I think the system has room to improve, that is why I invite your comment and suggestion.

:D :D

More Inspiration

As I mentioned before, I feel the system still has room to improve. I will write down some of my observations.

1. Slope: m = (Y2 - Y1)/(X2-X1)
e.g. For TL12, Slope is equal to (F2-F1)/B, F2 is fractal 2 (High 2 or Low 2) while F1 is the fractal 1, B is the bars between F1 and F2

2. There are 3 cases of Slope: 0, +ve, -ve

3. Combination of the Slopes [TL12, TL23, TL34] are:
[0, 0, 0] [0, +, 0] [0, -, 0]
[0, 0, +] [0, +, +] [0, -, +]
[0, 0, -] [0, +, -] [0, -, -]

[+, 0, 0] [+, +, 0] [+, -, 0]
[+, 0, +] [+, +, +] [+, -, +]
[+, 0, -] [+, +, -] [+, -, -]

[-, 0, 0] [-, +, 0] [-, -, 0]
[-, 0, +] [-, +, +] [-, -, +]
[-, 0, -] [-, +, -] [-, -, -]

Hi Kenykau very interesting concept. I will practice this method. I am a Nanningbob follower and hopefully I can incorporate this method into the 10.6 system which will help me to get into retracements of the trend quicker and more effectively or even get into counter trend trades. Hopefully I can give you feed back once I get more used to this concept. Hope others will also show interest in this. Looks good to me.

Hi Wavegarrick,
Thanks for your interest.
I hope the concept can help others. I am still improving the FTLS. Any idea are welcome

Hi Ken

Just to check if I am getting the concept right. A setup has presented itself on the Nu 1Hr. I have not marked the lines but you would know what I am talking about. TL23 is higher then TL12 and TL34 so it means that the immediate trend is up so I have taken the trade on the break of TL14. Don't worry its all on demo just testing :) My immediate target would be TL34 and ultimate target TL23 which would act as resistance. Let me know if I am getting it wrong.

Cheers Wavegarrick.

Yes, that is what I use the system.
But for TL23 as resistance, I think the price may take some time to reach.

Recall the Slope Matrix:
[0, 0, 0] [0, +, 0] [0, -, 0]
[0, 0, +] [0, +, +] [0, -, +]
[0, 0, -] [0, +, -] [0, -, -]
[+, 0, 0] [+, +, 0] [+, -, 0]
[+, 0, +] [+, +, +] [+, -, +]
[+, 0, -] [+, +, -] [+, -, -]
[-, 0, 0] [-, +, 0] [-, -, 0]
[-, 0, +] [-, +, +] [-, -, +]
[-, 0, -] [-, +, -] [-, -, -]

Consider the General Case of Up Trend: TL23 is the max of the trend lines, therefore, we can reduce our matrix to:
[] [0, +, 0] []
[] [0, +, +] []
[] [0, +, -] []
[] [+, +, 0] []
[] [+, +, +] []
[] [+, +, -] []
[] [-, +, 0] []
[] [-, +, +] []
[-, 0, -] [-, +, -] [-, -, -]

The case is reduced to 11 cases

In Down Trend, TL23 is the MIN of the trend lines, like above, we reduce the matrix to:
[] [] [0, -, 0]
[] [] [0, -, +]
[] [] [0, -, -]
[] [] [+, -, 0]
[+, 0, +] [+, +, +] [+, -, +]
[] [] [+, -, -]
[] [] [-, -, 0]
[] [] [-, -, +]
[] [] [-, -, -]

The 2nd column is dominated by Up Trend Pattern while 3rd is Dn Trend.

The most important thing are:
in the Up trend matrix, a valid pattern is in the 3rd column.
in the Dn trend matrix, a valid pattern is in the 2nd column.
