Hi Doji!

What do you mean with this statement?
Thank you much! :)


What I means is it takes a Momentum in each direction to form a zone. Then you will get a retrace. Dropping a time zone will show you the way its gonna go by Momentum breaking either the top or the bottom of the zone. Which will turn into Momentum on the higher time frame.

so if the zone is not the trigger (I thought it was hence the selling when price was moving up to and into the zone and vice versa). But were supposed to wait for a new momo bar? But then wont price be above the ema and a large chunk of the move done. I included a AJ chart as example

No thats not what I meant. Momentum is followed by non momentum as zones evolve.

Ok. Lets assume that I understand/agree with/and now know how to trade that piece of the puzzle.

Now what about places where candles change color (dragon lines). You talk about it and show examples earlier in the thread. Is this still used and how.

Sure its still used, over my thread period I have tried to explain PA, Momentum as I saw it in a variety of ways. Its the same thing...
Look at a bearish Momentum, then bullish Momentum, you have to have a color change do you not?
I will point out, due to many things I say get over looked. I use sema's. Notice my trades the Bearish Momentum is always opposite the Bullish Momentum with a sema in the middle. In forum atmosphere's its sometimes easy to miss the obvious. In the small group of friends I teach I hear it often about a zone not working. 1- I ask, where is your sema? 2- I ask, did you reverse when the zone failed? Usually I hear, "oh" and "no" . The stats are based on my Sema use and reversals when it fails. Trading on steroids!

I was going to make a post about that. Learning on a forum compared to real time. But that hit it on the head. That's why I try to ask so many dumb questions about every different little idea. But hey Im not doing to bad. Could have had 90 pips off of GU. But im gonna be greedy and see if the news release pushes me lower.
