What we used to call a shakeout. true in Hogs :) that is also called a shakeout but somtimes a shake out User [wyatt /166.93.111.134] joined forum on Thu Jul 20 21:15:32 EDT 2000 is just a penetration of support and not nec of horizonatl support so a spring generally has moredefinnded parameters if the market went above 280 lets say 285 a question about Stock market technique number one, which I finally found at Fraser books 1 877 996 3336when u can Gary? hi wyatt did yiu look at the volume price went up but did it on weak volume -- you tought me that and then closed under 280 this is called an "upthust" the opposite of a spring hi Gary, everyone it is designed to catch the buy stops okay Frank please ask page 90 figure charting wycoff says you can use high low or close , which do u recommend? User [Joe K /172.159.201.190] joined forum on Thu Jul 20 21:18:55 EDT 2000 Thanks Gary that helps a lot. Hey everyone Hi Joe topic ? what do i mean frank hi Joe K number one is the the best one undersatnd zack? what do i mwan? I cjhart the gigh low and the close So after a Sprng or an upthrust there will usuall be more consolidation? what do u mean charting high low close? generally yes zack if the market is strong the spring will lead to a rlly back to the top of the range on the figure chart on page 90 of stock market number one point and figure chart? frank? wycof did not use POINT, just figure and they work very well i might add User [Guest /206.251.171.197] joined forum on Thu Jul 20 21:22:31 EDT 2000 point and figure charts are very importnat to wyckoff they tell how far a move can go he just used figure, not point acording to the books i have read by him I think both the high the low and the close are very important they tell how much techinical they work the same way but directly reference the quotes work has been done i understand frank I think they are all equally important to me because any way would you use the high the low or the close on the charts? the high represents demand the close I think high is important as it shows demand I am sorry I think high is important u can only use one number on an end of the day figure chart or for that matter a figure chart as it shows supply I know frank I am explaining about the high low close the high shows so would u use the hi low or close? what supply camme in at that level the low shows where demand came in and the close shows where value would be so I think the close is omportant Close RW you can use either the hi low or close, thanks so much Gary what would u use Frank? I look at it this way in an up market I am interested in the lows becasue that shows me where demadn should come in probably the close but perhapa the high if the trend was up or the low if the trend was down in the low is lower that shows supply enetering the market iin an uptrend it is important to see supply as long as supply or selling doesn come in the market will go up if u see selling or supply this could be a Sign of weakess so in an uptrend demand has proven itself so supply MUST come in what i am looking at is resistance points, and support points to undo the uptrend do u understand that class? for entry and close up trailing stops a market will go up until supply or selling comes in that is correct Frank I would likeI want to talk about a topic simiar to what frank mentioned Understand the principal. Ignorent oon point and figure charts i also like the percents he uses to determine an up or down trend with. very cool. The crb shows too much that i do not care to trade. k I agree zack amos when he comes back will go into deetail on point and figure very important k a market will genrally go up till it has a buying climax so the trend will be up until u see some cliamtic action volume and price generally one never knows where the climaxes User [Guest] left forum on Thu Jul 20 21:35:00 EDT 2000 will occur ideally we need very basic instructions on [oint and figure charts so that we can be proficent in their use the selling climax shuld go to an area of weekly or monthly support on a daily cliamx I kow capt and I will provide that :) will u keep on up if I talk on it? :) a buying cliamx on a daily chart will go to resistance generally on a weekly and monthly chart that is why time frame is important on an intraday chart the selling climax will go to daily support do u undersatnd what I mean? y y so if u sell a buying climax u r guessing to a great degree to where it can go but u can have a rough guestimate s the trick is if u dont have the deepest pockets it to wait for a climax lets say buying climax then the market will break User [Guest /216.33.190.129] joined forum on Thu Jul 20 21:39:05 EDT 2000 if the rettest is on light volume and smaller ranges SELL the retest the risk is low and most likely profitable I had a client today who sold the Nasdaq thinking he saw reisatnce and a selling climax when it sisnt do what he wanted didnt he lowered his stop and was stopped out with a small loss but he did identify ressiatnce and thought it was a BC so what did he