  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. Hi The main thing is the geometric figure shown - the number sequence isn't too important, but it shows maths is at play too - some turning points are triggered by hitting a 90 degree point on the circle which would then go on to create a square within the circle - 120 degree points form a Triangle - 72 degrees creates a pentagram The absolutely critical factor in all of this is the item used to calculate TIME from, without it is a pointless exercise, but when you have it everything falls into place Based on the maths of the universe - we know that growth happens through Triangles, Squares and cubes - within each of these you have differing "means" to which you can calculate the maths Geometric = Fibonacci related growth/contraction (The Pentagram is riddled with Fib ratios) Harmonic = Related to the SQUARE (Square root of 2) Arithmetic = Related to the CUBE (Square root of 3) Square Root 5 = Related to the GOLDEN RECTANGLE AND the diagonal of 2 adjoining Squares (when you place circles around these squares you get the symbol of Vesica Piscis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rectangle I posted in the How to Win thread the following chart: Starting from the left hand side the corrections in the down trend corrected to the 0.666 (66.6%) levels - this in the table above shows the market was correcting to a ARITHMETIC contraction pattern, it then expanded on the same pattern basis - until it topped out at the 173.2% level which again is ARITHMATIC in nature - the correction from the top fell to exactly the 57.7%* retracement level which is ARITHMATIC again Now the market works through all the means and sometimes jumbles them together - but traders looking for the old Fibonacci ratios were completely blindsided during that market segment This is basically what the market BUILT during that period of time - its not to scale and its not a perfect cube as the markets move to a higher dimension than we view on a 2 Dimensional chart - If we were able to see the dimension of combined price and time square on to our field of view then it would have all come together exactly and perfectly in proportion In the chart above if you look at the bottom right of the SQUARE that forms the 1st face of the cube and from where the trendline starts from - look at the triangle formation that is visible Its skewed on our field of view because it HAD to do that to form the cube on a 2 D chart - the formation is what WD Gann said in 1909 only a couple of times as being a "Cornerstone" It was the building block that formed the cube Now I know how far fetched this next statement sounds and I'm continually trying to disprove it, but I can't - The markets seem to KNOW years and decades in advance what they have to move to, to get from point A to B etc regardless of everything else * From 2008 to the LOW in 2009 the market fell 57.7% EXACTLY (Well 57.69%! but its nearly EXACT) - this was NOT by accident - the big trend needed to correct and it fell to an ARITHMATIC retracement level of the all time high Remember the LOW 2009 was 144 degrees apart from the 1974 low in time - a full expansion of the Pentagram arm - this is half of a golden triangle and Ganns square of 12 (144) - knowledge of all the likely retracement levels could of had someone ready to pounce right near the actual turn point! Not me as I only learned this stuff in 2012!
  6. Morning I've mentioned elsewhere that Sacred Geometry controls the markets - I've shown markets stopping and reversing dead on sacred geometry points based on the GEOMETRIC, HARMONIC and ARITHMATIC ratios of sacred geometric solids This is the basis of TIME that the markets work to - Take the PINK line of Feb 2020 in the charts above People think that was a crash out of the blue caused by Covid - I had Feb/Mar on my charts long before Covid was a thing - the Feb 2020 date was when something arrived at the inner pentagram angle of 36 degrees - see the chart below produced that chart way back in 2017 some 3 years before the "event" This usually the point where someone says " You predicted covid?" - NO, a possible highly volatile market turning point
  7. OK - We've seen that the markets aren't doing what most people think they are doing - I just wanted to show you a glimpse (there's more!) into what the markets do - this is why sometimes they defy logic - the "news/experts" say one thing and then the markets go on to do another thing "out of the blue" - All that is happening is the market is working out to its geometrical growth/contraction sequence and once that is completed, it will reverse/change to the next sequence - us humans try to pin "reasons" and logic onto markets to explain, which is why if you listened to those news channels and experts your money would soon disappear! One way to challenge people who swear they are great stock pickers is to get them to show you how its done over 10 years on either the Forex or Commodity markets, because they work totally different to the stock market, in the stock market ALL you have to do is Invest and leave it long enough and you are guaranteed to make money - the key there is leaving it long enough That does not mean you can't beat the market(s) though! Here's an ultra simple method - works on EVERY time-frame and EVERY freely traded liquid market You can make this as complicated as you wish, but here's the stripped down raw method: ~ THT BEARISH HOOK This is basically a bearish Gann Secondary Reaction - you DO NOT need any Indicators for this method Market trades down, then UP for 1-3 bars - After bar 3 UP the market needs to drop or the trade is ignored Sell at the LOW of the swing low point prior to the 1-3 bar hook upwards Stop could be: at the high of the swing high UP point at the 50%/61.8% level of the range of the swing UP Trailing stop using a 2 bar high method That simple - as you can see it works great during bearish trends/periods Alternative considerations are below the chart Chart is the DAILY EURUSD Forex Pairing Here's a few idea's: the 2 trades above offered about 500 pips in total - even getting 250 pips from both trades was worth while You could trade the 50% level if touched (often the 50% isn't met though (I've shown 2 on the chart that were valid) You could add a moving average and trade that level and or use as a trailing stop As you can see within the trend of the market there were "mini" hooks within the main hook trade - these are not picked up by the swing file as the hook was not significant for it to be picked up by the software, but you could have pyramided all the same on these mini-hooks within the main hook! The 2RSI was in this instance useless, however, The DTSTOCH was useful - This is a triple smoothed Stochastic - you could have used the DTSTOCH to filter the market as to when it was bearish etc If you look at the chart for trades 1 and 2 the DTSTOCH was bearish both times - for the final hook, the DTSTOCH was bullish / flat which then turned out to be a bullish divergence signal which then turned bullish So the DTSTOCH was warning on the final hook trade that the momentum was waning - this is an excellent use of an Indicator The DTSTOCH was also flat in the middle to end of the 1st trade - which pre-warned of the loss of momentum etc - then you just let your trailing stop do the work of getting you out of the market (not the Indicator) as you can often eek out more £'s from the trailing stop than the Indicators! Taking it a stage further, you could have dropped down timeframes and used the DAILY Indicator as a guide to possible Intra-day price action direction and traded up or downwards according to the direction of the DTSTOCH THT
  8. You know all those mysterious numbers in the bible, which to the layman are complete gobbledygook, well lets have a gander at just one of them The number of the BEAST 666 First we need to explain the maths involved: We KNOW that the Great Pyramid in Egypt shows ALL known mathematics - it also tells you the radius of the Earth and the Moon - ALL of the ratio's and angles found in/on the Pyramids also show up in the worlds financial markets - I've shown a couple on my "How to Win" thread Here's one for a TIMING solution: The MOON's Radius is 1080 miles (https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/moonfact.html) (You'll need to convert KM's to Miles, but trust me I'm right) the Great Pyramid shows the mathematical relationship of the Earth to the Moon etc We KNOW the Fibonacci ratio Phi is 1.618 - go ahead and DIVIDE 1080 by 1.618 = 666/667 depending on how many decimal places you are using So we have a figure of 666 / 667 - How does this relate to the markets? Well on the SP500 Index an active Time Cycle is a 666 week Time Cycle Below is the WEEKLY chart of the SP500 Index - ignore everything on the chart apart from the PINK vertical lines (I just hijacked this chart to overlay the pink 666 week cycle over rather than start a fresh) this is the period it landed on last time around - not a massively correction but for those of us who knew it was due it allowed us to short the market and then re BUY once it was clear the correction had stopped To get the next approx. cycle date just add 12.8 years or 666 weeks to the 2013 date and there you go you'll have a zone where the market will either form a high or a low from which you can profit from - the EXACT date to keep in your diaries is the 15th November 2026 The 666 week cycle isn't a static cycle it is calculated using other things for greater accuracy accuracy, although it didn't really crash, it corrected EXACTLY to the day in late MAY 2013 - when you get other Time Cycles arriving at the same time as the 666 Time Cycle you get greater turns such as 1974, 1987 and 2000, when the cycle arrives on its tod then you get turns like May 2013 The cycle dates I've published are approx. based on a static 666 week cycle - you'll get close enough with that If you reverse the dates back into history you will see that this happens far too often just be coincidence - all this a fantastic timing system based on Phi of the radius of the MOON! Re the 1st chart in this post the RED vertical lines are a STATIC 4 year cycle - the dates get skewed as time goes by but this is basically a 4 year static cycle that forms in Sept/Oct that the 4 year cycle is due in - its not 100% as you can see but during ones Investment life it gives good results just buying the market in Sept/Oct every 4 years! THT
  9. Something for you for the weekend: This is what the SP500 Index was working out to over the past couple of months For those wishing to expand more - Refer to works on SACRED GEOMETRY and GEOMETRICAL SOLIDS The chart below showing the correction worked out to ARITHMETIC ratios of whole numbers Basic simple arithmetic ratios ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS of financial markets - they LINK everything together This isn't exact but it gives you an idea of roughly what price action did All those Fib level traders have been scratching their heads as to why Fib levels have disappeared from the daily chart of the SP500 index Now going forward, the market is either going to contract or expand and depending on what the bigger geometrical shape the market is building/working to, we should see mathematics that confirm - to get to the next phase we might need some Fibonacci Growth/Contraction, we might need basic arithmetic levels, we might need a square relationship etc etc etc etc etc etc Whilst we are on geometrical shapes - the avatar I show since joining this community has always been one big clue Have a good weekend Permission is NOT granted to repeat, copy, duplicate or replicate this work anywhere THT
