For example, if an established trendline can be drawn under critical lows, your trade timing should be keyed off that line rather than waiting for your indicator slope to turn up or down. Effective trading of post-gravity impulses relies on the interaction between current price and your momentum indicator. Follow the MACD slope to flag overbought conditions favorable for the development of ranges or reversals. Enter long positions when price falls but the slope begins to rise. Or be conservative and wait for the zero line to be crossed from below to above.
Patterns point to low risk momentum entry.
Retracements to a trendline or moving average identify profit opportunities. It works because each price dip brings in new buyers who missed the last opportunity. Short sale swings should be avoided completely when momentum is high unless you're a highly experienced trader. Trying to pick tops is a loser's game. Most traders can delay short sales until momentum drops sharply but price is high within its range.
