My Righthand Trade I HAVE A DREAM! EACH aspiring trader Needs ONE reliable CONSISTENT METHOD to SUCCEED IN TRADING! 
MANAGEMENT IS WHERE WE START: DURING THE 1970'S, IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP THE U.S. Air Force to MANAGE RISK in order TO ASSURE OUR NATION'S SECURITY. DURING THE 1980'S IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP CORPORATE AMERICA MANAGE RISK by planning and preparing in advance to prevent a small cyber security incident from becoming a huge BUSINESS disaster - - thus, disaster recovery planning & Business Resumption Planning. Thus, RISK MANAGEMENT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT TO SUCEED IN TRADING! TRADING IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM INVESTING. WHILE ACTIVE TRADING IS A PARTICIPATORY SPORT WHERE TRADERS GET DOWN ONTO THE GRIDIRON TO TOUGH IT OUT WITH OPPOSITION. TO SUCCEED, WE TRADERS MUST LEARN TO 
READ THE MIND OF THE MARKET To Read the mind of the market SO, ONE COULD SAY THAT MY BUSINESS FOR 5 FULL DECADES HAS BEEN TO MANAGE RISK IN ORDER TO AVOID ONE'S INDISCRIMINENT LOSS OF SECURITY CAPITAL OR WEALTH! RISK MANAGEMENT IS THEREFORE MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHER ASPECTS OF TRADING! WE BELIEVE IN AB=CD PATTERN TRADING! WE BELIEVE THAT ABCD PATTERN TRADING IS THE BEST WAY TO READ THE MIND OF THE MARKET TO ANTICIPATE WHAT ACTION/DIRECTION IS MOST LIKELY TO NEXT OCCUR. WHETHER THE TREND DIRECTION IS UP (BULLISH) OR DOWN (BEARISH) THERE MAY BE A TRADE ENTRY SETUP SIGNAL AT EACH A B C OR D POINT . . . WHEN THE PATTERN PROCESSES ARE CLOSELY EXAMINED. IN THE FUTURES INSTRUMENTS WE WATCH, The A-B-C-D PATTERN CONTAINS A COMPLETE CYCLE – TWO DIRECTIONS DEPENDING ON WHETHER A IS NEAR LOW OR A IS NEAR THE HIGH. 
THIS IMAGE CAPTURES THE RAW MOMENT OF A BEAR LEAPING FOR A FISH — AND MISSING IT BY MERE INCHES. TO A TRADER, THIS SCENE IS ALL TOO FAMILIAR. THE BEAR REPRESENTS THE MARKET — POISED, ALERT, AND READY TO SEIZE AN OPPORTUNITY. THE FISH IS THE PERFECT TRADE SETUP — A CLEAN BREAKOUT, THE IDEAL ENTRY… THAT ONE GOLDEN MOVE TRADERS AWAIT. BUT JUST LIKE IN TRADING, TIMING AND PRECISION ARE EVERYTHING. ONE SECOND LATE, AND THAT OPPORTUNITY SLIPS RIGHT THROUGH YOUR JAWS — LEAVING YOU WITH FRUSTRATION, REGRET, AND A REMINDER THAT EVEN THE MOST PREPARED PREDATOR CAN MISS THE CATCH. IN THE FAST-MOVING RIVER OF MARKETS, HESITATION OR OVER CONFIDENCE CAN COST YOU. YOU SAW THE SIGNAL, YOUR INSTINCTS FLARED, BUT MAYBE YOU HESITATED. MAYBE YOU DOUBTED. AND IN THAT SPLIT-SECOND . . . GONE! THE TRADE WAS THERE, PERFECT IN FORM, BUT YOU DIDN'T EXECUTE! LESSON FOR TRADERS: EVEN THE BEST SETUPS REQUIRE SHARP EXECUTION. YOU CAN'T JUST BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE — YOU NEED TO ACT AT THE RIGHT MOMENT. DON'T LET THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY SWIM PAST BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T READY TO STRIKE. NOW, KEEP IN MIND THAT THE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT TRADING CONTAINS A HEAVY LOAD OF MUNITIA, MINISTRIVIA, THAT IS DISCUSSED BY TRADERS. SOME OF IT MAY BE HELPFUL. HOWEVER, SOME OF IT MAY BE HARMFULL AND USELESS OR CONFUSION AND INFO-OVERLOAD INFESTED. THEREFORE, TRY TO STICK WITH “PATTERN RECOGNITION”! THERE ARE A DOZEN CHART PATTERNS THAT EACH TRADER NEEDS TO LEARN & KNOW! AND THERE ARE ABOUT A HUNDRED BOOKS THAT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN. PUBLICATION DATES RANGE FROM THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY THRU THE EARLY 21ST CENTURY.