  10. Here's stock 3i in the UK The chart has been messy since the March 2020 bottom - after an initial rally its basically been sideways Aim of this post is to show you the MATHEMATICS and the PATTERN and when the 2 combine its SHOW TIME Most of the details on the chart The one thing I will say is on 23rd March 2020 you could have projected the precise PRICE AND TIME as shown on the last chart in this post using the adjusted price method Chart 0: What can you SEE? Chart 1: Well there's a 50% Chart 2: But BEFORE the 50% we had this......... PS the ENTRY would have been the 50% level OR the swing low of C As a side issue notice how price is going away from our field of vision and then at the X it starts coming towards us and then at E it reverses and heads away from us - this is the multi dimension nature of the markets and its WHY nothing is ever equal or static for long The price action looks like a ball bouncing Chart 3: If you entered at the swing low C you'd of got stopped, entering at the 50% worked depending on how you managed the position, if you got stopped then you had a 2nd attempt at the 50% or Gann Secondary Reaction to get in and long Chart 4: Taking a step back to the expanding triangle The Internal ratios of the moves worked out to arithmetic maths: The BLUE line is the result of the A-B range The RED line is the result of the B-C range and The GREEN line is the result of the C-D range These are simple EXTENSIONS greater than 100% of the move being measured Chart 5: Chart 6: As you can SEE - the price level we've talked about in the post was KNOWN about by the market some 19 months EARLIER before it was anywhere near the price level It would be prudent to refer to the CNX1 Expanding Triangle that I showed you months ago especially the ANGLE that the triangle is coming towards us - in this post its coming towards us fast and near on direct, in the CNX1 trade it wasn't so fierce As you can see markets don't do this all the time - BUT THEY DO, DO IT! - All you have to do is scan your tradeable markets for set-ups and trade when they appear - I don't like talking % returns but there's hundreds of % on the table each and every year, year after year available if you look for opportunities and only trade the high probability trades that show up THT
  11. If its going to work there's not too much faffing, it'll faff if the 50% level is not working - which is happening right now on GOLD On the daily chart a stop of 25 points for the SP500 is fine
  12. Entry is easy if price rallies up through the level you buy, couple of attempts is fine if you've got a tight stop, the payoff over time should be high Remember if you use multiple methods and they all result in losses at the same time the drawdown on account will be large, but the opposite is true if they all work too!
  13. FTSE100 too! If all you ever did was 50% levels you'd kill it Just got to be patient, people will tell you markets are random and don't repeat - just remember they DO repeat and they aren't random - the 50% level is just one of those things that does repeat and disproves those who believe in the randomness of markets Go back through the posts and retest the 50% level for the SP500 as in the charts in the post above there was a minor 50% level off the Impulse from the square low, but also there was a higher degree 50% level off the bigger picture which has resulted in mega R profits (which was the previous low of Oct) "Other Levels" are available too! LOL in the Interest of Impartiality You can make a fortune on the 50%, but you can also do just as well off of other levels too - You might not be bothered about this and it does add layers of complexity (and work!) to the analysis, not to mention many many hours of learning but by analysing the Internals of a move allows you to predict ending/starting points etc For example the Internals of the move UP and DOWN suggested the SP500 is/was working to a certain GEOMETRIC form - in the fall from the top, the NEAREST levels were a 50% level (not exact) and the BLUE level shown - which WAS EXACT! - Hence the bounce - The WHOLE UNIVERSE, our world AND HUMANS are built from the LAWS of GEOMETRY and that geometry uses MATHEMATICS that is within the Pyramids and all this shows up in the markets I'd bet that 99.9% of humans don't have a clue what the ratio 2.828 represents but its present in the markets for centuries - EVERTHING IS LINKED and it stopped dead the fall in the SP500 a few days ago The hard part is working out what type of geometry the markets are working out to as it alters - This is WHY at times FIB Levels work perfectly and then they suddenly "disappear" - those touting Fib levels either don't know or simply keep it simple to sell something This is NOT to say its possible to get a constant accurate working/count of the markets, because there's times when nothing makes sense as to what they are working out to and you have to just sit back and wait until it starts hitting geometry levels once again There was also timing for a LOW on the 6th Dec too - 1 one day error is perfectly acceptable - The TIMING you would not believe the cause if I told you, but it signals a HIGH around the 24th Dec - this may or may not come in - but it all fits in with the Santa Rally that often happens in Dec
  14. I referred to a current potential square forming on the SP500 Index in a previous post Details below: Take note - We're using GEOMETRY here and examples like this aren't always as clear cut as this - most of the time you have to use other geometrical means to work out what the market is doing and likely to do - again the post is to show you that the markets are not random and that they conform to geometrical properties, if you study sacred geometry and the key mathematical ratios for the Triangle, Square, Cube and Pentagram (I don't have it as my avatar for no reason!) you will discover the maths of the markets The below is a simple extraction of the Initial Impulse thrust/move to arrive at a top (Of which I've shown an example of for another section of the SP500 Index or Nasdaq100 - anyway same principle) Re TIME - Those that are Interested can see if they can find the simple link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_3
