(I have not marked all H1)

Drill 2: Find Weak H1 / L1

Instructions

  • Look for H1 / L1 where the signal bar is weak.
  • Did traders want for confirmation? See A
(I have not marked all L1)
  • Here see the 2 L1’s together – traders didn’t find a lot of sellers below, but the 2nd one worked. (I have not marked all L1)
(I have not marked all L1)
  • The Low 1 was not technically the bull bar – although traders sold it, it was the bear bar that followed
Unclear / Weak L1, traders wanted for confirmation (I have not marked all L1)
Weak H1, traders wanted a confirmation (I have not marked all H1)
Weak L1, ii, traders waited for confirmation (I have not marked all L1)
Confusing H1 (Bear Bar) traders waited for the real one (I have not marked all H1)

Drill 3: Going below a H1 / above a L1

  • Look for H1 where price went BELOW the signal bar (Or a L1 where price went above the signal bar
  • Mark the signal bar with an arrow
  • Draw lines above and below the signal bar

Here we didn’t’ go above the H1 signal bar so traders stayed short (I have not marked all L1)
Went below it twice, reversal (I have not marked all H1)
Went above twice, reversed above (I have not marked all L1)
Went below H1 a few times, reversal from there (I have not marked all H1)
Strongly broke above it, measured move up (I have not marked all L1)
