With the nucleus of NPP now fully developed, I have shifted my focus to developing a routine for analyzing
all the component parts of my system simultaneously, with the goal being able to rightly integrate the counsel offered by their numerous signals such that my interpretation of what they are all telegraphing
as a conglomerate comes as close as possible to being flawless.
As part of the process, I am going to begin describing potential trade setups and giving them names (subject to change) so that they can be conveniently listed when the time comes...
THE TEMPORAL-BANK-SHOT
When a two- to three-hour price range envelope is sloping at a given angle, and candlesticks are forming on the half of the envelope
opposite that of the angle’s trajectory (on the side of the envelope
furthest away from the general direction in which price is flowing), traders may consider entering positions as candlesticks rebound, or are rejected, off the upper or lower band of the eight-hour temporal support or resistance channel (whichever is appropriate), in transition from a course
contrary to the pitch of the envelope to one that is
aligned with it.
RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL BASELINE
When the four-day baseline is sloping at a given angle, and candlesticks are forming on the side of the baseline
opposite that of the its trajectory, traders may consider entering positions as candlesticks reverse direction from a course
contrary to this measure's pitch to one that is
aligned with it, as implied by a reversal in the eight-hour baseline (and possibly confirmed by a reversal in the 16-hour baseline as well).
RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL CANDLESTICKS
When the eight-hour baseline is sloping at a given angle, and candlesticks are forming on the side of the baseline
opposite that of the its trajectory, traders may consider entering positions as candlesticks reverse direction from a course
contrary to this measure's pitch to one that is
aligned with it, as confirmed by a reversal in the 40-minute baseline (and possibly confirmed by a reversal in the two-hour baseline as well).
This is especially true if the move is backed up by the simultaneous rejection of price off the eight-hour temporal support or resistance level.
TWO-DAY BOUNDARY VIOLATION
Anticipate a possible, almost inevitable, regression toward the mean/mean reversion maneuver whenever candlesticks begin painting outside the upper or lower band of the two-day (48-hour) price range envelope at 1.70% deviation; as confirmed by a reversal in the two-hour to 2⅔-hour baseline (or if one wishes to trade aggressively, a reversal in the 40-minute and/or 70-minute baseline might be sufficient).
LONGER-TERM PRODIGAL SETUPS...
On a weekly chart, use the monthly baseline (constructed from the four-week moving average).
On a daily chart, consult the 8-day baseline.
Also consult the 4-day, 12-day and 40-day baselines.
