This belongs to the realm of additional components. Without giving too much away; 1-I did consider news. I generally do not worry about news, because it is actually very surprising to many (even myself early on), that news respects the general swing ...

*sits back and watch* No seriously lol, this thread is open now for you to test out stuff like this, to find your own additional components. Just do your own thing, and post results and conclusions if any.

upswing WR=(max(close, open) - start of current swing)) downswing WR=(start of current swing - min(close, open)) Yup I don't mind, it does work and I didn't know about max and min functions. Good thinking. Thank you. Watch the difference between the ...

The barros swings indicator IMO will not do because of the swing formula differences. I had found that it tends to over filter out too much price action in my experience. Thank you for the offer but sorry...

Wanted to post this earlier but decided to go for lunch 1st. FYI the future down swing has already printed at this time of writing. image

Yes this is true, and realistically we don't and can't watch all the retracements happened within the swing. This is the problem I have with classical MTF. Yes, the swing formation is combined with price level plus time/candle count. You got this ...

It did become very useful on a practical level, because now I have a reasonable model of price movement. Not manually drawn or eyeballed on the chart, but properly quantified and qualified. At least this has helped me better visualize and almost ...

Thank you. Yes because there is a time (M30 x 7) qualifier and price (has to breakout of the box as a leading candle) qualifier for it. This filter cuts out a lot of the 'noise', but it does not mean the 'noise' isn't useful; a good lot of it is ...

They look great. Thanks Pete. I would use the candle's open-close direction. If the candle is a neutral candle, then I would use midpoint-close. Yes this sort of odd thing does happen and I do account for it. Good question. Yes. I run my PTe ...

The Scientific Method : MMLC (major move life cycle) v12

I discussed a part of it here ( url ), and later refined the PTe work to the point M30 x 7 is really good.

The Scientific Method : MMLC (major move life cycle) v12

But you are a genius lol. Yes. No of coz picking random spots for price to stop and then retrace minimally would be a bad idea. Yes, if you can project where the current swing end would be, that is the 1st thing to look for, then the minimal retrace ...

No probs Pete.... I would continue. I am actually down to my 'final post' for this thread, so I am sure you are able to catch up irregardless.

The Scientific Method : MMLC (major move life cycle) v12

Looks good. Now we have to wait for Pete.

The Scientific Method : MMLC (major move life cycle) v12

Correct.

The Scientific Method : MMLC (major move life cycle) v12

I realized I should correct this to : -Down Trend = previous swing is up and current swing is down, previous swing low IS broken by current swing AND current swing's end candle wick price is beyond previous swing low -Up Trend = previous swing is ...

No probs... we all learn =)

The Scientific Method : MMLC (major move life cycle) v12

Hi Pete I think you got all the results off the mark. Perhaps there's something off / a bug in your logic? To recap here : -Down Trend = previous swing is up and current swing is down, previous swing low IS broken by current swing AND current ...

The Scientific Method : MMLC (major move life cycle) v12

Yes Yes Yup they don't and it can be fair. You are going into to 100% probability of all swings will retrace at least 10%. I read you and I am also tempted to do that initially for this thread. That both ends of the ratios can be 'further chopped ...