do/ he sold the retest and made all his losses plus priofit profit got to go nite my point is User [Capt.] left forum on Thu Jul 20 21:41:25 EDT 2000 night capt is it is an easier trade to sell the retest nite capt becasue u can define risk the buying cliamx u really cant tell where it will stop with alot of accuracy but a retest is more defined do u understand this? yes yes selling a retest of the highs very effective yes. I assume same for selling climax buying retests of low effective yes zach the oposite is true why do I say buying retests of lows and selling retests of highs are important less risk--still profitable because it reduces your risk to get long or short and confirms better entry for greater results the CM will defend his postions so if he bought 220 in corn and it rallied to 230 and he is long what do u think he will do at 220? buy again you mean 230 ? sell that is why drawing horizontal lines are important confused me there because they show support and resisatnce they show where demand should come in if the market is bought by the cm at 220 and it rallies to 230 I assume the cm will sell some of his longs but net he is long so when the market breaks back to 220 he will buy back the ones he sold at resisatnce k k the cm when he builds a bullish postion he will buy breaks to support because he is long he creates demadn at support that is why u MUST try to identify the strenghth and weakess of the day week month or even intraday today in the nasdaq the market showed demand all day long so at support it was biught by the cm the trend was up it showed demand so the Cm support his long position so it important to identify Demand if bullish because once the CM shows u demand he doesnt just show u supply markets just dont change trend in a day sometimes the cm will show demand then break the amrket hard to shake out longs as he doesnt like compnay a market that comes to mind to me now is coffee Would't you see this in the volume? U do coffee rallied to 122 the other day and volume was heavy what does this mean the cm saw that the public was getting to long so what did he do he dropped it hard if coffee is bullish these levels will hold User [Mark /206.117.248.123] joined forum on Thu Jul 20 21:55:24 EDT 2000 u see this in both price action and volume zack please note wyckoff was a great beliver in Price action AND volume welocme Mark good evening if u see a mrket ralllting on light volume this should be a sign that soemthing may be wrong and the rally is of poor quality sometimes u can see the CM tracks by noticing that volume and price action dont jive Got it. so it is very important User [Name already in use /166.93.111.124] joined forum on Thu Jul 20 21:57:46 EDT 2000 to look for demand at support at resisatnce look for supply or selling the cm will wear and tear u he will frustrate u by keeping a market in a trading range and chop u up as u think it will break out silver is an example of this it has been in arange for 5 months but when it moves it will move BIG time agree please remeber the longer sideways the largr the move I mentioend gold may have a had a sc at 278 but I thought it may teest 276 but 278 is support as well and it reated well today so we will see Fridays are important days do u know why? and then he will sell from higher at a better price as wellso we buy the retest there in gold ? Dissregard So we buy retest in Gold Gary ? I think gold at the 2750278 area should be bought with a stop Volume was low today (Gold) fridays closes are important for 2 reasons 1) yes it was zack and that is why i think 276 may be retested friday shows a daily chart as well as it paints the WEEKLY chart next Friday is very important as it will show the Monthly chart daily chart and WEEKLY chart so please watch the time frames of charts k let me explain to u the role of the cm he will establish a postion he 'Knows" what the news will be but he needs the News to eventually to support his position how do we try to track what he :knows: with both volume and price action User [Nagual /209.214.0.165] joined forum on Thu Jul 20 22:06:23 EDT 2000 hi Nagual we cant change news it happens but we can track the CM good evening ,late but you knew it so we must watch what his intentioned are welcome to the morning class Nagual :) unr excused u wrote a note :) but as I have mentioned the Cm doesnt like company hey nagual yes Mr. fullet so he tries to disquise his moves and he does this by buy and selling and causing volitity so u the public gets confused he can buy a market and a large loss knowing in 2 months he will reap the rewards but in order for a amrket to make a large move 2 things must happen the CM HAS HIS POSITION on Wannabee a CM :) and then he times this move to pending news get lots of cash zack and savy and learn wyckoff ;) Have to sell my box of crackerjacks how can grains rally yet if the news is so bearish and no cause has been built on low volume today? Cm will seek out Demand but I think he is accumaulting but he needs time and then when he has his postion on I