I dont know yes q today's bean rally, price action was good? but vol low, so not a "good " rally? dont know what jack dpr question>? by the way charts tomorrow verty very good point I do not understand the quality of the rally yes dpr question this may mean 2 things that supply or selling wasnt evident why do I say this because the trend of the beans is up on the daily so it is the selling that Must come in not the buying because the buying has proved itself I hope u understand what I am sayng i do But the market has NOT taken out rsistance yet has it? so in order for the market to rally further it will need buying or demand at the 550 are ain may for example but it is in a trading range remeber what I said about a market going to to the path of least ressiatnce? well the path of least resisatnce is Beans is Up why why is it up? y because the market is making higher highs and higher lows the daily trend is up I thiught that but was not sure so rallies dont have to priove itself in an uptrend it is supply that must break the back of the bulls now I know Im mentioend that the volume should increase on rallies but it doesnt have to on EVERY rally but over all within the trend it should now if we get to resisatnce and try to break above it on light volume the market most likely will fail because the CM that the move has not attracted more buyers and the market will fall back into its range it will need more volime to rally above the highs of the move it is at that level where the bulls and the bears will fight so the volume would natuarally increase but since the CM is probably long and has accumaulted eventaully this resistance will be brokern dpr that was a Great question it is a question we wrestle with in the 8 pm class all the time volume Jack does this help u are well understand? questions? yes it does great please understand the 3 principles of wyckoff they are important and if you donr please let me know supply vs demand effort vs result cause vs effect these are the 3 principles that if we can get a good handle on we can undersatnd markets and what the Cm intends to do with the market so we are constantly watching market action and trying to determine what the intentions of the strong hands are the CM they Know the market and its "news" bettre than we do.. so we cant beat em but they leave footprints and we can see them so when we look at a market what should we look at first trend is ituip or down? if it is up we are looking to buy pullbacks to support and we continue to do that untill we see signs of a top and we see this in the Prelimary supply then ultimately the selling climax we went over the wyckoff wave so u can see these 2 area okay? ok so if we see a sideways ttrading range we must determine is it accumaultion or distribution buying on balance or selling on balance if the trend is up like the soybeans we buy at support within the range like the cm User [dpr /206.63.203.197] joined forum at Mon Apr 24 19:53:01 EDT 2000 understand? y y does this make sense to u? y y it is not a hard concept but lots of work to see and exp most people dont want to put the effort into wyckoff so they dont follow it but that is fine with me that is why it works so we are watching the market for demand and supply strenghth and weakness remeber the term the trend is your friend So buying on balance = Hoizontal line buying, vice versa for selling? so we buy support in an uptrend but if the buying gets too excessive this couldmean the beginning of the end yes sherri we can see demand and supply from the hoizontal lines with support being the floor and resisatnce being the celind ceiling we can see demand and supply best during a sideways trading range when we draw horizontal lines rather than the sloping lines but it is the quality of these rallies and breaks that determine the direction of the market what happens if the grains break or go down tomorrow and the volume increases ? supply sellers have moved in? yes would we expect to see this?

