IS THAT IT??

My understanding of it, is that you have the MOMO bar break a level. That level becomes the Z-Line.

You then wait for price to drop back toward that line, to wick it (but not close over it) then enter as price once again leaves the Z-Line in the direction of the original MOMO.

If I'm wrong, I will take my slap about the head - but hey, that's how I've been running it. It does work :)


Can you annotate a chart? Thanks.

Price returned to the RETurn line.

You can see price RETurned this time.

Failed the time before that. Would have been a scratch trade in real time.

Something I have been doing profitably:

I noticed price usually retraces the bigger bars sometime in the near future and I wait and trade accordingly.

"Identify the most recent momo bar and trade TOWARD its open from an extreme."

The orange lines highlight bars 5 pips or bigger.

I guess I still don't get "ZLines".


If you get a large push in one direction - MOMO - then drop a fib on that bar and trade as price drops back towards the 50.

On left, price makes a new high (level) 'A'

We then get a MOMO bar that breaks that level...'B'

Price then retraces to / towards the level...and we enter as it touches (doesn't close below) and goes back up...'C'

Your Return Trade (RET-Trade) simply adds in the retrace back to the Z-Line and would no doubt be a RAT-style entry, though doesn't have to be a true RAT.

Thanks for the annotation. I sure had it backwards!

Actually a RAT, HOLO, 1-2-3 and/or WICK ZONE.

If it is in the daily ATR ZONE, that would be a bonus!

Looking at the monthly... Notice how price returns to the open of the RETurn bar.

I remember reading/hearing those big bars means there were traders left empty handed at the open price of the bar so price returns to the open price so they can get in on the action.

Z-Lines aren't always RAT, HOLO, 1-2-3 and / or Wick Zone, because the levels ('A' on that chart) don't HAVE to be new highs or lows on the day but just have to be a distinct level-of-interest.

They could just as easily be in the middle of the day's range.
