Pyramid Trading Points (P and MP)
111
The ART charting software identifies the consolidation by bracketing
it with bullish yellow and bearish yellow Pyramid Trading Points. When
prices break out, regardless of direction, the Pyramid Trading Point that
gets confirmed will trigger a trade.
CUSTOMIZING THE ART SOFTWARE TO
TAILOR IT TO YOUR NEEDS
The ART trading software has many features that can be adjusted to suit
your needs and to suit changing market conditions such as market volatil-
ity. You will want to refer to the
User’s Manual
that you download from
the www.TradersCoach.com web site to give you the step-by-step instruc-
tions on how to change the default settings that are set up in the software
when you first receive it. Two of the most popular features are MinScore
and Audio Technology.
ADJUSTING THE MINSCORE FOR A PYRAMID
TRADING POINT
MinScore—Default value is 5. This is used to calculate the score of the con-
ditions that make up the “peaks and valleys” used to identify the Pyramid
Trading Point patterns.
This is a numeric input with a range of values from 1 to 8. This input
controls how well formed the pyramids must be before they are selected
as a Pyramid Trading Point.
Increasing the MinScore value will cause the ART Pyramid Trading
Point system to identify only the higher-scoring peaks and valleys. Lower-
ing this value will cause the ART Pyramid Trading Point system to identify
lesser-scoring peaks and valleys.
Setting this to 1 will result in Pyramid Trading Points being identified
that are less constrictive in nature, while a setting above 5 will be more
constrictive.
Under perfect conditions, the highs and lows of these bars would as-
cend smoothly up and down, as shown in Figure 18.10.
The pyramids in Figure 18.11 would get scores of 7, 6, and 5, respec-
tively, because the shape of the pyramid gets progressively more ragged as
the highs and lows fall out of line.
The MinScore input controls the minimum score and therefore how
well formed a Pyramid Trading Point must be before it is selected by the
software.
