Dhootankur, Vinst post a picture perfect example of a bullish 1-2-3 in post# 7232. He was also the first to point out the bearish 1-2-3 that just formed.
The bullish 1-2-3 contains all the qualities of what I call a perfect 1-2-3:
1. It forms at the end of the previous trend.
2. The 3 was formed on a minimum 78.6% correction of 1>2.
3. There is perfect symmetry. Approximately the same amount of candles forms the 1>2 as the 2>3.
Your live example is still a 1-2-3, but not quite as perfect. It lacks symmetry and the 2>3 is only 61.8% of the 1>2.
Posted is not a live example but one of Nifty that was formed on the weekly. Look to the far west. I drew the Fibo just to show what a perfect correction looks like, as it corrected exactly 78.6%.
A 1-2-3 at the end of a trend is one way that shows the trend has definitely given out.
I could post other charts, but I would have to do it for other markets, and don't want to in this thread.
The thing about perfect 1-2-3's is that you have to be looking for them. They don't just pop up on a daily basis. They yield a huge amount of points/pips when they do. The guy I learned some tips from concerning 1-2-3's takes about 2-3 trades per month, and he trades as low as the hourly. His winning trades are insane with little pullback. It's extremely rare when he has a losing trade.
@Trader_boy: Review the posted chart for the answer to your question in my next post.
