The Dart (Blip) formation occurs when there is a dramatic price change which is followed by an equally dramatic price change. There are two types of Darts: Up and Down.

Dart Up (Blip) Formations
This formation is where a sudden dramatic price increase occurs followed by an equally dramatic drop in price. A dart formation can appear anywhere in a chart.

To Trade a Dart Up:
Place a SELL order on the break down of the Right Feather (RF) along with a stop loss order just above the Tip.

Trading on a Dart formation is extremely risky.



 

Dart Down (Blip) Formation
This formation is where a sudden dramatic price decrease occurs followed by an equally dramatic increase in price. A dart formation can appear anywhere in a chart.

To Trade a Dart Down:
Place a BUY order on the break up of the Right Feather, and then place your stop loss order right below the Tip.

Trading on a Dart formation is extremely risky.
