The most productive ribbons are those having one or more Slope Tag zero elevation data points (or one having crossed over) in cci and tsi. The user will often find a nearly identical slope and intersection in each of the following:
The five minute Big Bang and QR7 template minimally generates 4 points from signal to point touched.
The 2430 tick Big Bang and QR7 templates minimally generates 5 points from signal to point touched.
See other addendums for technical compression episode management.
Why not run only the 2430 tick template? Because from time to time only one generates a signal for the trend.
A typical regular hours trading day generates 12 or more points.
(The significance of the zero elevation data point in Slope Tag identification is the circumvention of narrow trade ranges.)
