Japan 225

Best Times To Play The Markets, Swing Trader Perspective.Here we have a chart of Nikkei 225 index on a 3 day chart. Nothing is more powerful than identifying potential trend reversals, notice that I said "potential". Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to trading, you will never be 100% winning in the markets. The only edge that you have when it comes to trading is identifying trend accumulation, distribution and risk management following an overall trend. If you apply S&R to a 5 min chart vs 1 week chart, which ones levels do you think will play a more valid role in the markets? The weekly will 100%! You better be a trained professional and have a good track record of experience if you think you're just going to show up to work everyday and try to scalp every single little move sitting in front of the monitor 24/7. I personally 100% believe the big picture is where it all counts. I believe the proper way to trade the markets is to use it as an investment vehicle to work for you over time. This is why on most of my charts you will see I'm a fan favorite of the daily chart and up. These timeframes are critical to identifying the major trends in the markets. You will be chasing your tail more than anything in a 5 minute timeframe and most likely realize why trading has such a high failure rate. Let the trade come to you! If you can learn how to manage risk and not let a bad trade get away from you, then you are already one major step ahead of the pack of failing retail traders. You see... this understanding to cut loss quick is more important than anything you will ever learn from the markets. The mentality of most retail traders is the famous "I want to get rich fast" mentality. When a trade goes against them, most have a tendency to hold onto that position with hope's to recover... this is how most blow their accounts. A lot of traders with this mentality tend to think they need to borrow money that they don't have from their broker, as if having more working capital will get them richer faster. If you can't trade with $25 in your account, chances are you probably don't need to use $25,000 to trade with. Most traders learn to become impatient with the market and use the lowest of timeframes where most of the noise in the markets occurs. Are their success stories of traders that made it as daytraders? ABSOLUTELY! I'm sure they went through years of training and learned to correct their failures. You can't let the markets beat you up if it goes against you and call it quits. You have to stay consistent and let every failure become a valuable learning lesson. It's going to take time, this is one of the hardest jobs on the planet if you choose to make it hard. ---------- So what do I look for? Like I said above I focus on trend trading from a technical analysis stand point. Observe the candles on the chart above. Green is buy pressure and red is sell pressure. Big bricks stronger pressure and compression doji bricks are weakened pressure. My goal at the end of the day is to look for the trend transitions at points of exhaustion. Notice how at the bottom of the crash the bricks began to compress to form a doji that shifted green, That's my transition. Look below and see the ema dots then also shot green and the custom rsi left oversold territory. That is your opportunity. You will manage your risk at these turning points. If you take a small hit and get stopped out, oh well. You managed risk and didnt let a trade get away from you. You can't control the market, you can only walk with it and not let your ego get in the way of trading. Now you see that we have tight compression forming up top of this major trend reversal from the bottom. Ema dots going red and the custom rsi is shifting down from overbought territory. These are the ideal times I look to trade. If I drop down to a daily I see that we have a valid Resistance level as price rejects off of it based off previous level. Will this Resistance hold strong to selloff? Who knows! The market makers will create the next move, not you. You have to play both sides when the time occurs. That Resistance is my edge. Price goes up and price goes down. In order for the price to go up or to go down it needs to transition in a sideways manner to accumulate or distribute in any market. My best chance of trading is finding these major potential reversal points, especially ones like this with such a tight compression and managing my risk. I will risk a small amount on a stop and diversify my portfolio. The market will not trend sideways and flatline forever. All you need to do is find these trend reversals, manage tight risk in anticipation to capture the next major trend. *This material is for educational purposes only

