This is a forum/blog/diary that I hope to start looking at the market from a higher level down. Through Industry/Sector Groups and Indices and various Market Indices. DDT - Distorted Dow Theory. The idea being that one sticks with the strong and picks on the weak.
The emphasis is purely TA. I do not want any fundamental analysis voodoo clouding things up here. All aspects TA are welcome, and appreciated.
Good luck

My timeframes and terminology:
Timeframes
LTBH - Long Term Buy and Hold LT - Long Term IT - Intermediate Term ST1 - Short Term (or ST) ST2 - Intraday ST3 - Intraday Entry
LTBH - corresponds to the swings in (5-13 period) quarterly stoch. LT - corresponds to the swings in (5-13 period) monthly stoch. IT - corresponds to the swings in (5-13 period) weekly stoch. ST1 - corresponds to the swings in (5-13 period) daily stoch. ST2 - corresponds to the swings that last 1 -3 days. ST3 - corresponds to the 1 - 3 swings that we see intraday
Terminology:
My indicators are 'effectively' oscillators so they tend to signal a change before the actual trend has changed. I therefore look at the higher order timeframe to give me clues as to whether to follow them. Looking for supporting divergences, momentum, or trends.
MOMENTUM - Defining direction by use of momentum indicators. Noisy and does give false signals. PIVOTS - Defining direction by the arrangement of recent pivot bars to each other. Noisy and does give false signals. PIVOTHIGH - The high of the most recent reference pivot bar. PIVOTLOW - The low of the most recent reference pivot bar. FLAG - Warning of indicators reaching either o/sold or o/bt against trend/direction in the (next) higher timeframe. "*" = Possible Reversal approaching! "**" = Probable Reversal approaching! TRENDOSCILLATOR - Long (21-55 period) stochastic/momentum indicators. TRENDSTRENGTH - An indicator (lags price) that I use to quantify a Trend. TREND+ - The Trend in the higher timeframe.
