How to Ride the Price Swing or Fractal Wave in Forex – Must Read

In this short article, we will share some practical tips to ride the price swings (or Fractal wave) in Forex and Stock market. Please read this article for your own good as it does not cost you anything. Forex trading is basically the decision making process over the market entry and exit. The most important variable you need to watch is the price. You need to watch how the price evolves with time. Hence, we will share the best way to calculate the market timing.

Step 1: open the chart. This is the first requirement for any trading. You need to see the price to learn what is going on in the market. Especially, when you apply the peak trough analysis in your chart, you will see lowest and highest points marked automatically. This lowest and highest points are basically the price swings happened in the past. You need use these price swings to read the market rhythm before making your trading decision.

Step 2: Look for the important horizontal support and resistance or diagonal support and resistance. In this example, we have drawn the horizontal support line for the visual illustration of this process. Marking up the support and resistance is simple task with peak trough analysis in your chart. Never underestimated them. It can takes as little time as 2 to 3 minutes to draw one or two important lines.

Step 3: Here is the most important part. As in our example, the price is heading to the horizontal support line, we need to assess how risky to take the reversal or breakout trading around this horizontal support line. Now we apply our turning point probability graph to assess our opportunity for reversal or breakout. Turning point probability will be measured between the point A and the point B. That is one price swing or fractal wave. Now let us have a look at the number.

From the turning point probability graph, at the point B, we can tell the followings:

the turning point probability in price is 38%
turning point probability in time is 37%
In another words, at the point B, we can tell the followings:

the trend probability in price is 62% (1 – 38%)
trend probability in time is 63% (1 – 37%)
Interpreting this probability, we can tell that the current price level is little bit immature to expect the reversal movement. If price go down further and it touches the horizontal support line, then we can tell the followings:

the turning point probability in price is 45%
turning point probability in time is unknown now. Depending on how fast or slowly price come down, it might go over 50%.
In Step 3 analysis, there are two important points for you to understand. Firstly, this trading opportunity is not entirely favoring the reversal trading. There are some cases which your chance for reversal trading is much higher comparing to the breakout trading chance. The step 3 analysis will usually help you to find out that. Secondly, since the certainty is not too high, this recommends you to position size carefully. In another words, you need to think about the mild position size rather than the big position size. Even more simply speaking, reduce the lot size for your forex trading. Then depending on the surrounding market condition, you can conditionally increase or reduce the position size. Checking the surrounding market condition is the final check up. If the surrounding market condition is not favoring your trading direction, it is good to skip this opportunity.

In long run, we recommend you to follow step 1, step 2 and step 3. Especially, step 3 is the most important analysis as you have the opportunity to access your risk in your trading. Typically, visualizing one’s trading decision is not an easy task. Hence, this article is not meant to provide the exhausted list of the analysis steps but use as only some base guideline. We hope you enjoy this short practical guideline. There are more educational articles in this link below.

It might be turning point opportunity or reversal opportunity. Around this Excessive momentum area, market is more predictable.

Applying Turing Point Prediction in Forex Market

In this article, we provide an explanation on how to apply the turning point prediction in Forex Market. Here we will be using Swing Size and Swing Age variable to identify the turning point probability for each price swing.

Swing Age is the count of candle bars from latest bar to the swing right end.
Swing Size is the count of candle bars from the swing right end to swing left end
As these two variable provides you the relative coordinate of the right end and left end of the price swing, you can locate the turning point value for each price swing. Check the screenshot to clarify your understanding.

In terms of application, the turning point prediction is useful as it quantifies your risk for trading between 0.0 and 1.0 (or 100%). Quantification in your trading is always good because you have something to stick as a guidance for your trading. When you do not have the guidance, you will often find that your emotion will ruin your trading.

There are two basic concepts in regards to the probability and some advanced concepts in regards to Mother Wave and Child Wave. For your own good, everyone should understand the basic concepts if you want to improve your trading performance in long run.

In the first basic concept, if the price reaches the turning point probability above 0.7 (or 70%), in this turning point probability range, you can look for the potential reversal opportunity. In another words, it is the good point to detect the directional change in the market. It could be either correction or global turning point.

In the second basic concept, if the price reaches the turning point probability between 0.0 and 0.5 (or 50%), you can find the good breakout opportunity. In another words, it is the good point to detect the continuation in the price movement. We will omit the advanced concepts here as it was already explained elsewhere.

If you do not have an access to the Turning Point Prediction, then it is fine as we provide the Turning Point Prediction for Forex Market for free. Anyone can access the standard turning point prediction for your day trading for free of charge from the link below.
