THT

BANG - ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE prediction from 6 years ago (I made Time Cycle dates way back in 2016 for the next 18 years)for my own personal use - I told IG Community about them 9 months ago) Read the very first post of this this or the 1st few paragraphs shown below: I posted on this very thread a post on 26th June 2021 with a chart showing you a date that needed to be watched - that period has resulted in a market correction, that has been tradable for profits Some of these dates result in very fast plunges like Feb 2020 - again there's hard proof that, that time period was published and noted years in advance (shown in the posts above) Markets are NOT doing what you think or being told! THT

Major prior highs and lows often provide key levels for - I've been watching the 2011 level for a long time https://community.ig.com/forums/topic/8609-gold/?do=findComment&comment=75489

When trading you HAVE to have a plan and rules Either buy at the breakout of the prior swing highs/lows or the Triangle I've used this for YEARS, although I've slightly modified my method to skew the risk:reward more in my favour, but the principle is exactly the same: Tullow Oil All you do is look for the INSIDE SWINGS I covered this in the first few pages of this thread - Market PATTERNS REPEAT Simple THT

Absolutely I posted this in my "Time Cycles" thread virtually a year ago (see link at the bottom of this post) - It's all linked especially the soft commodities - You very very rarely get a Trader/Analyst making such bold claims or calls MONTHS or YEARS in advance The vast majority of these markets formed swing formations I mention in my "How to Win" thread BUT the absolute KEY to all this is KNOWING about the Time Cycle, anyone understanding that the 2020 cycles had "Inverted" knew that as a low it should therefore equal highs up into the next cycle dates (Just look for WD GANN's TRIPLE bottoms on Wheat, Gold etc) Gann said in 1909 "Some of the biggest rallies start from a Double or Triple Bottom formations" - Its rude not to trade them! On Time Cycles - ALL financial markets work out to TIME, its WHY markets "wiggle" around and then have tops and bottoms - If people can work out the basic cycles from the below link as I mentioned, then they should be able to "roughly" work out when it tops (which is soon!) I cannot begin to tell you just how much TIME affects us Humans - From these time cycles, people are losing wealth in the Investments, losing through Inflation from commodities etc - KNOWING the consequences of such cycles ALLOWS YOU as a human to POSITION your financial affairs accordingly to the outlook but the worst thing is people don't have a clue about Time or Time Cycles and believe that all these events happen out of the blue Gann Secondary Reaction or Elliott Wave 2 LOW in March 2020 allowed long term Investors to get on board the train for an ultra low risk/exposure trade - see if you can find the double bottom in 2021 that kick started the recent rally = BRENT ETF Same for Wheat in 2020 and a beautiful "square on" Triple Bottom recently = Wheat ETF An unrelated to financial markets - Time controls WEATHER cycles, the hype around Global warming is valid, but its not extinction for the Earth, once the current up cycle tops out, the Earth will start to cool again - this video proves it: https://community.ig.com/forums/topic/13746-time-cycles/?do=findComment&comment=73143

In addition to the post above showing you that the market topped to the 1.902 Golden Triangle ratio - here's another one within 3 points of the top Rally from Low in 2016 up to the Jan 2018 high/top = 1 Times that rally by 2.828 (which is a harmonic of the SQUARE and you get the TOP short by just 3 points The Feb 2020 plunge that was also a known time cycle date forced the market down 35,41% 35.4% is another harmonic of the SQUARE and is the INVERSE of 2.828 EVERY trader in the world has said to themselves "I can't work out what the market is up to" at some stage in their life - its because the market KNOWS years in advance where it is heading, we pick up the pieces through geometrical ratios after the event, See how it all fits - and as in the post above the market worked out to he diagonal of a golden triangle as well, which you'd expect as its all linked to the SQUARE

So following on from a few things - Do we KNOW for CERTAIN what the markets next move is? NO we don't - BUT..........We can use TA to guess with a high probability of success The chart below is BARCLAYS BANK I've not bothered to look to see what its up to today as I'll get that price data tonight Now this is NOT guaranteed - but so far Barclays is in the position of forming a near perfect GARTLEY harmonic pattern Traders will be expecting higher highs - BUT IF and its an IF, a Gartley pattern is forming, then price should stall around those levels clumped together on the chart - doesn't have to be exact but it needs to hit those levels and then REVERSE NOT to new lows, but it needs to top out and stall some coming back into the RANGE of the #B-#C swing as a MINIMUM This is crucial info to a trader who is long as if like me you trade Gann Secondary Reactions - the #ABC swing! you want to know where possible resistance is and where the move could terminate Traditional Gartley traders will automatically sell at #D with a stop above X - I prefer to wait and get confirmation around #D of price turning, then I short with a tight stop in the range between #D to #X, usually 1 penny above the HIGH of the bar that reverses the uptrend If #X is exceeded then the Gartley potential ends, but any point up to #X the Gartley will remain a valid potential trade As this ones very close to playing out I'll keep you posted on if it works or not

