DAX and FTSE (S&P/DOW is more important than FTSE) are the indices we trade. When they both show strength in same direction (both strong and rising or both weak and falling) it is not necessary to use all filters. This also applies in ranging markets. · If they are either strong or weak, with high probability price action or strong trends, compulsory filters 3.12, 3.13 and 3.10 can be eliminatedfrom analysis. · If they are both strong at same time or weak at the same time, with high probability price action or strong trends, compulsory filters are invalid and overridden. · Long positions: In major extreme down trends on daily charts all compulsory filters are valid. · Short positions: In major extreme up trends on daily charts all compulsory filters are valid.
