HISTORY AND CREDITS––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The credit for this goes to Gilmo - Gil Morales. Who I have learned the methodology from. If you are looking to understand more, just read his books where he covers many aspects of his IBD inspired trading. Hes a disciple of Bill Oneil.
WHAT IT DOES–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The indicator has 2 major signals. Showing the PocketPivots and Showing Buyable Gap Ups. Both are bullish signals for a long play. ⬜️. Pocket Pivots are indicated by white arrow up, and show a combination of setups, but the main criteria is a day where the up volume is higher than any down volume for the last 10 days. 🟩 Green Buyable Gap Up - shows the places where certain technical criteria are met for a Gap and Go scenario. The criteria requires a big enough gap compared to yesterdays close, strong close and enough volume to make the signal trigger. There is high probability that once these 3 requirements are met, the ticker can experience a gap and go type of situation. 🟦 Blue Buyable Gap Up (early) - show the same as green but remove the criteria for volume. This allows us to jump onboard on the same day of the gap, since generally the volume condition can be evaluated only near the end of the day. In essence the Blue signal is preceeding the Green.
HOW TO USE IT––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Both are bullish signal for a long setup. I have found that the Pocket Pivot is a very reliable signal, even in a downmarket like the 2022. I look for a proper base and then the pocket pivot has been a reliable trigger for change in the supply and dynamic balance.
The Buyable Gap Up, I also look to grab after a base formation. I especially look to play buyable gap ups in the beginning of a trend reversal. This means that Gap up after a long uptrend (3+ bases) is more likely to fail than those early in the trend.
My suggestion is to add this tool to your toolbox of evaluation as a time entry signal.
