This chart method and commentary is compliments of Buffy and Jimmer, who both hang out in the NQ/ES Pals room at PalTalk. Buffy posts charts throughout the day at www.dacharts.com. If you use Ensign charts, she also plays back the trading day after hours, to go through her methods. Also, you can download the template from within Ensign directly into your charts.  Now is that cool, or what?

Here is a good illustration from Mary as well.


The MOF takes a high percentage trend trade.  It is work to catch the bottoms and tops.  It is fun to trade the middle of a trend.
 
MOF stands for Money on Floor.  It is just a fancy name for a pure price action trade.
 
The purpose of an MOF is to:
Catch the first lower high in an uptrend
Catch the first higher low in a downtrend.
 
Please refer to the chart (The color references are to the black background chart) A white background chart is also attached.
 
1.  Note price is making a lower high here after making a lower low - trend has changed from up to down.
     Bar has tagged the upper Bollinger Band. 
     Bar colors are red showing the long term Stochastic in the 2X Study Window has the %K lower than the %D.
 
2.  In the 2X Study Window note the following:
     The long term stochastic - two red lines - have rolled over to the downside. 
     There is still a spread between %K and %D. 
     The short term stochastics - the red/yellow and green lines - have pulled back along with price. 
     We are looking for a short trade which is in the direction of the long term stochastics.
     It is not necessary for the short term stochastics to pull back into the sell zone or even cross the longer term Stochastics.
 
3.  In the Bline Study Window.
     The Bline is the white line with the colored circles.
      The other 4 lines are referred to as ribbons.
      Their relationship to the Bline and their direction is what sets up trades.
      The Bline is falling.
      The Ribbons have pulled back up to the sell zone - this is only necessary for the 5/3/3 (Cyan and Red lines) as you can have ribbon divergence which is where the 5/3/3 and 9/3/3 do not stay together.
       This setup is called the first sell signal with a falling Bline.
       We are looking for a short which is in the direction of the Bline.
 
4:
This is the 3rd signal - Hidden Divergence-HD (May also be called Reverse or Continuation Divergence)
Price has made a lower high while the MACD histogram has made a higher high.
Note the HD gave you plenty of warning this might be a 3 signal trade as the divergence was present on the completion of the second up bar.
Now it is just a matter of patience until the ribbons get to the sell zone.
 
When these three signals are present, it is a very high percentage winning trade.
When 2X and Bline signals are there, while it is still a high percentage trade, you need to be more aware of what is going on in the higher and lower time frames.
 
One way to trade this would be to enter a sell stop just below the last completed bar.  Generally this is called "Stalking the Retracement".
 
A simple way of describing this setup would be - The first touch of the opposite Bollinger Band after the long term stochastics have turned. 
Long term Stochastics down then touch of the upper band.
Long term Stochastic up then the touch of the lower band.
 
On this chart, the long term stochastics are down (bars red) and price tags the upper Bollinger Band.
 
While this is on a 343 constant tick chart, the setup is the same on any time frame.  As with all indicators, the larger moves are on the higher time frames.
