Start trading with PREDICTIVE indicators

Features

We live in the most technologically advanced world the industry of trading has ever seen, and yet most traders in spite of all of the available power to them are still using their current day computers to do nothing more than generate low power lagging indicators that tell them what just happened. No one uses predictive indicators in forex, futures, equities, commodities....nothing.

Three years ago, my partners and I discovered something...a phenomenon we didn't think could possibly exist. We discovered that if you looked at thousands of bars of historical data patterns began to appear in time, price, and price action. Simply stated, studying what the algorithms of the institutional traders did revealed an order in the markets. Moves that occurred at certain times. Prices that became support and resistance. Price action that almost always indicated a shift in the algorithm's appetite.

Moreover, we discovered that these times were PREDICTIVE. These prices were PREDICTIVE. You could identify the times the market would start to trend....identify the times the market would stop and reverse....days in advance. You could identify the prices that were going to be support and resistance hours in advance. From a psychological standpoint, we'd realized that there was an alternative to staring at our monitors all day, wondering if the next tick or range bar would be our entry. Now, we could be at our computers with full focus at pre-determined times of the sessions, studying the conditions to verify if what we were expecting to happen again, was actually happening.

Watch this short video about how our FLUX histogram indicator - the heart of trading "time travel" locates those cycles...

 

In the above video, we analyzed 10,000 historical data bars in a matter of seconds to determine if there were any cycles in the EURUSD 15 minute time frame. The histograms quickly indicate if there are in fact cycles that repeat with enough predictive consistency as to display on the chart like a "wave". The max and mins of those waves are calculated out into the future, and as we get closer to the time for that wave to reverse, we receive warnings on our screen, and markers that helps us identify the turns:

It's important to realize as you're watching that video, that the dots - the markers - have nothing to do with price action that day. In fact, they have nothing to do with price action at all. They are simply reminders that "now" is the time to expect something. A red dot plot on the 9:30 bar is saying - "Now is a statistically significant turning time in this market, on this time frame....watch for a big down move here". It's a time that you've been waiting days for.

As I mentioned earlier though, time isn't the only dimension of trading that we can analyze with predictive accuracy. Just as we are able to analyze time cycles in the ocean of available historical data, we are able to analyze price in the same respect. We can ask our computer to look at historical price with the intention of finding ALL of the prices where the market put in a pivot - stopped and reversed - reflected. When we do that, we create a database of those prices. We can see how many times in the past "'x thousand" bars did the market stop, and reverse at price "Y". We can filter out the top 2,5,10, 20 percent of those prices, and display those prices on our chart before the market opens.

Why? Because if the market stopped at price "X" 216 times in the past 5000 bars, there is a statistically high chance that the market will stop and find support or resistance there in the future. What makes the Flux prices different though, is that they are based entirely on an aggregate count of ACTUAL market pivots. It's a statistical analysis of actual market support and resistance. It is the 'cream of the crop' of algorithm pivots. The market simply cannot help but stop and bounce at these prices, for whatever reason. Prices that are not obvious to the human eye - but glaring to the "computer eye of data mining.

Here's an example of a chart with the Flux Fractal Pivot Confluence lines overlaid: (click HERE to see enlarged)

 

The first thing you notice is how the price action behaves around the FPC lines. It's bouncing off of these areas----moving through them like a "bus schedule", almost. Test this level....break though....test the next level....break through, and so forth.

The second thing you see is how some of the lines are darker and brighter, others softer and lighter. You see where 'clusters' of support and resistance are, as well.

The third and most important thing you see, is probably one of the most exciting discoveries we came across. The "intersection of time and price"

Go back and look at that chart. Can you find any places where we had a time signal (green or red) indicating a potential move up or down, at SUPPORT or RESISTANCE?

See if you see any RED dots at or near resistance.....or GREEN dots at or near support.

The closer the price is to support when an up move is predicted, the lower the risk to test that market...and the higher the reward.

The closer the price is to resistance when a down move is predicted, the lower the risk to test that market...and the higher the reward.

Again - two predictive indicators, based entirely on what the markets USUALLY do...not what some black box indicator says "might" happen...or a lagging indicator telling you what "just" happened.

Finally, we set out to produce a PRICE ACTION indicator. We wanted to know if the turn we were anticipating to happen, near the prices we were anticipating the turns to happen at, were actually happening. It's one thing to have a predictive indicator, but quite another to blindly follow that indicator with no present confirmation. It was after many months of studying price action the same way we were studying time and price, that the Flux BROADHEAD was born. Look at this chart:

It's the same chart I just showed you above, with 2 differences.

