MIDAS Trading Tools

The introduction of the MIDAS Trading Tools indicator represents the culmination of my trading expertise and innovative application. By incorporating new concepts and collaborating with fellow traders like Robert Young (US), we have enriched and enhanced this indicator. In the sections below, you'll find detailed descriptions of the variables comprising this indicator.

MIDAS which is an acronym for Market Interpretation/Data Analysis System is the innovative work of the late technical analyst Paul Levine. Levine strongly believed that the dynamic interplay of support and resistance and accumulation and distribution are the ultimate determinants of price behavior. After examining and rejecting all of the standard technical analysis techniques for determining support and resistance, he came up with a new approach - MIDAS!

MIDAS Trading Tools consists of two standalone indicators tailored for different market environments:

1. MIDAS Support/Resistance Curves: Unveils potent support and resistance levels while providing a method to assess the relative strength of a prevailing trend.

2. MIDAS Top-Bottom Finder Algorithm: Monitors the available "fuel" within an accelerating trend to anticipate potential tops or bottoms based on cumulative volume.

Basic Strategy & Concept

1. Identify a trend in any market.

2. Attach MIDAS Trading Tools to your chart.

3. Click on the red vertical line and drag it to a recommended anchor point ◆.
4. Activate the Buy/Sell Alert System by clicking the circled button in the top right corner. White = OFF / Blue = ON.
5. Wait for the price to retract to the MIDAS Support/Resistance curve, signaling a buy or sell opportunity.
6. Enter the market when a signal is generated, ensuring a minimum risk-to-reward ratio of 1:1+.
7. If the price accelerates away before fully retracing to the MIDAS Curve, launch and adjust the Top-Bottom Finder to the current pullback(s) by manipulating the cumulative volume in the bottom right corner to predict potential tops or bottoms.
8. When the Top-Bottom Finder reaches 100%, a retracement to the MIDAS Support/Resistance curve becomes probable.

For those new to the MIDAS Trading System and eager to explore the powerful trading methodology pioneered by the late Paul Levine, I suggest delving into "MIDAS Technical Analysis: A VWAP Approach to Trading and Investing in Today's Markets." The authors guide you through the fascinating MIDAS universe, elucidating its variations with abundant charts and examples. Start by perusing the introductory chapters, then dive into the practical, profit-oriented Chapter 8 to apply these principles firsthand.
