Hello, hope you be doing great!, regarding the lines, let me share:

1. The s/r, weak stop and reverse, pivot reverse, top of trading range, major s/r line, bottom of trading range, pivot reverse, weak stop and reverse and ultimate s/r they are nothing else but the Murrey Math Lines, for me the most important levels on Murrey are: Major Support/Resistance 4/8 and 8/8 (safe to trade and always in the money), Pivot reverse 2/8 and 6/8, Extreme OB +2/8 and Extreme OS-2/8.

This for me are most reliable levels, although all levels can be traded.

2. The Go Long, Breakout Up Level, Resistance/Support, Support/Resistance, Breakout Down Level, Go Short Level
this levels are camarilla levels, H4,H3,L3,L4 and other that is calculated by the surefirething website that i don't really know how they calculate them but surely they work. i use all of this altogether with my own strategy to make the most profitable decision like today the market went from one os this levels, 91.79 all the way up to my last (safe) level 93.75 that is 196 ticks move or $1960 on just one contract you do the math for 5 or 10 contracts depending your account size and protecting capital strategy....


Well i hope this help you in some way!.

Hi JD.... I have been looking at this thread from the beginning and have not posted anything in quite a while. I noticed in March and April, you seemed to firm up the horizontal lines on your charts and started placing labels on each. Some of your lines look like those I use: H/L of today, H/L of yesterday, Daily pivots, H/L of last 5 days, H/L of last 10 days.

My first question is are all of these lines automated and based on the current day as well as prior days?

Are your s/r, weak stop and reverse, pivot reverse, top of trading range, major s/r line, bottom of trading range, pivot reverse, weak stop and reverse and ultimate s/r based on prior support and resistance areas on longer term charts, fibs, pivot levels, etc?

how are the following lines constructed: long level, breakout up level, resistance/support, reverse short level, reverse long level, short level and breakout down level?

I am not asking how you trade these lines, just how they are constructed so I can compare to my lines. For example, I went long off of a pullback just above my daily pivot and my daily pivot looks like your "pivot reverse".

thanks in advance and I really enjoy reading your journal.

JD,

I trade based on vance's CL thread but found a few bits of this pretty interesting.
Can you explain a bit more on the 2 swings and the intersecting vertical line as a pinpoint entry method?
I like measured/math things especially in the Crude.

Thanks a lot,

That's very similar to a setup I use on CL. The key being a little flag or consolidation under a level after an prior attempt...

Then watch the DOM for some bergs or a buildup and burn through!

Here, i just have compiled some of the screenshots taken on my screen for some days of the past month of April using
the Smart Levels how the price interact with this levels is just amazing to me, you can confirm this levels using the Camarilla Pivots indicator using only the H4, H3, L3, L4 levels, you could find a difference by a tick or two.

For me is just "profitable" i have no other word to say it,

Enjoy!

JD

Hello, trading opportunities for today...

The levels keep doing a great job, also have found that at 11:00 AM EST, (I´M TWO HOURS BEHIND EST TIME, THAT IS WHY MY CHART SAYS 9:00 AM) half hour before and half hour after there is always a reversal that pays off, i have found that in a 85% of the time this is valid!!,

So i take 10:30 AM price and take note of it, when price arrives at 11:00 AM i wait till 11:30 if price is near a trading level for me, i take the trade waiting a reversal from original direction, in other words counter trend..

**This could be a bit risky** but it´s worth about 30-40 ticks.

Here it is.

JD
