Pristine Method® Shakeouts
Why Do Shakeouts Happen?
1. News?
2. HFT’s (High Frequency Trading)?
3. Dark Pools?
4. Market Makers?
5. Lack of liquidity?
6. Fear/Greed?
Please choose the most relevant answer from the list above…

Pristine Shakeouts (PSO)
Pristine Shakeouts
1. A Strategic Entry into a stock that has proven to have RS/RW to the market but has
given little or no opportunity for entry.
2. Either a series of bars of the same color, or a 1 bar acceleration, that fall in the
opposite direction of the stocks current trend to prior Support.
3. PSO’s are ALL accompanied by a Surge In Volume.
4. Most often occur at or near HOD (Consolidating prior to Fall/Rise is a plus).
5. Unable to break the current trend of the stock on the time frame from which it was
played but breaks the trend line.
Note: Pristine Shakeouts have a very high reward to risk ratio and can offer the Pristine
Trader Enormous Profit Potential!

Volume Spike
Trading Tip: The Pristine Trained Trader waits for the bottoming tail to start to form before looking to enter.
9
One Bar Shakeouts
Bottoming Tail The bottom of the

base is Target 1
Use intraday chart and buy over

a prior bar’s high on 1’
timeframe near the ‘bottom’,
with a protective stop under
entry bar’s low.
Volume Spike
Trading Tip: The Pristine Trader will look to take profits at mR once the stock retraces back to the base.

Trading Tip: The Pristine Trained Trader will SOH and WAIT for an opportunity to buy this stock.
11
One Bar Shakeouts
Whole numbers can often be an area of support or

resistance. Like a “self-fulfilling prophecy”, when enough
people act there, they can create an effect.
The stock falls

directly to mS, PDC
and the Whole
Number at RT with
a surge in Volume!
Trading Tip: The Pristine Trained Trader will drill down to 1-min
timeframe and will look to buy this stock above prior bar’s high, with a
protective stop UNDER the tail.

Calculating Share Size
Basic Share-Sizing
Example Using $100 Risk

Entry: $44.18
Stop: $43.98
Stop Size: 20 cents ($44.18 - $43.98 = 20 cents)
$100 risk/20 cents = 500 shares
Or
500 shares x 20c = $100 risk
17
Calculating Risk to Reward
Calculating Risk to Reward
Target Divided by Stop = Potential Reward

Reward x Risk Capital = Potential Profits
Entry: $44.18
Stop: $43.98
Target: $45.00
($45.00 - $44.18 = $.80 (rounded off); divided by 20 cents = 4)
If target is Reached: Reward = 4:1 or $400

Multi-Bar Shakeouts
2’ Chart
Important: Retest
Stocks often shake more than once, and the lows Bar
from last shakeout are often retested. This allows
the PTT a second chance to capitalize on the
opportunity provided.
Trading Tip: The Pristine Trained Trader looks to buy the second shake
as long as the retest did not violate/break prior pivot low

Power-trends & Pre-climactics
www.pristine.com
54
Pre-climactics & Power-trends
Pristine Pre-climactics & Power-trends

General Theory
The Law of Motion: “An object in motion tends to remain in motion”..Pre-climactics

depend on this well-understood mechanism.
A. After a green bar, expect another green bar to form at least 80% of the time
B. After a red bar, expect another red bar to form at least 80% of the time
C. The bigger the green or red bar, the higher the odds of follow through…unless the move
becomes climactic
What is a pre-climactic stock:
It’s a stock that is moving rapidly and significantly in one direction on high volume,
independently of the market. In other words, it’s a stock with strong momentum moving
in one direction without yet appearing to exhaust the buyers/sellers.
What is a power-uptrend:
It’s rising stock trading above a smooth rising 8MA that is also above a smooth rising
20ma and the 200ma.

