You want to look at the total bullish% as well, not just the direction.
 
dow jones index.
40 point box size with a 3 box reversal.hilo data config.a 45 degree downtrend line with vertical counts
on the lower chart is the macd calculated from the middle of the columns.not the close as in candle/bar charting.the setiing is 8/15,smoothing ema is 9
we can see that there is a regular peak divergence between the oscillator and price.a very strong signal providing support holds

S&P 500
4 points box size.3 box reversal.hilo data.a 45 degree downtrendlinea macd set on 5/12/9.there is a sequential divergence betwen price and oscillator.however,sequential signal is not as strong as immediate divergence.there is a cluster of counts at approx 1200.if the macd reverses then there will be immediate divergence/a stronger signal

an interesting chart of the s&p 500.i have put on a 1 box reversal chart.this is long term.
a 5% box size.ie each box is 60 points.1 box reversal ie 60 points and the columns reverse.
observations:
price is in a downtrend,the last signal was a double-bottom at 1370 area.the 45 degree downtrend line has kept in the recent price action.however,notice the support area at 1240/this weeks price range.this is looking to be very important.
notice the step action of the downtrend with the recoil.the horizontal count is approx 1030.bear in mind that this is longer term.at the bottom is the years for this chart

Hey dentist,
thanks for keeping the thread alive, interesting charts.
So I've began my foray into day trading with P&F using QuoteTracker to create the charts (let the UpData trial lapse)

Basically I look for a breakout and then a pullback, and buy once the trend resumes again (assuming it pulls back all the way to the previous close of the O column - perhaps I should not restrict it to that?)

Also make sure it is in a solid up/down trend.

So, trading 100 shares of stock at a time, of an admittedly randomly selected group of stocks has led me to have the following results:

Wednesday: +108
Thursday: +137
Friday: +187

I seem to be getting better?

I will post some charts when I get a chance tomorrow
 
Okay, here is an example.

What I noticed when I first started looking into P&F was that, after a breakout, there was usually a pullback. I hated seeing those drawdowns. So why not buy at the pullback?

So I look for situations where the price breaks out, falls back to the previous O column, and then reverses 1 box (to confirm resuming of the trend).

Thoughts? Am I getting lucky pursuing a ridiculous strategy?
