I know this is an absurd question...like I am asking for the holy grail of TA. But, for discussions sake, I am more just asking for a few suggestions of methods/indicators that you personally believe have merit at predicting rapid movement in the underlying.
Recent True Range. Volatility often signals more volatility in the short term. It's the single thing that my entry signals all have in common.
It is absurb question. I have developed 3 option patterns that over 2000 trades are over 99% profitable, do you think I am going to hand this out? Same with 2 systems trading futures. And yes, there are chart patterns that have over 92% profitable of having "thrust" of price, they are in safety deposit box for near and dear. Those who know, don't tell. You got to study charting.
%% That'$ partly but not completely, like asking about brain surgery,OK. I pay more attention to profit + % than speed, some times they are not related @ all. TQQQ tends to move fast most of the time, may not move good % all the time. SPLV tend to move not fast much % @ all has not hit 17% ytd as of FRI 2;05 CST. ZH you may have noticed speed increase around new 52 week highs + lows, but that fairly common pattern...................................................................................
Go to yahoo finance and search out companies about to report. Best predictor of rapid movement in the underlying.
