Quarterstheory

Exploring Ilian Yotov's Quarter Point Theory: Refine Your Entry The quarters theory challenges the notion that financial markets are chaotic and that market prices are random by demonstrating constant orderly movement of price from one Quarter point to the next. In this publication, I will delve into the fundamentals of Yotov's Quarter Point Theory, its significance, and how it can be applied effectively in forex trading. What is Quarter Point Theory by Ilian Yotov? Ilian Yotov's Quarter Point Theory is a technical analysis strategy used in forex trading to identify potential entry and exit points. The theory is based on the observation that currency prices tend to gravitate towards specific levels known as "quarter points," which are key psychological and technical levels in the market. Key Concepts of Quarter Point Theory • Quarter Points: These are price levels that divide a currency pair's price range into four equal parts. For example, if a currency pair is trading between 1.2000 and 1.3000, the quarter points would be 1.2250, 1.2500, and 1.2750. • Psychological Levels: Quarter points often act as psychological barriers where traders tend to place buy or sell orders, causing price reactions at these levels. • Support and Resistance: Quarter points can act as support and resistance levels, where prices may consolidate, reverse, or experience significant movement. Identifying Quarter Points To apply Quarter Point Theory, traders need to identify the high and low of a currency pair's price range. These values are then divided into quarters to determine the quarter points. The quarters theory focuses on the 1000 pip range between major whole numbers in currency exchange. Each 1000 pip range can be divided into 4 equal parts called Large Quarters Each Large quarter has exactly 250 pips (1000/4 =250). A Large Quarter Point (LQP) is a price that marks the beginning and the end of each Large Quarter (250 pips range). Large Quarter Points that coincide with Major whole numbers are called Major Large Quarter Points (MLQP). MLQP signals the end of a 1000 PIP range and the beginning of a new 1000 pip range. A Major Small Quarter point is simple the number that coincides with a whole number, for example, 1.30, 1.31, 1.32, 1.33, 1.34…. Each of these numbers mark the beginning of a 100 pip range. Here is an illustration of this: Using Quarter Points in Forex When you study price around this theory, you may notice that price has a tendency to print the high of the day or low of the day around quarter point levels. Here is a example of this over a 5 day period on EURUSD: With this new-found knowledge, you could integrate this into your strategy. Once you have a directional bias for the day and you have an AOI for entry, you simply need to identify the quarter point within that range and anticipate a reaction at that level. For a deeper dive into this theory, I highly recommend reading the original work by Ilian Yotov's.

GBPUSD - Long trade after CPI data ICT Concepts x Quarterly Theory Top of the morning! Beautiful trade on the GBPUSD yesterday. I blended ICT Concepts and Quarterly theory. I will be posting more updates on this approach as time goes on. Higher time frame narrative: Monthly timeframe: -The current monthly candle has bullishly engulfed the two previous bearish monthly candles. -Price is currently trading above a monthly balanced price range that lines up with a previously violated monthly order block. -A monthly FVG exists above current price, it is clear that institutional order flow is bullish. Weekly timeframe: -Weekly bullish FVG + Order block above the 50% level of a previously respected weekly order block. This offers us an area of high probability support. Our lower time frame entry point can be found in this area... Daily timeframe: -Daily bullish order block offers support and is in line with the weekly bullish FVG and order block. -Bullish dragonfly doji candle printed the previous day, giving further confirmation that there is a lot of interest at our point of interest. -Classic buyday template, price dropped lower from it's midnight open price to accumulate before expanding to the upside(Power of 3). Quarterly theory: Weekly profile observed: AMDX, bullish power of 3- Accumulation on Monday, manipulation on Tuesday, anticipated distribution on Wednesday.

CADJPY next 300 pips pricing mapIn the chart above we have lined out CADJPY movement over the last $4 dollar. Within our trading methdology we like to pay attention to the extremes being -30% and 130% where we expect to see major trends end and begin. With this being the case we have about 300 pips before we see the next major move in the CADJPY. Within the last $4 dollars of movement we can see how price hangs around the whole numbers we can develop a pricing map that allows us to take advantage of this congestion that can either allow us to play on the 100 pip move, 250 pip move or 625 pip move as you can see in my other chart analysis.

Going Long from a support zone aiming for resistance.I’m just made a demo account after taking about a two or more months from trading. I took the ftmo challenge and I passed the first step but I failed the verification. @baileythebarber I’ve known about trading for about five or more years and I’ve made money and lost money but I’ve never gotten to making money consistently and seeing six figure days. I’d like to make thousands a day and five figures would be great a week I really want to make large sums of money on a weekly and daily basis from trading. Even making cash money from other business ventures. Blue hundred dollar wads of money stacks in my pockets paid getting paid and experiencing the power. money. This trade idea is based off quarter theory trade on the gbpusd 7/8/22 12:56 am Buying from support at 1.2000 large quarter point. Stop loss below the close price of 1.9087 Take profit at 1.21958 I trade from the body of the candles, not the wicks, I think that’s where the liquidity will began and I like to be out early as possible in my take profit ranges, especially if I have a good risk to reward ratio. Let’s see how this one goes and if I’ll remember to come back to this idea. I’m working on being consistent.
