Thread: Congestion Entrance Price Action

    Mrjtdude,

    I trade a very similar setup that's been profitable for me for the past few months, so that I understand this works. I wouldn't say that you made this up, however. You have discovered this along with many others including myself. The fact that you came to your conclusions by yourself is a step in the right direction.

    The only suggestions I have for you should take a look at which higher timeframe to look at against which reduced time frame (read up on harmonic cycles and trading for more information to this), and also daily range trading alongside support and resistance (so many great threads about this so many aspects ) for targets.

    I used to use Fibonacci within my trading (not knocking it, it works!) I have since found using various S/R functions.

    Good luck

    No need to elaborate any further. Trading is a breakthrough

    From the chart, the current price is below the prior daily open and preceding weekly available but over the prior monthly open. What is the trend?
    Potentially you could be at a ranging market or consolidation period (potentially lasting a number of hours or maybe days). Your current price means nothing if you don't take it into context, which can only be carried out by looking at a chart or a spreadsheet with all the previous x prices such as the current price.

    Yea, I really don't think anybody has come up with anything really original for a while. It has been done before I agree. Perhaps I should have rephrased it stumbled across, wasn't actually saying I'd come up with anything new. I'm not the best communior in the world.

    Harmonic trading and cycles, daily range sup. res. Will read thanks for the information.

    Frankenpip and gbp:
    I'm an idiot but I'm not following how that relates to greater time frame trend with support and resistance. HH HL LL LH. I know your speaking to a time stamp and the terms of weekly and monthly opens to the current price. In the event that you were to rewrite the very first rule how do you do it. I'll unveil it if it's flawed. Thanks for the information.

    Hi mrjtdude

    what's the logic behind switching to reduced time period, why don't you just place your stop order below the congestion place once you have established the direction from the Higher time period, along with your SL on the current low or high and your TP the nearest S/R points

    Since I understand price is in the same point which TF you switch to

    That's what I do anyway and its working good, but maybe after your explanations I might see the light in your way.

    Pls I'm looking forward to your response

    Because I understand price is in the same point which TF you switch into

    That is exactly what I do anyway and its working alright, but possibly after your explanations I may see the light in your own way.

    Pls I am looking forward to your response

    Kos,

    look at Hammers and Walls for perspective. Lets say you set a wall over the hour time frame. You may not always observe a hammer onto the H1 time frame, however if you should look at m15 for instance, you might find a hammer there and thereby finish the scenario for transaction setup.

    In this instance, we are not looking for walls, we're looking for HH, HL, LH, LL. We switch to a lower timeframe once we have a bar of consolidation (an inside bar). We look for a clear higher or lower compared to the last bar close on the lower time frame. Since we've switched time frames to a lesser one, in the majority of instances, entry will be earlier than waiting for a breakout of the bar before the inside bar on the higher time frame.

    Please ask if you need additional clarifiion.

    Price is always ranging and trending, Mate. Choose 2 prices and you also can ascertain if price is determined or trending. Pick 2 occasions and you can ascertain if price is determined or trending. Or you can pick 2 prices and pick 2 times to find out if price is ranging or trending. 1 trader's trend is another trader's range.

I will rewrite it if it is flawed. Thanks for the info.
    Never said you're an idiot, Mate, that wouldn't be considerate.

    The very first rule could be: Describe the trend based on your starting time. Starting time is concerned, previous month's ending, beginning of this year, previous week's open, etc.. . The idea is to select 1 time and use the price at the time as your reference price to find out if the current trend is down or up.

    The very first rule may be: Describe the trend according to your starting period. Starting time can be, previous month's end, beginning of this year, previous week's receptive, etc.,. . The idea is to select 1 time and apply the price at that time as your benchmark price to determine if the current trend is up or down.
    Good point. I'll add that particular info into the rule but I kind of thought that was implied by using whatever greater time period someone selects. Those two time frames that I picked were out of the blue.

    There's another rule which I will add according to Limstylz proposal about using multiples of a period frame. With it being 4x or 5x is something I have read as well but not sure of the logic of these multiples aside from 4x being a multiple of 2x. Not certain if these numbers actually mean anything in lively cycles of period (the true truth of market movements).

    The biggest problem though with multiple time frames is the cycles of each time period are lively in length. When there was a much better approach to align those dynamics closer to a given time range then I'd guess it'd be a far higher probability of making the correct entrance. Discrete fourier transform might help some IF you applied some sort of margin of error regarding the cycle ending and/or beginning.
