AMTRADE GROUP – TIME & CYCLES.

Learn why TIME is the most important aspect for all trading decisions.

Most traders view PRICE more importantly than TIME. Their entry will be determined by the price that they have identified as a part of the methodology that they use. If the trading decision is based on a Fibonacci retracement at a certain level, then Price will be the defined by that ratio as an entry point. Because technical indicators are based on Price and hence something that has already happened, then the indicator is inherently late. Whether it is a trend following system or an oscillator-based system, the methodologies are derived purely on PRICE, price that has already
occurred!

TIME on the other hand, is the only thing we know that’s exists in the now and will extend into the future. Time has an affect on Price, where as, Price has no effect on Time. What that basically means is that, the timing of the trade becomes more important than the price traded. If one adheres to the methodology of ‘profit forecasting’ and risk-reward strategies then TIME needs to be fully understood in its role of affecting Price. If one can find some factor, in that Time is forecastable, then related matters on Price can become a model of expectations for high probability trading scenarios.


3-PERIOD CYCLES and TRENDS.

Learn in detail the relationship of TIME and the Market Structure when using the 3-period TIME and CYCLE indicator. It doesn’t matter the Time frame used, whether Intra-day or higher, the same recurring patterns will always occur. When we combine the 3-period Cycle along with TIME, it will take the guesswork out of what the market will do.

This will enhance our ability to make ‘models of expectations’ based on the statistical phenonmena of repeated price action, providing us with the WINDOW INTO THE FUTURE we dearly seek!

SWING TECHNIQUES and TIME.

Learn why TIME provides the best swing methods in the market place for any stock or derivative. If TIME is the only thing that is forecastable, then using TIME and fibonacci ratios will provide you with high probability swing trades within each TIME cycle.
 

Above illustrates the projected move of the past week using TIME. When we use the past it then becomes a ‘model of expectation’ for the future. The chart on the left shows the daily bar charts inside a weekly range, and the chart on the right shows the intra-day 50 minute bars and the daily ranges that provide the ‘model of expectation for the future.

These moves are occurring all the time whether trading derivatives or equities over multiple timeframes.