Reread it. hey marsh Hello everybody. I want to apologize for missing Thursday chat if anybody was there. I promised to be hello mrJ, fellow traders brb here and I missed. I simply got mixed up with the days and when I realized--was too late. Othere all is forgiven Amos ok amos. hope you had a nice holiday than than that- hope everyone had a reasonable holiday. ok amos, some of us missed you :-) you know sacrificing a lamb ain't as easy as it used to be lol okay I am back if you dont mind I want to review for a few minutes Thank g-d the markets are easier (Huh???) or to make sure you all know the 3 basics principles of wyckoff does anyone know what they are? except for the poepl in the last class lol anyone? accumulation, distribution, markup? 1 ) demand vs supply 2) effort vs result cause & effect cause vs effect yep does EVERYONE understand these?I yes, y y great sometimes we talk about abstract things here and I just want to make sure about the basiscs so we have proper foundation okay then since we know the 3 principles no need to rehash any questions about markets or on wyckoff User [fibo /206.104.30.88] joined forum at Mon Apr 24 20:14:11 EDT 2000 hi fibo User [sal /216.192.251.67] joined forum at Mon Apr 24 20:14:19 EDT 2000 hi sal is it too difficult to explain the idea with price volume? hi, fibo User [fibo] left forum at Mon Apr 24 20:14:27 EDT 2000 Hi fibo User [fibo /206.104.30.88] joined forum at Mon Apr 24 20:14:34 EDT 2000 hi all hi fibo, hi sal hello everyone hi sal not at all jorg when a amrket is an uptrend so what is it about hi sal / fibo generally the rallies will be on heavier volume and wider price action this shows demand hi sal fibo if a mrket rallies and the volume generally doesnnt accompy it the rally can be suspect the same is true on the downside though revrsed right sounds logical right in an uptrend the longs generaly are the poeple that are the strong hands the composite man as wyckoff caled them so we are always watching price action and volume to dtermine the stenghth and weakness of amrkets can be misleading sometimes though how so? today nasdaq broke with rising volume and still reversed lateron the stock market is so complex that is difficult k to take a day by day basis in that market anyway but the action lets say in the nasdaq is negative maybe ran out of sellers buyers came back ok sounds ok rally with increasing volume the volume on the break was on good volume to the downside the action is bearish but there should be more to it but the market rallied and didnt prepare for a move so the rally will probably fail from todyas lows it could rally early but the trend in the nasdaq i belive is down now as amos and I have mentioned it appears that most markets are biding their time until may the markets are preapring for a move the CRB index where should the LPS has been holding support well and this bodes well for commodities in which market lavona Nasq explain this relation a bit more please volume/price and it's result in futher prices wow a long subject jorg but I can go over a tad more amos at what level do u see lps? volume is the gas for a market to move markets move in the path of least resisatnce and by reistance here I dont mean a selling area but I mean markets move in the easiest direction so in an uptrend k the easiest direction is up' so one owuld expect volume to increase and price action to increase on rallies this shows demand In general (if you can say this in private)--if you have a terminal shakeout--then last point of support will be inside the accumualtion range if --not-- you may have a lps after the jump across the creek. depends on nature and length of accumulation/diostribution processess. if a market rallies and the volume decreases that rally is suspect ok no problem Thank you beleive I understand the function of the LPS now amos can u explain lps thanks ;-) okay greta lavona okay.. lps is the point at which the CM is as close to starting the Mark up/mark down as possible. this week is an omportant week If it is accumulation it is the "last" train to San Fernando" which is not such a good term, because does everyone knows what lps stands for? if you are a momentum trader--you can always join the move. no It may be a misnomer--but it is a good point (low risk) to get in. i didn't before . . . last point of support lsp lps sorry lpsy is the last point of supply okay.. lpsy is the mirror image of lps does that help peggy? y it is the last point of supply--which in Wyckoff terminology ( a bit confusing) say s it is the last point at which supply is "hiding" its true move and the mark down is to start. In a classical case it is a weak rally inside the trading range which makes up the distribution phase following the sign of weakness. You must understand that classical cases are rare--but they are the frame of reference.. That is like sayin--look at the Mona Lisa. This is a classical smile--now go on and paint like that. It is not easy--but you have something to immitate we are interested in market behavior not classical action That is like saying--I know what I need--do not confuse me with your facts. If you are not interested with classical action--then do not use the terminology ...and you are home free--sailor could you provide chart examples tomorrow night? -> coff on a weekly basis is near supoport coffee on a weekly basis should be watched of which Mr J? of "lpsy" and "lps" k tomorrow we will be