  15. I think I'll leave the Square subject as per the post on Gann squares previously showing how the Nasdaq100 has worked in conjunction with the expanding boxes/squares - that's a good enough example to work from Now onto Circles: Remember you will not see these often as the charts you look at are 2 dimensional and a circle operates in higher dimensions, but every now and then you can find and use them and unfortunately due to this you will not find exactness either, we have to be satisfied with "good fit" See below: ALL the charts in this post are of the FTSE100 Index DAILY charts So you take a Swing high to swing low - this forms the RADIUS of a circle - we then draw/create a circle using that swing vector As you can see in the chart (s) below its been pretty effective Notice as you go through the charts how the curves of the circle contains price action nicely In this first circle we can see it contained price pretty well apart form the spike down - notice how it contained the swing high though! Remember this circle could have been drawn at the swing high bar OK so this could be fudged and drawn to suit, the proof is if it happens often........................................ So in this chart I've kept the original circle along with its radius vector line and simply drawn another circle around the new radius vector line drawn from the new swing high to the swing low Price hit the arc of the circle and bounced Then we repeat the process swing high to swing low for the chart below Then again.........................Then again - this is up to date now, so we need to watch and see - at some point the circles die out You can also use different swings too What this shows you is that future support/resistance levels were written into the market when the market swing was made and BEFORE price got anywhere near them! Here's another way you can us circles FTSE100 still daily charts Take a swing high to low, use that as your radius vector, draw the circle, then Draw a horizontal line from the top of the circle and it often (not always) but often creates another important level In this chart below all I've done is started the next radius vector from the top of the 1st circle to the swing low to create a bigger circle and then used the same horizontal line to see if the market does anything around it There's many more things you can do with the circle on price action, to which I'll leave you to explore if interested THT
  16. OK I've done this before but we need to refer to Gann's Square of 9 - do NOT let the numbers scare you - its basically a square root calculator Gann designed this when he visited the Pyramids in Egypt! See the number sequences going around in a circle and those form square platforms - Find the number 34 To get to the number above it (61) all you doo is square root 34 + 2 and re square - this is 360 degrees around the circle To get to the number 46 all you do is square root 34 + 1 re square - this is 180 degrees around the circle This applies to ANY number -including dates, but we won't look at dates as there's 365.24 days in a year which needs us to convert into 360 degrees for a solar year This next square of nine chart shows you the ANGLES - see how by dividing into 8 quadrants we get the shape of the great pyramid of Egypt - the pyramids weren't built for nothing you know! The angles are 45 degrees - round the circle back to 360/0 degrees Regarding where the 0 degree is - that CAN be moved to the 90, 180 or 270 degree places, it doesn't really matter that much but its usually where it is there or the 180 deg location Notice in the chart above that it shows the angles sub diving the 8 quadrants into 16 quadrants too - this has now produced angles every 22.5 degrees around the circle VERY often you will find markets pausing and turning at or very near these angles So how does this all apply to our chart of the SP500 Index from Dec 18 to Feb 2020? We've now got to use software to get the bigger numbers as the price levels for the SP500 exceed those printed on the sq 9 charts above so further sq 9 charts will be screenshots of that software 1st - this chart shows you every approx 180 and 360 cycle around the Gann sq 9 from the Dec 2018 LOW price - the price levels on my chart are precise as they have to be manually inputted onto the chart and it isn't exact As you can see simply by using a square root calc and progressing it upwards by adding +1 at a time it has some great hits - Remember to advance 1 full circle or 360 degrees of price we add +2 to the square rooted number so the price action here advanced nearly 5 levels/platforms on the sq 9 Here's those levels marked on the sq 9 software and the final high Please take not just how close the final high was to the YELLOW major angle Here's the square root price levels that match the chart above showing the approx. levels I've made time counts of the YELLOW numbers from the GANN Sq 9 - only 0-365 - you can see those numbers on the YELLOW shaded areas of the Gann Sq 9, as they are the critical area's / zones / lines etc - Here's the chart with the Square root price levels from the low AND TIME COUNTS To avoid cluttering the chart, I've selected the best fit time counts - as you can see time followed not precisely but well enough Just for reference, here's where the major turns since 1929 happened on the Gann sq 9 in green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 1929 HIGH was 381!!!!!!!!! Its not quite this simple though and different markets work out different cycles, price swings etc As you can see in the previous post using a simple Gann angle can be much more simpler and easier than calculating this level, that level, this time count, that time count etc Anyway you don't need these fancy methods to win in the markets, simple methods work - just highlighting that the markets are not as random as people tell us they are THT
