Paragon Dow Theory Line Chart

This method is based on Market Structure and is derived from a larger theory.  Buy signals are automatically generated based on Higher Highs and higher lows.  Sell signals are generated based on lower highs and lower lows – but with Colin’s unique twist.

Paragon Trendfinder 1.2

This method is created to identify the trend. Recognizing trends are the basis of all profits and recognizing them is a vital element of trading.  

Paragon Trendfinder, Dow Theory Combined

This method combines the Dow Theory and Trendfinder 1.2.  Colin Abrams’ analysis found better signals will occur during established trends.  This method will sometimes miss the first signal in a new trend, but this method provides even greater consistency and reliability

Paragon MA-205 Entry System

A simple but powerful system that aligns itself with the short-term trend. Entries trigger a 5-period moving average. The best signals occur when the prices are close to the 20-periods MA following pullbacks. When the prices are farther from the moving average, they might be overbought and likely to pull back toward the MA.

Paragon Weekly Buy Setup

This analysis is intended for use on weekly data and usually signals the start of a multi-week rally. Possible trades based on this signal include taking a short-term buy in a lower time interval (i.e., daily) and waiting for confirmation (the price breaking above the high of the signal bar). Or any other short- term entry in the direction of the reversal, such as a trendline break, or moving average cross. Or simply when the Weekly Buy Setup signal triggers. Therefore, the Paragon Weekly Buy Setup creates the environment or “setup” for a multi-week reversal of trend. Exact entry is discretionary.

Paragon also provides automatic buy and sell signals, signal explorations, and the ability to find securities that are primed for a purchase opportunity.  This means you’ll be able to:
