Most traders are aware of the tendency of markets to experience a 3 - 4 bar rhythm of movement during a trend move. This rhythm manifests itself as a temporary break in the persistence of the longer term trend. For example, after putting in a low pivot the market moves up a number of bars before correcting for one, two or three bars before continuing the bullish trend. For the trader with a long position, we want to know when this rhythm begins and if it will persist for several bars and when the dominate trend will resume. We may wish to exit the long position, trade the correction and re-enter long when the rhythm is over. Day traders may wish to be aware of this rhythm and trade it intraday.It has long been my objective to identify the conditions at the beginnings of these rhythms and at their end and I believe I have done so.
 
The conditions have been coded as a show-me study in TradeStation which I call R34.The characteristics of this signal are that if on the bar after the signal, the market trades beyond the boundary of the signal bar, there is a high probability that it will close beyond that boundary in the next three days. Trades entered at the boundary have a high probability of closing in a profitable condition.
 
To research the potential of this signal I have investigated a number of equity applications on Daily charts. In my opinion the most difficult market to trade is the S&P 500 future. I applied the signal to the continuous S&P contract from 8/31/05 to 8/11/09. Entry was one point above the signal bar high for long and in point below the signal bar low for short. A profit was recorded if the market closed in a profitable condition before exceeding the stop loss value. No effort was made to maximize profit or minimize loss. The results were 105 profitable trades out of 143 trades for a reliability factor of 73.4 %.
I also applied the signal to the QQQQ's from 8/8/07 to 7/8/09 with entry 4 tics above the high or below the low and recorded 53 of 64 trades profitable for a reliability factor of 82.8%.
The signal applied to Juniper Networks, JNPR, from 10/5/07 to 8/20/09 resulted in 59 profitable trades out of 76 for a reliability factor of 77.63%.
 
Beginning in August, I applied the signal to the NASDAQ 100 and DOW 30 each week and recorded the performance. The results are below.
 
WEEK END    Profits    Losses    Total     Reliability
 
8/14                17            5            22        77.27%
8/21                46            5            51        90.19%
8/28                21            16            37       56.71%
9/4                   66            14          80        82.5%
 
TOTALS        150            40           190        78.9%
 
You can see from this data why I am excited about this discovery. I will be continuing to explore the application of this new signal however I am not ready to release it to the public.