Pristine Pre-climactic Play (PPC)
Pristine Pre-climactics & Power-trends

Pristine Pre-climactics
General Theory
Notes:
Herd Mentality – understanding psychology behind price action
 Technical analysis of momentum moves is about uncovering herd mentality.
 During dynamic price movements, fear-greed exerts tremendous force.
 The bigger the move, the faster it happens, and the more volume it occurs on
(size/speed/volume), the more pain-exuberance there is. The more Fear-Greed.
 With that in mind, you must remember to step off the momentum train before it
reaches the station and starts reversing.
 Momentum strategies work through most market conditions since they are mostly
independent of the market.
 Remember: we are searching NOT for long–term momentum, but for short-term
momentum.
56
Pre-climactics & Power-trends
Pre-climactics vs. Power-trends
Differences between a power-trend and a pre-climactic:
1. Momentum: A pre-climactic typically has more momentum than a power-trend such that
moving averages are not able to catch up to price. Speed is measured through price
location relative to moving average location. In other words, pre-climactics are typically
more extended.
2. Acceleration: Pre-climactics not only move faster than power trends, but typically their
speed is also increasing with time. The increase in the speed of the stock is measured
though either a classic MACD indicator or by combing two moving averages, such as an
8MA and a 20MA.
3. Duration: A stock can stay in a power-trend for many hours. In fact, some power-trends
carry over into the following day. Pre-climactics typically last less than 1 hour.
4. Smoothness: Power-trends move in a smooth fashion, typically in a 45˚ angle. Pre-
climactics are sharper and more erratic.
5. Volume: Pre-climactics typically have increasing volume until the volume becomes
climactic and the move exhausts itself. Volume in power-trends remains steady until the
end of the trend. When a power-trend is near its end, the stock usually starts separating
from moving average and/or volume spikes.

Power-trend  Pre-climactic
Pre-climactic Type 1
If you are entering

Price beginning to here, you are
separate from MAs essentially now playing
a pre-climactic, not a
power-trend. What’s
entry & stop?
Trading Tip: There are two types of pre-climactics you will

play. One is the result of a power-trend that starts
accelerating away from the d8ma/d20ma and goes
climactic. The other type is formed when a stock goes
climactic and rallies a bit, but then drops back to the LOD Notice the
increase in
and starts basing there. Both are extremely profitable volume
trading patterns.

breaks down.

Pristine Momentum Buy (PMB)
General Requirements
Must Have:
1 The Technical Picture:
Power-Trend: A smooth rising stock > r8ma > r20ma > 200ma or a +POP (smooth rising stock > r20ma > 200ma)
Pre-climactic Type 1: Same as above, except that the stock started to accelerate/separate away from the 20ma, on
volume
Pre-climactic Type 2: Stock went climactic, then sold off, but later rallied back and started basing at or near HOD
2 A compelling daily chart (such as an igniting move/gap, or a failure pattern)
3 Sufficient Price VOID: Reward to Risk is at least 2 to 1
4 Relative Strength/on it’s own page
5 Above 200ma on 5-min and 15-min charts (the stock is not in a downtrend/bearish on larger timeframes)
6 If the stock is basing, then:
1. Base must be narrow and thin (i.e., small bars), not wide and whippy
2. Price must meet a rising 8/20ma (no crisscrossing)
3. Light or declining volume while basing
Can’t Have:
1 Fuzzy (lots of tails) power-trend
2 Stock is in the process of losing momentum (new highs should be proportional)
3 Spread is more than 1/4th of stop size
Q QQQ failing on last buy setup, or;
Q QQQ breaking down, or;
Q QQQ arriving at resistance
77
Pristine Momentum Buy (PMB)
Would like to have:
1 Stock is completely on its own page, either basing at HOD or maintaining a power uptrend while the market is declining
towards support
2 The move started from a significant event, such as, an igniting +WRB, bullish engulfing bar, or a failure pattern, on
above avg. volume
3 At: 10:30, 11:15, 12:00, 1:15 – 1:30, 2:15 – 2:30, 3:00 (+/- 5 min)
4 Stock is currently in a power uptrend on multiple timeframes (i.e., 1-min, 2-min & 5-min)
5 If stock is basing, then:
1.Last 2-3 bars have higher lows compared to rest of bars in base
2.A shakeout bar occurred in the last 2/3rds of the base
Power-Trend & Pre-climactic Type 1:
Entry Use the smallest possible timeframe where a power-uptrend exists and buy every dip and breakout. If the
stock is not providing a PBS, PBO, or RBI entry, then simply “Fall-in” as long as it’s in the area of the
r8/r20ma.
Pre-climactic Type 2:
Buy the PBO above the base at or near the HOD
Stop $.02 under pivot or base (stop must be on other side of moving average)
Target Remain in the stock for as long as it remains in a power-uptrend
• If the stock starts separating away from the 8/20ma, trail position bar by bar on 1-min timeframe
• If the stock puts in a +WRB/becomes climactic, either trail on Level II screen or simply take it
Mgmt Powertrend: Manage using pivots on the timeframe where a power trend exists. If no pivots are available, then use a
break of the 8/20ma as an exit.
Pre-climactic: AON until the stock goes climactic
Reminder: The goal is to stay with the trade for as long as it remains in a power-uptrend. If you can put your trust in the
8/20ma and just do nothing, you will make a lot of money
78
Closing Thoughts…
Pristine Power-Trends & Pre-climactics

