F.A.Q’s and some Trading Tips
Please feel free to email your questions to us.
Q: Are some Market Pattern Forecast maps better than others? A: Every map will have some down days, but as a rule all of the Market
Pattern Forecast maps are uncannily accurate road maps of pending market
movement.
Q: What other functions do the Market Pattern Forecasts have? A: They are excellent for stop placement and personally have found them
very useful in waiting for better entry points. The way to increase trading
income is to eliminate losses and again the Market Pattern Forecast has often
stopped us from initiating a trade that ultimately would have been a losing
trade.
The Market Pattern forecasts indicates cycle
points: when Highs and Lows are expected to occur. Much of the design of the
program applies cycles. Depicting the cycles are the High points and the Low
points visible within the maps. We have applied static cycles of determined
lengths, as well as Fibonacci cycle projections; the latter being taking
measurements of cycles, multiplying by the Fib sequences (ie1.618) and
extrapolating them into the future. Keep your eyes on the extreme points to
initiate/exit trades. If the market moves into a high at a depicted high point,
and we are confirming a sell signal with other tools, higher probability exists
for a high at that point. If, however, the market instead moves into a low at a
defined high point, and our quantitative models are flashing a buy, then we
will initiate a long trade or close a short. The great thing about this is one
doesn't really care which extreme the market will move into at that point. The
cycles have been defined. It is then a simple matter of probability and
statistics- use of your technical indicators or math/stat calculated
measurements which will identify and confirm a depicted extreme point as either
a high or a low- the maps will then help to identify the angle and the duration
of the expected move from that extreme. If the market is NOT doing what it is
“supposed to”- you will see it, and know that it is probable that it is going
the other way. Cycle filtering gives us
extremely beneficial measurements that approximate the turning points. Of course, one must be on the lookout for
inevitable stop busting runs, and we allow a little wiggle room for those- the
market going higher beyond a depicted high point, or lower beyond a forecast
low point. Many times, if the market is
not doing what it is supposed to do, this tips us off that the cycle has inverted,
and we are aware- before the market opens- of places to be on our toes for this
occurrence, and prepare accordingly.
The Market Pattern Forecast identifies
points in advance for us, and looking at the behaviour of the markets in
relation to these points, we may elect not to trade until the time of day
depicted by the extremes.
Q: How should I use the Market Pattern Forecast?
A: This is a powerful tool, especially when used with other technical
systems, to help identify significant swings in any market.
Many times you will see the market follow
the Maps perfectly. Then, lets say a down move is just about complete, and the
Map shows an up move will follow soon. You cannot become too greedy to where
you think you can take every dollar out of the move. (See “Anticipation Moves”
in the Tutorial Section) With experience, at the risk of repeating myself, you
will see that at times of depicted highs/lows, some ‘stop busting’ type moves
may occur; quick moves to flush out weak hands. If the market does not come
back swiftly afterwards- then beware. Watch for things that look too perfect,
if they are then fine, but you will now be more prepared for planning what you
will do when faced with adversity as well as when it’s going your way. Many
days we observe a classic setup day (see “Tutorial" section), and a move
into a high point. The greatest thing about the Map is that, if the market were
to continue to follow perfectly, that high point shouldn’t be violated. If it
is violated, having the Market Pattern Forecast on those days helps. The market
may take off higher and never looks back. So, it is very important to pay
attention to the market action at those points. We like to call them inflection
points. It’s awfully nice to know when extremes are to come into play. This is
especially helpful for exiting trades. You will find there are certain
inflection points that will show themselves to you where you can see that the
market is planning on moving away from the point, or congestion complex- in a
big way. You can buy a breakout or sell a break, and will see that a very small
stop may be employed that will hold if it is a good trade. Those are fun
ones. You will learn these places after
following our research for several months. This is not something that you will
be able to discern on your first week, but in time, you should find that you
will never again wish to trade the markets without using this tool.
Q: Is the map infallible?
A: There is nothing infallible, but the map does identify a majority of
major moves. As a twenty-five year veteran pit trader in wheat and stock index
futures, I have found the map invaluable.
Once you watch it for anywhere from 3 to 12
months, you begin to see that even a “bad” map day still can keep you out of
trouble. There are subtle clues that you pick up from it after experience with
it.
Q: Should I follow every move predicted by the Market Pattern Forecast? A: The more you use the Market Pattern Forecast the more you will begin to
recognize the different formations, which the tutorial identifies. You do not
need to trade every move, but being aware of possible moves will give a serious
trader a powerful leg up. Set reasonable daily goals which can be raised later,
and put some profit in your pocket every day. Only trade more that day if
something dynamic appears.

Q: Are
Market Pattern Forecasts available for futures and commodities other than what
is offered.
A:
Maps can be formulated for any commodity future, index, equity or spread that
is actively traded, we only publish the SP, NQ, DJIA, RUS2K, EUR, GBP, DAX and
FTSE. We are offering ONE copy of the
software, along with one copy of the quantitative model (used by some top
firms) to one entity only: Cost is US$34M.
For a large hedge fund or brokerage; a small price to pay to level the
playing field. The quantitative model, used in-house, is being leased by more
than one of the largest entities in the world. The Market Pattern Forecast is
as well.
