How to Identify the Best Buy and Sell Timing


Trading is practical. We trade to make the profits from our trading. Hence, if you are a trader, the most important question to ask is “How do you make profits by trading?”. Say that you and your friend bought the same stock. However, your result can be completely different from your friend. Even if both of you bought the same stock, you could still lose money whereas your friend made money. What makes the difference between you and your friend? It is the entry timing. In another words, the most important factor behind the successful trading is to know the best entry in our trading. This timing question is something that every trader should and must ask. In fact, we can formulate the answer to this question from the market cycle point of view. The simple answer is that this image can visualize such a winning opportunity.


Figure 5-1: Conceptual drawing to demonstrate best buy entry

Say that EURUSD or Bitcoin have the large cycle and small cycle. Your best buy opportunity will be in the area where both small and large cycles are boosted together shown as the dotted line in the image. That is the thin intersection where both short term trader and long term trader are jumping in together. However, this is where most of average traders are stop thinking beyond. There is one problem in this image although its concept is perfectly sound. The problem is that the market does not have the regular cycle, which we can track its peak and trough with fixed time interval as in the sine curve of the Physics text book. Hence, this image is only educational to conceptualize the best buy entry. If it was like that, the money making in Forex or Stock market would have been so much easier buying EURUSD on Monday low and selling at Friday high something like this or similar. In fact, what makes us hard is that the market cycle is not regular but it is stochastic.


Figure 5-2: Market cycle in EURUSD D1 timeframe

Market cycle is irregular. Sometimes, price moves in slow cycle and sometimes price moves in fast cycle. Sometimes price swings around big amplitude and sometimes price swings around only small amplitude. It is the observations we can make every day in Forex and Stock market, the fuzzy and dirty cycles instead of the clean sine curve. Hence, any technical analysis that does not consider this uneven and rough surface of the market is not effective to predict the market.


Figure 5-3: Fractal cycle demonstration

The good news is that understanding the fractal wave can help us to predict the market tremendously. It is because fractal wave is the tool that is theoretically designed to work with price data with many uneven cycles. Unlike the fractal wave, many other tools will suffer more with more number of uneven cycles in the price data, for example, like the normal distribution and other cyclic methods designed to operate with regular cycles. Hence, fractal wave is the best tool to predict the fuzzy and dirty cycles in Forex and Stock market. Theoretically, it is one of the best tool to model stochastic cycles in the Forex and Stock market too. The peak trough analysis is the important first step as it visualizes the fuzzy and dirty cycles in the readable form for us. Therefore, the technical analysis making good use of this peak trough analysis is the important tool to predict the market.

Now going back to the entry timing question, how can we catch the moment where the small and large cycles are boosted together using the technical analysis? Although the technical analysis is the good tool to predict the stochastic cycle, it still does not imply that they are designed to capture the multiple cycles. In fact, the answer is pretty straightforward. Catching the timing where the small and large cycles are boosted together can be done by combining two or more techniques to gauge your entry instead of just using one single technique. Combining two or more technical analysis is a good trading strategy as in practice we might need to capture the intersection for more than two cycles. Technically speaking, when you use multiple techniques, you have a high chance to capture the best entry.

In addition, using two or more chart timeframe could add some value to improve your trading performance too. Good mixture of the technical analysis and the chart timeframe will yield the fruitful results. Hence, if you want to become a successful trader, then training and practice are a must requirement. Here is one final note. As the market consists of the probabilistic cycles, your outcome is not going to be bullet proof. Therefore, you should trade with the high probability setup. You need to understand that trading is about quality and not about quantity. In addition, identifying the best sell entry is exactly the same as identifying the best buy entry. We just need to look for the intersection where both small and large cycles are falling together using the two or more technical analysis.

Profitable Patterns in Financial Market

Price is the data recorded by financial exchange. The financial exchange distributes this real time price to trader electronically during market hours. Then trader will make buy or sell decision depending on their perception of the latest price. If they feel the price is low, then they will buy the currency or stock. If they feel price is too high, then they will sell the currency or stock. Once thing we need to know is that diversified reactions exists about good buying and selling price. We can have millions of different opinions about 200 dollar stock price for Facebook today. Some people will think that 200 dollar is good price to buy and some people will think the opposite. Some people might be neutral. Next price of Facebook will be determined by trading volume of buy and sell orders. If buy-trading volume is dominating over the sell-trading volume, then price will go up. If sell-trading volume is dominating over the buy-trading volume, then price will go down. You can think that each price recorded is in fact the record of the crowd reaction.

For our analysis, financial exchange also records the series of price in regular time interval like hourly, daily, or weekly, etc. Sometimes they record tick-by-tick data. They electronically store these historical data and distribute them to traders. Then trader uses these historical data to draw chart for further analysis of the price. In modern electronic trading environment, it is very rare to make buy and sell decision without looking at chart. Price series contain complex information. If we want to find out any useful information from price series, then we need to work backwards from price series into whatever information we need to seek. Extracting useful information from price series typically requires some mathematical tools.

