<BR>> Al,<BR>> <BR>> Thanks! I'm glad you brought this up,
because I didn't get a signal.<BR>> That caused me to re-examine the
formula that I'm using and re-read the<BR>> rules for a set up.
What I found is that there was indeed a valid set up<BR>> on
9/3. So why'd I get left behind? Here's why: DeMark says
that the<BR>> day prior to day one of a buy set up must have a close
>= the close 4 days<BR>> earlier. I didn't have the
"=" in this formula, which caused it not to<BR>> fire, because
the close of 8/21 and 8/17 are in fact equal.
Fortunately<BR>> that condition doesn't happen very often. ( I keep
telling myself that.<BR>> :-) ) BUT, who knows, maybe it
caused me to miss the "big one" (way back<BR>> when) and Maybe
I could'a retired already by now. <g> The
successful<BR>> retest of the previous low can't be a bad thing. If
you're still in, I<BR>> hope it works out. If you ARE still
in, it must seem to you like time is<BR>> standing still, based on your
usual 2 hour +\- trades. <G><BR>> <BR>> Have a great
weekend,<BR>> <BR>> Ken<BR></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>>Believe me, the indicators that I sent are nothing

I haven't had the time to compare. This<BR>>Countdown indicator is
simply a day to day indicator that requires using<BR>>your fingers and
toes once Setup (and Intersection, if you choose to use<BR>>it) is/are
complete. Nothing sophisticated at all. I find it easier
and<BR>>quicker to let the indicators help me determine the current phase
than to<BR>>compare a bar's close with another prior bar's close or
low/high. As far<BR>>as Countdown, I've written many high-falutin
type indicators (or so I<BR>>like to think <g> ) that I thought
were going to be the answer, but in<BR>>the end they all
fizzled.<BR>><BR>>You could run a test or exploration for Setup, then
from there manually<BR>>track Intersection (if you're so inclined), then
Countdown. Sometimes<BR>>you get a pretty good reaction at the
completion of Setup, so you may not<BR>>want to include Intersection in
an exploration or you could possibly miss<BR>>it, although Intersection
occurs more often than not by day 9. Back when<BR>>it first was
published, Sequential worked well on the few markets that
I<BR>>watched, but I haven't been watching it lately, although all
this<BR>>discussion has got me curious again.<BR>><BR>>I think

Thank you for your help. I will keep you informed of any new developments.
Just a note. My trading friend feels theat the yen/us $
count may be coming to a 13 by Monday 23 Aug 1999. He was at
the 10 th count a day or two ago.
If you are trading currencies and using other methodologies, can you
give me your view.
