Summary

This checklist summarizes how to identify MESA trading opportunities:

1. Type the symbol and time- or tick-base to be examined into a MESA page.

2. Look at the MESA Spectrum study’s line graph to measure the dominant cycle.

3. Look in MESA Spectrum’s main study window for signs of consistent cyclic activity over a half-cycle of the dominant cycle.

4. Adjust the time- or tick-base and repeat as necessary to find the best spectral indications.

5. Verify cyclic activity using the MESA Phase study: look for a saw-tooth pattern.

6. Verify cyclic or trending activity using the MESA Trend line.

7. If the studies’ indications are positive, back-test the prediction to confirm that the predicted turning point is consistent, and if it is, use the prediction to identify an entry point, a likely exit level, and stops.

8. If the indications are negative, try a different time- or tick-base or a different symbol, or wait until they are positive.