THE ART OF TRADING CORRECTIONS Right, let me show you how to nail and trade these corrections - I don't care how you label them, 1,2 / 1,2,3 / A,B or ABC - up to YOU I'm going to show you how to buy at either the LOW bar of the correction or within 1-2 bars of the low bar The VAST majority of corrections happen greater than the 38.2% Fib retracement level - so that MEANS 50%+ level See everything I've told you about geometry - Price has HAD to hit the 78.6% level to possibly COMPLETE the geometric shape/form its been working out to - IF and its ALWAYS an IF, price has completed the geometry, then we'll have a significant and meaningful bounce from here on in - If it doesn't then its another warning signal But as Very HIGH Probability trading opportunity it is in position on the PATTERN, the GEOMETRY and Indicator Momentum Remember for it to be a GARTLEY - Price can't exceed the X level at all Let the market take you into trades, don't buy at the market as that is guessing and hoping STOPS? - Well If you're right on the level and the price bar the market isn't going to go below the low of that bar, so 1 penny below the low of the swing low bar which is most likely going to be the entry bar as well The vast majority of the above was learnt back in 2009/10 from Dynamic Traders Robert Miner and can be found his his book High Probability Trading Methods Remember IF the level is significant then price IS going to bounce from it THT

IG have this on their site - only just noticed looks like it went up there last year Forget all the **** in the news and online - If you've read my thread, you'll notice I mention some of these in it, you'll also notice that I refer to a Gann Secondary Reaction - the Gann Secondary Reaction is in most of the patterns shown in the link below - either shown as A-B or B-C depending on the method These patterns allow you to WIN in this game, big - every night when i run through my charts I'm looking for these patterns forming, I also have a software program that scans for Gann Secondary reactions, as you can see they are the STARTING bit should these patterns form https://www.ig.com/uk/trading-strategies/top-7-harmonic-patterns-every-trader-should-know-210608 This chart is SSLN which is a Silver ETF I use to trade inside my ISA and SIPP accounts - I originally got in at the low bar at #A - Yes its possible to buy those lows - I got out a little before #B for a 10% profit in 9 trading days I'm now back in on the inside bar 1 day ago to test another rally - It might not work - what I can tell you is both the trade at #A and the one at swing #C are BOTH Gann Secondary reactions which are the foundations of those Harmonic GEOMETRIC patterns IG show - they don't always form perfectly but when they do they work lovely for big profits

Following on from with the NETW chart above showing the Gartley: Its VITAL for you to take the geometry 1 step further - you can wing it without, but to really nail things down, it would be prudent to understand and KNOW geometrical relationships I've worked out all the geometrical relationships for all the ratios So for example If a market retraces to a 61.8% level and a ABCD is working out, its highly probable that the CD leg will reach 161.8% of the AB leg from C - that's because 1.618 and 61.8% are linked intrinsically - 61.8% is the INVERSE of 161.8% Take the NETW chart: Price retraced to exactly 50% level - this is NOT a Fib number its ratio related to the SQUARE - from the chart below have a stab in the dark of the number % that 50% is the Inverse of.............................................. That's right 200% - Once you know these ratios, you no longer have to scratch your head wondering why a market does things at certain levels Look how the market reacted once it balanced the prior main retracement of 50% at the 200% level - obviously important! Thought these markets were meant to be random????????????????????????????????????? The expectation would be a rally upwards from that zone THT

