I trade the slope of the ITL directly. For example, based on my adaptive price range envelope I was waiting for AUDJPY to turn south after it crossed above 74.62 (see image below). It did so on the 24th of August. However, the reversal in the daily trend was never validated by my green confirmation moving average and of course is not even close to being certified by the "salt and pepper" weekly trend line. Consequently, the failure of the pair to follow through and then subsequently turn north again on the 28th was not to be altogether unexpected. The power of the ITL for me however is in translating it to the lower time frames, where it is matched up with/conveyed by the orange trend line on the one-hour chart below, with the green moving average governing entries and exits—reflecting the same reversals as the daily chart, but with more detail informing me as to exactly when and how I should handle/trade them. I therefore don't care about the color of the candlesticks on the daily chart because at that point I am looking at moving averages in the lower time frames. Note however that the above lines are not authentic. I changed the green trend line to a standard 20-period SMA and the orange one to a standard 100-period SMA so as not to give away my painstakingly gauged settings. Had I used the actual moving averages they would have reflected reversals in the trends much more accurately.
