PRICE ACTION

“Now, 2 patterns of market behavior happen on a regular basis:
1) the price breaks to new highs (or lows)
2) the price reverses from new highs (or lows)
They happen regardless of time frame .
They are phenomena that can be exploited without the fear if found out by others, that they might cease to
exist.” - H. Rearden

1) Price will either breakout of the high, low or both of the previous bar
2) Price will not breakout of the previous bar.
3) Price will either close above a level (line) or not.

You cannot reduce it any further. Anything else complicates the issue.

STATE CHANGE

There are 4 states:

1 - Higher High and Higher Low (HH)
2 - Lower HIgh and Lower Low (LL)
3 - Higher High and Lower Low (OB - Outside Bar)
4 - Lower High and High Low (IB - Inside Bar)

HHHLdays is number of days of higher highers and higher lows.

LHLLdays is number of days of lower highs and lower lows.


Of course, you can sort those columns as you please.

15minofPham I noticed something in Forex and coded it. I am applying it to equities here.

If you wait for a state change, usually the next bar makes a nice move.

You may want to watch my YouTube channel for trading tips. https://www.youtube.com/therumpledone

I will do videos about state change.

Sounds good TRO. As always, thank you for your contribution. Too bad there isn't a way to backtest this to find out how much the avg move is before it ends.

Same as above without all of the state columns.

When price changes state "something" is going to happen.
