Gold December 4th the gold market is the guinea pig because there are some issues with my terminology that need to be clarified. I've been using some incorrect terminology when I use the term bull flag or Bear Flag and I looked it up and that made things worse so I explained here what I mean. also I know people will have problems with my terminology regarding 2 bar reversals. I discovered that pattern and I didn't get it from books but I know the pattern works because other people must be using it.... because it works. so I'm not inventing any tools I'm simply looking at patterns that are reversal patterns in the market that can happen for many reasons and the beautiful thing about a two-bar reversal is that I can use it with a daily chart and a four-hour chart. sometimes the daily chart closest at a high or near the high and that represents 1 bar.... and then the next bar on the opening price produces another bar and the pattern between yesterday's market and today's market May give me a 2 bar reversal. the pattern of that trade requires yesterday's bar and today's bar... so you have a two-bar reversal from a bar generating yesterday with a bar generated today.
Oher times you have a 2 bar reversal within 1 day of trading. there is another point to this and that is that some of the best trades happen on the opening price which is a part of the current day and happens when most Traders are not following that market. what I'm saying is not complicated but it takes time to look at these markets and think about the market before you trade the market. this process takes time and you will learn when the conditions are a little more complex and involve opening price trades that you can get a feel for when you enter the market or not.... sometimes you need the market to move a little bit first before you commit.
