General help
Trading Advice - a look at the ideal patterns
- Wave C Pattern - 3 main criteria: is the ABC corrective; does the correction have just 3 swings; does the pattern look good?
- Wave 5 Pattern - main criteria: is the 5 wave pattern symmetrical and does it start at an important pivot?
- High Volume Spike (VSA) Setup Part 1 - 3 main criteria: does the VSA High Volume Spike bar break a prior high/low; does the VSA bar reverse at good support/resistance (usually a DP level); is the VSA bar followed immediately by a colored reversal bar in the correct direction?
- High Volume Spike (VSA) Setup Part 2- continuation from Part 1, however using WPT levels rather than DP levels.
- Larger Degree Trend -Essential viewing for trading "with the larger degree trend".