1. TRADE WHAT YOU SEE BY LARRY PESAVENTO & LESLIE JOFLES 
AB=CD Patterns + Fibonacci Ratios Rule Our Way There are hundreds of Candlestick Patterns; however, the following dozen were introduced in various books by Larry Pesavento and Al Coppola. These dozen patterns form the nucleus of the main idea of AB=CD. Would you like to learn how to transform a few dollars a day toward a fortress against job insecurity? The journey to financial empowerment begins with My Right-Hand Trade™. So, use My Right-Hand Trade to Read the Mind of the Market by Identifying Fractal High Sell Denial Candles! This trading methodology, a groundbreaking opportunity developed over the past few years (2007), has the potential to deliver gains as high as 85% of the time. You'll discover an illustrative chart (image 5), replete with trade setup signals aligned with My Right-Hand Trade™ principles — the very essence of knowledge required to extract gains from the market. 
Among the commodities, Crude (CL) stands as one of my eight favored trading instruments. The others include GC (Gold), 6E (Euro), NG (Natural Gas), ZB (30-Year T-Bond), ES (S&P 500 Index), KC (Coffee). Though I may trade only up to three of these at any one time. I have developed a few tools to help people better understand the markets and have written papers to further define the process of understanding. I created ideas on how to learn to know what needs to be learned before any money is put at risk. It has been my experience that far too many jump in and start trading with real $ before they know enough to protect their financial assets (wealth). Keep in mind that wealth is not a zillion dollars. It may be $500 for some. It may be $5,000 for others. It might even be as high as $1 million. Just KEEP it safe in a bank or CD until you have learned what you must know to avoid loss! You will not be able to totally avoid loss; however, you will be able to better control loss! But You can start with as little as $100! Successful commodity futures trading is arranged in 10 Categories. These categories are listed below and then explained in short stories.
01-BL Baseline 01-BL The Baseline OHLC is the smallest segment of futures interpretation. It's like the cornerstone of a building. From the cornerstone all construction originates. Structural engineers construct 70 story buildings from just one small rock in the ground near where the building originates. It's just underground bed rock, sand, and soil. The baseline of the candle is the OHLC, Open High, Low Close. OHLC is the cornerstone of trading because Japanese Candlesticks define the OHLC baseline. Let's start with the basics - Understanding Price Basics Price movement is represented in candlestick patterns – approximately a dozen. Each candlestick has an opening price, closing price, high, and low. Here's a summary:
1. Opening Price: The start of the candle. A positive price movement (where the closing price is above the opening price) is often represented by a white or green candle. A negative price movement (closing price below opening price) is typically represented by a black or red candle. These four prices form the baseline levels. Everyone tracking a particular commodity, such as crude oil, will know these prices. Among these, the closing price is considered the most significant. Why the Closing Price Matters — The closing price is the strongest baseline because it determines the market's final consensus for that period. When the next candle's opening price differs from the prior candle's closing price, it signals a potential shift in market sentiment. For instance:
- If new candle opens higher (a gap up), it suggests bullish sentiment. These gaps often act as strong support or resistance zones. Patterns and Forecasting: The key to forecasting is studying past patterns. Market movements are repetitive, and understanding historical behavior allows traders to anticipate future trends. Price evolves within a range defined by past candles, and your job as a trader is to identify which direction price will break out.
