I m trying reallyhard to visualize the CC without the indi....with enough practice...I will get it....after a trade i turn them on to see if i was correct...

I have a question for you though....is shifting twice on a 3 candl CC enough...or should I be doing all 3? It is just another way of assembling the pieces correct....?


Thank you for your post!

I mentally shatter the chart, put it back together in different ways, and compare how price flows through the shifts.
The worst thing you could ask is "do I have to" because that is the very question that damned most of the traders here to years of mediocrity.

It helps to use the 3xCC indi coded by Bredin.

interesting...looks like one shift is for direction and the other shift for entry.

No matter where life takes you, you will always check the market and always want to continue being a part of it. It's like that first true love, it will always be there no matter what the distance, no matter whether they are alive or dead.

That is correct.

thought that the strong shift followed by the weak one is a sign of conflict... that translates to a potential reversal in my mind.

How you put the pieces together is your dollars and cents ;)

thinking that it might have been a larger timeframe, daily for example... shorting after the strong CC expecting a weaker one makes me think of shorting the Daily+ extreme am i wrong? i've yet to completely grasp this concept and this might help somewhat

To Spa:

That maveuver is used when siezing space with the Space Wars strategy.

As with many of my strategies, you have to develop a durable position from which you can launch an all out attack.

What is a durable position? It is a position with either a lot of space or that rests beyond a technical level that is considered "safe" (price is unlikely to get there in 3-9 hours depending on the TF).

When I observe the daily chart, I am looking to trade off of the CC extremes (3-day) but I am usually trading based on the weekly.

In answer to your question: 3 or 9 day extremes (shifted) w/ a weekly chart in the middle (it is acceptable to use an 8H CC where the 9 period is 3 days).

Again I say, I do NOT use stops as they are for people who want to be stopped out (I want to make money).

These are the methods that I use (they actually work) but you can do whatever adds a zero to your account by year end.

Long trades:
1) Find the last short MOMO (A), which is not zeroed out
2) Find first long MOMO (B) before (A), which is not zeroed out and is below low of (A)
3) Entry at open (B)
4) Exit at open (A)
5) SL according to timeframe or your money management risk rules

ugh...
