Given that NPP has finally fully emerged from development, I'm looking into self-publishing the system using Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing. If I do, I'm going to charge the maximum price ($200 Kindle, $250 paperback) because I don't REALLY want anyone to purchase it. Moreover, I think it's worth every penny, because anyone who uses the system faithfully is virtually guaranteed to make tons of money, especially if they already have lots of capital to begin/work with. But all this notwithstanding—I'm don't have quite the concern with making my system public as I did previously, because there is a certain amount of discretion involved due to the fact that it's necessary to interpret how the various (integrated) factors are likely to interact with one another to affect price action. And who knows? If it does become common knowledge that individuals and/or institutions are using my strategies to make money hand over fist, it could lead to unexpected opportunities I can't even imagine right now. In any case, I don't see how it would do any good to let what I've developed die with me, so once the book is actually finished, I'll think long and hard about whether to go ahead and reveal my "secrets" to the world.
Thursday / May 20, 2021 / 7:25 AM PST I typed the following in the "Daily Analysis" thread... Regarding trading with a five-minute chart, at this moment, I regard the key temporal measures as consisting of the 4-, 14-, and 26-hour support and resistance levels. It's my opinion that the gist of price flow is conveyed by the 16-hour baseline—with the 24- and 32-hour baselines evidencing too much lag to represent the general direction in which rates are headed at this level with the highest degree of accuracy, precision, and validity. The intraday trend is more closely followed by the two-hour baseline, with actionable fluctuations tracked by the 40- and 60-minute baselines. (At this level [once again] the four-hour baseline evidences too much lag to trace the trend with an optimal degree of accuracy, precision, and validity.) Price range deviations are calculated as follows: 40-minute - 0.13% 90-minute - 0.20% 2-hour - 0.35% 4-hour - 0.45% 8-hour - 0.70% 16-hour - 0.75%
Save for future reference... If you decide to do something like this somewhere down the road, what will differentiate you from all the rest is you're not going to charge for the training.
Me thinks I have nothing more to draw from studying the Numerical Price Prediction system, so I've begun to rewrite the final version of my book. This week I plan to attempt implementing what is written above, and if I have my first daily $30 payout trading 0.02 lots, I will take it as confirmation that I am on the right track and finish the publication, God willing. (I might also increase the typical size of my trades from 0.02 lots to 0.03 lots.) The plan is to self-publish the book via Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing and charge $250 (paperback) given that I'm not all that gung-ho about seeing people actually buy it, thereby making all my "secrets" public. (There's also the possibility that once it's actually written, I'll set it aside, not to be published until after I'm no longer active in the markets.)
It has been replaced by the use of the 2-hour price range envelope at 0.32% deviation. (Note that price seems to want to revert/regress back to the 2-hour baseline at least once a day. See if you can use this "phenomenon" to your advantage, constructing a tactic with an almost 100% success rate.) Perhaps I spoke too soon. Right now, it looks to me like I might gain additional insight by temporarily focusing my attention exclusively on price action within the 2- and 4-hour price ranges.
This looks to be a rather sweet "trick" for picking up a few pips profit here and there relatively quickly... Continue to follow these pairs and see if price makes it all the way back to the baseline. If it does so consistently, you can set more ambitious take-profit targets starting tomorrow.
