KwikPop
KwikPop was founded in 1999 By Dick Raschdorf and
Wayne Harrison to build a simple and easy to use set of
trading indicators. These two friends founded the
company and built it to a well-known and respected
leader in the trader training world. When Wayne
passed away in Feb of 2014 Dick re-examined his life
and decided it would be best to sell the company and
spend more time with his family and playing more golf.

In July of 2014 the Company was purchased by Bill

Broughman with the sole idea of carrying on with the
same basic ideas that Wayne and Dick had built the
company on.

Bill has started the process of updating all of the code

and adding new options to the KwikPop Family of
Indicators. It has begun with the addition of the KP
Dynamic Power Bars with many more in mind.

THE COMMODITY FUTURES
TRADING COMMISSION. ( C.F.T.C.)
This brief statement does not disclose all of the risks
and other significant aspects of trading in futures and
options. In light of the risks, you should undertake
such transactions only if you understand the nature of
the contracts (and contractual relationships) into which
you are entering and the extent of your exposure to
risk. Trading in futures and options is not suitable for
many members of the public. You should carefully
consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light
of your experience, objectives, financial resources and
other relevant circumstances. Some of the examples
used are hypothetical. Hypothetical trading results
have many inherent limitations and may not reflect
actual results since they are done with the benefit of
hindsight and do not accurately reflect market
conditions and the trader’s emotional level while under
the stress of trading. No representation is being made
that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or
losses similar to those shown.

REALITY # 1; When it comes to trading real
money for a living.. YOU ARE YOUR WORST ENEMY.
Our emotions (Fear and Greed) coupled with confusion
can make us do some ridiculous things in the heat of
battle. Many studies have found that nearly half of all
trading losses are attributable to over compensation
based upon fear or greed.
Learning to control your emotions and develop a logical,
structured discipline for trading is a daunting task, but
it is a critical key to your success as a trader.

REALITY # 2; You earn your money from trading.

TRADING IS A BUSINESS! This is not a game of
chance like a craps table in a gambling casino or hitting
your lucky number in the Lotto drawing. This is all
about defining the probabilities of success and
targeting only those opportunities that have much
greater than average odds at producing a positive
outcome. Trading requires discipline, patience and total
focus.
As a business owner,' trader', you are looking for
proven methods that produce returns on capital
greater than other endeavors. You are not willing to
speculate on a doubling or tripling opportunity that
offers a risk quotient that may destroy your capital

6
base if you are wrong on your assumptions. You seek
out consistent, above average returns based upon a
proven methodology targeting, (baseball parlance),
substantially more singles and doubles than the
occasional home run. In essence, you want a production
line that can produce a widget at a fixed, controllable
cost that can be sold at a cost plus .. profit ...time and
time again.
Simple is the best. We can only comprehend a certain
amount of information at any point in time and the
greater the information overload ... the less likely we
are to succeed.
REALITY # 3; Those that do not take the time
and effort to 'learn' how to trade will never be able to
develop an automated trading system. Everybody wants
a magic machine that spits out money every day without
any effort or understanding on their part. THERE IS
NO SUCH MACHINE.. ANYWHERE. Embrace the
learning process, discover how the markets work, and
learn how to target high probability set ups that
consistently produce reasonable gains.
IN SHORT, UNDERSTAND THE TRADING
BUSINESS.

KwikPop Indicators
KwikPop is a unique set of indicators that truly could be
the foundation of my journey. I also found the
indicators lacking something and I thought I knew what
it was. We needed a way to smooth out the market
action and clean up the randomness seen in most
markets. For this manual I am going to cover only those
indicators we will be using in our setups while trading in
the KwikPop Training room. There are many more
indicators and they can be found in the Indicators
manual located on your C drive after you install Kwikpop
to your computer or you can download a copy for free
from our website at www.kwikpop.com Please take time
to review these indicators and get an understanding of
what they mean and how to read and understand them.
Also be sure you visit our Daily free training room at
www.gotomeet.me/kwikpop and review all of the
training videos on our Kwikpop training web site located
at: www.kwikpoptraining.com as these 2 locations will
always have the latest setups and other information.

KP Dynamic Power Bars
The KP Dynamic Power bars are a modified Renko type
Chart bar. We modified the code for two purposes.
First we wanted the bars to read true price action and
not to create false bars that would give traders the
wrong information about the past and possible future
out comes. Second and just as important we wanted the
bars to integrate with our unique set of indicators
while not degrading the signals.

