    No, I don't. But it has similarities with the way I'm using Jack's channel method (without Fibonacci). I think that this method (channels, volume, supply / demand analysis) has too many nuances to be effectively automated. But definitely it can be very powerful when understood and applied properly.

    Hey Guys,

    A few questions:


    Point one is determined as the lowest or highest point in the last trend that 'failed to traverse'.

    Which is point one when the last traverse never fails (makes a full right to left traverse) then comes back left to right and breaks right through the main trendline?

    And can points 1 2 3 all exist inside the most recent trend or must points 2 and 3 be outside the old trend?

    Thank you :)

    Point 1 doesn´t have to be a failure to traverse and point 1-2-3 can all exist inside the previous channel. But sometimes it takes a while for the market to reverse so the first point 1-2-3 doesn´t necessary have to be of importance, volume and bar lenght is good to watch to get clues, but if I understod it right you can´t see volume on forex?
    What is Forex by the way? I´m sure we don´t have it in Sweden. It´s a mystery to me, I don´t have a clue what it is...

    So point 1 can be the lowest or highest point in the previous channel even if price doesn't fail to traverse?

    Thanks for the answers.

    Yes, forex refers to the global currency market thats traded 24 hours a day, 5 1/2 days a week. No volume available here. Just price.

    Makes it a little more challenging, but fun nevertheless.

    Hey, what charting software does everyone use here? I need one thats obviously best suited towards trading Grobs method - especially one that allows higher time frame trendline projection onto lower time frames (accurate) and trendline 'cutting'?

    I use sierra charts, I´ve come to like it and they make a lot of improvements all the time. I think easyrider uses quote tracker, seems nice too. Both these programs are very cheap.

    You can zoom in and out easily between time frames on sierra, but sometimes a trend line from a higher time frame are missing on the 5-min chart. If I understod it right this is a programming limitation of some sort and can´t be fixed easily.

    lol, nobodys around in the mornings. But I should work instead of reading threads.
    Sierra is 120 usd a year. Qoute tracker is free with commercials. I´ve only looked at a little, but you will find out in a minute that it´s impossible to trade with commercials blinking on your screen.

    Cool. Thats a reasonable price.

    Hey. More questions for you.

    From what I understand, the second point three after the trend decelerates to sustainable levels - 'cruising altitude' is the analogy jack refers to - is drawn from point 1, correct?


    But what about speed lines? After point three is drawn and the trend accelerates significantly, which point are speed lines drawn from? Point 1, original 3 or new 3?


    Thanks in advance :)
