RUNS - Consecutive Higher or Lower BarsRUNS.
I define these as consecutive days where the high is higher than the previous high and low is greater or equal to the day before. The reverse for down drafts. The meat of most moves will, more often than not, comprise of these runs.
I would love if someone could build a study that not only tests this idea, but also uses this as a direction bias on a higher period but trade on a shorter period. Ex. If previous Day bar was part of an UP RUN, take only long signals on the same indicator for a 5 minute period.
The stops would naturally be the previous day(period) high plus one tick for shorts and the previous day(period) low minus one tick for longs.
I have tested this on other systems for only one period but never layered multiple periods. This has been a good "indicator" for me for many of my 30 years+ in the markets. Many stocks tend to follow this sort of momentum very well. Whipsaws occur often enough but are usually quite small. I have not a significant grasp of Pine yet to pull this off. My attempts were not good.
