Hi Wayne,
Yep, the trigger is technically the current direction -- momentum -- of a market on that time frame chart. While it's the pattern(s) we are most iinterested in. Trade when the direction -- trigger -- is aligned w/ the appropriate pattern(s). Most indicators and methods only focus on direction, i.e. momentum.
I never worry about giving anything away. In my experience it takes many months even w/ full access to everything we teach to get to the point where the student is comfortable risking their hard-earned money in the market place.
here is a great example of time shifting the 10-day pattern lower -- see chart. I took the change-of-direction lower on this chart because it was inline w/ the 5 & 10-day patterns. Cha-ching. The day before the 10 day pattern was still higher inline w/ the 25-day pattern so I was buying dips.
It is going to be a great year my man!