  17. Okay When you get a major low or high, you have to run various calcs from - there is NOT a one fits all method I'm afraid The reason for this is that every market works through their own Time and Price cycles and those time and price cycles are simply not static As we've seen in the posts you sometimes have to use adjustments or splits of the original The last chart in this post shows you how using a simple ratio times and division method you could have nailed the low price bar of the Dec 2108 LOW and the MARCH 2020 LOW Here's the SP500 from the chart above, but viewing it from a different angle - REMEMBER to work out OPTION PRICES, those creating and selling the options USE SQUARE ROOTS - In the chart directly above we square rooted the low price and re squared it and we saw that a 29-30 trading day time cycle worked pretty well, especially in nailing the high, could we have done more?............................................................................ I'll let the charts speak for themselves: OK take a break before it gets a little complicated - in the chart below something different, In the charts above, we are using the low of Dec 2018 - Go to the TIME CYCLES page to see as this was a major TC date from the Nov 2016 cycle start - Look at the application of ratios from the low to high price - this does not always happen, but when it does, we get significant TIME zones but we also get PRICE levels that are either the RANGE of the ultimate High/Low price bar at some point in the future! Note - Just stop and think how a 2 year price rally gave us the price bar lows of 2 major turns in the SP500! to get the ratio of 1.5871 you need to divide the high into the low price (to get 623 you need to multiply the price advance in points 1062 by 0.5871) More to come in the next post, but its going to get a bit more advanced and we'll continu looking at the price rally from Dec 18 through to the high of Feb 2020 Permission is not granted to replicate the charts in this post outside of IG THT
  18. Here's a "rough" method and also includes a rough timing method - I DON'T use this - just want to show you other uses to angles But wanted to show it as part of the Angles aspect: Take a low to high and use that as the 1 x 1 - the other Gann angles spread out below - which is a pretty good fit for turns Now on the same chart add retracement levels - to keep this clear I've just kept the 50% level of the range A-B which we used to create the 1 x 1 Gann angle From the middle angle thick maroon - I've marked on the chart in vertical grey lines when a gann angle hit and crossed the 50% price retracement level As you can see its an average timing tool too - but it can be hit and miss - If of interest add in the other price retracement levels or fib levels to see etc because some of the turns missed on the chart were hit on other retracement levels! Also notice the high at B - this was resistance for the double top towards the right side of price action on the chart Remember there's no perfect system that gets everything all the time - we need a variety of methods Here's a timing solution that converts Price levels into Time levels - still doesn't beat Time Cycles
  19. Hi - No probs welcome Yeah Gann is hard I'll admit that - he didn't tell us everything in his courses Re the square - bit of both, you'll not see them often physically on a 2 D chart, however they do appear now and again (I think one is in view right now on the SP500 - I'll write about that at a later date) - however and this will involve a lot of work monitoring, looking for the ratios of the square etc and seeing them in price etc is hard work, but they do appear - I plan to get round to this soon but the thread had to start off showing p easy methods to win in the markets 1st The problem with this is most of the time we only see part of the square - the user then has to "add-in" onto their charts the expansion of the square which isn't easy to get the other measurements If squares and cubes are prevalent in the markets then circles have to be too, because they are all linked - this can be seen when you get a curved price action Yeah the cube is effectively what the USA markets have built and are building as its constantly expanding - in the mid 2030's when the Time Cycles top out we should see (If still alive) that 16-19 year cycle create a top like 1966-1982 of which it should have the square root of 2,3 and 5 ratios on the big turns - that period should be the top of the current cube and the bottom of the next cube and as its expanding in size, the swings should be pretty big in terms of points - the swings will always find balance and support near the 50% level of the all time high - closer to the time I'll reveal the Time Cycle to watch for that to happen on You'll not be able to physically see the cube effectively, its just the maths of the swings when compared to one another over long periods of time that tell you The TIME CYCLES are absolutely key to it all as they control the expansion - but basically what happens is the time cycles do their thing, then when they've evolved 360 degrees around the circle the cube is complete and the next higher one commences etc etc - the evolution time for the cube is approx 67-71 years - hence 1899-1966, 1966 to mid 2030's - its why 2000 less 71 = 1929, it why if you look at the chart of the dow in 1929-1933 it looks very similar to a chart of the nasdaq100 from 2000-2003 (they fell 82% too!) Take the image below and see it expand - that's what the USA markets have done since May1792 I think to provide software that does everything is expensive and probably complicated to create Keep an eye on the thread as over time I'll be showing various things just got another couple of things I want to show on angles and then it'll be onto Squares and Circles
