I like to also mention what I observed in regards to reversals. As I stated in an earlier post, reversal are just a comfirmation. When I had access to Socrates and reversals after the 2015 wec I was able to match the reversals on a chart. What I found was, the first bullish reversal coresponded with the high of the previous rally and the second of the rally before the last. If the market was going sideways it was the high within that sideways move. My conclusion is the the reversal system is a derivative of Charting/TA. This is something anyone with access to the reversals can check. After trading/investing using TA for almost 21 years I couldn't justify paying $1800 a year on something I could do myself. I personally don't remember MA actually stating when someone should buy on the reversals, on the first, second or third? Maybe someone can clearify this.
I had very similar findings with my use of daily and weekly reversals. Very frequently using a Decision Points approach you would get a level which was very close to the reversals which Socrates would pump out (even within 10pts at times). This was one of the reasons why I didn't see the sense in continuing the Pro subscription on the Dow - I could do it myself without much effort.
I also find trading from Decision Points without MA/Socrates prediction efforts more reliable. I'm able to trade based on what the price movement is rather than MA's slanted view which in my experience has been very unreliable.