- If price evolves above the high of a past candle, it suggests upward momentum. In addition to baselines, savvy traders use structure to enhance our forecasts. Structure is based on the range of past candles and helps identify key levels for entry, target & stop. Key Uses of Structure:
1. Entries: Use structure to determine optimal entry points, often at baseline levels or critical structural levels (Fibonacci). The Importance of Stop Loss: A stop loss is your primary risk management tool. It's to prevent significant losses and allow you to trade another day. For example:
- If you're buying, place your stop loss below your entry. This ensures that if the price moves against you, you'll exit the trade quickly & optimally. Combining Baseline and Structure: The synergy between baseline and structure provides your approach:
- Baseline: Represent past key levels known by traders. By combining these, you can:
- Enter at baseline or structural AB=CD levels. Practical Example: Let's say the price is within the range of a past candle. If it breaks above the high, the next structural level becomes your target. If it breaks below the low, your target shifts to a lower structural level. Always monitor whether price respects or breaks through these levels, because this determines the strength of market participants (buyers or sellers). Planning and Execution: Trading requires focus, energy, discipline, drive, planning and stamina. Follow this mantra: Plan your trade — Trade your plan.
1. Identify baselines and structure. Key Takeaways:
- Forecasting: Understand past patterns to predict future movement. By mastering these concepts and applying them methodically, you can navigate the markets with greater confidence and precision. Your goal is to anticipate price evolution and effectively capitalize on it! 02-CS Japanese candlesticks Munehisa Homma was an 18th-century Japanese rice trader from Sakata who is widely credited with inventing the Japanese candlestick charting method. Through his trading experience, Homma discovered that market prices were driven not just by supply and demand, but also by the emotions of traders. To better visualize this, he developed candlestick charts, which display price movements in a clear, visual format using “bodies” and “wicks” to represent opening, closing, high, and low prices within a given period. His invention laid the foundation for one of the most widely used technical analysis tools in trading today. The western world traders were first introduced to Japanese candle sticks in 1993 by Steve Nison, The Father of Modern Candlestick Charting; however, they are old to Japanese rice traders of the 1700's. The open & close hold the candle where the money resides vital to traders. The high & low have the entire range of price action for the period divided by each candle. Interpreting candles is equal to reading a book. Words tell stories! Candles, too, tell stories of what will most likely will occur next… exactly what traders need to know to read the mind of the market! 
03-CS Forecasting Forecasting enables traders to read the mind of the market via pattern recognition, harmony, Fibonacci, and geometry to point toward setup signal targets where price may travel toward next period. TimeLine tells us WHEN price may reach that target as shown by harmonic swing ranges. TimeLine may be perceived by cycle wave analysis. Traders may apply TimeLine analysis to estimate the time when price may arrive at target. 04-GE Geometry MY FAVORITE is geometry because it defines the Time Frame to find bias on a moment's notice whether day, swing, or position trading. A 3rd party drawing tool is employed to inform the trader what to do — one of a dozen patterns! The tool enables prediction toward the next high or low of a candle range. It also helps widen the windshield into the future while conducting research & analysis to forecast upcoming directional trend bias. 05-IN (indicators) Traders need to choose which indicators to apply to effectively trade their way. There is no way a trader could apply all available indicators! So, we have devoted the past 20 years analyzing a boiled down few that could be usefully applied; however, there are only about a half dozen vital to name the ultimate trade setup signals to trigger optimum entry and exit. 06-RG (Regimen) Regimen is defined from Habit! A series of activities is learned by repetitious application, so recipients own the best tools to absorb and apply added information in a sequential routine. The sequence of activity, tasks and procedures is learned and applied in the same sequence day after day. Once the regimen is set up, it becomes forever learned and a new lifestyle evolves into choreographed harmony of enjoyable activity. Get Ready, Get Set, Go! 07-SG (Signals) By reading & interpreting candle pattern setup signals & triggers, savvy traders wisely enter trades when certain conditions appear among the candles. Certain patterns, for example, fractal highs or fractal lows, yell out (metaphorically) to buy or sell at a moment's notice within that candle pattern. Then buy/sell signal may execute with strong likelihood gain. 08-ST (structure) Candle structure supplies more in-depth information beyond baseline OHLC. As a result, the savvy trader relies on internal structure to enter long or short. This structure may confirm or deny the existence of highly likely successful trade entry. 09-TG (Terminology) A myriad of unique terms pertinent to the trading industry permeates the landscape and requires considerable focus, energy, determination and stamina (FEDS) to fully grasp the intricacies of trading, especially futures trading. Terminology may be the most complex hurdle to jump while mastering the trading business. 10-TF (Time Frames) Time frames incorporate the trader's spectrum of analysis. Within these frames, probabilities are analyzed to weave candle structure into the spectrum to help traders decide whether the next few periods will be bullish or bearish. The easiest way to grasp this concept is to study past pattern developments by observing prior period data (15M & 4-hour). Yearly, monthly, weekly & daily charts “play it forward” into the next timeframe. Using Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 8-, 4-, 1-hour & 15 Minute charts, we examine forward periods for signs of whether bulls or bears may predominate in the near term. The mainstay: a 15Minute candlestick. After taking my first trading course in September 1998, I thought I knew enough to trade. Whoops! I didn't know anything valuable. I just thought I did; therefore, I risked some money and lost. Many successful traders lose money when they start. Some lose too much and quit . . . greater than 90+% . . . We teach traders how to take a little daily to keep the job away. I share My Right Hand Trade™ methodology, which is a procedure that occasionally generates gains some of the time. Below is an illustration that visualize MRT/MLT with respect to Japanese candlesticks. It holds the essence of wisdom necessary to take gains from the market. 
