How to use
I have denoted the level where excessive momentum starts as the point C. The level of excessive momentum is denoted as point C’. C-C' is where the ZigZag and the price start to get spread apart. The detection of excessive momentum will provide you the key clue for your trading direction. With excessive momentum indicator, you can detect four phases in time order:
- Phase 1: Potential Turning Point arrival with C-C’ identification. (This is detected when the ZigZag and actual price start to spread apart.)
- Phase 2: Turning Point confirm with C-C’ Confirmation
- Phase 3: D Level detection
- Phase 4: D level confirmation
Phase 1 will provide you the potential turning point opportunity. Phase 2 and phase 3 will arrive almost simultaneously. Then Phase 4 will comes. After the phase 4, the price can make the potential breakout at either C level or D level. In simple words, you can aim to predict the turning point at phase 1. Then you will be watching out the D level and C level for the ultimate breakout for your trading after phase 4. Whether you take the position at phase 1 is optional and it will depend on your skills for predicting turning points.
Simple Breakout Trading
At the simplest trading setup, you can just use the two price levels at point C and point D in your breakout trading. This is easy and simple.
With Harmonic Pattern
When you use Excessive Momentum with Harmonic Pattern, you will expect D point of Harmonic Pattern to appear at the extreme range of Excessive momentum. Especially when D point of Harmonic pattern appears below C of Excessive momentum, bullish turning point can be identified with more certainty. Likewise, when D point of Harmonic pattern appears above C of Excessive momentum, bearish turning point can be identified with more certainty.
With Volume Spread Analysis
Excessive Momentum indicator is probably the best tool for volume spread analysis. For practical trading, we focus on identifying accumulation (=demand zone) and distribution area (=supply zone). C point of Excessive Momentum become the selling climax (SC) or the buying climax (BC). Then you will use demand and supply patterns to confirm the accumulation area and distribution area for your trading.
Please use one of these two Indicators for accumulation and distribution area identification.
