I emailed the guy:
Reversal Magic is a time based method of trading that uses the geometry of the markets.
In a sense it is an indicator, but not as we normally think of indicators. It is manually determined (although it does have a mathematical equation that could be set up as an indicator). It is very unique, simple and effective.
Perhaps it would be easier to tell you what it is not than what it is. It is not based on Gann or Fibonacci numbers or any astrological method. Nor is it based on candlestick patterns, outside days or any other specific tick pattern. It is not based on static cycles where you find the distance between highs or lows and plots a similar distance for the expected next high or low. It is not a pattern like Turtle Soup, Wolfe Wave, Gartley Setup, or J-Hook. It is not based on indicators, or any pattern that they develop. In fact, practically anything that you can think of that you may have run into in trading Reversal Magic will not resemble in the least, because as I said it is very unique.
As far as projections, I usually estimate the approximate time when due and when the time draws close simply recheck. It only takes a couple of seconds to determine these. I keep a notepad on my desk for that purpose. But I also include a spreadsheet in Excel that will calculate the actual time or date. I will use this often for daily and above charts. There is a mathematical equation to this, but the easier and faster method is the graphical one.
It can be employed on intra day charts and when I provide real time training sessions I will use the e-mini during regular trading hours. You can use these methods with any time frame you desire. It is best to use this with what I refer to as dominant time frames which will show smoother swings and/or trends. If you use a time frame that has a lot of erratic movement, the method will be degraded in its performance. Probably the person you talked to tried it on such a time frame and didn't know what was wrong.
I already mentioned that this had nothing to do with Wolfe waves. Reversal Magic also has nothing to do with Andrews medium line studies either. However, you will see a few similarities of Andrews work with Balance Magic. I take a different approach that I believe is much more accurate, but it is harder to learn to apply than simply using a pitchfork. The benefit is that it does have a wider application.
If I missed anything or you if you should have any more questions, please just let me know.