  20. Hi @skyreach Yeah you need specialist stand alone software most likely - I bought mine 12 years ago and its custom made for professional traders, there'll be some half decent software out there i would say, but I've never looked for over a decade as the software I have does pretty much what I need it to do - most software for angles etc don't apply them properly so it doesn't square out effectively When you typically place a gann angle on a chart, the software decides how to apply it - which is why 99% using it are using it incorrectly, my software allows me to decide what factors the software applies to the gann angles, hence why you can get it to work as intended - all I've done is taken the price level and used harmonics/splits of that price and hey presto - I've also adjusted the angles so although 1 x 1, 1 x 2, 2 x 1 etc are the norm, you can use 1 x 1.414, 1 x 1.25, 1 x 1.618 etc as you wish Yes Gann discovered this mathematical relationship in 1909 - wrote books and course that failed to mention exactly how or what he did, but he gave snippets away and he looked at the markets completely mathematically and esoterically I'm just showing hidden things in the markets, that you never really see, you don't really need them to be able to trade well or effectively From a mathematical aspect (Gann indirectly mentioned this in the 1940's) - the USA stock market DOW, SP500 and now the Nasdaq100 for the past 200 years if you apply Pythagoras's Theorem to the major swings of the market on a monthly basis and compare the ratios of swings to swings, they show mathematical ratios such as 1.414, 1.732, 2.23, 1.618 etc - which to cut a long story short can be seen as building an ever expanding CUBE, you HAVE to include TIME as a component to see the relationships The relationships to the cube can't be seen in the chart below which is the SP500 index from 2000-2009 - but we can see Fibonacci relationships (1.60) is close enough for my crude use of the aspect in the calcs and 1.48 is close enough for 1.5 and 1.5 is the musical fifth (If look at 1899-1915 and 1966-1982 periods you'll get the square root and 2,3 and 5 (1.414, 1.732 and 2.23 which are the basis for a cube) relationships - These are BOTH the top of one cube and the base on the next cube, 67 years apart in terms of TIME, so the next top of the cube arrives in 2033 ish - if you scoot to my TIME CYCLE thread, you'll see the UP/DOWN sequence of the USA market from 1966 - 2016, when the last cycle started The REASON in the chart below we have lots of Fib ratios IS because the market is EXPANDING and growing, as its done since 2009 - you don't see these ratios of links if all you do is look at price or time on its own, you HAVE to combine them to form a new unit to measure I make no apologies for telling people they don't have no idea what the markets are actually doing (I didn't until I studied Gann and the avenues it took me down - If these ratios just happened once or twice you could write it off as coincidence, seen as are there are hundreds of them over 200 years its no longer coincidence but fact Take the 2002-2007 Bull run, forget about the Time Cycle in the posts above, you'd be looking for that move [B] to be 1.414-1.618 the size of the A move down, then with adjusting the price for the Gann angle, you could have pretty much nailed that rally for both price and time - the time aspect by by recalculating the figure until the levels matched Cross referencing over to the TIME CYCLE thread Chart #1), we can SEE that the date for the next for the END of this deflationary cycle and the START of the next Inflationary cycle (hence all the Inflation issues appearing now) is early DEC 2016 - In fact this cycle turned 1 month early (which is within parameters) Coincidently take a look what the market did on the AUG 2015 date! So if we apply the same Pythagoras Theorem calc from the 2009 low to the revised Cycle turn date of 4th Nov 2016 we get a figure shown in the chart below - I'll let those that are bothered compare that figure to those in the chart above, but if we take the 2002-2007 move called B, then the ratio is 1.6 times which is close enough for me to 1.618 - Once again KNOWING the approx TC date and applying Gann angles using an adjusted price of the 2009 low, the 1 x 1.5 Gann angle hit the Nov 2016 date and price level! Its all intricately linked and proves out the maths From an INVESTING point of view - The reason I'm showing posting here is to show you the markets are not random, they follow Time Cycles and they follow mathematics - It does NOT make sense sitting through a period like 2000-2003 fully Invested, its clear when the best time to get out, then back in, then out, then back in etc I didn't think of this - its ALL out there in traderland, you've just got to do as i did and hunt it down, test, test and test and research, which is not a quick process Permission is NOT granted to replicate or reproduce this post of images THT
  21. Here's a follow up to the post above, which is similar to the Nasdaq100 square I mention If markets were/are random, then you should not be able to do this - as we can it shows you that the SP500/Nasdaq100 etc are doing something different There's stuff I still don't know or understand about the markets and as i've mentioned before you don't need to know all this to make money from the markets - simple methods can be exploited - The main item is months after the event the market is still adhering to the terms, sizing of the original square off the low! This is the SP500 from 2002-2007: The key to the below was knowing 2007 should be a top and the approx time it was due - from that and the 2002 low price you could reverse engineer the required ascent per trading day with multiple 1 x 1 angles on of differing harmonics to the low price and as we've seen one of them was absolutely spot on - this could have been done the very next day from the 2002 low! and tracked throughout the months and years, not to mention that this Time Cycle creates a double top type event like it did back in 1973 *and the 1st chart in the Time Cycle thread as well as the 6th chart down One final thing - how amazing is this In the Time Cycle thread chart 1 - shows you the Time Cycle of 1982-2000 - In the chart below the GREY Gann Angle is the 1 x 1 from 1982 through to Jan and Mar 2000 - again price sliced and diced to get the angle, the other angles are simply the next whole number in the gann angle sequence so 2 x 1, 1 x 2 , 3 x1 etc etc The Pink Think Gann angle is the 2 X 1 angle, the 1 x 1 grey angle nailed the high - but look at the 2 x 1 angle - It went smack bang through the 50% gravity centre of the 1987 plunge! I've taken 50% retracement levels for you to see from the high that the 3 x 1 Gann Angle contained and then another 50% retracement level from the swing high right before the plunge So not only was the ultimate high price for the year 2000 KNOWN from August 1982, it also knew the 50% level of one of the stock markets