Intersection
Intersection requires that the high of trading bar
8 of the Buy Setup, or of the first subsequent bar
thereafter, be greater than or equal to the low
three or more trading bars earlier, up to and
including the first bar of the TD Buy Setup. For
intersection to be fulfilled, the high of bar 8 of a
buy setup must be greater than or equal to the low
of bars 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 of the buy setup. If this
requirement is not met, then the high of bar 9 of
the buy setup must be greater than or equal to the
low of buy setup bar 6 or any other price bar back
to bar 1 of the buy setup. If this is not fulfilled, then
each successive price bar is compared until its high
is greater than or equal to the low of the price bar
three or more price bars earlier back to bar 1 of the
buy setup. If intersection occurs on price Setup
