Therefore, studying to determine and plot these items of the technical evaluation “puzzle”, could be very, crucial.

The first items of this puzzle are: Clear black and white value charts, key ranges, tendencies, value motion, market bias and indicators. Because of this, this stuff are my foremost focus when doing my evaluation and market commentaries, as a result of studying how you can correctly map a market is important to understanding how you can correctly commerce with value motion.
Why I Use “Clear” Charts & Set Them Up
Clear charts, or indicator-free charts, are the spine of my technical evaluation and value motion strategy. In case you don’t but know why I want clear, bare value charts, take a look at my article on why indicators will destroy your buying and selling. Suffice it to say, I subscribe to a easy, much less is extra buying and selling philosophy, and for some very, excellent causes, which I’ve written about usually.
In case you don’t but use clear, indicator-free value charts, I’ve a wonderful tutorial on how you can arrange your charts right here that you simply undoubtedly want to take a look at. You too can the obtain the metatrader buying and selling platform we use right here.
Right here is a straightforward method to arrange your charts correctly:
First, you’ll proper click on on the chart after which choose “properties” on the backside of the pop up menu. When you try this, you will note the next display screen for chart choices. First set the colours and different choices how I’ve them on this picture:

How I Analyze Clear Worth Charts
When writing my weekly members market commentary, the very first thing I do is zoom out on the weekly chart, as a result of I wish to get that hen’s eye top-down view, this provides me a good suggestion of what has occurred and the way that will affect what presently is occurring.
Within the chart under, discover I’ve zoomed out to the weekly view of the present Gold charts. I’ve marked the obvious key ranges of help and resistance. Observe, usually these ranges will “flip” from help to resistance or vice versa, as value strikes up or down:
Within the chart picture under, discover I’ve zoomed out so I’m wanting concerning the final 12 months’s price of knowledge on the every day charts. This provides me loads of time to see how the earlier 12 months’s ranges and tendencies, in addition to value motion, as led us to the present level. You will note what I’ve drawn in under on the chart, these are the degrees I view as essentially the most related in addition to the areas of consolidation and trending value motion, these are the primary issues I’m in search of after I do my value motion evaluation…
Within the subsequent chart, we now have zoomed in a bit extra, however you’ll discover the identical ranges are there. We’re going to dissect issues a bit extra right here.
First, discover the bullish tailed bar on the far left of the chart, this was clearly an vital turning level from all the way down to up, so we’ll draw a horizontal stage on the low of that bar; this stage would as soon as once more be related if value fell again all the way down to it. Then, discover value entered right into a interval of sideways consolidation for nearly two months, earlier than breaking apart and out of it. Nevertheless, after the breakout, value chopped slowly increased after which shaped a bearish pin bar at 1237.00 space; a resistance stage we had beforehand marked on the chart. Now, while this might be thought of a “counter-trend” pin bar, which normally i don’t like, because it was at an vital stage we already had on the chart, and there was a transparent goal under on the earlier breakout stage of 1212.00 space, savvy value motion merchants may have thought of a short-term commerce concentrating on a transfer into that stage. Observe: 1212.00 or actually 1215.00 – 1205.00 space was a really robust zone of help as a result of earlier breakout and I’d have been seeking to get lengthy on a pull again to that space after the upside breakout.
Within the subsequent chart, we’re how when a market swings, it leaves behind a stage, and we then watch these ranges for pull backs to commerce in-line with the prevailing momentum.
Discover the areas marked “look ahead to pullbacks”, we’d have been looking forward to value to tug again to those ranges after it broke above them, to get lengthy and commerce in-line with the bullish momentum that was clearly creating. Ideally, we’d get a value motion sign at these ranges after value pulls again to it, however this isn’t all the time obligatory, as I’ve written about, typically all you want is a stage and a development for an entry, see my T.L.S. article for extra…
Lastly, we now have zoomed in to the latest value motion of the every day Gold chart.
From this chart, we will see a few potential entry indicators that shaped after pullbacks to 1212.00 space and 1237; once more, we had already marked these ranges on our charts and have been ready to “assault” ought to value rotate again into them. Presently, as of this writing, value is hovering just below the important thing resistance space up close to 1305 – 1295 space.
Conclusion

This implies, you wish to begin with the longest time-frame, zoomed out, and you then step by step shorten the timeframe and zoom nearer in.
