• You are looking for a pivot in a share’s movement.
• Ideally you want to catch the point at which a retracement turns and the main trend continues.
• You need to apply the Power Play Basic Rules.
• You also need to use some filtering rules on other indicators and signs to confirm the validity of the Power Play.
• You also need to use your common sense and judgement.

Power Play Terminology

Day 1. The day used to define the Activator Day