Depending on what is our question, we need to apply different tools to exam price series. For example, if you want to know the common statistics for Facebook stock price, then you can calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation of the price series. If you want to find out good cycles to trade, then you need to apply Fourier transformation or some sort, to extract the cycles of Facebook price series. Likewise, if we want to find out profitable patterns, then we need to apply Peak Trough transformation or some sort to the price series. When we apply Peak Trough Transformation, we turn price series into the infinitely repeating triangles, which are called Fractal wave. Typically, Zig Zag indicator and Renko chart are used to turn price series into fractal wave.


Fractal or Fractal wave is commonly observable in nature like snowflake, in tree leaves, in heartbeat rate, in coastal line. Hence, many traders believe that the identifying profitable patterns in price series are the same as spotting natural order. By definition, Fractal wave is infinitely repeating self-similar patterns in time domain. The main regularity in Fractal wave is the shape of the pattern. Typically, this shape of pattern is referenced for some geometric shapes like triangle, circle, square, etc. In Fractal wave, we can have both strict self-similar and loose self-similar patterns. If the repeating patterns have the same geometric shape and all individual patterns have matching parameters in that shape, we call this as strict self-similarity. If repeating patterns have the same geometric shape but majority of individual patterns have non-matching parameters in that shape, then we call this as loose self-similarity. Fractal wave in Forex and Stock market price series have triangle as the geometric shape. However, individual triangle can be wider, narrower, longer, and shorter than other triangles. Hence, Fractal Wave in Forex and Stock market data possess the loose self–similarity. Loose self-similarity does not mean that all the triangles are non-identical in shape. Even in loose self-similarity, we can have some triangles in identical shape or at least within allowed range in precision.


First important characteristic of fractal wave is the infinite scales. In theory, repeating triangles in forex and stock market can have infinite variation of scales from very small to extremely large triangles. For example, one day we can observe one triangle formed in thirty seconds but another triangle can be formed in thirty days. In our pattern study, scale is an independent factor from geometric shape. As long as triangles are identical in shape, or within allowed range in precision, triangle formed in thirty seconds is treated as identical to the triangle formed in thirty days, regardless of their size. For some practical example, Fibonacci price pattern with 61.8% retracement formed in twenty-candle bar in hourly timeframe is an identical pattern to the other 61.8% retracement pattern formed in thirty six candle bar in daily timeframe.


Second important characteristic about Fractal wave pattern is that many small pattern are jagged together to make bigger patterns. For example, in triangular fractal wave as in financial market, bigger triangle will be made from many small triangles. In our pattern study, we often seek this sort of jagged patterns for our trading opportunity. Especially, in Harmonic pattern, Elliott Wave patterns, and X3 patterns, this sort of jagged pattern are commonly utilized to find the profitable patterns with good success rate.

Better way of using Elliott Wave

The advantage of support and resistance is that it can go well with many of trading strategies. Having good support and resistance tools are probably the prime importance for the good trading performance nowadays. Of course, the performance of Elliott wave can be improved marginally when they are combined with good support and resistance tools.

Here is the short article explaining about how to use support and resistance together with Elliott Wave Patterns.

Fibonacci Price Patterns


A Fibonacci analysis is a popular tool among technical traders. It is based on the Fibonacci sequence numbers identified by Leonardo Fibonacci in the 13th century. The Fibonacci sequence numbers are:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, …………………

As the Fibonacci number become large, the constant relationship is established between neighbouring numbers. For example, every time, when we divide the former number by latter: Fn-1/Fn, we will get nearly 0.618 ratio. Likewise, when we divide the latter number by former: Fn/Fn-1, we will get nearly 1.618. These two Fibonacci ratio 0.618 and 1.618 are considered as the Golden Ratio. We can use these Golden ratios to start our Fibonacci analysis. However, many technical traders use additional Fibonacci ratios derived from the Golden ratio. Since the calculation of each Fibonacci ratio is well known, I have listed all the available Fibonacci ratio calculation in Table 6.1.


In fact, Fibonacci pattern analysis in financial trading is extremely popular. As with support and resistance analysis, Fibonacci analysis is probably the most popular technical analysis among traders. There are two important techniques in Fibonacci analysis. First technique is Fibonacci retracement. Second technique is Fibonacci expansion. In fact, former is just one triangle pattern and latter is two triangle patterns. Hence, you can consider these two as Fibonacci price patterns. These two price patterns share the identical concept to the retracement ratio and expansion ratio.

