To See What Others Cannot . . .

​You Must Change Your Perspective!

​The View of the Crowd is just that . . . 'their' view.

That common viewpoint forms up the so-called 'consensus' view of what 'reality' is for a market at any particular point in time. Essentially, the majority of market participants (and, a large group of manipulators) get to vote on what's happening and what's 'real' in any particular market. But, . . .

​What's Really Happening Out There?

To be able to discern what the masses cannot, we have to remove ourselves from the charts, time-frames and techniques of the everyday investors. Otherwise, how can we come to an objective conclusion unless we 'change our perspective' and take in the longer-view to form our conclusions?

 This is ​equivalent to looking ​far down the railroad tracks to see if a train is coming or not! We can do the same with charts.

The First Step: Get A Longer Time Perspective.

​The first way we can accomplish this is to change the time frame for the price charts we're looking at. If you're an intra-day trader working the 5-minute bars, you have far too much company doing exactly the same thing. You should, instead, consider pulling outwards in Time to, at least, the Hourly level bar or candlestick charts. 3-Hours would be even better.

Plot the charts at these new and longer-time frames and step back to observe what can be seen.

As you can see with the above 5-minute vs. the 3-hour charts, the 3-hour chart gives one important information that is just not obtainable from the 5-minute perspective of the market.​

This new time perspective will place you in a different place of judgment from the place that your trading competitors are making their decisions from. This is the first step in your process of discovery.

The Second Step: Use Unique Trading Techniques.

Your Next Step is to use non-conventional and unique chart analysis techniques (like those exclusive trading methods provided to our Clients).

Just as one should look at different charts than most traders do, one should analyze these charts using tools that the masses will never have access to. Successful techniques that are unknown except to a very specific and exclusive Group; a Group who have put in the effort in Time & Money to become successful at levels above and beyond those of other average traders.

The Final Step: Use Risk-Management Techniques.

Apply Risk Management to each trade one decides on and you'll have the 3-Critical Keys to finding profitable markets and exceptional trading opportunities.

I've written extensively on this topic over the years on this site and others. This is the critical common element to ALL trading successes. Do Not Let Losses Run. Take your losses earlier, not later. They never grow smaller if you need them to! You Must Manage Risk for every trade.

​Individual Courses Will Soon Become Unavailable

In order to provide a more complete trading method selection experience, I'll be consolidating most of the individual Courses over the coming weeks into Specific Application Collections (for example: A 'Simple System Secrets Collection', 'Intra-day Trader's Collection', 'Inner Secrets Collection' (Master Course), 'Complete Writings Collection', etc..).

Once this is finalized, no further individual Courses will be sold; they'll only be sold as part of an appropriate Collection or Set. This means that prices will rise considerably, thereby limiting access to these methods even more in the months or years ahead. However, as these Courses are targeted towards Professional Traders and Qualified Investors, then, this should not prove a difficulty for these groups.

Please don't e-mail me for details on the Collections as they're not finalized as yet. I'll post to this website when more details are available.

These will be the final days to purchase the separate trading Courses as, once the Collections are set up, all individual courses sales will cease.  - George

It Was Close, But, We’ve Survived The Monster Hurricane O.K.

​First, let me express my gratitude to the readers and clients who sent me e-mails of concern and well-wishes preceding our encounter with this Category 5 monster Hurricane. Your thoughts and concerns were and are very much appreciated.

Thank you all so much.

We were most fortunate to have been spared major damage and to have our power and internet restored within a day, (if intermittently for the present). 

Our thoughts and concerns rest presently with our neighboring Caribbean Islanders who have suffered great losses and also for those still in the path of this destructive storm in the days immediately ahead. 

Lessons to be Drawn from this Experience

Having spent many decades slowly extracting the Laws of Nature that are at the bedrock of the Markets, it's particularly impressive when Mother Nature herself brings the lessons right to one's doorstep.

Such was the case with the monster Hurricane named IRMA which came as close to us as possible without wiping us off the island like it did to so many others in St. Thomas, Barbuda, Anguilla, Tortola, St. John and more.

