Hello Al,
I follow your reasoning,but Vignesh's question is what distinguishes a
correction from a reversal and if we know the answer than the next question
is: Is it tradedable ?
For example an index makes a low at 1000 than runs up to 2000 thereafter it
comes down again. One could say: from 2000 down to 1000 is a correction. If
it turns under 1000, we have a reversal on our hands. But how would we
trade on this info ?
Go short if it opens below the open of the day after hitting 2000 and play
the correction or wait'till it falls under 1000 and play the reversal while
missing all the fun with the 1000 points ? or......(all the other
possibilities).
And yes I go along with your "relative to one's time frame"-phrase.
So the question is not dumb but might be useless.
Best wishes,
Frans
