPUSD @ 1.2560. Heavily ITM, now. Also have a spot trade on that's in the ITM that had to endure some "heat".

S&P Nadex trades. Went short deep OTM looking for a touch of 2334. Achieved. Currently short ATM/ITM 2352. Just need price to stay at least a tick below that to cash me out.

OOOOoohhhhhhhhh SHHHHHHeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Saved by the bell in the dying minute. Literally. Even if that trade had lost it was only risking $60 to make $40 per contract and I had already cashed the earlier S&P and GBPUSD. I still would have been up on the day.

GBPUSD spot trailing stop triggered at 1.2451 for a cool 95 pips. EURUSD still short. AUDUSD shorted at the top.

Hello JR,

Really fascinating work you are doing.

I recently started studying Gann, Jenkins, Cowan etc, and I am honestly having a hard time figuring out where to begin, since there are so much material, and I don't even know where to start.

Do you have any piece of advice for a less experienced trader, trying to study the art of forecasting?

I am not looking for the holy grail or anything, simply a place to start, so I can hopefully one day be just half as succesful as you.

Any books, articles, techniques that you could recommend would be highly appreciated.

Best regards

If you're a newish trader I recommend you not worry about forecasting and focus on trading mechanics and execution. R:R, money and trade management, etc. If you can't make money with just plain ol' price action, esoteric forecasting isn't going to help you out. Much of Gann's work is nothing but 70% - 80%
basically describing price action and chart patterns. But people have a tendency to only focus on the esoteric stuff.

Having said that, I suggest starting with simple stuff. Chart patterns and maybe some fib - time. Most chart patterns are forecasting if you learn them correctly. I've noticed most people don't. Most books/articles these days don't show the profit/time targets of the basic chart patterns I learned back in the early 90's. Once you can understand HOW to trade a basic forecast like a chart pattern, then things like Jenkins, Gann, etc will make more sense. Anywho, I recommend you not start with Cowan, the Gann astro, Earik Beann. Basic Square of Nine is good because it's simple. Fibs and Fib time is good. Once you get a handle on how to trade with vertical lines then maybe move onto the wavy ones.

Attached are a series of articles I wrote about 10 yrs ago for someone's blog. They give some simple fib time forecasting techniques.
