Here's another view of the Bar Footpirint for M15, showing embedded real-time performance indicators inside each "toe" of the "foot." You can distinguish the real-time performance bars, because they are inside (embedded) within the larger footprint ...

Interesting pic. The great thing about drawing a horizontal line is that you can use anything - absolutely anything that gives you an edge on finding points in the market that contain high probability for a Swing with Momentum. That's the dirty ...

Tracking volume in FX is virtually impossible. Lots traded on various platforms would yield various market profiles (footprints) with differing assumptions. Unless you can track all platforms at all times and synthesize that data into a reliable ...

Current situation: Either C forms at a lower level, or B must get extended at a higher level, while remaining under X. If B exceeds X, the Harmonic converts to a simple 127% retracement of XA, which will bring 4022 into play. image

"Defense, is offense." It might sound very Conservative, but rest assured, I'm an Independent.

The Confession & The Secret

No tricks. No magic. Nothing up the sleeve. Just three consistent keys to drawing a line in the sand and then defending that line. The best offense is a good defense. Defend a good line and profits must come in normally volatile markets. When you ...

Notice the even larger Harmonic forming, after the smaller Harmonic has already formed its point D: image If the larger Harmonic forms its point C, then at that point, it will have a good chance of once again coinciding with yet another V-Trigger ...

Or, 4040. The only thing I can tell you about the V-Trigger, is that it often times likes to show up near the A and C points in Harmonic markets: image

Typically, when I get out of the Swap Zone, I go make a cup of tea to relax for the day. But, with the news continuing to come out the U.K., I'm not so sure that the cup of tea is worth it. I'll go ahead and make a cup anyway - keep an eye on the ...

FYI. I've been saying GMT, but my charts are apparently GMT -1. I'm using MT4 Quant by Divisa Capital and they are one hour behind GMT. Sorry, for any confusion on chart timing.

The Confession & The Secret

Regarding Swap methodology. If you go look at chart M15 at 1700 and 1715 hrs GMT. You will note that using the Swap on Close, was inferior to using Swap on RPO. Swap on RPO would have not only taken away the last negative swap trade, but it would ...

I'm toying with the idea of using a V-Trigger to V-Trigger process. Close on all V-Triggers, take the profit/loss and re-enter the market on the same V-Trigger. This produces an Always-In methodology for trading. Again, I don't have enough data to ...

Ok, the last Short was just swapped for a Long. That puts me down -73.3 pips for the day, which is a reasonable recovery simulation. Current trade is now Long and +8.2 pips. V-Trigger Swap Line is 3837.

I'm also testing the three (3) different Swap methods this week, to help me understand if there is a significant difference between them in real terms. Today, I'm using the Swap on Close method. Tomorrow, I'll use the Swap on RPO method. Yesterday, ...

The Confession & The Secret

I don't normally attempt to force bad trades. This week is stress testing the V-Trigger and to force it to have to recover, so I can see what it is capable of doing in real-time. Next week, there will bee no forced/unnecessary swaps.

The chart I use is posted in the journal. It has one horizontal line drawn for the V-Trigger. The rest is a simple SMA8/SMA21 line plot that I only use to reference where the market is relative to its closing averages. No POC on any chart posted. I ...

Thus far, I've padded some losses with unnecessary swaps of -11.8, -14.6 and -12.8. I'll do one more swap now, which should result in -7.9 pips loss. Because I over did it yesterday, I'll stop padding losses at this point and simply use the 3837 ...

The Confession & The Secret

So, let's review what's happening thus far. When I entered the market yesterday, I thought I would need to pad some losses in order to guarantee a loss on the day. So, I began making a lot of unnecessary swaps, such that I was over 100 pips down on ...

The Confession & The Secret

I'm close enough to the V-Trigger now that I'll start to bake-in some losses with unnecessary swaps.
