You always hear stories about make or break.

I think I just got made.

The market has only 3 questions.

Are they taking the rat poison? (E-16)

Are we going parabolic? (8 EMO)

Are we going catastrophic? (E-4)

You see, these 3 moving averages are more of question marks.

A sustainable new directional move is decided in the thick of things. If they don’t get approval up front, the loose move will reverse itself from the neighborhood of the 30BB.

A move never starts away from the E-16. A stochastic bar miss is a neutralizer, a call for repeating question 1.

I must say it was very beneficial having to think about the filters.

With the Catastrophic Exits (stochastic bars) I had to allow for an extra bar displacement from the fractal.

if (High[i]>=iHigh(symbol,0,iHighest(symbol,0,MODE_HIGH,20,i)) &&     
 i>0 && iFractals(symbol,0,MODE_UPPER,i) && ExtMapBuffer3[i]==EMPTY_VALUE && ExtMapBuffer3[i-1]==EMPTY_VALUE){
    j=i+2;
    while (j<i+30){
      if (iFractals(symbol,0,MODE_UPPER,j) && (ExtMapBuffer3[j]!=EMPTY_VALUE || ExtMapBuffer3[j-1]!=EMPTY_VALUE)) break;
      j++;
    }

With the Rat Poison buys, I had to become conscious about the Tres Insoldati Spaciren pattern, the need for the low to be sticking out, the higher lows et cetera.

This is no longer a subjective feel. I had to weed out sudden range expansions and have a minimum size set for the starting lower wick.

If you can tell me why was the last hourly candle was a sell signal, we could start a conversation about a joint signal providing service as long as you are Ok with Macdulio’s Rat Poison Trading for a company name. What just happened here?