So how do we make money from all these geometrical ratios? Well if you look for absolute perfection, you'll never make any money as you'll have far too many lines on your chart - you can use perfection ratio's in hindsight for confirmation etc If you follow HM Gartley and all the others that followed his methods then you can simplify things - please bear in mind that a market can work to the following simplified ratios: AB to CD swing ratio projections : 0.5 / 0.618 / 0.786 / 1 / 1.272 / 1.618 / 2 / 2.236 / 2.618 and 3.14 Internal Retracements: 0.382 / 0.5 / 0.618 / 0.786 and 0.886 External Projections of the BC swing: 1.272 / 1.618 / 2 / 2.236 / 2.618 and 3.14 I really really encourage you to investigate this further from authoritative sources such as Larry Pesavento On the chart below - focus ONLY on the BLUE swing line and until the very end IGNORE the 57.7% Orange Retracement ratio line What I am going to show you happens LOTS and Lots and Lots! - on the differing ratios listed above In this example I'm showing you a BEARISH GARTLEY ABCD on an INTERMEDIATE swing timeframe - the perfect ABCD have 1:1 relationship so swing CD = the length of swing AB - in the example below that isn't the case, BUT it still worked because it all linked on the GEOMETRY! OK swing (A) to (B) retraced just short of the 78.6% level of the 0 to (A) decline at which point it reversed - a cheeky short at the 61.8% or 50% level would have brought you profits Swing (A)-(B) retraced between 50-61.8% at (C) within this, price retraced the minor a-b swing a smidge past the 78.6% retracement level - IF (and it was) price was bullish this this zone could be significant in stopping the price fall I won't go into the buy here, but you can buy at or around (C) zone - because as you're looking for a ABCD swing, we can trade the Internal swings it creates or just look for a trade at point (D) - up to you as a trader So to calculate the (D) level zone: As this a GARTLEY we're looking for then (D) HAS to be below point 0 - so below the blue swing high to the left of this chart We still have the 78.6% and 88.6% retracement levels of that swing on the chart in blue You would take a projection of swing (A) to (B) and project it from (C) - as you can see this gave 2 price extensions of 61.8% and 78.6% in PINK You'd also take an External projection of the (B) to (C) retracement swing and that gave a 127.2% level right in that zone where other key geometric levels landed - green line Lo and behold price reversed right in this zone as expected - IF price had exceeded point 0 then the whole trade would have been off and invalidated Now within that chart on the green and red swing file lines there's also other geometrical patterns including a ABCD - If you lokk at the swing low # (A) up to the Nov 5th swing high (not labelled) that was a ABCD (CD = 2.236 times the AB swing) AND right up into a61.8% retracement level of the 0-(A) decline! 2 confirming geometrical ratios around the same same and the market stalled! Look again at 0-(A) decline - that's a ABCD right there too! - the market is BUILT out of these ABCD's!!!!!!!!!! Remember folks - the "Experts" tell you, you can't buy bottoms or sell tops - Oh yes you can On this very chart right now - the market is INCH UK stock - Its heading down into KEY resistance - see bottom chart for details For the purist's out there we can see that price stopped 0.18p lower than the 57.7% retracement level of (A) to (B) swing = related to the CUBE and the Square root of 3 Not shown on the chart is the 150% external projection of the (B) to (C) swing - it goes right through the SELL word and (D) - price didn't reach it exactly, but it was not far away from it! Briefly - there's an ABCD- right near the 78.6% retracement level = BUY You could have sold a #B in anticipation of a 1:1 ABCD swing On the chart the boxes are from my software - as price has taken out the prior swing low (our old (C) in the chart example above) this is NOT a gartley trade, its now classified as a Butterfly - which has differing ratio parameters Butterfly: Gartley: THT

OK so we KNOW that the markets work to geometrical ratio's, those ratio's are key integral ratios of geometrical shapes - Again in the 1930's there was a trader named HM Gartley (another trader from the 1930's!!!!!!) - Gartley identified lots of patterns using swing files of the market and published them - I would encourage you to explore his works and those works of people who have copied his methods and updated them for this generation of readers All I've wanted to show you is that the markets are NOT doing what all the "expert" commentators are spouting on about - the markets work out to geometrical ratios as it BUILDS (expands) or contracts the geometrical shape its building in higher dimensions In the chart below: Look at how PRECISE the SP500 Index stopped on levels this past week - when turns occur within 0-2 points of ideal perfection its as good as perfection/ideal! If you get/look at the Gartley patterns then you be on your way to seeing the market differently and precisely - its not perfect or exact but that work will give you a good grounding and knowledge as well as exceptional trading methods that often catch tops and bottoms THT

@u0362565 We'll not have a 2008 event for a long-time - there will be big plunges and 25% corrections along the way, they are a given along with a couple of bear market periods - but the ultra long term trend is upwards until the cycle ends in the mid 2030's The market is pre-BUILT - Its working through geometrical ratios - once its hit a key level it will reverse trend - the only problem as traders is we don't know exactly the geometrical shapes the market moves to all the time - I know this is hard to understand and visualise - as it works out and through its next move, trading opps will show up The reason the SP500 has crashed is it hit 1.902% which meant it reached to within 1 point the diagonal of a golden rectangle - once price reaches the geometrical shape its building it turns - I think what will happen is people will attach the reasoning of earnings season to it, but its always after the fact, like generic economic reasoning Yeah the key is working out what type of market you're in fast and when the trend changes, what worked prior, no longer works - the other key is staying solvent long enough to pick up the trades once the prior trend comes back into play as well as trading other markets I wrote a piece the other month on selling the "hooks" - the FTSE100 Index just provided that very short trade opportunity today If unsure, just stay out of the market in cash until things become a bit more clearer - a gann secondary reaction is a indicator to the start of a possible new rally, if that happens at a key retracement level of a bigger move then it could be significant THT

