Trend Change and Predictive Techniques
Try then buy GRAFster6

Sequential is a scarce implementation (for retail investors, at least) of a market timing method created by Tom DeMark. The red arrows on the Gold futures chart above show likely price reversal levels predicted by this technique. The Sept top turned out to be a timely call. Acting on Sequential signals enables the trader to sell in the face of market strength and buy weakness before the inevitable reversal occurs - something those trading millions of shares at a pop need to do.

This method can be refined by combining it with other indicators for confirmations. More info is given on the Tips Page or look at the GRAFster6 Help file for a detailed explanation of the recipe used here.

Combo on the $DJIA chart above mimics the Combo indicator also by Tom DeMark. A variant of Sequential, it also takes a stab at predicting market turning points. The red arrow at the May top marks a completed '13' countdown to a Top. Consider using this indicator alone or along with Sequential as a filter or a confirmation tool on weekly and monthly charts. Use GRAFster v6½ to confirm these signals and find others like them.

Sequential and Combo have been giving some pretty good signals for the past 2-years, particularly with weekly and monthly charts. Keep in mind that these tools are offered on the premium quote/charting platforms used by many trading firms - you know, where the 'Masters of the Universe' work. They pay plenty for them too.

Note: The data used for many of these example charts came from MSN Money via GimmeFreeData. These indicators rely on Open, High, Low, and Close values, so missing or incorrect price data influence the counts.

Well, read a recent DeMark text (or look at the GRAFster6 Help file), draw some charts and go thru the procedure step by step. Knowing how to count is the only math skill needed for this. Make your own conclusion. Many of us believe It pays to work with this stuff - it is considered the best that's been revealed to the public so far. Try GRAFster v6½ and see for yourself.
