brian.
my reply to the ?? below is 
"....the green buy count does not start until a sell. so if another 
buy setup happens does it only start 
count after the actual sell."
--This is Not True: a Buy Set up Starts over or resets- (Figure 1 
shows a reset of Green Buy Numbers- with the Red Numbers Beginning on 
the first Green 9 and going past the second set of Green 1-9 numbers)

i can see from the diagram that the green count continues once the 
red count has been triggered, but these would not be useful, it would 
only be of use after a sell,
so what happens if the green buy count is at 4 when a sell hapens 
and this count actually gets to 9 , is it included in the 9th consec 
count or does the count have to start fresh from 1 to 9 after the 
sell day . 

cheers: john.
