Yellow Dog Discussions

17:29 scooter: yellow dog is just setup so entry is the 4 option part for me - it is amg's extreme rsi
17:30 Kongfuzi: right you mean the band pokes. I've not incorporated that part yet, but working on it

17:31 scooter: band poke AND yellow box is the yellow dog, they need to be happening at the same time

17:32 scooter: entry for me is either voodoo price level, fp-rising/falling bline on 2400v, break of 2 bars hh or ll, or if rotational market then take the band poke entry

17:31 Kongfuzi: right, but earlier today you took one whit yellow and then poke after yellow disappeared, right?

17:32 scooter: that is 'yellow dog divergence' not straight yellow dog

17:32 Kongfuzi: so band poke is alternative to other?

17:33 scooter: yellow dog divergence is yellow box and band poke followed by higher high without yellow box but a band poke
17:34 scooter: so a divergence at a higher high, it is a yellow dog divergence for me because price has poked the orange band,
17:34 scooter: with the divergence, otherwise just a regular divergence trade
17:34 scooter: without the band poke
17:34 scooter: got it?

17:35 Kongfuzi: getting there

17:35 scooter: you get the divergence on the rsi no box means lower rsi and price is higher
17:35 scooter: so divergence from the previous yellow dog -- so hence the name yellow dog divergence
17:36 Kongfuzi: got it - vs straight yellow dog

17:36 scooter: those dog divergence trades I am more agressive on the entry
17:36 Kongfuzi: both happening same time
17:37 scooter: not same time , one after the other
17:38 Kongfuzi: yellow and then poke ok
17:38 scooter: yep

17:39 scooter: the other thing to remember is on a day like today , when the market profile said trend day, yellow dog trades against the trend are strictly tmar
17:39 scooter: or you be a dead yellow dog lol

17:40 Kongfuzi: yes runned over pooch
17:40 scooter: yup - so that is how I trade it
17:40 Kongfuzi: thx
17:41 scooter: yw

Examples:

11:45 scooter: both yellow dog first one then a yellow dog divergence trade after that



TMAR in a strong trend:



Examples of entry methods I use, (rotational market example not shown)

Price Action Entry: lowest low of last 2 bars for short or Highest High for long of last 2 bars broken.









Voodoo Level entry.




2400V lowest time frame entry using first pullback-rising/falling b-line.





Example of Dynamic Target Level.



This is not the holy grail. I use it as a heads up for a possible change of trend, not a stand alone trading system. The day type is significant as to how much of a stop I would give to any trade. Trend days have very small stops because the risk of going against the trend is great and many times not worth it. Using the Market Profile can give hints to a trend day or a rotational trading day. Yellow Dog works better for me in rotational markets since rotational days have back and forth trading action.
