RULES FOR ACTIVE MARKETS AT HIGH LEVELS –活跃市场中的高级规则
Many times in history Wheat has sold at $1.75 to $3.50 per bushel. These high prices will recur some day, so you need to know how to trade in markets that move 10 to 20¢ per bushel per day and how to get out near tops and bottoms because the moves will be so fast that you cannot wait for Trend Line bottoms to be broken in every case, and cannot wait for daily
bottoms to be broken or daily tops to be crossed, especially where the range is 15¢ per bushel a day, or even where it is 7 to 10¢ per day.
历史显示在大多数时期小麦的销售价格在1.75-3.5美元/蒲式耳。这种高价可能来日会重现,因此当市场每天移动10-20美分/蒲式耳时你必须要明白如何交易,在接近顶部或者底部时如何平仓离场,因为此时价格的变动将非常快速,你就不能按常规等待趋势线底部被击破,也不能等待日常的顶部或底部被打破,特别是在波动范围在15美分那一天或每天在7-10美分之时。
When a market is having a rapid advance or a rapid decline of this kind, you should keep a space chart of 3 points. By this I mean, that during the day, when Wheat declines 3¢ per bushel from any top; then advances 3¢ per bushel from any bottom, you should record it.Then the first time that Wheat breaks under a bottom of a 3¢-move, consider that the trend has reversed temporarily. This may only be for one day or for one or two days, but it is a warning to get out.
当市场以暴涨或者暴跌的性质出现时,你就要备有3点的空间图表。我说的意思是,当小麦从任何顶部下跌3美分或从任何底部上涨3美分,你就要记录好他们。当小麦第一次在突破一个底部后变动了3美分,可以认为趋势临时已反转。虽然这种可能仅存在一天或者一到两天时间,但是它却是离场警告信号。
You should also keep a chart of 1¢ movements if you are watching the tape. However, when the markets are very active at high prices, I consider that the best chart to keep is the 3¢ moves.
如果你正在看磁带时你应该也备有1美分的一张变动图图表。 然而, 当市场非常活跃在高价位区域时,我认为记录3美分的变动是最好的图表。(黑水:在20世纪40年代前,电脑还未发明,磁带在当时作为录音介质出现。)
