Market Monitor also indicates likely correction zones in a primary bull or bear move. So it gives you both long term and short term read on the direction of the market. At simplest level it tells you when to trade methods like Episodic Pivots, Double Trouble, Modified Double Trouble, IBD 100 and 200.