The Art of Missing The Big Bull Trend (Nikkei/Japan Example)Crisis or crash will happen from time to time. However, the funny thing is, human psychology is so fixated in "Avoiding the Pain" versus "Taking the Opportunities" when it is presented. Why people like Warren Buffett are the richest people in the world? Despite not using any form of technical analysis? Because fundamentals matters and capital flow matters. Yes, depression happens, crash happens, but market recovers soon after, and then stride to make newer high and new all time high. That is because market and capital follows the development in economy and as the world population grows, as emerging countries grow to become developed country, the total world GDP is increasing from time to time, so, it is natural for the global stock market to rise over LONG PERIOD OF TIME. Doesn't mean that people should buy at the market peak or market top. It just means the chances for market crash or market corrections are very low. Once every 10-20 years and the potential upside is always much much bigger than the downside. Market crash or depression means that stocks are cheap and provide a better entry point for people who can think long term enough. Such as those people who bought in 2009, 2002 Nasdaq, 1997 Asian stocks, 1987 crash, 1974 crash or 1932 great depression bottom. But, to stay in cash and wait patiently for this type of crash to happen can be painful. For example, people often talks about Japan 1988 bubble and how it was devastating for the Japan and all the ensuing lost decades. People didn't mention that Japan stock market or Nikkei increases 1000x from 1948 to 1988 in a 40 year bull market without any major corrections. Just think about it, Japan stock market did 1000x in 40 years and never had any major corrections. Eventually the trend will be over and that is the reasons why Japan is having a lost decades. Because the longer and the more you stretch, the longer it takes to recover. However, try to imagine this, from 1948 to 1980, if anyone get into the stock market, despite the lost decades, they are still UP. Because Nikkei never went below the 7000 level despite the crash and despite the 2008-2009 crisis. Just think about it, after 32 years of bull market, anyone who didn't invest in Japan stock market before 1980 will miss the gain forever. They will never be able to buy at that cheap level. Look at any stock market in the world, Dow Jones, and go 40 years back, do you have the chance to buy at that level again anymore? Maybe never forever. "But, everything will crash and collapse. It doesn't matter." Doomsday scenario means that we have OTHER THINGS to worry other than stock market. If the global economy crash and we entered into a global great depression that is the biggest ever in human history, then, gun and pistol rules the world, it doesn't matter if Dow is at 100,000 or 10,000 or 1,000 or 100. it doesn't matter, what happens to stock doesn't matter anymore because you might get killed first before your stocks got liquidated on margin. The point is, when they are too much fear, market doesn't go down or crash. Fear means everyone has sold out, no more sellers. When they are no more sellers, hard for something to go down and crash. I am not advocating to buy at market peak and market top. But looking at this example and other example, there is always a probability and chances that stock market will keep going up and break new all time high and go to a level that nobody thinks about. And even when the stock market crash, it may crash to level where most people don't even have the chances to buy. Look at nikkei example, look at dow and s&p 500 example. Plus, we are on the brink of Fourth Industrial Revolution 4.0, which includes many things and blockchain. The easiest and best bet for long term is to long everything that will benefit from IR4.0. Doesn't mean everything will go up. Some dinosours will die and will be replaced. Some will be value traps. Even in Japan, they were and are some 10-100 baggers in the stock market, despite the lost decades. Opportunities always exist. And the easiest way to get super rich is to have long term mindset and ride the trend as far as possible. Reference: stooq.com

Elliott Wave & Intermarket Analysis For NIKKEI And USDJPYHello traders! Today we will talk about stocks, specifically Nikkei and why USDJPY can see higher prices. Well, as you may already know, in EW theory after a three-wave corrective decline, the trend should remain to the upside. This is what we see in the stock market all the time. However, Nikkei got our attention, because we can see a nice five-wave rally after that three-wave a-b-c correction, which means that Nikkei remains in uptrend, but after another three-wave correction in the lower degree, where ideal support would be here around 21450 - 21250 levels, just keep in mind that bullish confirmed can be only if it manages to turn back above 21770 region! In the right picture you can see tight positive correlation between NIKKEI and USDJPY, which means that if NIKKEI points higher, then even USDJPY can see higher prices, so don't be surprised if USDJPY remains bullish towards 109 area or higher! So, seems like risk-on sentiment may continue and when we are in risk-on, we usually see bullish stocks, which are followed by recovery on XXX/JPY crosses. That being said, be aware of a bullish continuation on stocks, while XXX/JPY cross pairs may see a bigger recovery! Be humble, trade smart and wait for the right sentiment to enter the market!

Nikkei: The Why's & How's I'm SHORT Now - Lesson In Wave TradingThere is NEVER a SURE 100% trade. And I'm not giving you one. Let's be clear about that. But as you can see on my chart, I'm sure enough about what is about to happen to the Nikkei that I am already SHORT on it TWICE OVER. And if prices do go the way I am projecting and they do pull back up and cover those HUGE gaps that were left behind, I'll be looking to sell again! But let me explain why I think this. What I see happening is that the recent high that was just established could very well have been the top of a wave (X) correction. This following the completion of a wave (W). That wave (W) was a sharp downward correction off the possible completion of that HUGE LONG impulse wave that lasted years! That wave (W) crash signaled the end of that MAJOR impulse wave. I had been calling that long impulse wave up as a wave (iii) and that crash down ended it. So why didn't I label that wave (W) drop as a completed wave (iv)? Well, it could be but highly unlikely given that it was so sharp and brief. Wave 4's don't tend to be that way. Wave 4-type corrections usually unfold in an long drawn out fashion. And if you have been counting waves as long as I have, you would've have seen this kind of price action take place hundreds if not thousands of times in the 26+ years that I have been trading. And I also seen just as many times what follows, too. So for arguments sake, let's just say that my wave count is correct and that was indeed a completed wave (iii) and what followed was a wave (W). After a wave (W), you would expect that the next wave will be a corrective wave (X). And what did follow was a very clear 3-wave corrective wave (X). But only one problem....that correction ended ABOVE the top of what I labeled as the wave (iii) end. So, that opened up 2 possibilities...1) that the new high was actually the end of that MAJOR wave (iii) or 2) as I see it, this overall correction following where I labeled the end of the wave (iii) is unfolding as an extended flat where the corrective wave (X) does exceed the high of the previous complete impulse wave. If that is the case, then we can already project what is to happen next and also project possible targets based on the rules that we have for extended flats and how they tend to unfold. Regardless, I trust my wave count because as you can see, I've hit 4 out of 4 trades pulling in over +8000 points over the course of this year JUST on the Nikkei alone! You don't even want to know how I did in the other major indexes as you would find it hard to believe! But that is besides the point. The point I'm trying to make here is that if you can apply a good, workable wave count combined with a good knowledge about price action, you can make trades like these. Those 4 out of 4 (100%) winning trades are just the ones that I have already closed and banked the profits on. That does not include the 2 OPEN SHORT trades that are already in profit now. If you find it hard to believe me, here is my chart I published to my followers back on September 12th showing my projections on what was to happen in the Nikkei. As you will see, that "explosion up" that ended what I have recently labeled the wave (X) I had already predicted would happen MONTHS AGO. That is the power of wave counting in action! There will be those that argue that my wave count is not correct and if you know me, you also know that I don't prescribe to the theory that you absolutely have the ABSOLUTE correct wave count in order to make money. No. You just have to have a workable wave count that puts you on the right side of the market. So if you believe me about what I see, you will want to wait for prices to pullback before you look to get SHORT. If you want to know more, PM me or see my signature box below for more info.

Prediction of the S&P500 and NIkkei based on financials and CPIIn the following content i will explain how you can forecast the market with CPI (inflation) and Financials: If we look at our figure we can say a few things, i will assume them below: 1. ABN AMRO (a dutch Financial) is highly correlated to the NIKKEI225 index. 2. Since nearly May 2016 we can see that the CPI (inflation)-chart has change 5 times. If we look at the Nikkei225 index we can see a few things: when the inflation in the US rose, the Nikkei225 fell 4 out 5 ( a chance of 90% or mathematical: a chance of 0.900). Using maths we know that ABN AMRO has an statistic correlation of 0.70 < r < 0.90 (70% - 90%) to the Nikkei225. Conclusion: The fInancials are following the NIkkei225, and in turn the Nikkei is following the US CPI (inflation) in a divergence/opposite movement. 3. We can use the inflaton from the US as a staircase for the movement in the S&P500 (on this moment a consolidating market) Sources: Bloomberg Markets, ING Technical Analyses NOTE: I don't make any predictions, making decisions based on my reports is at you'r own risk!
