ProfLogic, I want to lay out the structure first before getting too deep into the rules. This is to confirm what I think I know as the base for the rest.
All charts are CVB (Constant Volume Bars) to a power of 7 (the base).
A triplet chart set is used with consecutive exponents :
- Entry Chart = 7** N Volume
- Trading Chart = 7 ** (N+1)
- Strength Chart = 7 ** (N+2)
There are two lower indicators: a customized Ergodic signal line (adapted from Blau's TSI) and an Ergodic Histgram. The parameters (on all charts) are
Fast = 49, Slow = 49, Signal Length = 147, and Price Close
(vs Median, etc). I'll get deeper into this formula later.
Some definitions :
Oscillation = a change in slope direction (+/-) == on ERG & Histogram = change in color; on Price = Peak or Trough
PPF = Physical Price Failure = Oscillation Failing to make a HH or LL = Lower Peak or Higher Trough
Breach = Strong Breach = Price Oscillation making a HH or LL = Higher Peak or Lower Trough
Breach PPF = Breach Physical Price Failure = Breach with price change of 6 tics or less
Match PPF = Price Oscillation with the same High/Low as the previous oscillation
Weak PPF = Match PPF
Since all PPF & Breach variations are price oscillations (Peak/Troughs) then then same algorithm can be used to identify all, and then distinguish by comparing the current oscillation price to the previous; i.e., Abs(New â Previous) = Delta
- Delta > 6 == Breach
- 0 < Delta ≤ 6 == Breach PPF
- Delta = 0 == Match PPF
- Delta < 0 == PPF
I realize that some folks might consider this obvious to some, but I would prefer to avoid any invalid assumptions. ProfLogic, if you could just let me know please â is this exact or what needs re-writing?
TIA !