1. The volatility inherent in trading preclimactics and powertrends increases risk and
inhibits safe entry-exit planning. As traders, we typically rely on support-resistance
to determine entries and pick targets. However, momentum stocks often display no
common landscape features at all. This requires taking difficult entries, with no
clear violation of support/resistance. In this blind environment, arbitrary stop losses
may sometimes be the only way to keep us out of intense danger.
2. To engage in momentum trading, you must have:

Patience and Discipline: You need to have the mental focus to remain steadfast
when things are going your way until the trade reaches target.
Detachment and Strict Emotional Control: Abandon the adrenaline rush, forget
the excitement. Profit depends upon detached and disciplined execution. Use cold
logic to exit the trade once the move is over and swiftly move onto fresh ideas that
reflect new inefficiencies.
Precise timing and sound risk management: The rapid price movements in
momentum trading require excellent timing, spontaneity, the ability to pull the
trigger, and excellent risk management. Remember, risk control is always job # 1

Climactics
Pristine Climactic Buy Setup

1. 5 or more consecutive lower highs or 5 or more red bars (having both is better)
2. Reversal bar: BT, NB/NRB, or +COG
3. Far below the 20ma (2% on 5-min chart)
4. Volume increase (optional at times)
5. Reversal Time (if intra-day)
81
Climactic Buy Setup (CBS)
From a Pattern  Tradable Strategy

Must Have:
1 The Pattern:
1. 5 or more consecutive lower highs or 5 or more red bars (having both is better)
2. Reversal bar: BT, NB/NRB, or +COG
3. Far below the 20ma – min. 2% away from 20ma on 5-min chart
4. Volume increase (optional if Full Climactic)
5. Reversal Time (if intra-day)
6. WRB(s): parabolic price acceleration away from the 20ma to the point of exhaustion, with the last bar
being the largest
7. The decline is climactic on at least 2 timeframes
2 Sufficient Reward to Risk (at least 2 to 1)
Can’t Have:
1 Recent breakdown on intraday timeframes (unless the stock is Full Climactic)
2 Basing at or near LOD
3 Today’s daily bar is: a tier 1 gap, a Mortgage Gap, or Gap n’ crap (e.g., gap disease), or showing a
strong failure pattern
Q • QQQ failing on last buy setup, or;
Q • QQQ breaking down
Q
82
Would like to have: Important Definitions
1 Volume surge (a big plus) Full Climactic: Daily shows 3+
2 Reversal Time (RT) green/red bars in a row, at
least two consecutive 20/20
3 The stock is considered a “Full Climactic”
bars, or today is a WRB
4 Daily trend is down (better if extended and best if climactic) forming in the same direction
5 Stock just broke MS on as many timeframes as possible of an extended daily.
Timing with the market: Mini Climactic: Today’s bar is

Q the first bar in this direction
•QQQ on an extended/climactic decline, or;
Q (only 1 green/red bar).
•QQQ at support, or;
Q
•QQQ moving in the direction of the stock – not opposite
• If 5min is picture perfect, then use 1 or 2min chart for entry (over the last bar’s high)
• If 5min is not picture perfect, back off and look at the 15min chart. If the 15min chart is good, then
Entry use 5min chart for entry
• Important Note: If “Full Climactic”, 5-min does not have to be “picture perfect” (i.e., +WRB on
+Vol.) in order to use the 1-min or 2-min for entry
• If Full Climactic, then TGT 1 = 20ma on 5min chart…and TGT 2 = 20ma on 15min chart
Target
• If Mini Climactic, then TGT 1 = 20ma on 1 or 2min chart…and TGT 2 = 20ma on 5min chart
Stop • LOD
• AON to 80% to target 1 (then BBB on 1 or 2min chart)
Mgmt • Stop B/E for back half once target 1 has been reached
• Back half managed on 5-min “significant” pivots until 80% to target 2 has been reached, then
switch to 1 or 2min BBB until target 2 is reached

Pristine Buy Setup (PBS)

1. Rising stock above a rising 20ma
2. 3 or more consecutive lower highs or 3 or more consecutive red bars (having
both is better)
3. Location: At price support and/or moving avg support
4. Retracement in the range of 40% to 60%
5. Reversal bar
6. Volume surge, Reversal Time (Optional)
97