Okay, If you've followed the thread, you'll know I've made some wild (but reasonable) claims about the markets and specifically what they are doing unbeknown to 99.9% of people out there Here's another one: First some history as you might not be aware of this I'm pretty sure in the posts above I published how the SP500 hit 666.79 at the March 2009 LOW from a calculation based on the Square root of 5 expansion series, this is a ratio of 2.236 Pythagoras - do some research on him, learn where he learned - then look to see what he's showing in the picture below - he's telling people without actually telling them - look at the geometrical symbols, music references etc This is a Canon of Proportion showing some of the main key geometrical ratios - take 10 mins to study it and think - The vast majority of traders just look at Fibonacci, we can see its there forming geometrical ratios both in excess of a whole 1 and also below 1 - but other ratios exist in the divine growth and contraction of things and this applies to the markets too! This is the WEEKLY SP500 Index: The week ending 7th January 2022, the SP500 possibly topped out, the ascent from March 2020 is absolutely impossible for the market to maintain forever - the Gann angle is also way too steep to maintain ongoing without a decent break/pause Talking of our man WD GANN he said over 100 years ago "When Price and Time EXCEED the price and/or time of any prior correction in a trend, then watch for a potential change of trend" - that has now happened on the PRICE side (from March 2020) On the chart below the key aspect is the price projection level of (A) - (B) from (A) @ (C) = 1.902 or 190.2% In the sacred canon of proportion above is that ratio there? What is 1.902 a ratio of? Well its the DIAGONAL of a Golden Rectangle So from (A) to (C) the market has traversed a golden rectangle - again a trader with knowledge of Sacred Geometrical ratios could have had that precise level (among lots of others) on their charts from Feb/March 2020! Look how close the market came to that level! That sort of accuracy tells you its [the market] non-random What next for the market? That depends on the next geometrical section its forming - The key will be to see what retracement ratio level stops the fall - in the chart above I've just shown Key levels, price might stop on a hidden level that exists For those Interested get a DAILY chart of the SP500 and look to see what retracement ratio level stopped the price rally/correction in Jan 2022 to within points Permission is not granted to copy or replicate this post THT

Oh it'll retrace at some point - If you look at my Time Cycle thread, there's a date for 2022 shown - I'd be on high alert around that date for increased volatility which may or may not lead to anything Yeah I short markets, but only if its clear that there's NO bullish uptrend - So in a sideways range I'll short double/triple tops etc - If there's a series of lower lows and lower highs I'll short too but I'm always aware of possible support levels where things "might" change The recent action of GBPUSD offered shorts down into the support area where it has now turned upwards The exception to this is if I have a Time Cycle date - I'll have shorts prepared as if you look at the 2020 Feb plunge, it happened quick and fast "out of the Blue" Yeah the currency and commodity markets offer far better shorting opps as they "spike" more over the weeks and months THT

Yep - If you scroll up to the post I made on Friday 7th Jan - https://community.ig.com/forums/topic/10953-tht-market-education-how-to-win/?do=findComment&comment=82988 You'll see the geometrical levels - As well as the other confirming evidence - If you traded this as a DAILY trade you're most likely out, If you traded it based on the WEEKLY chart then you should be still in the position When multiple geometrical levels are at the same price value it adds weight - BUT it's NOT the be all and end all - as the market can completely disrespect levels, so we never now for certain if a level will hold or not For the GBPUSD there were multiple confirming factors all in place shouting that the probability of a turn upwards was very highly probable THT

