More Indicator Tips
Getting More Signals from Ceequential and Kombo

Kombo Daily & Weekly ChartTime Period  Ceequential and Kombo both mark 'price exhaustion' levels on charts of any time period. Like many indicators, coincident signals on daily and weekly charts, or weekly and monthly charts, for example, should provide a good clue about the next directional move.

Here is an example of Kombo marking the same bottom on a daily and weekly chart of HURC. This was indeed the end of HURC's death dive. An easy way to do this with GRAFster6 is make a Chart Group consisting of a daily, weekly and even a monthly chart so you can examine them side by side with little effort.
Ceequential Chart TipSuccessive Setups The chart on the left is an example of successive setups in the same direction where the Hi-Lo range of the 2nd setup is larger than the Hi-Lo range of the 1st setup. In these situations consider keeping the countdown count from the 1st setup in play.

GRAFster6 lets you choose between always restarting a countdown (a 'recycle') that is in process when a new setup is encountered, or continuing the prior countdown. If you decide to always 'recycle', this setup pattern can still be exploited by adding the countdown counts from the two successive setups until a 13 count is reached, as in the example. 
Ceequential Chart Tip 3More Ceequential  The chart on the right shows an instance where the 13th countdown bar is reached but the countdown has not been marked as completed (no red arrow). GRAFster6 uses the Ceequential recipe that requires the 13th countdown bar High be >= the 8th countdown bar Close for a sell signal. Similarly, in the case of a buy countdown, the 13th countdown bar Low is supposed to be <= the 8th countdown bar Close. This requirement and it's variants is sometimes referred to as a 'perfected' countdown.

You may choose to ignore these 'qualifiers' and consider a countdown complete when the 13th countdown bar is reached regardless of its position with respect to the 8th countdown bar. The rules are not engraved in stone!  In this case doing so paid off. 
123 Top Chart Tip1-2-3 Top This is an example of a classic 1-2-3 Top pattern. Point #1 marks the recent Minor High prior to the Highest High at Point #3. This is confirmed as 'the High' when price falls thru the recent support level marked by point #2. This completed pattern suggests that a trend reversal has taken place.

Incidentally, Ceequential and Kombo both marked a completed Top  countdown near the High - Point #3 - as well, giving an advance tip that buying is about finished.
