Has anybody done any work based on Marc Rivalland’s swing trade method?
It’s based on Gann I think. The approach is to buy a retracement in a trend. A retracement is defined as three lower lows and lower highs (for uptrend), and a new trend is created when the price fails to make a lower low, then rallies above previous swing high (something along the lines of a 123 formation).
See example attached, new trend starts at X (not a great example of of a 123) where we would look out for a retracement to go long.
I have been thinking about this, and each successive swing high/swing low seems to be reliant of the previous swing to define making it tricky. However, maths is not my strong point, is it possible to define this mathematically?
Just noticed there is a retracement which meets the criteria following the change in trend, and it fails. Bad omen?

The telling point about this is that MR has gone back to heing a splicitor abd no longer trades it, if he trades at all.
