Joel, thanks for suggesting ways to use the sequential in combination with other indicators.

All of the methods and indicators that you suggested seem very logical and well thought-out. I particularly like the approach of waiting for the ADX to turn and also to look for some level of compression in prices before one takes a position. In a sense it does what Demark suggests in terms of looking ofr the intersection and some level of price stability before taking a position. Have you looked at using the weekly sequential as a filter and then the daily charts for determining entry based on some of the very same indicators that you mentioned.

As you know, I favor the use of mechanical systems--the lazy person's approach. It has the enormous advantage that it takes away the subjective/emotional component in trading. I use a completely mechanical system for trading futures. However, I have not been able to develop a really good system for trading stocks--but I never stop trying:)

The sequential approach has the promise of a good filter for trading opportunities. I now need to find an effective "trigger" mechanism for entering the trade and back test it with some historical data. I'll share with you thoughts that I develop in this regard after I get going on this. Now that I have filed my return, it should be possible for me to put some time into this:)

Take care and thanks again for your input.
