Trend Reversal Points Indicator (TRPS)
 
TRPS is based on multiple criteria with a trigger mechanism for orders. The 4 point coefficient marks the beginning or end of a trend and signals a market move.
  • Movement in price over daily period 
  • Movement in sentiment
  • Technical indicators confirmation
  • Fundamental analysis confirmation

All TRPS indicators carry equal weight.

To avoid any false positive or negative signals TRPS is backed up by the Diamond method. This method provides a rapid diagnostic test for the market based on 4 criteria.
  • Price movement
  • Directional Movement
  • Moving Averages