I wasn't going to post this, but decided to as it has a multitude of learning aspects to it GBPUSD Start from the WEEKLY charts - top down approach - IGNORE the news and any fuzzymentals being reported the Info on the WEEKLY chart above is enough to get excited - the WEEKLY Timing chart below also helps out Now from a timing aspect, this is VERY crude - but for this example its close enough - this out of Gann's books/courses BUT it Isn't exact (In typical Gann style he "failed" to mention in plain English how to time things to the day (he hid the information) - You'll just have to take my word that there was 3 proper Gann timing dates that fell on that swing low point of Dec 2021 Now WD Gann in his courses told us to take a swing, count the days/weeks/months and project forward in time to get the next cycle dates - As stated above, Gann didn't tell us the whole truth, but it can be, as in this case "close enough" - As a warning I would NOT trade off static cycles like this - use them as a very rough guide only Now you can SEE from the April 2018 HIGH to the March 2020 LOW - I've simply projected forward in time various %'s of that Time Range which have in a crude way been pretty close to swing turns - the 1 simply = 100% or like for like timing - for this purpose back in March 2020 we could have projected forward all these future dates and watched as the market neared them - the next and main one is the 100% like for like Time count so traders should be alert from the 18th Feb 2022 for a potential turn point - as it happens proper Gann timing has some very very close dates to the 18th, which should see a turn in the market within 2-3 weeks at most from the 18th! Now - from the June 2021 HIGH - based on WEEKLY swings, GBPUSD has made a series of lower highs and lower lows, this is a confirmed down trend / bear market and should not be ignored It's just bounced off 3 differing major retracement levels on the WEEKLY time-frame AND until the current swing EXCEEDS any of the swings UP that have formed the downtrend from the June '21 High, the trend assumption is still BEARISH - when a corrective swing EXCEEDS prior corrective swings it overbalances and as such is a heads up to a possible change of trend or price action - This does NOT mean a reversal, the GEOMETRY has possibly changed, and depending on what the market is working to, could be a reversal, a stalling etc - this is vital to understand I don't care what the fundamentals or news wires are saying - those geometry retracement levels on the weekly chart shouted out that the level was likely to be important and it proved it was - these levels could have been projected by a trader from the June '21 high!!!!!!!!!!!!! this might be "it" or the market could go lower - if the geometrical retracements levels low than this level "build" the geometrical structure that the GBPUSD is forming, then the market will head to those levels, regardless of news etc - so as a trader it would be prudent to work out what those potential levels are For the purposes of this post - I'm just showing you the real reason that the GBPUSD bounced in Dec '21 to present OK, We've seen that WEEKLY retracements levels are Important, in the grand scheme of things they are more Important and carry more "weight" than the Daily levels Remember the markets are fractals - fractals can only exist if strict GEOMETRY exists and binds - this happens on 1 minute charts right through to yearly charts, the Image below shows this perfectly - take 2 mins to study the arms/points, you should be able to see the growth and expansion from the smaller pentagram to the next larger pentagram THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THE USA STOCK MARKETS ARE GROWING/DECLINING Off on a related Tangent! - If you take each point of the pentagram that you can see, starting with the 0 you move around the circle in 72 degree aspects - The 1974 LOW and the 2009 LOW were separated by 144 degrees in TIME if you know what to use as the Timing source - The recent February 2020 plunge hit 36 degrees which is the inner angle of the pentagram - I could go on - EVERY and I mean EVERY major high and low of the US stock market since it was born in 1792 has landed right on a Pentagram point in TIME So moving down onto a DAILY chart of GBPUSD Info on the charts This is the daily chart of GBPUSD showing Daily price action and the retracement level of the entire up trend - sat perfectly on the 38.2% ret level for a bounce without the swings shown with the swings shown Here's the SP500 Index showing the Indicator certainty which coincided at a previous 50% level on that market - this anomaly in the Indicator happens at least once per year per market on daily time-frames Permission is NOT granted to share or reproduce this post or its content Happy and profitable trading THT

Yeah that chart was shown on purpose - As markets are not random and they move to geometrical levels, other levels are prevalent so just as the 50% is a nice easy level to find, other levels also exist lower and those levels if they work as per a 50% level, offer more £'s and R's return Sometimes the geometry levels don't work out The key thing to remember is if a Swing low point holds and the market is active (not flat) - the markets heading upwards which will mean it will rip through all the technical geometry levels of a swing as it works out its next swing geometry etc Take that GBPUSD last chart - the low in Dec 2021 @ 88.6% is a geometry level related to the golden mean - you could have set an entry there with a stop under the swing low you were basing the retracement off in early Dec or you could have set an alarm, waiting for the 88.6% level to be hit in the same manner as we do for a 50% level and then placed a buy order Depending on how the position was managed for a risk of 25-50 pips for a 200-400 pip return or 8+R THT

@u0362565 They happen and show up exactly the same - ANY market, ANY Time-frame GBPUSD

