Ma di cosa parli? di che libro parli?
Il Setup è già formato con le nove barre e da lì inizia il countdown del sequential che ha regole ben diverse

By Tom DeMark. "Futures", April 1997:
Setup The initial setup phase consists of a series of at least nine consecutive closes less than the close four trading bars earlier for a buy setup and at least nine consecutive closes greater than the close four trading bars earlier for a sell setup. Setup establishes the environment or the context for the market and determines whether a trader should be looking to buy or sell the market.
I have added a caveat to the phrase "The trend is your friend." It is "...unless thetrend is about to end." At that point it is not prudent to trade with the trend. Most of my market timing indicators, as is the TD Sequential, are designed to anticipate trend reversals.
Intersection Once the setup series has been defined, I review price activity beginning on day 8 of setup to determine whether the setup process has been perfected and countdown can begin. To accomplish this, I require a phase I refer to as intersection.
Intersection requires the high of bar 8 of a buy setup 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.
For intersection to occur in a sell setup, the low of setup price bar 8, 9 or the first subsequent bar must be less than or equal to the high three or more price bars earlier all the way back to bar 1 of the sell setup.
Intersection is a required step because it assures that the rate of decline or advance is decelerating sufficiently to enter the final phase, which is countdown.
Countdown TD Sequential buy countdown consists of a series of 13 successive closes less than or equal to the low two price bars earlier. Once that has been accomplished, the market generally is in a low-risk buy entry zone. The TD Sequential sell countdown consists of a series of 13
successive closes greater than or equal to the high two price bars earlier. This generally indicates a low-risk sell entry zone.
Whereas setup requires the price comparisons be maintained consecutively, countdown does not apply such restrictions. To prevent high-level, low-risk buy countdown 13 entries and low-level, low-risk sell countdown 13 entries, I've installed the requirement that day 13 of a buy countdown be postponed until it occurs below day 8 of the buy countdown and, conversely, that day 13 of a sell countdown be postponed until it occurs above day 8 of the sell countdown. "Recycling" is a concern that could arise in a strongly trending market. Generally speaking, if a subsequent setup occurs prior to completion of countdown, then a new countdown process must begin.
