# Consistent Features Among Signals

## More On Signals & Limits

Actionable parameters are drawn on the chart before price arrives there. Untouched levels are deleted. Touched levels remain. A signal’s arrow is deleted if not pierced by the minimum 3-4 tick qualification.

## Consistent Features Among Signals

– Signals are placed on the chart before price gets there.
 – I announce a signal’s level as I’m drawing it.
 – I describe its basis in my methodology (if not just adjusting an existing signal).
 – I discuss price action as it begins testing a signal for the first time.
 – Signals forever stay on the chart if at least touched.
 – The drawn signal speaks for itself as being the inflection point.
 – Several different strategies are available to execute on a signal.

## Active Traders

1. The inflection point’s buy signal is probed. Counter-trend noise (detour) is contained to its first 3 minutes, while awaiting reinforcements to arrive above the first 3-minute high’s probe.
 [ACTION: Buy-stop beyond the inflection point, or after monitoring the fluctuation that might develop around it.]

2. The probe is high enough to calculate a pullback (reaction) limit. Counter-trend sponsorship uses all available 3 minutes but probes no deeper before resuming the signal’s direction.

[ACTION: Consider scaling into an expanded position when the pullback’s 3-minute extreme is obvious, taking advantage of an attractive risk:reward.]

3. A target is labeled in this instance, and trending approaches it.
 [ACTION: Reassess the risk contained by a stop, compared to the shrinking reward as the target nears.]

4. Another pullback limit is tested, already reversing back up before using all of its allowable 3 consecutive minutes.
 [ACTION: Another opportunity to scale in more exposure. Until extending to enough of a higher high to calculate a new pullback limit, the pullback limit would “reset” to allow a new 3-minute test.]

5. Probing under the pullback limit test’s original 3-minute low violates it, and ends that sponsorship’s trending.
 [ACTION: Stops should have been adjusted to the pullback limit test’s low, or with a 1-2 point buffer below it.]

6. Deteriorating RSI and MACD suggested at least tightening an existing long position’s trailing stop, if not also considering a new short position’s stop-entry.
 [ACTION: Until either is triggered, the deteriorating technicals are a call for reinforcements to the existing position. Reinforcements often arrive.]