On the performance of the 50% - you're being spoilt by solely using it on the SP500 I've always said if a method works, it will work on ALL liquid markets and ALL time-frames Have a look at it on another liquid market, forex, stock, commodity etc You can make an absolute fortune just from trading the 50% over multiple markets/time-frames All you have to do is get a swing file on the chart and visually look at all the swings throughout the year - the confidence comes from seeing the patterns 10,000's of times over the years and knowing that the markets are not random and by that fact and the fact that they work out to geometry - there will ALWAYS be 50%'s - ALWAYS forever and ever If it breaks down on one market it will be present on many others On the buy and hold comment: If you go to my Time Cycle thread - I show the 16-19 year cycle - this cycle creates a UP/DOWN (Sideways) market direction sequence, also in the thread there's a couple of comments about "there's no certainties in the markets", well the sequence IS one of the very few certainties in the markets! - anyway - the last UP sequence started end 2016 and should produce 1000-2000% in total + divs for the 16-19 years that the cycle will last from 2016 If you look at the last 2 UP cycles (1949-1966 and 1982-2000) there both produced 1000% growth - so I expect the same - then during the down cycle that will follow the UP cycle at some point 50% of those gains will be wiped out as the markets crashes 50% (again this is ANOTHER certainty in the SP500) For Investors of late, those who bought the 2009 low timed things to perfection and it proved to be the best point to buy - usually/often during the DOWN cycle 16-19 yr phase the last 3 years end in a bear market, that didn't happen this time around - so we'll have a huge number of Investors who think they are Investing gods just from buying and holding who'll be singing into the 2030's Once the market has "built" this next stage in the cube, it'll top out and crash- "catching out" 99.9% of people out there - this is going to be very Interesting as the next DOWN cycle is expected to be the TOP of the current cube and also at the same time it'll be the BOTTOM of the next expanding cube Trackers during this period will also do well as they track the market upwards and downwards at which they'll not do too well, handing back profits or losing During this next UP cycle we'll have good trending markets but also sideways periods too THT

Agree with most of the above - I remember being with a major UK fund m,anagement group on D-Day October 2008 as the FTSE100 Imploded (as a guest at a conference they organised) - Did not have a clue what had/was happening and were totally clueless as to the bottom of the market That day changed my life - I began researching the markets for myself, so agree with you totally on the experts not knowing what's going on

Price Inflation can be monitored in a rough sense from the "Soft" Commodity sectors - these sectors typically work in unison with energy especially household energies I published the following in the Time Cycles thread - the sequence in price can, does and HAS Inverted, HOWEVER, the sequence in TIME - NEVER Inverts or alters! By BEING on the RIGHT side of the expected action you can WIN The SEQUENCE is there right in the post for you to see, bank for the future etc etc etc https://community.ig.com/forums/topic/13746-time-cycles/?do=findComment&comment=73143 From the SEQUENCE you should be able to work out the year the TOP/HIGH is expected, what should happen after the high/top and until WHEN and so on THT

As I'm reviewing trades for the year, thought I'd show you part of my THT Precision Sacred Geometry trade method You've already had multiple previews in some of the posts above, here's a recent on I took inside my SIPP and ISA accounts FTSE100 Index: Right hand side of the chart - fro the BLUE A Might be good to refer back to my CIRCLES post I showed on the FTSE100 and notice WHEN and WHERE swing high A topped out!!!!!!! REMEMEBER - EVERYTHING in the markets works out to geometry - Triangles, Squares, Circles, Cubes, Squares joined together etc - you can lean about this in Robert Lawlors Sacred Geometry book So from the TOP at A, Run a retracement from A to swing low 1 = price rallies just past 52% to form swing high 2 - this retracement could cause you confusion as it stops at the 50% and the 52.6% levels sloppily (not precise), if it had stopped precisely on 1 of the ratios it would have given you the heads up as to what geometry the swing was working to, so at this point its created a THT Sell the Hook method detailed in a post above and it also allows you to project ratio levels to see if anything more precise occurs All this can be done once price goes below swing low #1: We want to see if there's any geometry that syncs up - the geometry of A,1 and 2 is either GEOMETRIC (Fibonacci) or HARMONIC (The Square) swing low 3 up to swing A will produce many levels of BOTH geometries, so we then run a projection of A-1 from either swing high 2 or swing high A - this produces many projections but the only 2 that are so close are on the chart at swing low 3 - BOTH the retracement of 70.7% and the 200% projection are from the HARMONIC geometry Remember NO price is printed on the chart when the above projections were made So we had 2 different geometrical ratios/projections of the same geometric group landing on a price of 6996, When this happens it is fine to set a buy order at 6998 with a 15 point stop (daily charts) or an alarm at the price level and wait for a penetration through it and then buy if it rallies back up through the price level with an even tighter stop Remember WD Gann said "When price and time balance/square, price will reverse" As long as you have multiple confirming signals then trading this precise is fine The ensuing rally did as it should from the levels and just failed to exceed swing high A - then price fell down into C - which again was halted by the 70.7% retracement level which is related to the Square, so #3,#B, #C were printing price in accordance to the square and its harmonics - you get the picture From a TIMING perspective - Run a timing projection of the swing #A to 3 and project it from #B - 70.7% of that time period lands smack bang on 20th Dec which price formed swing low #C at the 70.7% price retracement level! When everything syncs and squares its beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You CAN'T do the above on every swing, but you CAN do it on enough throughout the year to A) Predict the market very precisely at times and B) to make extremely high R profits As you can SEE - the markets aren't moving randomly as lots of books tell you, there's an order I won't show anymore of this going forward as it can be confusing to some, If you are interested then seek out those traders who use geometry, namely Fibonacci and Elliott Wave traders and then you MUST expand on their work as just trading Fib levels won't cut it, Elliott Wave traders will give you a GROUNDING only, but you must remember the big Elliott Wavers out there have been calling for a major top/high in the market since 1986!!!!!!!!! It's never come and its won't - but they can give you a decent grounding in Fibonacci ratio work, but its only a grounding Thanks for reading and wishing you all the best for 2022 THT