First, I've changed the bar type from a 1 minute time frame, to a 5 range bar. The Broadhead, turns out, works best on a NON-TIME bar. So Renko....Tick....Range....Line Break....any bar that does't have a time component, and the BROADHEAD is deadly accurate at indicating turns.

Next, I've overlaid the TIME study, on top of the PRICE study, on top of the BROADHEAD study. Look at what happens when all three of those studies come into phase together.  Reversal, at resistance, at the time the market is supposed to fall down hard. And it does. Over 10 points.

It's one thing to see and read this on our website, and another thing altogether to witness it for yourself. That's why around 2.5 years ago I started doing something no other tool vendor in this industry was doing - I started giving out the forecasts for the time turns 2 days in advance of our webinar. I was essentially daring people to see if this was for real or not. (That's why it's important that you sign up to be on our mailing list - you'll get these forecasts in your inbox on Tuesday for the markets on Wednesday and Thursday).

Inevitably, without fail, I ask them at every webinar - "What % of the time did the market do what was forecast, at those times?"

60-70%....75%........70%..........65%...........60-70%.............never an answer under 60%. That that blows people's minds wide open.

Going on 3 years now - over 200 webinars and 500 customers later - these cycles still continue to excite and mystify me in their accuracy, and repetition.

Go the next step, and learn for yourself how these cycles work - and are found...and make sure you sign up to receive these mailings, and get our webinar invitations.

Flux Trading Indicators...experience it for yourself

Features

I'll never forget the first day that I turned the Flux trading indicators on. I was watching the Emini S&P with my trading partner of 4 years. We'd seen every system under the sun, and spent countless hours at the feet of nearly every guru in the trading world. It always ended the same way. Dissappointment. Grief. Cloak and dagger secrets. Most of what we saw was just a rehash of something we'd seen a hundred times before.

But this day was different. These trading indicators were special.

These trading indicators were literally telling me when I should expect the market to go up, and when I should expect it to go down. How long it should go up, and how long it should go down. Not only that, but the turning times for the next several hours...several days, in succession.

And so we sat there, waiting about 20 minutes for the next turning point cycle to arrive. I remember thinking to myself, "this is crazy...I'm starting to feel stupid waiting like this". Ron just sat quietly on the other side of my Skype call...watching, and waiting.

And then, on the 20th minute, the candle started going crazy. Where the market was consolidating, and at a veritable stand still...at the exact minute...the exact second, on a weird time like 11:07, the Emini S&P shot up like a rocket, bar after bar after bar. As though it had been waiting 20 minutes to do that very thing.

I said to Ron, almost whispering at that point,

"Did you see what I just saw?"

He said quietly back to me over the headset,

".......yup."

I said, a little agitated, a little nervously,

"I think my software is broken, or I'm not reading this right".

He said,

".......nope..........software is working. Nothing wrong on my side."

I couldn't believe it. I almost wouldn't let myself believe it. And as the two of us sat there for the next 3-4 hours watching cycle after cycle play out live in front of us, I'll never forget thinking how I'd never believe in a random market again...feeling completely foolish for ever thinking that this was a fair game. That day...those signals...change the way I'd look at trading forever, and mark the beginning of a company that would change the lives of going on 500 traders in every major market on every continent of the globe.

We've shown this software to newbie traders, and 40 year CME member veterans. Traders with 'tried and true' strategies, and traders looking to build strategies from scratch. I've worked with partner vendors who sell every type of software and system and after it all I've come to a singular conclusion. Time is the universal "glue" that binds us together. There is no market I've found, no trading approach that doesn't benefit from studying these patterns and applying them strategically in every market. All of the trading indicators I'd worked with til that point were woefully inadequate relative to what we'd discovered.

So far, we've looked at:

  • All the major equities
  • All the major indices and futures
  • All the major Forex pairs
  • All the major commodities
  • All the major ETF's
  • Every time frame from 10 tick up through 4 and 8 hour bars

Whenever I think we've pushed the tool too far, or we've reached a limit we can't surpass, or thought there's nothing left to learn about timing - no more features to add or innovate - we discover something completely new and exciting.

There's a progression here that I'd like you to follow. It's the most successful way I know to expose you to the tools and the trading indicators, so you can begin to understand how they work and what we've discovered since that first day Ron and I sat staring at the screen with our mouths hanging open. We've come pretty far in the past few years, and I want you to see how all the pieces come together for the most unusual and unique trading tool you've never seen...

