Lecture Notes: Introduction to Storyline

Overview

• This is the third episode focused on storyline
• Main topics:
  • Identifying the start and potential end of a storyline
  • Importance of understanding probabilities in trading

Key Concepts

Definition of Storyline

• Movement from one point to another (or potential other)
• Emphasis on the uncertainty of price movements
• No trader can predict price with 100% certainty

Importance of Time Frames

• Always deal with two time frames:
  • Intraday Traders:
    • Use daily and H4 time frames for entries
  • Swing Traders:
    • Use weekly and monthly time frames
• Understanding the higher time frames helps intraday traders make better decisions

Time Frames to Focus On

• Only three time frames needed to analyze storyline:
  • Daily
  • Weekly
  • Monthly
• For swing traders, focus on monthly and weekly storylines
  • Daily can be ignored if the monthly is understood

Support and Resistance

• Always consider one time frame below when dealing with support and resistance
• Example:
  • Monthly storyline requires analyzing weekly levels for entry points

Identifying Storyline

Basic Steps

1. Identify the time frame being dealt with
2. Check if the time frame has rejected the zone
3. Determine if there is a breakout one time frame below

Example Breakdown

• Weekly bearish storyline:
  • Identify if there has been a weekly rejection
  • Look for daily breakouts to confirm the story

Entry Points

• For a weekly bearish storyline, look for entries on the daily time frame
• Example conditions for entries:
  • Price reaches weekly resistance and rejects
  • Daily breakout occurs

Summary of a Weekly Bearish Storyline

• Steps to confirm:
  1. Weekly reject weekly
  2. Daily breakout
