Quick Start Reference This reference sheet is only to be used after viewing the

videos and documentation for our Trade Room found at

http://theintentionaltrader.com/welcome-traderoom.

This reference guide will not give you the detailed

understanding of our Trade Room, but will serve as a

reminder of some of the things covered in the

documentation and videos.

The Indicators High/Low of the day: Used for minor support and

resistance levels

BarTimer: This number will countdown from 60 to 0.

This helps us to anticipate the close of the current bar

and the open of the next one. This is when many of our

trade decisions are made.

ColoredMA: A 13 EMA (Exponential Moving Average)

line that changes color relative to the slope of the line.

We use this line for minor support and resistance levels.

IE Indicator: The Intentional Entries indicator will

present a price and an arrow suggesting a good point

for a trade entry if our other trade entry criterion has

been met. Red number and arrow would suggest a sell.

Green number and arrow would suggest a buy.

Flash: Signals Divergence using RSI oscillator. Below the

bar indicator indicates that we anticipate price to go up.

Above, price to go down. This indicator is currently used

only for confluence and is not, by itself, a trigger to

enter a trade.

Page 2: Quick Start Reference Guide

FTreset: Major Support and Resistance lines. The

numbers at the end of the lines give us an indication of

relative strength of, or likely market reaction to, the

line.

OBOS: Magenta outline on candlestick indicates an

oversold condition using the RSI oscillator. Cyan outline

indicates an overbought condition.

PocketDot: A floating area of minor support and

resistance. The color of the dot is indication of relative

strength of the expected reaction to the dot. Green is

highest probability of reaction. Yellow is a bit less and

red is even less. Eventually when the dot no longer

offers support or resistance, it will disappear.

PullBack Alert: Indication from VSA (volume spread

analysis) that a pullback is likely. This indicator is used

for confluence only. We do not have a trade entry that

is triggered with just a PullBack alert indicator. The

numbers on the dots distinguish the type of price action

happening inside the current bar.

Page 3: Quick Start Reference Guide

Ricochet: Used for confluence for trade setups. When

combined with a PullBack Alert, would qualify as a trade

entry trigger if all other trade entry criterion were met.

Rolling Pivots: Minor support and resistance. Updates

every 30 minutes.

SpeedTick: A trade entry trigger when other trade

criterion has been met. Small white SpeedTick meets

the threshold requirements for HFT pullback trades. Big

Blue and Medium Blue SpeedTicks are a caution for

conservative traders indicating that there may be more

at work than an HFT market manipulation.

MacDiver: Signals Divergence using MACD oscillator.

Below the bar indicator indicates that we anticipate

price to go up. Above, price to go down. This indicator is

currently used only

for confluence and is

not, by itself, a

trigger to enter a

trade.

Page 4: Quick Start Reference Guide

Velocity: Indicate a sudden price movement relative to

previous bars. There are 3 threshold levels which

generate different user defined visual properties. In the

trade room, the threshold levels are set to white,

yellow, and green with white being level 1, yellow level

2, and green level 3.

Trade Setups

The following is very basic information to help you to

identify a trade that may have been taken or discussed

in the trading room. This information is not to be used

to qualify and enter trades unless you have first read

the

FT (First Touch): The first time

price touches a major line of

support or resistance after

the relative strength number

exceeds 120. Price musst

approach from a steep angle

to qualify.

SpeedTick: Potential HFT market manipulation,

followed by a correction (pullback) from the movement.

Page 5: Quick Start Reference Guide

RicoDot: Very similar to SpeedTick but has Ricochet and

PullBack Alert indicators on the same bar. Trades with

SpeedTick conservative rules.

SpeedFlash: A Flash at the open of the bar following a

SpeedTick bar.

IE: Trend continuation setup. Must be accompanied

with sufficient “safety nets”.
