Saturday's topics will include:
One and two bar patterns indicate dramatic short-term changes in psychology and therefore price trends. Since they take into consideration highs and lows, Martin feels that for many people they offer better and more reliable signals than candlesticks. They certainly offer signals close to turning points and allow the realistic close placement of stops which limits risk. Patterns covered will include, outside bars, inside bars, gaps, two and three bar reversals, Pinocchio, key reversal and exhaustion bars. These patterns only have short-term significance, but when they appear in the charts with the right conjugation of indicators they often develop at major turning points. Martin will explain how to recognize such juncture points.
