The Chronos Sequential Compass (CSC) is an advanced technical analysis tool used to identify potential price exhaustion points, trend reversals, and provide a framework for understanding market structure.
Key Components:
Setup Phase:
Bullish Setup: 9 consecutive closes lower than the close 4 bars earlier.
Bearish Setup: 9 consecutive closes higher than the close 4 bars earlier.
Visualized by green (bullish) or red (bearish) triangles on the chart.
Countdown Phase:
Starts after a Setup is completed.
Counts from 1 to 13(D), comparing the close to the low (for bullish) or high (for bearish) two bars earlier.
Displayed as numbers below (bullish) or above (bearish) the price bars.
Setups:
A Setup is complete when the low of bars 6 and 7 in a bullish Setup are exceeded by the low of bar 9.
For bearish Setups, the high of bars 6 and 7 must be exceeded by the high of bar 9.
Risk Levels:
Established when a Countdown reaches 13(D).
Acts as a reference point for potential trend reversals.
Countdown Delayed:
Indicated by a '+' symbol.
Occurs when a Countdown reaches 13(D) but doesn't meet specific criteria for completion.
Recycling:
Resets the Countdown if a strong opposite trend emerges during the Countdown phase.
How to Use the CSC:
Trend Identification:
Consecutive Setups in one direction indicate a strong trend.
Look for potential trend exhaustion when Setups start appearing in the opposite direction.
Potential Reversal Points:
Pay attention when a Countdown reaches 13, especially if it coincides with other technical factors (support/resistance, chart patterns, etc.).
A completed Countdown doesn't guarantee a reversal but suggests increased probability.
Risk Management:
Use Risk Levels as potential stop-loss points or profit-taking levels.
Be cautious of trades against the trend when price is far from the Risk Level.
Confluence with Price Action:
Look for candlestick patterns or chart formations at key Sequential levels for higher probability setups.
Timeframe Coordination:
Consider using CSC on multiple timeframes for a more comprehensive market view.
Higher timeframe signals often carry more weight.
Delayed Countdowns:
A delayed Countdown (indicated by '+') suggests the trend might continue.
It can provide opportunities for trend continuation trades.
Setup:
Setups often provide stronger signals and may lead to more significant moves.
Reversals should occur within 4 bars of setup signals
Completed Countdowns:
Reversals should occur within 12 bars of completed countdowns