Thanks - SP500 and FTSE100 just gave another 50%! I know what you mean about bank rates - you will definitely beat the bank if you employ the method strictly - Its got triple digit returns all over it per year if used correctly and I know that from 1st hand experience Yeah its a shame I'm the only one on here helping others, I would have gone further and published up coming trades as proof of concept, but when I joined the forum it had a resident idiot who thought they knew it all and tried to challenge everything you wrote, so I decided not to publish too much - Its one of the reasons I've never officially published anything, I couldn't think of anything more soul destroying than dealing with the 1% of the public who are plain stupid and idiotic - even before I posted my 1st post on here I made a pact with myself that if the forum had 1 of those people then I wouldn't be posting anything to helpful All the best for 2022

Hope your trading in 2021 was profitable I'm signing off for the year now and next year I'm probably pulling back from posting quite significantly If you've read the thread right through, you will have seen how the thread has gone from simple to gradually more complicated - The main purpose of this is to show you you can trade and win from average normal methods, but I also wanted to bring to your attention that the markets are NOT random, they conform and comply to geometrical moves which can be measured using maths and sacred geometry Often and sometimes that maths might not seem to make sense until after moves - which can be frustrating as a trader looking for clues as to the next move of the market! I've mentioned in previous posts that the stock market SP500 Index is building a CUBE on the biggest of all stages and within that on the smaller moves we'll see other geometric structures such as the triangle and square forming During the 2000-2009 period I previously showed how using Pythagoras's Theorem using BOTH TIME and PRICE the market showed Fibonacci ratios In the chart below I've highlighted the 1st major correction to the bear market - as you can see the retracement level retraced right up to the 57.7% level The 57.7% level in Sacred Geometry is a ratio of the CUBE and is the Reciprocal of the square root of 3/cube (1.732) When a market stops within a point or two of exactness its Important Notice the TOTAL % decline that the SP500 made from the Oct 2007 high to the bear market low of March 2009 - THIS IS NOT BY CHANCE!!!!!!!!! The hint of the CUBE was there in may 2008 - It IS perfectly acceptable for price retracement levels to be seen as % moves by the market - If it were simple to analyse the markets everyone could do it and make a shed load of cash In the chart below I've run projections of the High to 1 decline But I've NOT projected from the swing high #2 - I've projected it from the start of the bear market and high of Oct 2007 Notice that the market stopped dead on the 261.8% Fib Geometric projection within 1 point! and the total bear market stopped within a range of the 282.8% projection - This is a harmonic sacred geometry ratio and its an expansion of the SQUARE - If you take the harmonics of the SQUARE and multiple by 1.414 (the diagonal of the square you get - 1, 1.414, 2, 2.82.8 etc etc Then I've run a projection from the high to swing high #2 projected from swing high #2 and you get projection 500% (5) Which was within 2 points of the March 2009 crash LOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just take a minute to think through the accuracy of all of this The number 5 in Sacred Geometry is related to the diagonal of 2 adjoining SQUARES (this is 2.236 and is the square root of 5 )- the expanding ratios go - 1, 2.236,5 etc etc A trader with a good knowledge of what the markets are actually doing, knowledge of sacred geometry ratios and knowledge of Time Cycles could have nailed the 2009 crash not only to the actual day, but to within 2 points of the low I hope you can see from this and previous posts how the markets work to mathematics and not a randomness Safe trading for 2022 Have a great Xmas and New Year THT

