big pippin, I wish you well with your trading. As for me, I can not possibly add anything to someones trading journey who exults themselves as drawing great forks and doing such great analysis.

ShanB, Some very good questions, I hope my answers are just a good. On any given chart you look at, one can find many cycles at play. The task as a trader is to find the heart beat of the time frame you are trading. Use the eye test: open a chart ...

BigPippin, I opened up a euro chart and tried to walk through my first thoughts on a blank chart. Not sure if it will help you or hinder you and it is by no means complete. Just some things I look at when beginning to mark up a chart.

just a few thoughts — I have read the comments posted and and have seen the charts attached over the past several pages. A few thoughts have danced in my head that perhaps will help though they my hinder some of you. Not in any particular ...

Shane, In my humble opinion, we all have a bias in our trading. If you can say, for instance, "median lines show us the most probable path of price," you have a "bias." I think it is important to realize you have a bias and trade accordingly. ...

Shane, I use Andrews pivot counts on every chart I use, irregardless if it is time, tick, or range bar based. The euro has been a sassy little wench lately. There is one alternative count I have been toying with (marked on a snag of your chart) but ...

Indeed familiar with the handle and work of joed. When it comes to traveling the wrinkles in time, one collects tools along the way just like tools for price. My own particular journey of time has taken me down some interesting paths whether it be ...

ShanB, On rare occasion I did post a chart or two over the years at marketgeometry. As for bias...it depends on the particular account I am trading. If I am swing trading from an one, two or four hour chart, I do some work on the dailies and ...

I am not sure where I came across the story that Babson worked for a time with an MIT educated engineer named George F. Swain. It was there Babson saw some stock charts that had a line drawn through price action and noticed how the swings of price ...

You may think time study does not work on "range bars without time,"but they can be used. Just because you can't doesn't mean someone else can't. I can and do use time oriented studies on range, tick, and even point and figure charts. fwiw, xt

The Element of Time in Trading

There are some other resources you can use. Tim has a website where his articles are archived along with a cleaned up version of Andrews' original course. Well worth the read if you are a self learner. I can not imagine what lies behind the curtain ...

aux, A very nice chart. I had one line, you didn't that helped me to get in this morning for a nice ride on the runaway elevator. fwiw, xt

Many years ago there was a yahoo group called the time-price research project. Not sure it is still available, but if it is, a worthwhile endeavor to take a journey through. A word of caution though, wear a hat to catch the pieces when you head ...
