[@Carlos-kt1wo]

As simple as this looks, this is what underlies every chart reading… indicators must be interpreted in light of the above. For example, MOST oscillators are useless in a trend because they will be at either extreme depending on the direction of the trend. Something else that needs to be kept in mind is that oscillators are timing indicators - some newbie traders tend to use them as indicators of trend changes

[@TraderDale1]

Yes, I agree with you. That's why I try to make videos here to make the whole situation easier to explain.

[@robertvasilescu3326]

I like when all those kids traders try to teach you how the market wheels are working when they don't have $100 in their pocket. So, you tell the zone exactly on the spikes where to enter in a trade which is almost impossible for humans to do that. The newbies traders need some confirms zones before to go in the market so in this way your Entry "strategy" is going wrong but the way how you divide the market in 3 big sections I like it. good job for intermediary traders but not for newbies.

[@meleberwein4410]

[@TraderDale1]

From four to five consecutive candles we can talk about rotation in the chart

[@PlayMasters369]

in theory it look possible but in actual market i can't decide when the candle will move in any other direction, it looks like i am always guessing

[@TraderDale1]

I recommend you to download my book Volume profile, where I have a lot of sample trades at the end of the book, which could help you in your decision making ... Free download link here : www.trader-dale.com/volume-profile-book/

[@PerZetterberg-o4z]

I am not sure about the aggressive sellers to push price down. It is enough for the collective buyers only aggreeing to buy at lower prices.

[@SteveWeber-gx7tx]

What you are saying plays a part in keeping a move going. But aggressive selling always initiates the move…plus, those same aggressive sellers continue selling on the way down.

[@TraderDale1]

Yes you are right, great answer 🙏

[@PerZetterberg-o4z]

@@SteveWeber-gx7tx Why do sellers continue to sell at lower prices? When they have filled their order they dont sell any more. Instead passive and huge sellers fill their ordes with limit orders and for that they need willing buyers.

How are you trading the first 3 points in a rotation without hindsight? Until 3 points to form a range, it looks like a normal pullback in a trend. There is no way you are trading the first peak.

Trending, volatile, sideways

[@TraderDale1]

Yes!!

[@vldostr3424]

The problem is that nobody really knows if a certain area is a rotation or if its a rejection or if its a trend!!! These things are apparent only AFTER the fact... Therefore its next to impossible to say that you should sell the top areas of rotation or buy lower areas of rotation because you don't know until after the chart is formed but then its too late. That why this is NOT a dependable way to do things.... ;). Trust me.

[@TraderDale1]

Yes, that's why I give my members a preview of the markets every day in the group, so they can see how I create levels for the market... To show them how I discover them.

The steps I shared aren’t a ‘magic trick’ but are meant to show a repeatable process to quickly analyze charts with confidence.

8 sec trick requires 14 mins ... !? Pattern & trend identification of up/down/stagnate Longer time frame low loss Shorter frame volatile price Can be used for on all charts - we cannot foresee future - good for what has happened The side zone crosses you can go that way 😅 No chnace it will be 50% opportunity

[@TraderDale1]

Thanks for pointing that out! I know the “8-second trick” title can sound quick and easy, but understanding and applying patterns and trends effectively does take a bit more time to explain thoroughly. The goal is to provide a solid foundation for recognizing patterns and managing volatility across different time frames, which isn't always a simple, one-size-fits-all solution. It’s true that no method guarantees a 50% win rate, but with careful risk management and experience, these techniques can help improve decision-making. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

[@figh761]

Unfortunately AMDX is an indicator and this advice is for people who don't want to use the indicator

[@tomlewis632]

You forgot the wedge. And I know you are a VP guy, but most of the time for me, it is not that helpful. The POC is mostly at the biggest rotations. And the limits of the high and low are usually at PH and PL. with other levels being Support and Resistance. I find the anchored VWAP better.

I encourage beginners to approach trading with caution, patience, and continuous learning. Your perspective is a valuable reminder for everyone!
