here's another insight .. if you get a failed signal, e.g. 84 short that just came in - if that's followed by another signal in same direction in quick succession(e.g. 78 short), the follow up signal seems v.reliable .. maybe double down on follow up signal?

notice the 123 to get back into trend high was 94 2 point was 85 not a lot of room, but when the 2b formed there was plenty and it went straight down or you can do what john just stated double on it

Divergence, on the chart, assuming low was not taken out, is the trend considered up or sideways? And if its sideways, we do not take any signals till trend is established?

As long as low is not taken out trend still up but if it goes sideways it would be safer to wait till market moves again
