BPAX Tags

Prefix and Suffix in Diablo II game

BPAX Tags builds upon Al Brook's price action abbreviation and extends it using a naming convention similar to the suffixes of equipment in games like Diablo II. For example, in Diablo II, a shield named "Jeweler's Monarch of Balance" is shown in the right image. The shield has two suffixes, each with its own unique attributes:

Balance：10% Faster Hit Recovery
Jeweler：Socketed (4)

BPAX Tags follows similar principle, the suffix after "-" is used to describe the pattern before the "-", for e.g:

by Size: -S, -L, -XL.
- -S: Small
- -L: Large
- -XL: Extra Large
- Example:
  - BLBCOH-XL indicating an extra large BLBCOH (bull bar close on its high).
by Shape: -WT, -WB, -DT, -DB.
- -WT: Wedge top
- -WB: Wedge bottom
- -DT: Double top
- -DB: Double bottom
- Example:
  - MRV-WT. WT shaped MRV in a bear trend.
  - MRV-WB. WB shaped MRV in a bull trend.
by Success or Failure: <none>, -F.
- <none>: Success
- -F: Failure
- Example:
  - MTR-HL. Successful MTR with a higher low (HL).
  - MTR-HL-F. Failed HLMTR.
by Others: ATH.
- -O: Open
- -ATH: All time high
- Example:
  - BX-ATH. BX into ATH (all time high).

For two different patterns but "connected", i.e. pattern comes one after another, here is an example:

SXFO TR BRT. This means there is SX from the open (SXFO), then Trading Range (TR), then Bear Trend (BRT) resumption, like 20230815.
