Hi Paras
To identify Trend reversals in median line method,is similar to basic concepts in TA..ie HH,HL,LH,LL pivots ,and as per time frame we judge how the trend is.The reversal zones of a particular swing will be when the price reaches the upper and lower ends of the median line set , what is noted as UMLH and LMLH.However, the price action on reaching these zones will be the trigger to initiate a trade in the reverse direction.
In Fib retracements, the strength of a swing direction is assessed as to how much it retraces as per Fib ratios.Lesser pullbacks , probability of trend continuation is present.But when the move is occurring, to assess where it can reverse , whether 23.6,38.2,61.8.76.4 % , Median lines do give a direction while using it in conjunction with Fib R %.The main rule which states ,the probability that price will move towards the ML is 80 % .So within a channel, where price moves towards the Median line, fib R % projected on to the ML roughly gives an idea where it can reach.The point where the price meets the median line is where , the price action needs to be watched.
Coming to comparing with Elliot waves, here there is no counting of waves or rules about wave length like W1,W2,W3 ,corrective waves etc etc....However, the number of pivots are counted and the reversal probability are greater after a count of 5,7,9,11 pivots.The Swing is basically projected with the previous two pivots using a median line set, with the hypothesis
that the swing will meet the ML 80 % of the time.When it does not meet the ML, and moves out of the channel,then it is because the trend of the earlier swing continues.
My approach is combining Median lines,Channel lines and Price action with some basic self designed rules.Of course all the other TA stuff one accumulates over the years with Elliot waves , Fib ratios,Moving Averages,Patterns etc also influence decisions.It is a discretionary method where because it is not a mechanical system,emotions can overrule many times in decisions,which can be tough on the account.But the method, based on a way of thinking offers a lot of creative stimulation and makes this journey more interesting.Hopefully it should translate to better profits too.....:thumb:
