Once the Setup has been completed and Intersection has occurred, the Countdown phase begins.

The Countdown to identify a low risk zone requires a series of 13 bar closes less than (or equal) to the low 2 bars earlier. Note: the 13 count need not be consecutive. The Countdown to identify a low risk zone appears below the respective bars in red numbers from 1 to 13.

The Countdown to identify a high risk zone requires a series of 13 bar closes greater than (or equal to) the high 2 bars earlier. Note the 13 count need not be consecutive. The Countdown to identify a high risk zone appears on the chart above the respective bars in red numbers from 1 to 13.

During the Countdown, should the market complete another Setup, the Countdown process may have to begin again. This is called Recycle.