addressing several markets that are at weekly supports like coffee Has anyone noticed any markets that are at a rather significant support on the long term charts? User [Jorg] left forum at Mon Apr 24 20:38:39 EDT 2000 yes e.g.? Australian Dollar mrj. I am looking --but do not have long enough chart--I will look later. Any other markets that are at significant support? cotton is back to it's creek on weekly yes at the 5600 area storm has moved in must shut down. thanks User [Lavona] left forum at Mon Apr 24 20:41:14 EDT 2000 bye lavona nite yes , but major major support for july cotton is 52, not 56. may contract is still on the weekly for now right fibo still, the main support in cotton weekly is the 51 area amos what markets are at weekly support at these levels k I will send them tomorrow for further review please do, thanks cocoa, coffee, wheat, gold, silver do u think these markets are undergoing accumaltion? yes so a buy of these markets with ppropaite stops would be a wise idea wyckoff wise not necessarily--if the accumulation continues for several more years tomorow I will be send weekly charts so we can see major moves that may be unfolding because as we get furhter along in the yr and the markets have been within a range we may see some nice moves do u think markets can stay here for several yrs? they already have I know but several more from here? why not? Who is to tell? u r the professor u need to tell us :) If the stock market goes on a bull rampage for 20 years--is it to turn around in 1 or 2? so lets work the range well the grains the beans are nearing toh top of its daily range I already started to brand some of my cows the grains as we mentioned should make thier moves lol@amos after the may delivery :) brand cows?> working the range... Look, all we have to work with is in first third of the second quarter of the year 2k is look at the quarterly chart and decide whether the information we have from the first quarter is bullish, bearish or indtermainate. The stock market had a close in the middle, of sorst,--that means that there is supply, but demand is not dead. So expect a large trading range for the rest of 2000. Beans closed well--expect a bullish progress. Wheat--is still weak, Gold--I do not remember what the weekly looks like. You can get a general feeling (not necessariloy good for trading because the quartely chart has no practical entry point with reasonable stoploss--unless you are the Sultan of Brunai. But is gives you a general feeling. gold closed close to it's low change is inevitable, except from a vending machine lol : ) :-) I know it is not easy to talk about quarterly charts--but it is important for long health line.It is like doing the yearly check up.--does not mean you wont get a small cold during the next 12 months--but gives you a general knowledge about your total health. In the long run, except of the fact that we all die--long term charts can give you indications for good trades. They mean nothing for short term traders-- and they comprise the vast majority of players in the markets. I want you to know, that I am stil working on editing the Linda Rashcke thingy and I hope to bring it one day to a format that will be more usefull to "normal" people like us. thats great Could we review and complete the SMI schematic yes will you translate it into "normaleze?" :-) ; ]> fibo, you see that the market ignored the 10811 in the dow which was the 50% so where is the next resistance? 10957 is .618 is there something before? not that i can see On the weekly chart, I think 10922 is a clear creek. So if we have now a creek at 10922 and a fibonacci retracements at 10957--you have a nice collusion of two point the market should respect--they are rather close to each other which increassed you LOK. This may be another good point to try the short side of the market!! yes weekly is more clear This is one thing that this group has hard time organizing and establishing as a routine (mantra , if you wih)-- coming everytday with a gunch of good points of support and resistance in various markets--and lolking for those markets User [Frank /207.230.57.85] joined forum at Mon Apr 24 21:05:22 EDT 2000 hi Frank hello Frank that have a significant accumulation (bad word) of those points--so that the level of knowledge increases--and gives all of us a chance at a good trade. hi mr j, fibo and all hi frank dp ;o> quilty as charged..... guilty does not interest me---poor does well if u all dont mind I need to do my charts and get ready for tomorrow I will be sending charts tomorrow and I will be here for 2 hours understand, will apply self better. not going anywhere if i don't. tomorrow will be lots of charts I'll ask again---could you review and complete SMI schematic amos can u do that for mr J now? not just for me Gary nite gary and thanks no amos not now but wednesday what part of the schmatic? thank you Yes, we will, we must do it regularly and then when we ginish we go with "brain" and try to conquer the world--if Pinky helps us. review and complete User [sal] left forum at Mon Apr 24 21:10:08 EDT 2000 see you all tomorrow nite mr j thanks amos nite gary, thanks nite amos nite amos, thanks thanks amos nite everyone okay mr j will do User [amos] left forum at Mon Apr 24 21:11:11 EDT 2000 User [davep] left forum at Mon Apr 24 21:11:13 EDT 2000 I will see u all tomorrow good night User [gary fullett] left forum at Mon Apr 24 21:11:22 EDT 2000