Crude (CL) is one of my favorite commodity futures trading instruments. The other seven are GC (Gold), 6E (Euro) NG (Natural Gas), ZB (30-Year T-Bond), & ES (S&P 500 Index), KC (Coffee) where I am likely to trade three of the eight simultaneously but no more at the same time. But during the two hours we trade every day, sometimes I do trade all eight for 5 to 30 minutes taking $150 to $300 to total the average of about $500 a day and I will teach you how to do it yourself as we merge our respective mindsets. We trade live, right before your eyes! 
So, let's examine the chart. Note the Y-axis is price while the X-axis is time or date. We trade from a 15M chart but do weekly research using 4-hour charts to obtain a vision of what price may do during the next week. Why? Because a 4-hour chart puts in the mindset of looking out toward 5 days ahead and many commodity futures instruments oscillate weekly. Noticing the annotations on the above chart. The little green circles note the sell signals that occurred over the day in question. There are seven circles (oscillations) between the two yellow vertical lines. Now, keep in mind that I am old and lazy, so I only trade an hour or two a day and I trade at the same time every day. I trade from 5AM to 7AM (PST). Why? Because 5-7 AM (PST) Mon-Fri is when both Europe and the U.S. trade simultaneously. And this means that volume is greater than at any other time of the day. Keep in mind that Tue/Wed/Thu are the best days to trade. There are other times to trade but it is good for FOCUS when you know it's best. Focus is the most important aspect of trading. It is not recommended for traders to trade and chew gum at the same time. Focus only on trading when you're trading. Find a quiet, warm place where there are no distractions to trade on the days you choose. Spot for fractal highs (pivots) to find your sell trade setup signals or fractal lows for buys. Why do I prefer My Right Hand™ trades instead of left-hand trades? Because Sell signals pay better than Buy signals… in my opinion. That's not to say I never take left hand trade, but I do specialize in My Right Hand™ trades because they resolve profitably more often than My Left Hand™ trades. Notice the red arrows in the same chart image. The arrows show distance of various price moves following each topping tail - fractal high circled. 
Notice the arrows and the numbers 260, 180 & 300 on the chart above. Those amounts estimate gain when price reached the point from the top where the magenta carrot indicates trade origination. The drawing on above chart shows what to look for when the My Right Hand™ originated at a top of around 42.29 and sold off down to 41.98 where it found 260 ticks @ $10 each for a gain of $260 on one contract. This is My Right Hand™ scenario on crude oil. The sell was a magenta carrot; buy to close was blue carrot in the white candle near the $260 label. 
Now, please carefully examine the configuration of my fingers as I pledge allegiance to the United States of America. Notice the two fingers toward left of middle. You will see two lower highs (LH bullish candles). Thumb is lowest and finger is - higher. That is the configuration in which you wish to view the Japanese Candlesticks to start your quest for a fractal sell denial signal setup. The above image is a successful example of My Right Hand™ where you can see individual candlesticks and how it matches all the fingers of the right hand as seen above. 