There are two important points in regards to Fibonacci patterns. Firstly, you need to spot swing high and swing low in price series to identify Fibonacci price patterns. The easiest way of doing this is just to apply Peak Trough Transformation using either ZigZag indicator or Renko chart. Therefore, you start with predefined swing points in your chart. Secondly, Fibonacci retracement technique will concern one triangle that is two price swings. Fibonacci expansion technique will concern two triangles that are three price swings. Most importantly, calculation of Fibonacci retracement and expansion is identical to the retracement ratio and expansion ratio calculation in RECF notation. Sometimes, we might use percentage format instead of decimal format. However, two quantities are the same. For example, the Golden ratio 0.618 is the same as 61.8%.

Let us start with Fibonacci retracement example. For simple example, we use 61.8% Golden ratio. For retracement, we can have two cases including bullish (Trough-Peak) retracement and bearish (Peak-Trough) retracement. In bullish retracement, 61.8% retracement level will act as a support level. Price will reverse in the correction phase to follow the previous bullish movement. In RECF pattern definition, 61.8% bullish retracement can be expressed as below:

R0 = 0.618 = Right swing of first triangle / Left swing of first triangle


Likewise, in bearish retracement, 61.8% level will act as resistance. Price will reverse in the correction phase to follow the previous bearish movement. In both case, the 61.8% retracement will be measured from end of correction phase to previous peak or trough. We have used percentage in this example. Some technical traders prefer to use the ratios in decimal places like 0.618. It is just your preferences. Using ratio or percentage does not affect the accuracy of trading. In RECF pattern definition, 61.8% bearish retracement can be expressed as below:

R0 = 0.618 = Right swing of first triangle / Left swing of first triangle


You can use other Fibonacci ratios like 0.382 or 1.618 in the exactly same way as 0.618. Some traders use secondary Fibonacci ratios in addition to the primary ratios.

Fibonacci expansion is slightly more complicated than Fibonacci retracement because it concerns two triangle (i.e. three price swings). As in retracement technique, we can have two cases including bearish (Trough-Peak) expansion and bullish (Peak-Trough) expansion. In bearish expansion, we will measure the expansion from where the correction ends to next peak. In the next peak, we will expect the bearish reversal in the same direction to the correction. In fact, the 100% Expansion level is act as the resistance in Figure 6-3. Likewise, in bullish expansion, we will expect the bullish reversal in the same direction to the correction. In Figure 6-4, 61.8% expansion level acts as the support. In RECF pattern definition, 61.8% bearish and bullish retracement can be expressed as below:

E0 = 0.618 = Right swing of first triangle / Left swing of second triangle

From above page, you will get access to the turning point prediction for Forex market including EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, BTCUSD, ETHUSD and so on. In fact, most of statistical predictions are not compatible with the actual trading strategy used by the real world trader. However, the turning point probability (and also the trend probability = 1 – turning point probability) is useful because the predictions were measured from the Fractal Wave. Remember that fractal wave is the direct representation of price action. For example, Support, Resistance, Fibonacci Ratio Analysis, Harmonic Pattern, Elliott Wave Theory, X3 Chart Pattern, Symmetric Triangle Pattern, Rising Wedge Pattern, Falling Wedge pattern, Double Top, Double Bottom, Channel, Renko Chart and so on are such technical analysis derived from Fractal Wave. You can consider the turning point probability as the quantified version of the price patterns. Hence, using the turning point probability with these price pattern is really beneficial in assessing the trend strength and risk for your trading. Especially, we recommend using the turning point probability together with any horizontal support resistance. For example, you can use the hand drawn support resistance, supply demand analysis, round number (=psychological number), pivot analysis, Fibonacci analysis, and so on. I am sure you can think of many horizontal support and resistance of your own.

In the second step, you can visualize the turning point probability and Fibonacci Analysis with this free Market Prediction tool from our website or from google drive. Anyway, you will get the same files.

Scan Supply Demand Zone Across All Timeframe

In Ace Supply Demand Zone indicator, you can scan the supply and demand zone across all timeframe for your Forex trading. This is a powerful feature included in Ace Supply Demand Zone indicator. Controlling the Multiple Timeframe scanning is similar to our other MetaTrader products like Harmonic Pattern Plus or X3 Chart Pattern Scanner. You can control them from the inputs under the Multiple Timeframe Scanning. With the inputs, you can enable or disable multiple timeframe scanning. You can also choose to switch on or off specific timeframe from your dashboard. In addition, you can also control how frequently the indicator should scan. The default value for update frequency is M5 timeframe. However, you can use M1 for update frequency if you need to scan them more frequently.

If you enabled email or push notification in the inputs under General Setting, then you can also receive the alert for the detected supply and demand zone as well as the touched supply and demand zone. The thing you need to understand about multiple timeframe scanning is that it requires multiple computation too per each timeframe. The computation can be heavier up to 7 times or more when you enabled M1 to D1 timeframes. Hence, due to data loading issues, the calculation might be stuck sometimes. In that case, just click Show button to refresh all the calculation. Of course, it is possible to switch off the multiple timeframe scanning if you only want to trade one timeframe.