The lesson of the fragility of our physical world has been driven home these last few days. Many more are about to learn that lesson as well it seems if this storm continues on it's course to the US Mainland. I was 'invited' by Mother Nature to give some deep thought to just what I may have to sacrifice and what little I could carry should evacuation become necessary. It's became a very sober and Human Moment of Contemplation of what is truly important.

What's truly valuable and what's not? Decades worth of Research notes, charts and courses? Important, yes, but, Life & Health wins out the argument as primary in importance every time. Fortunately, this time, no sacrifice was necessary for  the sake of survival. But, it gives one pause over what could have been lost.

My main goal for my courses has been to gradually ​introduce Principles; Laws of Nature and Mathematics that apply to the Natural World as well as the Market World. It's been my intent that these Principles be learned, absorbed or understood at the most fundamental level so that a trader or investor could stand on their own where ever they found themselves and know that their skill was intact and as portable as they were. I want to pass this knowledge on to the next generation, two or three. I've been fortunate in that most of the Course Knowledge has found it's way into the hands of a few good folks scattered very thinly around the World.

Knowledge which has been well-absorbed and internalized is all we can carry with us under some extreme conditions. This very same piece of Wisdom was immortalized in Ancient days and expressed within the Latin phrase 'Omnia mea mecum porto' (All that's mine, I carry with me.).

I hope that, you also, give this phrase some thought and gain appreciation for the skills you have and the relationships you hold dear. In the end, the material things dim before these greater things.

Thank you again for your support and well-wishes. I hope to reply to all e-mails in the next day or so. - George

We Take A Brief Pause Now for Hurricane Irma . . .

There's ​likely to be an interruption of postings, e-mail and internet services over the next days as Hurricane Irma bears down on us here on the island of St. Croix.

​Anyone with an order already submitted will be given a downloadable version of their Course while awaiting for air-shipping services to resume over the next few days (hopefully). This will enable you to get started immediately while awaiting the printed version of the materials.

You should have these downloads by this afternoon. Hopefully, we'll be back online again soon. 

Best wishes to you all, George

Watch For A GOLD Market Breakout . . .

There's been a lot of talk lately about rising GOLD prices, however, my analysis indicates that we haven't quite crossed the necessary price threshold needed to enter a real Bull Market in GOLD.

The important price resistance barrier to keep our eyes on is the one at $1336. 

​GOLD has been in a sideways channel since March and, only broke out to the upside this last week. A lasting momentum will be confirmed with a Closing price for Spot GOLD at $1336 or Higher. - George

What’s Replacing the Lost Value of the US Dollar?

While others debate "What is a currency?"; Bitcoin has more-than-compensated and handsomely profited all on it's own. ​

Bitcoin's actions have already defined itself, just as the US Dollar is re-defining itself by going lower and lower in value.

Back To Our Price Pivot Point!

TRADING THE US DOLLAR: WATCH-POINT!

USD2This last week provided a little dance-stepping routine above our calculated pivot price point of 94.80 which we wrote about last week.

As we were looking for a Weekly Price Close below 94.80 as further confirmation of weakening and didn’t find ourselves there on Friday last, we stood back and waited for the dance to work out it’s routine.

As expected, price bounced around on the dance floor but found itself coming back to where it began the week before. Price seems well poised to close this Friday below the pivot price of 94.80. If price does close below this price point, expect to see the US DOLLAR begin to drop out of it’s trend-less zone and start a new downtrend that should last weeks if not months. – George

US Dollar Pivot Turn Precisely Predicted

The US DOLLAR: Target Achieved!

Last week’s post on the US Dollar was ‘spot on’ for the turning point of 94.80.

usdWhat we accurately predicted was the support price for the present US DOLLAR, became the turn point where the Dollar gathered new strength for another move upwards.

The week’s close shot up away from this critical price point after touching it mid-week briefly. This is another reminder that we need to allow for some momentum within the price trends and not to depend too much on shorter-term price swings. This same support price of 94.80 will hold for this week as it did last week.

