I'm throwing this one out there

When you doubt your strategy you won't have the confidence to trade it religiously without hesitation - "The Ducati blue bar strategy" springs to mind. I & a few others have questioned the effectiveness of this strategy, a strategy relying on only two indicators. 

I've been thinking

After reading a few threads (a) "when-do-you-determine-when-to-buy-a-stock" thread (b) "how-far-will-the-market-fall" thread & (c) "when-to-buy-a-stock" thread. These are questions we all seek answers to no matter where we are in our trading journey.

Let's take this post (how-far-will-the-market-fall thread)

[USER=72130]@aus_trader[/USER] spoke about the drop in 2018 that had a V-shaped recovery & referenced this article https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/making-sense/6-factors-that-fueled-the-stock-market-dive-in-2018 so we could better understand why. In hindsight we can all make up a story to fit the narrative.

What about this post (when-to-buy-a-stock)

[USER=78640]@SensibleInvesting[/USER] nailed his first post by asking: "when do you decide to pull the trigger?" a simple question not easy to answer.

Whoa, let's backup a little

Duc has given us "The Ducati blue bar strategy" & the "DUC Indicator" (which by-the-way is private & confidential) so I'll concentrate on making an Indicator out of "The Ducati blue bar strategy". The Indicator gets a new name & colour coding so there is no confusion. the indicator has been named:  "The Ducati Stop & Go Indicator"

"The Ducati Stop & Go Indicator"

This new indicator can be used quite simply to answer all the questions above. The Stop bars are "RED" & the Go bars are "GREEN", just like traffic lights (the yellow ribbon means to be cautious) So how do we use "The Ducati Stop & Go Indicator" & what is it correlated to? - The answers will be in the next post.

Skate.