So, what does a savvy trader search for to gouge > a little from the market? View the above image again to examine my old scrubby weather-beaten right hand. Notice that the taller middle finger is YOUR SETUP SIGNAL TO SELL now! So, when you see the HH (higher high) of the 3rd candle, look for it to form a wick at top. If it does not form a wick, it is not My Right Hand™. Price may go higher. So, WHEN you view the wick starting to form, that is your GET READY point. Watch it; do not take your eyes off it! Examine the candlestick height. Expect it to be higher. But you may wish to pass on it if there is no wick. When there is a tiny wick, your fish just nibbled the bait. When the wick widens another 10 to 15% greater than it was when you first noticed the wick, GET SET! 
Above is a nice clean chart meant for another purpose which shows topping tail configuration on two separate (successful) My Right Hand™ setup signals that - - performed admirably, even though I didn't get in the trades because I was writing this message for you. Note where the bottom of the circle crosses through the wick. That is the POINT you search for to GO into the short/(sell) trade. Notice resulting candles show there was a gain of > 14,260 – 14,140 in NQ NASDAQ @$5/tick for a gain of 120 ticks at $5 = $600. That is how you do it: Get Ready, Get Set, Go! The chart below reveals 5 Sell signals on the top and 5 Buy signals on the bottom. The signals contain clear evidence that there may be an immediate opportunity to enter your trade idea. 
The chart above illustrates a series of 10 distinct multiple topping tail formations — each representing a classic fractal high sell signal setup — that emerged consecutively on a 15-minute time frame. These patterns, which are characterized by their prominent upper wicks and rejection of higher price levels, offered a clear visual indication of bearish momentum building in the market. Traders observing these signals had multiple strategic entry opportunities, each aligning with a broader trend of weakening price. As a result, this sequence provided an ideal environment for short positions, with the price consistently migrating downward from the 1850 level to a low of 1802. The recurring nature of these topping tails highlighted sustained selling pressure and market exhaustion at higher levels, reinforcing the probability of a trend reversal. This setup not only exemplifies the power of fractal analysis in identifying high-probability trade entries but also showcases how disciplined technical pattern recognition can yield substantial intraday gains.

Gain the essential knowledge you need before attempting to trade on your own. Don't fall into the costly trap of trial and error — learn what you must know to avoid unnecessary losses and start your trading journey with confidence. In the realm of strategic decision-making, the age-old adage “Know when to Hold'em – Know when to Fold'em” resonates as a timeless truth. While the origin of Texas Hold'em remains shrouded in mystery, the Texas Legislature officially designated Robstown, Texas 73380, as its birthplace, tracing its roots back to the early 1900s. This card game achieved iconic status, thanks in part to Kenny Rogers' 2018 song, imbuing it with a touch of glamour and allure. Know When to Hold'em has kinship to 
But when did Hold'em truly make its mark? To answer this question, we must cast our gaze back to 1909, not 1990. Amidst the shifting sands of the gaming world, one individual's journey from a 7-Card Stud Poker in the early '70s to the emergence of Texas hold 'em in the '90s was nothing short of transformational. The closure of the last Stud game in The Mirage, Las Vegas, during the early '90s marked a pivotal moment. Faced with dwindling opportunities to indulge in card games, individuals ventured into the world of trading. It was a transition laden with challenge. The dynamics of trading, it seemed, bore a striking reverse resemblance to the house always having the upper hand. In the bygone era of the 1960's, when single-deck blackjack was a fixture at the Silver Slipper, the intelligent few who mastered card counting often emerged victorious. Armed with sharp minds and an impeccable memory for tracking aces and faces, these players held an advantage that translated into winning. However, the lucrative allure of this game ultimately led Las Vegas casinos bid farewell to single-deck blackjack, shifting the balance of profitability back to the house. The gambler's edge began to erode, compelling some of those in search of new ventures set their sights on commodity futures trading.

We search for a topping tail near the top of the chart, a “fractal high” I am a “bear” . . . a short trader! I like to sell more often than buy at the market. I am the sneaky creature who hides in the brush awaiting my prey like the salmon swimming upstream. Why? Because a short (sell) trade occurs much quicker than a buy trade (My Lefthand trade).
