RMDG was, in fact listed as a "buy-if". For those of you who don't know what the "if" means, the following explanation will tell you what to watch for today:
A BUY-IF signal is confirmed and turns into a BUY CONFIRMED signal by one of the three following conditions:
The market opens with an upward gap (an opening price above the previous close) signaling a bullish sentiment. The benchmark is the opening price. A confirmation is valid if the day’s prices stay above this benchmark. The pattern of this confirmation can be defined as a white candlestick with an upward gap.
The market opens at a level either equal to or below the previous close. The benchmark is the closing price of the previous day. A confirmation is valid if the day’s prices stay above this benchmark. The pattern of this confirmation can be defined as a white candlestick closing above the previous close.
The market opens with a big downward gap (an opening price way below the previous close) suggesting a very bearish day in this rarely observed case. However, the prices turn up and the day ends with a long white candlestick that still closes below the previous day’s close. The benchmark is the closing price of the long white candlestick. The pattern of this confirmation can be defined as a long white candlestick closing below the previous close.
If one of these conditions is not satisfied, the BUY-IF alert remains valid without confirmation and three confirmation criteria are sought in the following day. The only exception is a long black candlestick, which makes the signal void and invalid automatically without further search. If there is still no confirmation in the following day, the alerts are void and invalid regardless of the following day’s pattern and the search is terminated.
