The setups I include on this blog are used in conjunction with the 3/10macd and the criteria I ascribe to it as a way to alert me to an existing condition of price. The key concept to take away from this blog is that I try to anticipate what will happen on the higher time frame by using a faster time frame to trigger the trade setup. I do not trade a "system" I use two indicators to clue me in to price conditions. Please read the Disclaimer located in the sidebar of this site. I can be contacted via email at toddstrade@gmail.com
I am always open to questions, comments, or suggestions on how to improve this blog.

Re-draw
Time to re-draw the CTL in this ever-raging Inverted Cycle
Price is throwing back to the CTL, but it is no longer a CTL since price has made a new high
A closer look

Seeing if I remember how this works...
$GC monthly; first test to hold above the 50-period average on the monthly time frame.

CTL break
Been a while since looking at the SPY Stevenson cycles. Interesting development in that the Cyclic Trend Line Has been broken (and back-tested). In Stevenson work this signals an end to the prevailing cycle (in this case a long-standing Inverted Cycle) and the beginning of its complimentary (Regular) Cycle.

IYT
Probably a good time to start looking at the Transportation Index for a bounce.
The higher time frame trend is very bullish (first test of the monthly 20-MA since 2012) and the weekly time frame is coming in to support

DJIA Quarterly
LONG-term chart. Dow Jones Industrial Average Quarterly time frame showing a 3/10macd fast line potentially crossing the slow line (bar ends at the end of the month). Not something that happens very often in such a slow time frame. The overall trend would remain bullish for quite some time but it is interesting that the 20-period MA lines up nicely with support.
not much has changed
In terms of the current (weekly) inverted cycle. 398-weeks off the lows into the most recent all-time high.

hooking
look, I realize that I'm flip-flopping on my intrpretation of the higher time frame Gold futures. You can get chopped to pieces in narrow range consolidation, but eventually price will break out in one or another direction, and that's where you need to act. So, until price breaks out we have to look for clues.
Price may be hooking up, which would turn the higher time frame (monthly) 3d critieria back to bullish. Price has coiled for nearly one year, expect a big move and follow the direction of that move.

GC 3d
Gold has been choppy (coiling) but the higher time frame 3d criteria could still be in play coming out of May.

rollover watch
$GC higher time frame on roll over watch.
After the potential for a 3d long criteria waned (losing steam at the weekly 50MA and monthly 20MA) we have the potential for a breakdown
Similar to the way $HG behaved to start 2014. Monthly time frame set up the potential for a 3d criteria long position but continued to see rejection from the 20MA, rolling-over through support
