    The simple 123 method. Only I trade these setups for trend continuation instead of trend reversal as suggested by the original idea.

    The whole idea of X-1-2-3 (X-1 prevailing trend) is to take the reversal trade when 2 is broken.
    How do you trade the continuation of the X-1?

    Nothing complicated....In my 2 cents, the best way to determine an uptrend is to trade with stocks making new 52-week highs.

    Trend: X1-X2-1-2 (X1-2 prevailing trend) forms a classic uptrend pattern by having a higher high and higher low and also looking for point #2 making a new 52-week high.

    Setup: 123 Formation

    Trigger: Breakout from point #2

    G'day Persama. Nice to see you out here. Haven't followed your posts on ASF but will read it when I get a chance. I didn't have time to look at everything but out of your first three, only ITRI looks to be a goer. Actually, it looks very good. ASFI and CAND both look set to fall.

    Just my two bobs worth.

    I use a derivation of 123 system. Only I trade these setups for trend continuation instead of trend reversal as suggested by the original idea.
