Thxfortheticks

I have a question regarding your chart with the leg that has a blue line. If price is going down how is the blue leg down the leg we are retracing right now? Wouldn't the leg that brought us up in price be the leg we would be retracing ? Also I just found this site and getting caught up on your posts. I'm really enjoying this far . Thanks in advance

@Thxfortheticks,

The blue leg is the leg we are retracing, that's the leg we look to to identify levels for the current move up.

"If price is going down" How do we know price is starting a new leg down? Maybe it is just bouncing off support and continuing upwards (yellow line)?

Here's the thing, we can never really "know" when it comes to trading. There is no certainty. What we can do as traders is estimate the probabilities of moves and play the probabilities.

As you get better at identifying levels, accum/distr, and momentum progression, you will be able to estimate the probabilities with greater clarity.

Here is some further reading on legs specifically:

Yes, I believe so. Always start with bigger timeframe to see which leg we are tracing and then zoom on hourly timeframes. To Loool for the leg segment to the left. Hope that helped. Please ask if you need clarification

I understand how to locate and trade the first touches as they have very high probability, but is there a way to know how big the Pop/drop would be? Whe it pops/drops because of a news event it often disregards all of the levels, how does one know how far the Pop/drop move will take us?

Depends on the accum / dist process and the significance of the higher time level hit

Excuse this poorly drawn example lol, but this is what is meant by the left leg:

A is the leg down, B is the leg up.

The B leg is retracing the A leg upwards, and will respect levels from A on the way back up.

We can never know with certainty how big a pop or drop will be.

The larger the timeframes, the larger the moves on average.

Kewltech makes reference to "...the wider the base, the larger the space", maybe dive deeper into that?

("Wider the base, larger the space" mentioned in both articles above)

Perfect explanation! I always start with bigger timeframes to get a general idea and then zoom in. It is worth noting that there are always legs within legs that have levels as well.