The Power Of Data Mining

Features
featured image

We leverage the power of data mining and statistical analysis, powered by today’s high speed computer processors, enabling smaller traders to analyze the markets like their billionaire multinational counterparts.

Taking tens of thousands of data bars, weeks into the past, tools like the Flux compare week after week after week and days into the past like a personal high-powered private investigator. If behavior patterns repeat with enough frequency to form a pattern, it displays on your screen with total clarity. If the pattern is developing, or eroding, it displays as “chop” on your screen and shows no clear direction or pattern.

These patterns and cycles are dynamic, meaning they change over time. This fact prevents smaller traders from ever discovering their existence. An individual simply cannot analyze ten thousand data bars by hand, week after week after week. So the cycles remain hidden from view, and the markets continue to appear “random”. In reality, each trading day has it’s own unique “fingerprint”, that will only exist that way, for that 24 hour period.

As a result, most traders enter an emotional state of paranoia. Broker after broker report that most traders cut their winners short – and give their losing trades a much longer leash. Similarly, most traders rely completely on lagging indicators and fail to employ any predictive or cyclic analysis in their trading, putting them at an extreme disadvantage.

When traders use lagging indicators, they are always just behind the market movers. Anxiety develops quickly, as the next 3 seconds could bring fortune or ruin. Every bar is a potential trade. Every bar is potentially a missed opportunity. Most of the traders that we talk to this way have all but "burnt out", sitting in their office chairs 8,10, 15 or more hours a day wondering if the next bar will be the signal. Inevitably, they perform psychological suicide to make the pain stop, and usually end up blowing out their accounts.

Traders that employ predictive tools trade more confidently, and allow winning trades go to targets based on observed cycles and behaviors. They simply EXPECT their trades to work. This one difference could be the difference between a profitable account, and a blown up account. There's a difference between "expecting" something to happen, and "hoping" something will happen. I can't think of a dirtier or more destructive word than "hope" in trading. It's an account killer.

In our webinars, we reveal that human beings as a whole, follow extremely predictable routines throughout their weeks.

Moreover we show that human behavior as a whole can be predicted and traded profitably in the markets. In his comprehensive book “Trading Systems and Methods”, Perry Kaufman makes this point very clearly. He states that many of the great traders, like W.D. Gann were able to forecast market movements days and weeks in advance. In Gann’s case, his cycle forecasts were reportedly 85%+ accurate. In his book, Kaufman states,

“….There are some approaches to trading that are DIRECTLY DEPENDENT ON HUMAN BEHAVIOR, and cannot be represented by mathematical techniques”

If a man like W.D. Gann, with no computers, a piece of paper, and some pens can be 85% + accurate in his predictive forecasts, there has to be something going on beyond “random” in the markets.

In fact, we see from Gann's later writings, that of everything he had studied in his carreer, he had one piece of advice for all who would come after him in the pursuit of trading profits:

"TIME is the most important factor in determining market movements and by studying the past records of the averages or individual stocks you will be able to prove for yourself that history does repeat and that by KNOWING THE PAST YOU CAN TELL THE FUTURE. … There is a definite relation between TIME and PRICE. … Now, by a study of the TIME PERIODS and TIME CYCLES you will learn why tops and bottoms are found at certain TIMES and why Resistance Levels are so strong at certain TIMES and bottoms and tops hold around them. …"

100 years after Gann, we first turned on the Flux tools looking for time cycles in the markets that we traded. We expected to see 1 of 2 things once the data mining was complete....either cycles, or chaos. Proof that the markets had distinct turning point times, or proof once and for all that the markets were random, and we had no way to anticipate what was coming next. Here's what came back when the data mining algorithms were done:

See the hills and valleys? See how some times of the day are expected to trend upwards, and others are expected to be choppy?

See how some times of day have clear peaks to them...obvious reversal times?

This is what Gann dreamed about, before the age of computers and personal PC's. This is what I believe he was doing in his head, with pencil and paper.

Something very few if any humans today could even hope to accomplish.

 

In his book, “The New Market Wizards”, Jack Schwager interviews dozens of the world’s modern “super traders”, and concluded at the end of his studies,

“…my experience with the interviews conducted for this book and it’s predecessor leaves me with little doubt that the random walk theory is wrong…”

If one man can “decode” the patterns and cycles in the markets, it essentially proves that the markets are not random, and with the right analysis tools, are decipherable.
