Part II Trading Congestion Action and Technical Analysis Explained
Let’s continue our discussion of congestion action trading in the article series about technical analysis explained.
We cannot exit congestion until we have a new trend run . Congestion occurs if there is no trend run . When a trend run occurs this is a congestion exit as put into place by the congestion action that proceeded it..
So, let’s say this again with a little different emphasis .
There are two things that we can say congestion action does .
One: It creates strong original confines .
In the second place, strong expanded confines are created .
The original confines are created by the congestion entrance bar , which happens to be the first bar of congestion action, and the second bar of action, which is the next bar , and the third bar if there is no trend run . The confines are determined by the lowest low and the highest high of these bars , as defined by dotted line and block level . These are the congestion original confines .
Here is should be brought to your attention that in congestion the third bar price , does one of two things . Price either:
1) Starts a trend run and exits congestion, since the third bar closing on the other side of the PL dot isn’t confirmation of congestion action. The congestion confines are then determined by the original confines , . OR…
2) The close happens on the other side of the Pl dot, and congestion action is continued . The confines of congestion in this case are determined by original congestion, as is set out by the lowest low and highest high of the very first three bars.
Now, what about expanded confines?
Well, congestion action can create expanded confines by moving out of any confines of congestion like original confines , as long as a trend run hasn’t occurring during this time. When price leaves the latest confines, the confines of congestion are then redefined. After this point , then instead of dealing with the original confines in congestion exit, the redefined confines is dealt with.
( You should definite note, that price can be affected by the original confines , because any level or line is able to do so, but most of the time, the true confines can be built through repetitive congestion action , without a trend run showing up.)
The confines can be expanded as long as no trend run occurs . Only when congestion is exited and price is in a trend run can we really say that the congestions final boundaries have been defined .
If you look at Drummond Geometry, technical analysis explained defines congestion in a clear and consistent manner , and gives us a framework that we can work with in identifying the confines of congestion under any circumstance .
In future discussions in our technical analysis explained series we will talk about trade entries and exits in congestions . These clear congestion definitions will definitely become useful .