Must Have:
1 The Pattern:
1.Rising stock above a rising 20ma
2.3+consecutive red bars or LH’s - having both is better (clean PB, no overlapping bars or GBIs)
3.Reversal bar
4.Location: At price support and/or moving average support
2 A compelling daily chart*
3 Price VOID and sufficient reward to risk (minimum 2:1)
4 Relative Strength
5 Above a rising 20ma on strategy timeframe, and 5-min chart (unless it’s pattern # 7)
6 After 10:30 and before 3:15 (best time is between 1:30 – 2:30)
Q • In a 5-min uptrend, or;
Q • In a 15-min or 60-min uptrend and pulled back to either mS or MS, or;
Q • In a trading range (in which case go long when QQQ is at the bottom of the range)
Can’t Have:
1 1st buy after a climactic sell setup
2 1st buy after a square or rounded top
3 Daily has put in 3+ consecutive green bars
4 Basing at the bottom of the pullback (unless a shakeout forms, thus negating the short-term
bearishness)
98

5 Excessive pullback (not more than 60% of prior rally)

• QQQ failing on last buy setup, or;
Q
• QQQ breaking down, or;
Q
• QQQ arriving at resistance
Q
• TRIN > 1.3 and trending up progressively
Would like to have:
1 Reversal Time
2 -WRB, BT, NB, NRB forming at the end of the pullback
3 Volume surge coming at the end of the pullback
4 Volume decline on pullback
5 Timing with the market: QQQ also triggering a PBS or PBO
Entry • $.02 above prior bar’s high
• If the stock is in a clearly defined 2-min or 5-min downtrend, make sure the downtrend has been broken before you enter AND the
15-min has also triggered
• Note: if 2-min or 5-min became mini climactic or has put in a –WRB on volume, then there is no need to wait for downtrend to end
before entering
Stop • $.02 under 15-min pivot low
Target • Prior pivot high
• Note: If prior pivot high is far away, and there is significant resistance below prior high, then consider that resistance area as target
1 and the prior pivot high as target 2
Mgmt • AON to 80% to target 1 (then BBB on 1 or 2min chart)
• Stop B/E for back half once target 1 has been reached
• Back half managed on 5-min “significant” pivots until 80% to target 2 has been reached, then switch to 1 or 2min BBB until target
2 is reached

Entry Tactics for 15-min chart
101
Pattern # 1: The Vanilla
20MA
Pattern description (The Vanilla):

A rising stock above a rising 20ma that has pulled back
on the 15-min chart and went into a downtrend on 2-min
timeframe. The entry triggers once a green reversal bar
goes above the prior bar’s high on 15-min timeframe.
However, the entry is not taken until the 2-min
downtrend has been broken.
101
+COG
A 15 minute Pristine buy setup (PBS), sitting on the 200 period

moving average (200ma), and at the rising 20 period moving
average (20ma), on strong minor support (mS), at a 50%
retracement (50%), that forms with a bottoming tail (BT) and a
narrow +COG
102
15-min
Enter above
this bar’s high
A smooth multi-bar pullback to the r20ma and Minor Support

(mS), all above the flat 200ma make this a picture perfect 15-min
buy setup.
104
5-min 15-min
NBs
Enter above
last bar’s high
A multi-bar pullback, inside of an igniting +WRB, to a smooth

r20ma on 15-min and a smooth r40ma on 5-min. Note also the
Breakdown with no follow through on the 5-min chart.

Variations on the 15-min Sell Setup (PSS)
15-min 5-min
Pinpoint entry on 5-min Chart.
PSS Action Steps

1. Short below the prior bar’s low
2. Place stop above the prior bar’s high or
2a. Place stop above the current bar’s high
3. Set minimum target at the prior pivot low
4. Manage in between the stop and target

106
Pattern # 2: The Bleed My personal favorite
Enter on a
base breakout
Pristine Tip:
Never take the 1st
entry on a stock
plagued by “trapped 20MA
traders.” Let the Stop under
stock prove that it
has “healed”, either
base or under
through time or 15-min pivot
price, before you low
enter.
Pattern description (The Bleed):

A 15-min that has “recovered” by going sideways after a rapid rally
in the morning which resulted in a deep retracement. The “healing
process” is complete and a Pristine Breakout (PBO) can be taken
once the r20ma catches up with price. The entry combines a 2-min
breakout/trend change inside of a 15-min Pristine Buy Setup (PBS).
107
Pattern # 2: The Bleed
= Possible entries/add & reduce
A double bottom at the r20ma and at reversal time was not enough to compel this
stock higher after putting in somewhat of a strong topping formation on the 15-min
chart and a sloppy pullback. It took 3 hours of bullish consolidation and a major
reversal time for the stock to get going. But once it did, the rest was history.
108
d20ma
A strong counter-rally after rapid fall in the morning often needs

time to heal and gather steam before it’s ready to move lower
again. The 15-min triggered a sell setup but the drop did not go
anyway until the 20ma caught up with price. Enter short on a
breakdown under the base, as price meets the d20ma.
109
d20ma
Minor Resistance (mR)
A strong rally into the gap fill (mR). The 15-min is played on base
breakdown off the d20ma.
110
Pattern # 3: The Gap Fill

