chart c5

23:15 Randy: there's you a heads up

23:20 Randy: That HSI Chart suggest a crash but the pattern is not confirmed until the double Lower top below the all time high (in the second circle area)

23:21 Randy: Lower double top...and notice the spacing and where it is...

23:21 Randy: this is the case for 90% of all major crashes

23:22 WinWin: randy... do you actually count all the waves to come to that conclusion ?? or any other factors you consider for that ??? Or is it your familiar pattern?

23:22 Tere98: in other words wait till it goes to 27 before entry?

23:22 Randy: @ 27 place an order and turn off the computer for 4 months

23:23 Randy: count pushes not wave per say.. length of pushes

23:24 WinWin: length of pushes... you mean pushes to upward direction ???

23:24 Randy: yes and if there is creep or space

23:25 WinWin: I see.

23:25 Randy: hard trends have 5-7 on the up side and 7-11 on the downside

23:25 Randy: medium paced trend have 3 maybe 5 that fails...

23:26 Randy: creeping trends 2-3

23:25 WinWin: oh...you actually are familiar with this pattern..then...

23:26 Randy: :-) y win win

23:26 WinWin: ok...

23:26 Randy: it is THE pattern all "traders" know -- especially if you 've ever traded commodities

23:26 WinWin: does this work only for daily chat?? or do you also use for intraday ??

23:27 Randy: that pattern in the commodities is The pattern that confirms change of trend regularly

23:28 WinWin: pattern confirming change of trend ??? What are they ??

23:28 Randy: look at the 29 crash.. 87 crash

23:28 WinWin: based on daily chart ???

23:28 Randy: daily, weekly

23:28 WinWin: ok

23:28 Randy: what is what?

23:29 WinWin: the pattern confirming change of trend ???

23:29 Randy: DT below high

23:29 WinWin: you mean reversal trends ???

23:29 Randy: FB DT below H

23:29 WinWin: oh..ok

23:29 Randy: y

23:30 Randy: happens intraday as well.. just more noise

23:30 WinWin: ic. So you use on daily most of time ??

23:30 Randy: the inverse is also true for big Picture analysis y

23:30 Randy: and weekly

23:31 WinWin: ok.. Then you use for minutes chart, too?

23:31 Randy: 45 minute is the only one

23:31 WinWin: just want learn about how to use this one...

chart c6

23:32 WinWin: browns and greens are for counting the pushes then ?

23:32 Randy: indicator are always slow on minute chart so Just ignore

23:34 Randy: Here's the same pattern (kinda) close to the top of this daily HSI same chart

chart c7

23:34 WinWin: so use price action and pushes for correct forecast of movement ???

23:35 Randy: yyy

23:35 Randy: pattern recognition @ relative location is the KEY

23:36 WinWin: ic

23:36 WinWin: pattern recognition ...being continuation or reversal ?? @ relative location ???? could you explain... pls ?

23:36 Randy: both

23:36 Randy: you need to know the history of the trend to know when it at risk

23:36 WinWin: history...

23:36 WinWin: how far ??? by what ?

23:37 Randy: there are different types of trends...

23:37 WinWin: like what ??? may I ask ?

23:37 Randy: no look at the picture closer

23:38 Randy: WinWin 3 main types of trends

23:38 WinWin: up /dn/sideways ?? or talking about trends ???

23:50 @Buffy2: neat randy tks

23:50 WinWin: wow... very good... beautiful...

23:50 av: The charts have so much of information., I'm just overwhelmed

23:50 Randy: if you understand that chart... you and make a living at this

23:51 Randy: each section end with a very specific pattern for that type of trend

23:51 WinWin: so if I want to dig further, look for your charts...then ?

23:52 Randy: look on your own.. it all there

23:52 WinWin: specific pattern for each section?

23:52 Randy: section.. type of trend

23:52 Randy: 3 types...

23:53 Randy: one pattern leads into another and they have a sequence and duration and type of correction

23:53 Randy: enjoy!!

23:53 @Buffy2: thanks randy

23:54 WinWin: wow...hope to dig further on that... do you have any written on that ??

23:54 Randy: This is directly for Bill McLarens work

23:54 WinWin: GANN guy ??

23:54 Randy: I have tapes.. DVD 's books etc.. so yes thats the one

23:55 Randy: but Gann doesn't really work so -- I mean for most folks

23:55 WinWin: then you modified it to suit yourself ??

23:56 Randy: So I'd stick with the basic fundamental of market structure

23:56 WinWin: basic fundamental of market structure ??

23:56 Randy: see my last post

23:56 WinWin: ok -- you mean three types of trends ...

23:58 Randy: :-) yes... unless you want to trade chop all of the time -- highest risk type of trading... So try understanding trend... and how to enter then at low risk

00:00 WinWin: so your decision is based on roughly 45 minutes of this type of development... when it hits the critical zone of the pushes...there you make trades ??? That is what I am trying to do.. of course more study must accompany...

00:01 Randy: These are general directions to look in, Trading intraday is a bit more involved But... you have to understand the bigger picture in order to have a bias that will pay

00:02 WinWin: yes...absolutely..

00:03 @Buffy2: randy posted some properties windows tonight

00:03 WinWin: oh..I mean my question was on what other extra factors do you consider for intra trading?

00:03 Randy: triggers to get into trades... trendline breaks. previous S&R same as everyone. A little time analysis too.

00:05 WinWin: You mean this ??

chart Randy_9

00:08 Randy: there's a144 time cycle workout. Notice where the green and red lines cross

00:09 Randy: That is the GANN Square tool

00:13 Shar: Since you've talked about Maclaren, here's a report on SafeHaven from him.

00:14 Randy: thanks Shar

00:14 Shar: yw

00:13 Randy: how does the market know where to turn?? Looking for 2950 on the SPI

chart WinWin-2

00:17 WinWin: randy... are you talking about first three arrowed points as being verticals ??

00:17 Randy: is 7/8ths... one on the most important time.. in any cycle.. (GOLD)

00:18 WinWin: again...based on GANN...right ?

00:18 Randy: Just in general time squares price at significant point

00:18 Randy: y

00:19 WinWin: maybe to understand better... need to study your charts..further.. but wanted to have some pre information to understand your theory better....

00:20 Randy: that is a square (visual) calculator based on 144/ ie 144 Calendar Days and 144 POints.... 1X1

00:22 Randy: You can also have a 1X2 ratio or 1X4 or 1X8... but this market is best "looked at" with a 1X1 ratio ie 144X 144 or 90 X 90 (90 day and 90 points)

00:22 Randy: I chose the 144 calculator because it "sounds' real good to this market

00:24 Randy: High and low continue to "come in" on this harmonic

00:24 Randy: Highs and Lows on the 1/8ths and 1/3rds...

00:23 WinWin: You said "21:13 Randy: how does the market know where to turn??

" what do you mean ? Gann rules ? So as a practical question regarding the 144 thing... do you graph it using major swing high and low ????

00:25 Randy: Yes

00:26 WinWin: then..use which rule ( 1/8 and 7/8 with some other places being good turning points ???

00:27 Randy: here's a plot from a low...

chart Randy_6

00:27 Randy: here's the same chart plotted from a high

chart Randy_9

00:28 Randy: same 144 cycle with a different start point -- same 1/8ths just different colors now