guareentee u he will Move the market so if u see a sharp rally in grains this will be the AR or automatic rally then a retest should be bought there is little cause iin the grians now remeber last week I mentioined beans and I mentioned that everyone was bearish that 450 was support but I thought they would spring it to the 443-440 area? yes y well it went there took out the sell stops and has rallied since several climnts were long at the 450 area and the stop was 442 3 /4 whew :) clients so sometimes underatnding markets action and behaviour mine was at 430 :( and the intention of the CM is critical 430 is good:) never went there november if u take a step back and understand what the market is saying u can underatnd the cm behavior but if u look at one day and get caught up emotionally U will NOT SUCEED that takes me to coffee the CM say that the volume was heavy gary so that second visit lower was a retest in beans at the 111-120 area yes Joe tell me, was the tick size in beans today indicate low volume in beans? mad at you the cm saw thw public getting long lol right so what did he do he made sure that thre small spec are out shake it volume was noot great in beans today\ reiestance 467 then 474 thought so sell, make em jump out User [Frank /63.160.52.181] joined forum on Thu Jul 20 22:20:18 EDT 2000 trend is down on beans so reiestance should be should but this is the AR so if the amrket turns up buy the retest retestof what point now 450 area k I thought coffee wuld hold the 10320 area but it wouldnt have suprised me if they took it under a psychlocal level at 98 area knowing that 94-96 was previous ice now support so the Cm made sure they weak longs are out if u bought coffe on the opening on that big gap day up the bst u would have bought is at 114 some weak longs got in on that ! lol u were rewarded when the close was 11905 but the weaker longs would mow be out ay 9700 because that is a 17 cent loss mot many people can sustain that so I would say that the cm killed the shorts killed the longs and now can take it the way the trend is and to me it is up remeber when I told u earlier markets tests and retest previous area ? yes well I would imagine that coffee will retest the 1220126 area that is what the CM does he tests and retest and he sees where demadn and supply is he sees where the funds and public will participate he doesnt care about money lost because he KNOWS he will profit u cant control fudamental news thye happen but u can track VOLUME and price action User [LaTEComer /172.159.195.128] joined forum on Thu Jul 20 22:26:21 EDT 2000 and how the big oys the CM reacts to it if ther eis bullish news and the market doesnt go up who do u think is selling it? The CM if bullish news doesnt attract buyers the CM sees this he is not going to buy just because he Thinks: it is going up he buys 'KNOWING the market is going up when the CM say too many longs in coffee what did he do? he sold easirly easily it is easy to get a great fill when u sell in a rising market and buy in a dclining market I will give u another tip on how u can track the CMs intention it is really not wyckoff per se but the cm creates this it is use of spreads and options the day where coffee was up 1800 points the call spreads in the 105-110 call spread lost money why? how an that be because the smart trader knew coffee was breaking and it broke 22 cents today call spreads in cooffee held up well this to me indicates bullishness lessser margin requirements in option and futures spreads so u need to watch this as well sometimes in a bullish market the CM will break thr market hard to discourage buyers and they will do this quickly why>? it is because they are bulllish and never liks to lose money even though they dont care shorterm so they break it hard discourage buyers then rally sharply but if they want to mark up prices rally them they will discourage buyers for ads long as possible if cooffee closes weak tomorrow how many longs do u think will go home long Not many i bet except smart money to me does this makes sense to u and thier role one must see the whole forest and not just the trees veery much it may seem like a bearish day nut longer term very bullish whyn they dont like company? coffee low 8400 high 120 we are in a range develpoing cause for the next mark up phase User [Name already in use /166.93.111.124] joined forum on Thu Jul 20 22:36:34 EDT 2000 shy pople nagual :) becaus eif they have too many longs who is is there sellng the market? he wants to markt up price for a long time before he alerts the funds and public the longe he waits and not alarms them the more profgit he will make when the funds start buying if the public gets wind of it he must sell to discourage them markets ALWAYS turn bearish after good news always turn bullish when News is breaish bearish contrarian it is the reaction: that we MUST identify if a market is bearish User [joe k /172.140.52.17] joined forum on Thu Jul 20 22:39:32 EDT 2000 that means that supply or selling has been occurring right bumped What if no news?
