4 to 9 Bar Cycle Count

4 to 9 Bar Cycle Count -

 Most markets follow the 4 to 9 Bar Cycle Count from low to high and high to low.

The cycle count is accurate for all markets and all time frames. 

Meaning, it does not matter if you are trading pork bellies, currencies, indexes, or bonds; the cycle count is valid in all markets and all time frames, 1,4,6,10, 15, 40, 60, 120, etc minute charts.

The Alpha CycleWave indicator plots these cycle counts in real-time. 

The setup is to wait for the market to reach a cycle bottom or top and exit positions. This gives you the "timing" to look for when markets are likely to turn. 

There are what we call "extended cycles". This is when the market will go past the 9 bar cycle count. You can look for these extended cycle counts in trending markets. 

We suggest to look at all time frames. Meaning, if the 60 minute chart is only 3 bars up, and the 5 minute chart is making a 7 to 9 bar cycle high, it may be best to wait for the 5 minute bottom to go long rather than try to sell the short term cycle high. 

Many times on short term charts, they may enter into what we call a C-Zone pattern. The C-Zone patterns means the market will congest into a sideways movement rather than a correction. 

Opposite closes - During a 4 to 9 bar cycle move, you will almost always see opposite closes along the way. These closes do not mean the move is over. Try not to get caught into these traps. Understand that these opposite closes happen.

Walter Bressert's Best Trade Setup

Image
 Walter Bressert's Best Trade Setup -  When my father developed the Green Line (Double Stoch) and the Red Line (B-Line Bressert Line), he really had something. He did this in the early 90's. These 2 indicators tell a story you will never see with any other 2 sets of indicators.  What is the set up? The set up is simple. If the Red line is in the sell zone, and the Green Line is in the buy zone, that is a buy. Vice versa for a sell short entry model.  That's it.  The Red Line is momentum based and the Green Line comes down into zones to show the "When" to look to enter. We look for this all day to occur and they occur often enough to wait for them. We always say if there is just ONE model to follow, this could be the one.  https://cycletraderpro.com Video

Price "FILL" Advantage

Image
Cycle Trader Pro's trade models suggest to never go all in on your first entry level and at the same time reach for the first fill to start the trade. The first fill and how you find this price level is key to your exit price level(s) and the 2nd entry. If you have a contract limit of 20 contracts for example. The the models suggest to start with 10% of you set limits, and at the same time use the same number of contracts at each consecutive entry level.

Consecutive Closes Trade Model

Image
Consecutive Closes - The Consecutive Closes model suggests that the market will go 3 to 4+ consecutive close in a row before there is an an opposite close, or reversal in the trend.   The model does not mean the current trend is over; it suggest a setback is anticipated.  Current Bar -  The current bar is counted into the Consecutive Closes model.  Meaning, if there were 3 green bars up with up closes. and the current bar is also above it's opener, this would count as bar 4.  But, if the current bar closes below it's opening, then the past view would have been 3 consecutive closes up, then the reversal bar.  How to trade Consecutive Closes?  This model is also known as Ops Up / Ops Down, but once you get to 3 to 4 plus bars, you can expect some type of set back. Keep in mind this does not mean the move is over, just a set back. https://cycletraderpro.com
