Module 2 · Three tools: 1.382, valid points, rhythm lines

Measure 1.382, find valid points and draw rhythm lines yourself.

  1. 06Two drawing tools: Fibonacci and percentage linesThe whole method uses two tools; snap to highs and lows, wicks count.Text
  2. 07ABCD and 1.382: trends start from a first shapeA rise-dip-rise is a first shape; D must touch BC’s 1.382 for it to count.Text
  3. 081.382 tells strengthTouching 1.382 is strength; missing it means wait.Text
  4. 09Three conditions for a valid pointA fractal or 3+ candles, 1.382 reached, drop a timeframe if unclear.Text
  5. 10Strength lines: when 1.382 was missedA point that missed 1.382 still gives a line, but only as resistance.Text
  6. 11How to draw a rhythm lineCarry the first pullback’s ratio along each new high to get the rhythm line.Text
  7. 12Three jobs of a rhythm lineAt the line: resistance; short of it: direction holds; reaching it or not shows strength.Text
  8. 13A new definition of trendUptrend: pullbacks stop higher; downtrend: bounces stop lower.Text
  9. 14Pushing on and coming backNot touching lines is a push; lines broken back to points is a return.Text

Read daily, 4h and 1h as one picture with four logics.

  1. 15Turning points and the three questions of every tradeCan I enter, can I defend, is there room: answer all three first.Coming soon
  2. 16Watch only the nearest two valid pointsMany valid points form in a push; trade off the nearest two.Coming soon

  4. 18Logics 3 and 4Pullbacks tend to stop where main and lower-timeframe levels overlap.Coming soon
  5. 19Perfect pushes and overlapping pushesComplete-then-rebuild is one model; extending after a pending turn is often stronger.Coming soon