The following post - you DO NOT need to know this stuff to be able to trade and win Its for those traders with a mind-set like mine that need to know why and how a market is printing swings You know that sometimes a markets movements just do not make logical sense, hopefully this will help clarify and explain a little Markets are printing multi-dimensional bars in a dimension controlled by PRICE and TIME and forcing it onto a static 2 Dimensional format - this very fact often "SKEWS" the way a chart looks - i.e. you notice Triangles/Arches forming on a price chart that is classified as a sideways box/rectangle/range etc, but the time counts from low to low or high to high aren't equal - this is because in the dimension of price and time they are equal but forcing them to print onto a lower dimensional format (2 D static price chart) it forces the swings high/low points to "twist" - for an example of this look at the chart below and notice the "M", notice the 1st swing up and down that creates a "A" its twisted anti-clockwise, then notice the 2nd "A" to the most recent swing low, its twisted clockwise towards us Everything in our world works off the basis of fundamental laws of mathematics - the device you are reading this post on is built from all those laws and your development as a human being is governed by them In the markets price action and time work off the following group ratios: GEOMETRIC - Fibonacci HARMONIC - The Square Square Root of 3 - The Cube ARITHMATIC - Simple division of whole numbers Square Root of 5 - 2 adjoining squares Markets grow and contract to those ratios according to what geometrical solid they are building at any given time These geometric shapes evolve over time and there will be a dominate feature per financial market as the buying and selling action repeats - we can't see these shapes unless price action is nearly square on to our field of view on the screen/chart - most of the time our field of view is skewed from square on, so you have to look at the maths to "see" TIME governs EVERYTHING - you will find that when time and price balance things evolve to the next stage - i.e. the period 1966-1982 in the stock market signalled the END of the UP trend from 1949 and the 16-19 year cycle - it start a new 16-19 year cycle deflationary and this turned out to be both the TOP of the 1899-1966 Cube that the market had built and the START of the next cube - these take 67-71 years to form - this is why you can predict time cycles (Refer to my Time Cycle thread for evidence of the cycles) - Re price action, its at these extremes of time limits that markets REPEAT, prove it to yourself, get a chart of the Nasdaq100 from 1994 onwards and compare it to the Dow from 1924 - 70 years - I can confirm that the cause of the TIME aspect is calculated using exact mathematics - so as a rough rule of thumb in 67-71 years time from the year 2000, we will have another spectacular mega stock market crash of similar proportions that will fall to a level of circa 80% of the all time high at the time So basically the markets are expanding and contracting according to the laws of mathematics that involve the square, triangle, cube and other geometric solids When building a geometric solid, the maths often involves a combination of ALL the groups - this is WHY if you're just using say Fibonacci ratios to track retracements and expansions sometimes the market hits it spot on and other times its "off" Here's a chart of the GOLD market to today: I've marked off swings and if they have conformed to a ratio of significance I've labelled it by the grouping it belongs to As you can see on the most recent DOWN swing of the market, its been conforming to HARMONIC price ratio relationships At the most recent Swing LOW its changed to GEOMETRIC - we'd expect the upswing to conform to geometric ratios until it runs out and alters In the UPTREND from (A) - most of the "mini" swings conformed to a specific grouping of ratios The BLUE swing line is a higher degree swing (WEEKLY) and you will find that all those swings are also doing similar thing to the smaller swings, BUT the geometric structure they are building might be different to the smaller swings etc I'm afraid to inform you that sometimes swings can't be attributed to any grouping ratio! This is WHY it is Impossible to be able to predict price action exactly 100% of the time From a VERY basic trading level, look at swing low (B) - there would have been lots of stops placed there, hence the stop run/wash'n'rinse Price then rallied and stopped dead at a geometric ratio of the blue swing down which ALSO coincided with a prior harmonic retracement ratio AND a swing high from the prior main BLUE upswing that forced the market down into the swing low at (B) Notice the 50% level wasn't touched - If you're NOT aware of the other internal ratios you'd simply say price stopped at the 50% level, BUT IT DIDN'T You can have all these ratios on your chart prior in advance and see if the market conforms to your thinking, if it doesn't you don't trade, if it does and multiple ratios appear at the same level then its a ultra high probability trading opportunity