historic plunges, with the plunge being stopped by the 1 x 1 angle that 13 years later ran straight through the market top and reversed the time cycle, dot com boom and the inflationary period - people say that the 1987 plunge only stopped because the markets were forced to close, I'm of the opinion that the market would have stopped either on the 1 x 1 angle as it did anyway or the next one down which is the 1 x 2 - regardless, it cannot be argued with that the markets respect price levels at key times and as Gann said "Price and Time are linked" Just mind blowing amazing - As you can see from the last chart the 2 x 1 angle pink, was ok on price before 1987, but not brilliant, that's because it had a higher purpose as mentioned! Truly amazing 99% of people misuse Gann angles and Gann being his true self, never actually told us in his works how to use them properly - he left it up to the users to figure it out - he did in his work tell the 99% how to use them, which is why they are often hit and miss I think I've proven to you that there's a much better way of using them THT
  22. Here's a Gann Angle method not in the text books (that I've seen) Details on the charts - Its easier to accept that the markets are mathematical environments where time and price interlace and from some of that it allows you to make fantastic calls/trades, that most people fail to see You could have produced the Gann angles the day after the market low in March 2020 - Don't fall into the trap that Gann angles predict tops/highs and lows all the time, there's multiple Gann angles that are active all the time (I'll show you another time how to use them with TIME CYCLES, as TIME trumps price in this game) All we have done here is divided PRICE at a key level and seen if it sync's to the market by converting it into an angle The other gann angles on the chart are simply 2 x1, 3 x1 etc unless marked Once you've thought about the above, take a retracement tool from the March 2020 LOW to the 2nd Sept HIGH - split it by 8ths, so 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%,50%, 62.5%, 75% and 87.5% Draw Horizontal lines across from those retracement levels until they intersect/meet up with the 1 x 1 line - you can use fib levels too Then draw vertical lines up from those intersection points and i bet you get some of the decent turns made in the rally upwards! think about that for a minute, because those turns were made BEFORE the Sept HIGH was anywhere near So although the 1 x 1 angle using price from the 2020 low didn't interact with price until oct 2021, it was still relevant in terms of TIMING some of the major turns in that advancement of price! It's almost as if price knows what its going to be doing in the future! I'll update you on the Nasdaq100 square I posted in Jan this year as that has conformed to the original Square created back in 2020 THT
  23. Gold had a fantastic reaction off the 50% gravity centre - fast quick multiple R profits being trailed Next point of significance is the major weekly double top just under the 2011 high line - This is a 10 year old level that up until very recently has still affected the market - Shown on the chart in purple, It'll be very very important to watch price as it/if it interacts with the level in the coming few weeks If price still doesn't like it then it will create a WEEKLY double top of which the target will be the Swing low labelled green #3 near the thick black line on the chart EURUSD: This could be at a critical point for a trend reversal We've got price just breaching the WEEKLY 50% level - if this is active, then price would be expected to exceed the Jan 2021 HIGH @ 12400+ or close to it (This will take months to achieve if the level is applicable) Price is now in the range of a previous double top from 2015/2016 I'm not really a fan of trend lines, but this one has been respected multiple times WEEKLY and DAILY Indicators are oversold and in positions from where cycle rallies happen from
  24. So far we've looked at multiple methods that provide ultra high trading opportunities based on market FORMATIONS of price swings The KEY is having methods that work and managing them properly - you don't have to know anything about the markets to win - anyone can do, BUT, it gets complicated as people try to outsmart moves and the market and end up outsmarting themselves Back in the 1980's/90's Larry Williams and Jake Bernstein published books for traders, here's one of the simple methods - remember you CAN adapt these to suit YOU and your style Its called The MAC (Moving Average Channel) Settings as per the chart - Jake Bernstein said - Trade the channel and buy long after 2 consecutive CLOSES above the top of the channel (BLUE 8 SMA of the High) As you can see the method works Here's another variation: Take a simple moving average and offset that by x% - in this case in the chart below i picked a 40 period simple moving average and offset by 2% above and below Do you think you could design a trading method off that? Of course you could Here's another variation: This time we're using a 50 period dynamic moving average offset by 2% above and below the middle line - Again do you think you could design a trading method from that? I know you can My trading software allows me to view these dynamic moving averages as an indicator - so in this case its set 50 price bars, the dynamic factor is 3 out of 5 for volatility and price must move 2 bars to register a change in colour of bar As you can see they're ALL tradeable, choose your own settings and test I remember I got offered one of those massively reduced trading DVD's, I bought it out of curiosity - basically it was a rip off of John Carters Mastering the Trade book, with his "Propulsion" method being the star of the DVD, but they had to tweak it as to not directly rip it off exactly and the results we're ok, but not brilliant - so to give credit where credit is due this is John Carters Propulsion method: As you can see there's lots of different ways to trade with moving averages - Its all about designing a method with settings and rules that suit YOU