Note: While the stock is pulling
back, the small timeframes will
likely be in downtrends. If any of
the timeframes is putting in LHs
and LLs, it is important to not buy
the downtrend unless it breaks, OR
a –WRB on +vol. is produced into
the mS area.
Minor Support (mS) 20MA
Pattern description (The Gap Fill):

A gap up in in the stock and a rapid drop to the gap
fill (could also be a flurry move down at the open).
This drop to support is often solidified by a flat
200ma on the 15-min chart, or a rising 20ma on the
5-min or 15-min chart.

Pattern # 4: The W with a Double Bottom (DB)
Enter once the 2min downtrend

is broken. Add to position (if
risk to reward permits) once
the neckline is broken
20MA
Pattern description (The W & DB):

A 15-min that has triggered a PBS but is not ready to go yet, either
because the retracement is too deep, price is still extended from
the 20ma, or the stock is waiting on the market. The healing
process happens once the stock puts in a W pattern that sets up
up the unexpected. The downtrend on the 2-min chart suddenly
ends and the double bottom suggests strength, which brings in
additional traders that missed or passed on the initial PBS.
116
Pristine Tip: On many

occasions, the 40/60%
retracement level will
coincide with minor
support (mS). If and when PBS
40/60
this happens, the potential
potency and reliability of
the play rise. The same is 40/60
true in reverse for stocks in
a downtrend.
40/60
= Enter as soon as the prior

bar’s high is taken out

Pattern # 5: The W with a higher low (HL)
20MA
Pattern description (The W & HL):

A 15-min that has triggered a PBS but is not ready to go yet, either
because the retracement is too deep, price is still extended from
the 20ma, or the stock is waiting on the market. The healing
process happens once the stock puts in a W pattern that setups
up the unexpected. The downtrend on the 2-min chart suddenly
ends and the higher low suggests strength, which brings in
additional traders that missed or passed on the initial PBS.

PSS
Today’s gap shows a major

failure on the daily chart
Shock Gaps and Failure Patterns set up the unexpected, thus trapping
traders. This tends to cause major problems for most ordinary
traders, but they can serve as major money making opportunities for
us. In other words, we are always prepared to profit from the a stock’s
failed attempt to do something highly expected by the majority.
125
Pattern # 6: The W with a shakeout
20MA
Pattern description (The W & shake):

A 15-min that has triggered a PBS but is not ready to go yet, either because the
retracement is too deep, price is still extended from the 20ma, or the stock is
waiting on the market. After triggering a PBS, the stock appears to want to
continue lower, and in fact, breaks under the prior pivot low on the 15-min chart,
but only to get bought almost immediately. Weak hands are thus shaken out of the
play and new shorts join in, expecting the 2-min downtrend to continue. This helps
to fuel the rally and complete a W pattern on the 15-min chart.
126
Pattern # 6: The M with a shakeout

15-min 5-min
2-min
Enter once the 2min or 5min uptrend is
broken. Add to position (if risk to reward
permits) once the neckline is broken – see
next page.
127
Pattern # 6: The W with a shakeout
= possible “add” location
128
Pattern # 7: The Mini into a Flat 200ma
20MA
Pattern description (Mini into 200ma):

A multi bar drop into a 200ma on the 15-min chart often stops the
stock dead in its tracks. While the 20ma is most powerful when it’s
trending, the 200ma is most powerful when it’s flat. Combine that
with a mini climactic drop with volume surge at the end, and you
get a strategy that can be traded almost independently of anything
else.

15-min
f200ma
A two day drop into the flat 200ma and a narrow range,
changing of the guard bar. Note also the WRB, surge in
volume, at 11:15 RT.
131
Pattern # 8: Twin Peaks
20MA
Shallow
Retracement
Pattern description (Twin Peaks):

A bearish stock that puts in a shallow retracement (counter rally)
and goes sideways. Instead of breaking down, the stock retests the
prior pivot high, which is typically a topping tail. The green (retest)
bar is immediately sold and turns into a TT bar. The stock then
breaks down under the base. This R&F makes the shallow
retracement playable, when it would not have been otherwise.
