Last month we mapped and followed an oil and Aussie chart with simple swings and gaps and these are some of the lessons we learned from this: We saw how minor swings can break and expand and into a major leg. I did a recent post on this in “Taking Out the Cheap Seats“. We learned how mapping swings and seeing in swings can take out the intensity of a chart, thus relaxing us and changing our experience of trading.
This month we will map and follow USD/CAD and Gold Futures.

Taking out the Cheap Seats, Minor Expanding Into Major
In previous posts, I showed how to identify swings and then taught how to make a further distinction of minor and major swings. With this understanding, we can come up with various ways to trade and read a market. In this video, I will show how to take advantage of a minor swing expanding into a major swing taking out the momentum players, the cheap seats. You can also see this represented by a Median Line set, like in the 90-minute oil chart from the “Following Live: Theory Into Practice” post.
Do It With Gaps
In the last post “Map Any Market in Any Time Frame” I showed you how to map markets using swings. There are various ways to map a market and in this video, I will show you how to do it with Gaps. Gaps are significant supply/demand events and once we learn how to isolate them on a chart, we can view the market through them eliminating the rest of the noise. This gives us an easy means to map, follow and have various ways to trade this event. See a post I did on ” Trading a Valley in the CAD” for an example. Learn to follow price and price will teach you.
