Trend Change and Predictive Techniques
  Try GRAFster5 for free and and see for yourself
TNX Chart
The 'Kombo' indicator on this chart mimics 'Combo', and 'Ceequential' is an implementation of 'Sequential', techniques created by T. DeMark. Completed Buy/Sell countdown patterns are marked with colored arrows. They are used to mark price 'exhaustion' zones and likely reversal points. These two 'predictive' methods are worth pursuing when used together or with other confirming indicators, of course. GRAFster5 lets you show both on the same chart for more signals. And it is effective in any timeframe. More info is given on the Tips Page or get the GRAFster5 Help file for a detailed explanation.
Sequential + Combo Chart
The yellow lines lines are smoothed volatility bands. They expand and contract with changes in the standard deviation of bar to bar price changes (i.e. volatility). These bands can be interpreted to mark possible trend change levels. That is, DOWN trending prices tend to reverse when price (a close) breaksout above the upper band. Likewise, UP trending prices often reverse when price (a close) breaksdown below the lower band.

Volatility bands may also be construed to mark prices that have moved too far (i.e. outliers) and have a good chance of reverting back to average values. Recall the Regression to the Mean principle from statistics?

The colored horizontal lines mark possible price support and resistance levels. UP trending prices show green support lines and DOWN trending prices show red resistance lines. Breakdowns below support and breakouts above resistance suggest a trend change is taking place.

Consider using these lines alone or together as confirmations of other signals, like the 'Kombo' Bottom/Buy and the 'Ceequential' Top/Sell on the CELL chart above.
