TD Waldo Pattern # 2

Recommended Posts

I'm having trouble intrepeting what this pattern means. It's Demark's Waldo Pattern Number Two.

 

This is what I got out of the book (Demark Indicators):

 

Pattern Two:

 

The market records a fresh high or low for a move, but closes higher than the four previous closes (for a potential base)

 

OR

 

The market closes lower than the four previous closes (for a potential top)

 

OR

 

The close of the trend high is greater than the previous price bar, or the close of the trend low is less than or equal to the previous price bar

 

AND

 

A down close occurs after a high or an up close occurs after a low, and the close following the high is greater than the close prior to the high, or the close following the low is less than the close prior to the low.

 

 

 

This is what I think it means a in more simple form:

 

FOR A TOP:

 

The market records a fresh high or low for a move ?

 

AND

 

closes lower than the four previous closes (for a potential top)

 

OR

 

The close of the trend high is greater than the previous price bar

 

AND

 

A down close occurs after a high

 

THEN

 

The close following the low is less than the previous low.

 

 

FOR A BOTTOM:

 

The market records a fresh high or low for a move

 

AND

 

closes higher than the four previous closes (for a potential base)

 

OR

 

The close of the trend low is less than or equal to the previous price bar)

 

AND

 

A up close occurs after a low

 

THEN

 

The close following the high is greater than the previous high

 

 

 

 

But when I try to write a code it still seems wrong.

 

Any Help?

Thanks for a reply, but since no http addy is included, I'm wondering just what site you are suggesting.

 

 

Are you kidding me? It's Where's Waldo, would you really go to a site that had a cartoon as its spokesperson for trading advice??:haha:

These Waldo patterns are not as amusing as they seemed and they are hard to spot at times. Waldo #2 is generally back plotted by one bar (ie, plot1[1] ) whilst Waldo #3 is plotted in real time or end of bar.

 

The EOD reversal today (11-19-2009) or beginning of a reversal in ES showed the efficacy of this pattern (Waldo #2, yellow dot at 13:00 exchange time).

Well, would you? As it turns out Waldo IS the spokesperson for DeMark.

 

Demark says, " Waldo Patterns were inspired by the children's cartoon character whose caricature is camouflaged within a background of numerous other cartoon figures. The game is to locate him. Once he has been identified, the task the next time becomes simple. However, the challenge is to accomplish this feat initially. Likewise with market observations and price patterns -- the identification process is easy once successfully performed. This is why they are called Waldo Patterns."

 

It's a shame the post is so old... but had to point that out, lol.. :cool:

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