This, in case buying starts to falter again. As I’ve discussed in earlier posts, such critical price pivot areas are excellent, low-risk areas to counter-trend trade as long as one employs close STOPS close on the other side of the pivot price point. These are the prime BUY areas for market makers working within the sideways trend for the US DOLLAR at present. – George

Forex Trading: Watching The US Dollar

 

Forex Trading & The US Dollar: A Price Pivot Point

usdollarThe majority of forex pairs consist of the US DOLLAR as one of their components.

Even though the US Dollar strengthened considerably two years ago, it’s important to realize that it has basically been in a sideways market for the last year now.

Like all sideways markets, this has favored market makers mostly who, buy the dips and sell the rallies.

By tracking the strength of this market with the 45° support angle (and other course techniques), we’ve been given some signals of weakness that need to be watched most closely.

Should prices close below 94.80 on the Weekly, we will have good confirmation that a downtrend will be underway that will likely last months or even a year plus. – George

Financial Headlines Lead Traders Astray

FINANCIAL HEADLINES EMBELLISH FACTS AND MISLEAD TRADERS

Today’s financial reading was much of the same foggy speculation, but, even so, I found it irresistible to point out one particular article’s lead headline (source mentioned on the chart) which went: “

“Silver Soars As The Dollar Dumps Most In A Year . . .”

This headline’s effect (on those less mindful than those of you who frequent this website) was to stampede traders to buy and sell the markets mentioned.

The operative emotional trigger keywords were ‘Silver Soars’ and ‘Dumps Most in a Year. Our approach on this website is to dispel BS using the pure reality of the price chart as our ‘magic glasses’ to see what’s really going on.

Let’s look at the Daily chart for Silver to crosscheck the ‘Silver Soars’ statement:

unbelieveable1

All charts are for educational use only. This is not an advisory to buy or sell.

As the chart above shows, this ‘Silver Soars’ headline is a NON-EVENT on a daily chart of silver prices. That lonely green bar is supposed to change our minds about the solid, months-long DOWNTREND?

I think not.

How about the US DOLLAR then?

So sad to hear that it “crashed by the most in over a year today.”

That sure sounds like a heck of a slide. It must be a massive red line on the chart then, yes?

NO!

Instead we look at a US DOLLAR chart and see this . . .

unbelieveable2

All charts are for educational use only. This is not an advisory to buy or sell.

 Take a few moments to look at the dollar chart above, because, if you don’t take your time, you’ll probably miss the great ‘dollar crash’ they’re writing about!

Now, I know that the writer is referring to the percentage move, but, that’s not the implication of the headline as written. What was written ended up being extremely misleading and alarmist.

Obviously, when one goes and investigates for themselves just what the markets referred to are doing, the exaggeration of events in these headlines stands out and begs the question of ‘how can events be so mis-written?’

We can just call it poor writing due to inexperience. That’s the kindest assessment we can make. The other alternative is more likely but will go unwritten at this time.

Does someone want traders to Buy Silver and Sell the Dollar?

Those that followed such headline suggestions would find themselves on the opposite side of two very strong price trends leading to likely losses and profiting those trading with the stronger trends and taking the very opposite positions suggested for others.

The bottom-line for us as traders and investors is familiar; we must check all opinions heard or read against the reality of the price chart. In this case the ‘greater fool’ would be someone who jumped and reacted to these headlines.

Examine the charts and provide yourself with tools to better ‘foolproof’ oneself from speculative opinions. George

coverthumbTake some time to examine some of the testimonials from purchasers of the Excalibur Method analysis technique.

This method and the advanced techniques included within the proprietary Harrison-Gann Trade Secrets Master Course are needed more than ever to locate and  harvest the many opportunities that come with ‘interesting times’ of financial volatility.

I’m selling only a few more copies of the Excalibur Method before the end of this year and am accepting a few new students for the Master Course. E-mail me for details and availability if you wish to avail yourself of this hard-won market information. Thanks. George
