Analysis of some side pairs/crosses. Several key ideas are present across the pairs we went through today. Building a picture, holding and testing assumptions, finding evidence or signals that increase or decrease the probability of some idea being correct is part of the process. These ideas are yet to play out. Most times we observe price not doing anything we want it to do. Today might be one of those days.

Nothing really that close to developing. Gold has some chance of rejecting off the daily highs and upper trend line tomorrow generating an s-wave for us to trade. All the other pairs need additional waves to develop the structure necessary. On smaller time frames of course its always possible to find structure and momentum cooperating nicely intra-day. These kind of quick small opportunities are obviously not observable very far in advance.
Good Trading.
Today I decided to walk through the relationship between structure and momentum from first principles. The circular self-defining nature of many fundamental ideas in technical analysis shares in similarity with all fields that produce sense from nonsense. The first layer of sense we rest upon the raw facts and data of the world emerges only relatively. The edges of the system, or in the first few steps in building a system of understanding we cannot escape the circular and relative meaning that gets us off the floor. Beyond the labels we can ascribe to physical objects we begin now to label things in motion. Things becoming something else. Things transforming. The nature of the world to move; either forward in space or time, or move forward in evolution and form contains at its source an abstraction for movement as such. This in the physical world we call energy with its corollary forms and structure. In technical analysis this eternal motion we call momentum and its corollary of structure. In keeping with the simplicity of our 'new system' we start at the same humble beginnings and aim to define and explain all chart patterns in their tiers of complexity in terms of these simple ideas.
