Alias,
When you chose your entry position, was it a shot-in-the-dark kind of thing based on price returning to the origin of the green-circled D1 candle, or was there something deeper behind your decision? Or were you just hoping for a lucky position to start managing your SPACE & POSITION from?

Thanks

It was a counter trend move based on the weekly candle showing a strong rejection and the daily moving back to a zero-line. Picking counter trend moves that become new trends is tough, playing with the trend is easier.

Nice illustration, but you did kind of bias it to make the midpoint look better by having equal ranges :)

But actually how you biased it so it would create a horizontal line is the reason why I chose a step chart. So you fade out the bars/candles in the background and then look at the step chart horizontal line which price stays near, than you have a stable price for making decisions (and can still make a discretionary call if you see wicks beyond it)

You could come up with whatever method you want for how the step chart gets created...I'm looking at closes beyond an extreme by a certain number of pips (to factor out small changes)

Same chart but this time I want to see at least 30 pips (from the last created horizontal line)(remember PnF?) and a close beyond an extreme before bumping the chart up/down:

The market moves in deceptive ways, So I'm trying to remove some of the deception...but it's not removed, just faded out in the background

"How about market makers are accumulating positions throughout the entirety of the "consolidation" period/range
before they make their next move to get the profit from their acquisitions.


The midpoint being their average price of accumulation.
(not jumping to MO's defense, per se, just someone's perspective that I've been reading/listening to/considering lately.)"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The professionals aren't the ones with the average prices, I think it's more likely showing where the intermediate "average traders" positions are from. (But depends on what kind of TF we are talking about)
