You misunderstand, sir.

I needed a starting point so I could have a link to the beginning of this series of posts.

That is why I use what I call "dynamic" mid-points. Ones that flow with price. It is working fairly well.

I use a base of 30. Mainly because it created what I was looking for. Since I see the market in a more geometric way as opposed to mathematical, a progression off the base of 30 x the multiple for each higher time frame I use. This gives me a decent framework that I think is working well.

My choice for input value for indicators is completely arbitrary. There was no mathematical calculations to get to THE number. It was all "the look". For the Hulls I wanted a smoother "wave" look. It took a few iterations until I settled on the number "30". This became the base parameter. That is, I use the same number for any time frame. M1 Hull = 30 periods. M5 Hull = 30 periods. And so on.

I then use the time period as the multiplication factor to get that longer time frame Hull on the same chart. If it is M5 and I want an M15 it would be 5 x 3 = 15. Real basic. So, using a base of 30 for the M5 results in 90 for the M15, 30 x 3 = 90. And so forth.

I then incorporated the Kijun as a "dynamic" mid-point. Dynamic meaning moving. Sounds better. I settled on using the same periods as the Hulls for simplicity and those periods work just fine for my purposes.

The time durations are only for better understanding of the period encompassed by the Kijuns. These times are nothing more than the result of the parameters I have arbitrarily chosen. All I know is they work.

Putting the dynamic mid-points on the charts has brought about somewhat of a paradigm shift for me, at the same time reinforcing many of my theories.

Anyone familiar with Kijuns knows they are nothing more than the midpoint over a specific period and that they will move as new highs/lows are added or when older highs/lows are dropped. Like the Hulls, the Kijuns have a buy side and a sell side. They are also an equilibrium point. Over time I incorporated trading to/from various mid-points. And all was settling into an acceptable scalping routine when I decided it was time to look at the bigger picture.

That is where the shift occurred. What I have is both a scalping system and a swing trading system all in one. And it is pretty close to catching most significant moves.

Going to go pat myself on the back ...

I am still not (and may never be) a swing trader. But the H1 and M15 Kijun used together can get you into some nice moves. Not all the time. If you are looking for something like that I gave you an example method, go get it.

I am looking more for moves I can exploit for a set amount in a specific time period. Here is a possible candidate. Great timing.
