Bill William’s Chaos Theory

Trading in the Zone

When both the momentum (Awesome Oscillator - AO) and acceleration (Acceleration / Deceleration Oscillator - AC) have the same direction (both green or red) this means that the momentum is accelerating in the favorable direction. Such a situation gives an opportunity to create the Zone (the fourth dimension):

• If both histogram bars (AC and AO) are green, this is defined as the Green Zone (a very bullish market).
• When both are red this is the Red Zone (a very bearish market).
• If histogram bars point in opposite directions then it is the Gray Zone (market is in transition).

In order to open a new long positions in the Green Zone (short positions in the Red Zone) you need to have at least two consecutive green (red) bars, and the close price of the second bar must be higher (lower) than the closing price of the preceding one.

However, we stop adding on to the Zone after five consecutive green or red histogram bars , as it is unusual for the market to have more than 6-8 bars of one colour. After the fifth green (red) histogram bar has occured, place a Stop Loss order one tick below the low (above the high) of the fifth bar. If the stop order is not executed on the next bar, then you should change it one tick below the low (above the high) of the sixth bar etc.
