Hey Red, félicitation pour ces beaux trades. But i am a bit perplexed, why did you go long when you admit the short were in control by the look of the gomcd and a bit later you wrote "the gomcd remained flat showing a short exhaustion". Is the gomcd simply a decoration on your chart or you really use it ?

Thx, It's always the same setup, I entered on the 2nd SD; at that time I didn't know who was in control, I scaled in, as usual, as the shorts were stronger. Looking for pullbacks, the GomCD helped me visualize when the shorts have exhausted their action, I moved the target higher as with a few delta values the longs were able to catch back. In most of the cases the gomcd helps me manage my position.

You can notice on the last entry a reversal bar which combined with the gomcd gave me the signal of a market switch

Redratsal greating trading and I love your preciseness. I have been following your posts and videos and find them rather interesting. I have been trying to get my charts to look like yours but I can't figure out what indicators and setting for the indicators you use. I was wondering if there is anyway to post a template with the indicators and settings. Just want to make sure that I have the same charts so that I can follow and study correctly.

Thanks
Hector

Very nice trading RRS . I wanted to ask you what the triple reversal pattern is , Im not familiar with your paint bar study and dont have nt7 installed to download it . Also , have you considered entering as price starts to indicate momentum is picking up after its encountered the outer bands ? For example , price encounters the outer resistance band then a bar closes as part of a bearish reversal pattern you deem likely to continue downwards . You may have explained these and sorry if I missed it , thanks and keep up the great posts buddy .
