James are these all kelter bands or are some bollinger bands? They look like bollinger bands to me.

Hi,

I was busy this last w/e and this thread has exploded!

Anyway, many thanks to James for starting a great thread.

I have some catching up to do and so I hope you don't mind some belated questions.

How can I tell the difference between a double bar low higher close which indicates the price is going up and a double bar low (higher close) trend breakout and where would you set the entry point as you say in one of your posts to "play the retracement".

Many thanks
Alan

GREAT QUESTIONS, the answer is a bit complicated. i may use charts to show after the post. the short answer is i play both. charts to come.

i am not sure if i want to do this yet but how many of you would like me to actually post potential trades.
james, coming from you, i think that would be incredibly valuable to post potential trades.
Relax and be happy.

merlin, could you do a basic el code for me on the lower and higher close bar entries. i would want the stops and targets to be changeable by me for further study. i would appreciate any help. jim
james, i will do the EL code and some backtesting on this pattern. give me until the first week of July though. right now i am on to some breakthrough research that i have to focus on for the rest of this month.

btw, ive researched similar patterns, albiet on different time frames, and im interested to see how your system compares...
Relax and be happy.

thank you sir, no hurry, i already know it works i have just always wanted to find a way to take as much subjectivity out as possible. backtesting could help me do that.

what i may end up doing is just putting up a chart with basic info. if i do it needs to be understood that the trader is responsible for entry and exit techniques. as i have said two traders can take the same signal and one will win and the other will lose thier shirt. i like being here to much to watch people i like lose money because they just are not ready for playing charts instead of signal services with entry, stop and profit all in one. i have been working for a couple of months on a websight, many of you here will get it free if and when its ready. jim

Thank you Jim for your generous sharing. I didn't realize how many charts you had posted until I was saving them for reference. Your work is awesome and much appreciated! I'm always looking for a new perspective or new imput and you have inspired me to look at things a little differently.
I have a question for you if you don't mind: Do you use any indicators besides what you are currently displaying on your charts to filter out false breakouts?
Pat yourself on the back from all of us....this is a great thread!
Thanks, Candy

good question but no i really do not use anything to filter as you say. my exp has been if you play them smart you are going to make money. the problem i have had with trying to filter is when i find one, it works for a while and then due to something it stops, so i dont use them. jim

bring on the charts Jim! people will probably get mad at you because they can't take responsibility for their own actions like subscribing to signal services, but who cares i'm learning a ton and i hope you keep helping us all out. also i look forward to the website, i hope it isn't if but when! thanks alot for all your efforts.

Thanks for your wisdom, Jim! That's exactly what I've been experiencing, so I have been trying to simplify my charts.
Whew, I'm not going crazy after all! The one thing that I do use though is Murrey Math lines but only for support and resistance.
I love the simplicity of your approach, elegant, but simple. You give us all something to strive for. Candy