Not all of you will be traders, what about the long term Investor? Lots said out there about the 200 period moving average - its OK, but its not perfect - but it'll do for this post There's loads of amateur investors with massive portfolios, probably in terms of the number of stocks in them as well as in £'s amount/size - I bet 98% of them all follow the market at all times and that means them seeing their investment portfolios reduce in value as plunges happen and crashes take hold - the smart thing to do is get out near the tops and back in again near the lows - of which the fund managers tell you can't be done or its not ideal to do that - of course its NOT, if we all did the best thing for our money it would absolutely WRECK the fund management industry! which is why you'll hear the following - REMEMBER I used to be a Financial Adviser, I used to hear this all the time during the big crashes and plunges!: "Its Time in the Market NOT Timing the Markets" - Utter rubbish! "Don't miss the big UP days" - I say avoid the big down days too!! The chart below shows a 200 day simple moving average since 1982 for the SP500 Index - Those who've read my TIME CYCLE thread, know that the SP500 Index moves UP for 16-19 years, then sideways/down for 16-19 years and then repeats the cycle - the big turns/plunges can be timed - but even by using the very simple method shown on the chart (its not perfect, it CAN be made better!) you'd be OUT of the market on the big plunges/crashes Anyway, as you can see there's a whole host of very simple and easy methods to use to make money from the markets either short-term or long term and as mentioned at the beginning, the key is managing them properly and consistently There is NOT one special moving average out there - they are ALL lagging Indicators
  25. The key to markets is TIMING - Its the part that 99% of traders out there want to know and understand - The Information is out there, I learnt it and found it - We'll never pick the exact top, low price or every swing, but we CAN pick ultra high probability turning points and price levels, within a bar or two of a swing high/low (proved that in my How To Win thread) Now with timing there's a lot of stuff out there that works, but it does not really give us much use or confidence in applying/using and because we need to have a good idea of what the market is going to do - WE NEED that confidence from a method Take this 1st chart below This is the Dow Index - chart tells you everything you need to know - BUT, would we have been confident in trading this? In hindsight, it was perfect and shows that something is at work converting Time and Price or in this case Price into TIME For me, I have much more confidence in using the cycles shown in the posts above and you can see from the charts above one of them had a date for FEB 2020 (If you monitor Price and Time points and convert into the opposite so Price as Time and Time as Price etc you will come across turning points and price points that comply - not all turns or levels though - SO you're back to your uncertainty level per trade) - Also you'll find Fibonacci ratios, numbers, time counts crop up too - If you're looking at Fibonacci then I would recommend that you also incorporate Natural ratios in there too (Natural rations are to do with the universe and the building blocks of life, such as the Square, Triangle and Circle - Square root 2 / 3 and 5, PI 3.14, Natural Logarithm figure etc) The BLUE Time Cycle What you need are points in either TIME or PRICE that have worked and have worked for DECADES As this is a TIME CYCLE thread, lets look at 1 of the many Time Cycles that operate in the markets: This TC was published in the 1930's, nearly 100 years agoooooo and it still works today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It performs a little different depending on which market its placed in, as you'll see in the charts below I've displayed the next hit of it too - it might be a damp squib of a move like the last hit, but it might not be The EXACT SAME TIME CYCLE is placed onto different markets (confirm the dates) below so you can see the effect For example, lets take the stock markets of SP500 and FTSE100 Indicies - In previous posts above there's a large Time Cycle due in FEB 2020, in my How to Win thread there's also a chart of this market bouncing from a 50% level, piecing all this together not only allowed you to short the market downwards but we also had a possible bounce zone along with a known Time Cycle that should force a market turn and bingo that is what in the end happened - confidence in cycles through well researched methods - selling the high would be a bit hard but I know for a fact shorting it down and buying the low at the 50% level was certainly possible because I did it In the different markets below just look at the fixed time cycle dates shown and how the market reacts at or around them and think to yourself could I devise a trading method to exploit a turn up or down - Also this method works better on certain markets than others Now you do NOT need to know about timing to win in the markets, the vast majority of Time Cycles don't really enhance you're trading, but some of them do and allow you to catch turns some of which can be minor, half decent or major in terms of profits If you trade commodities then simply just take the dates and eyeball to see how it reacts on those markets (This TC was published for the WHEAT market, but as we can see it works to some degree on lots of markets) This is another example of Gann's Law of Vibration in action and that markets are mathematical points of force If when reading this thread you do not think to yourself that other forces are at work not only in the markets but in your life then I've failed in the message The main focus of this thread are the LARGER Time Cycles, but in between, occasionally I'll post little snippets of other cycles that not only work, but have worked for well over a hundred years with amazing accuracy Here's the SP500: Here's the GOLD market Here's EURUSD: Here's GBPUSD: and here's the FTSE100 Index:
