It has taken me 4 active trading years to complete my trading method which was born in my mind in the form of an idea created through my imagination.
- I have mixed faith with my idea.
- I have formulated a plan for the transformation of my idea into a physical and financial reality.
- I am putting the plan into action with the aid of the Definite Trading Method.
I have also tried to keep the system simple so other people can follow them.
The trading method allows for 3 entry and exit points within bullish or bearish stocks.
Bullish Stocks
Bullish Reaction Breakout
This indicates the stock has made a breakout from bullish reaction and may advance into a rally.
Markets must be in a bullish trend.
This is the strongest buy signal for a bullish stock.
- Enter @ the market if the stock shows a positive move on next treading day.
- Stop Loss @ bottom trend line
- Exit when the stock hits or is close to the upper bullish trend line.
Bullish Breakout from Bullish Trend
This indicates the stock has broken out above the upper bullish trend line.
Markets must be bullish.
- Enter @ the market if the stock shows a positive move on next trading day.
- Stop Loss @ old upper trend line, new bottom trend line.
- Because there is no upper trend line on this stock yet, use a trailing stop to lock in profits if the stock moves against you
Bullish Breakout from Bearish Trend
This is an indication that the stock has broken out of and then opened and closed above the upper bearish trend line from a bearish stock.
Breakout must not come from a bearish stock that is in a bearish rally, if it does, stand aside.
Markets must be bullish.
- Enter @ the market if the stock is going to open positive.
- Stop loss @ just below the purchase price.
- Because there is no upper trend line on this stock yet, use a trailing stop to lock in profits if the stock moves against you.
Bearish Stocks
Bearish Reaction Breakout
This is an indication the stock has made a breakout from a bearish rally which might move into a decline.
This is the strongest short signal in a bearish stock
- Enter @ the market if the stock shows a negative move on next trading day.
- Stop Loss @ upper trend line
- Exit when the stock hits or is close to the lower bearish trend line.
Bearish Breakout from Bearish Trend
This indicates the stock has broken out below the lower bearish trend line.
Markets must be bearish.
- Enter @ the market if the stock shows a negative move on next trading day.
- Stop Loss @ old lower trend line, new upper trend line.
- Because there is no lower trend line on this stock yet, use a trailing stop to lock in profits if the stock moves against you.
Bearish Breakout from Bullish Trend
This is an indication that the stock has broken out of and then opened and closed below the lower bullish trend line in a bullish stock.
Breakout must not come from a bullish stock that is in a bullish reaction, if it does stand aside.
Markets must be bearish.
- Enter @ the market if the stock is going to open negative.
- Stop loss @ just above the purchase price.
- Because there is no lower trend line on this stock yet, use a trailing stop to lock in profits if the stock moves against you.

Sorry to Jeffrey Young who posted a few comments regarding my definite trading methods.
I was updating the page but accidently deleted it.
I had to re-write the whole page but lost the comments with my own replies.
Sorry again to you Jeff.
Below is Jeffs comments which I had in my email account.
Comment 1 :
Yes you need to believe in your system but all signals will not always work out so you need to be discretionary about exit strategies. I am sure you have had instances where your “system” failed after giving you a signal. Obviously on your chart resistance was retested and luckily for you the overall trend which was bearish prevailed. Had the trend been in a reversal mode your “BALLS” may have been squashed. Still I would like to know more about your concept as it looks interesting. At what point do you draw your trend lines? Thank you for any reply.
Comment 2 :
I am in agreement with you about emotions and that knowing yourself is one of the important keys to success. Price charts do show the emotions of greed, fear, and hope but that is still a subjective interpretation.
You said:
Let me rephrase that. People generally do think its easy but it is hard because that part within their own minds is something they fail to acknowleddge & realize. Additionally, their are psychological and cogntive barriers in regards to personality, winning, and money that most people in the market will never gain control over. In reality you would not want them to. In order to make money there has to be someone to take it from.
If it were simply that easy everyone would be doing it. To arrive at the point to be able to say, “It’s that easy” requires a great deal of self understanding thta most market players will never achieve.
I am hoping by “sitting” you and Jesse are referring to waiting patiently between trades for the proper setup to occur. BTW your hero was dead broke several times and made fortunes several times. Once being given a stake by W.D. GANN. Jesse paid him back as well but manage to go broke again. Understanding why sitting is so important requires a good understanding of yourself and market mechanics. People are so used to needing to be active to feel like they are accomplishing something they fail to see how patience figures into this equation.
Maybe its the semantics of words. If you mean NERVE to pull the trigger then I agree.
Isn’t that the problem with any trading system is it always needs to be interpreted and interpretation is in the eye of the beholder.
In closing, I am not in disagreement with you as I subscribe to the same ideas you are describing. I can see the basis of the trendlines but was just curious at what point in time you decide a rally is a rally in a bear market and when a bullish reaction occur. Do you need 3 days or more of directional movement. What are the lengths of time or percentage of advance or decline that need to transpire before youi draw your internal channel lines between larger trend lines or is it activated when it hits the trend line and retreats or whatever. I have been studying T Theory which deals more with cycles in conjunction with volume oscillators. It is complicated but has an excellent degree of being accurate in identifying market truning points. Nice conversing with you.
