A - Once the TIGGA histogram turns red at the upper extreme and the EMAs (20+40) signal a down trend, start looking for a small consolidation with at least 3-4 bars. Enter a limit short order within the upper part of the flag and set a stop of max. 10 YM / 1.25 ES / 2.5 NQ. Remember that it is better to miss a trade than to get a bad entry. Never chase a market. If you are trading with the trend (watch the EMAs for this) you should scale out half of your position somewhere between +10-15(YM) depending on the volatility of the day. Then move your stop to your entry point and let the remainder run until the short cycle breaks or the TIGGA histogram sets up a long signal.
 
B - The TIGGA histogram turned green at the lower extreme with the EMAs still signalling a down trend. Trading against the main trend gives us a lower probability, so we need to look for a textbook setup as shown in the chart. Do not trade counter trend when the volume is low or the market gets choppy. Wait for a small 3-4 bar flag before you enter with a tight stop. Exit at least 50% of your position at +10, move stop to your entry and limit for spikes to the upside on the remaining position.
 
Double Snakes: If the TIGGA histogram and the blue line hit the same extreme at the same time (Double Snake) the probability that the market will consolidate or reverse at this level is very high. If this signal is also supported by a signal on a longer time frame I start looking for swing trades. Watch for higher lows (lower highs) or bullish divergences (bearish divergences) which often confirm a trend reversal. Double Snakes give you a very high probability for counter trend entries. They are very powerful in combination with a multiple time frame setup.
 
Setting: I watch the 1, 5 and 60min time frames for intraday trades. When I take a trade based on the 1min chart I want at least one longer time frame to support the direction of my signal. If the daily time frame is setting up a signal I use the shorter time frames to time my entries for a swing. TIGGA works on any time frame and tick chart. I recommend not to watch more than three timeframes at once.
 
Do not trade if:
- volume is low or suddenly drops off
- the market gets choppy when the EMAs (20+40) cross
- the risk-reward ratio is below 1:1.5
- you can't set a good stop (lots of spikes / choppy market / noon swoon)
