Do your exhaustion systems wait for a trigger to trigger?
E.g. I wouldn't think you would get a system trigger without
first getting a pullback or two (it's hard to get divergences on a
daily chart when a bad day is sideways and the rest of the days are
up)
Exhaustion short no - it triggers off the highs. Sometimes those
exhaustion shorts can be great shorts picking a decent high,
HOWEVER most of the time you just get a mean reversion pullback in
the uptrend and if you wait for a reversal trigger you give up too
much waiting for the reversal confirmation. But again, a lot of
things have to line up for that condition to trigger such as like
> 30 consecutive days above a short term MA, and RSI >
a certain level, and %R in the upper 90's etc
