{quote} And another question: There are two other peaks that occur before FP2 -- why didn't you use either of these as the Top? What criteria or rule did you apply when deciding to use 1.49334 as the Top (instead of the others that are closer to FP2)? {image} PS: Okay, I think I know. It's because that's the tallest peak between FP2 and FP1, where FP1 is the FocalPoint that occurs around 17:48, right?

{quote} excellent question ! a) I forgot (oldage) b) I should have made these intermediate calculations to define intermediairy targets Target Cascade c) more seriously I remember precisely my choice , because at that time I suspected that CMA 256 went through the confirmed FP163264128 which was not the case afterwards. Then as a FP 5 CMA is are and important Ichoose the last big top as starting point. But the intermediate are valid too.

{quote} Sorry about that -- you should know better to ignore me if you're trading M1... And thanks for your response -- I'm getting a better sense of this now. I'm primarily trying to find the proper boundary between what's discretionary and what can be coded to facilitate trading Focal Points.

{quote} What's particularly interesting to me is that even though FP2 occurs in the middle of a strong upswing, the FocalPoint algorithm computes a guesstimated TargetPrice that recommends a SELL. And in hindsight it would have been correct. What it feels like to me is that after FP2 forms you Enter a trade and then ignore all subsequent bars because they won't have any effect on the guesstimated TargetPrice. You need to have faith that the algorithm will eventually smile on you even while the most recent bars might say otherwise. Is that a fair...

{quote} Excellent ! you begin to see the light The key is in the "theory" which allows us to understand how Moving Averages really work and what are their real qualities. Let me be clear up to 2006 I was like everyone else, looked at my screen and saw the MA's going up or down. Then I discovered Hurst through a booklet of TradingFive where they explain the CMA crossing of a Full Period CMA (ex 32) with a Half -Period CMA (e 16) to calculate a target price. After 5 / 10 minutes I told myself "I can do it" Then I bought Profit...

I started using computers in grad school -- we submitted punch cards to the computer services office and then waited 2 days to receive a printout saying our program had crashed. Boy -- those were the days...

{quote} Relying on SMA(128) really helps make it easier to identify potential FPs. The chart below includes a Fractal Channel indicator -- I think it serves a similar role as the channel lines you've drawn. In a bearish trend, I'm looking for SMA(128) to remain either within or below the fractal channel. If that condition holds -- even many bars after FP2 -- then I'm still fine opening a SELL trade. However, if SMA(128) has broken out of the Fractal Channel then I go looking for another setup. {image} {file}

I've got a practical method, here: 1. Identify the previous market (High Point to Low Point) which the current PA is the part of, 2. Identify the Focal Points - MA crosses with price, 3. Plot the middle line across the Focal Point which is available at the given moment. 4. The channel should span from the High to the Low of the branch where the FP's are, 5. The channel angle needs to be based on Double Top/Bottom High/Lows. Then we can use other chart levels, like specific prices and/or signals. If we get a nice confluence, we are pretty good to...