KP Scorecard Color
This indicator is called Score Card because it ranks or ‘scores’ the profile of
9 custom indicator settings. A perfect score on the BUY side would be a +9
reading. A perfect score on the SELL side would be a –9. Whenever 5 or
more (score of +5 or greater) align in a positive manner the price bars turn
BLUE. Blue price bars are BULLISH and prices will usually trade higher.
Whenever 5 or more (score of -5 or greater) align in a negative manner the
price bars turn RED. Red price bars are BEARISH and prices will usually
trade lower. When the score is above –5 but less than +5 we get YELLOW
price bars which is a neutral condition vis-àvis momentum. We have 3
types of momentum reads in Kwik*POP. Short, intermediate and longer
term. KP SCORECARD measures intermediate term momentum and this
indicator is our most important indicator.

11
KP Fast2
This indicator colors the background of your chart based
of an algorithm that plots a light Blue background when
the momentum is moving the market upwards and a light
Gray background when the momentum is moving the
market downwards. This gives you and instant visual of
market direction.

While not a complete picture by itself it adds to the whole

as a visual background to alert the attentive trader.

12
KP Pivot2Color
KPPIVOT2COLOR is an indicator that plots dynamic
SUPPORT and RESISTANCE lines on your price chart.
There are two colors for the support/Resistance lines.
The resistance line turns WHITE whenever a new
PIVOT HIGH (PH text above the resistance line)
occurs. The support line turns BLUE whenever a Higher
Pivot Low (HPL text below the support line) occurs. An
uptrend is higher Pivot highs and higher Pivot lows. In
an uptrend where the market is making a series of
higher highs and higher lows the resistance line is
WHITE and the support line is BLUE. In a downtrend
the resistance line is RED and the support line in
WHITE. The resistance line turns RED whenever a
Lower Pivot High (LPH text above the resistance line)
occurs. A downtrend is lower Pivot highs and lower
Pivot lows. In a downtrend where the market is making
a series of lower highs and lower lows the resistance
line is RED and the support line is WHITE. The
Support/Resistance lines and text markers
automatically adjust when the price bars change from
RED to BLUE or BLUE to RED and Kpa900 crosses
KPAUTOSTOP. These dynamic support/resistance lines
are a critical component in our trading strategies as we
always look to buy higher pivot lows (HPL) and short

13
lower pivot highs (LPH). This strategy means we will
always be buyers in an uptrend and short sellers in a
downtrend.

Remember; The trend is your friend. Against the trend

can be your end!

Pivot2Color should easily keep you on the right side

of the trend

14
KPAutoStop
KPAUTOSTOP is a momentum oscillator scaled to price.
Many assume that it is some type of moving average,
but when you examine it carefully you’ll notice it
doesn’t plot like a moving average. It tends to loop
around and lag price sometimes, then accelerate
towards price very quickly at other times. It’s a
momentum oscillator.
KPAUTOSTOP is the critical LINE IN THE SAND that
segregates the Bulls from the Bears. You will NEVER
see a blue price bar closing below Autostop and you’ll
never see a red price bar closing above Autostop.
That’s a constant that you need to remember.
Red bars below AUTOSTOP, is a SELL CYCLE. Blue
bars above AUTOSTOP, is a BUY CYCLE. All trading
opportunities occur when price bars CROSS
AUTOSTOP and CHANGE COLOR. KPAUTOSTOP is
one of the components used in SCORECARD COLORS.
These are important facts to note when using
KPAUTOSTOP in designing your trading strategy.
This is an excellent FILTER on other TRIGGERS, or it
can be used as an Alternate TRIGGER as well. In the
next section we’ll discuss TRIGGERS and ALTERNATE
TRIGGERS. The important thing to remember is this;
RED price bars below AUTOSTOP is a SELLING CYCLE
15
and Blue price bars above AUTOSTOP is a BUYING
CYCLE.

The market is always in one of two states, either a

Buying Cycle or a Selling Cycle. When the price bars
cross AUTOSTOP and change colors (Red or Blue) the
cycle has definitively changed. That is a constant, or
theme that does not change and therefore a valuable
consideration in designing your trading strategy.

16
KP Medium
KPMEDIUM is a price momentum oscillator placed in a
sub graph underneath the price bars since it cannot be
scaled to price. It looks at the midpoint of each
price bar as the true price. The highs and lows on a
price bar are assumed to be noise, although it compares
the midpoint of each current price bar to the high and
low of the prior price bars as a reference on short
term strength. It uses the Fibonacci sequence for
comparative values looking back 3,5,8,13,21 and 34 bars
for ratios. It takes a significant move to get this
indicator to change colors from Blue to Red. There are
three plots on this indicator; Medium Up which is the
Blue vertical bars, Medium Down which is the Red
vertical bars and Medium MA which is a moving average
of the core indicator plotted as a white line on that
graph. KPMEDIUM is a tool designed to keep you in a
trade as long as possible. By using the midpoint of price
bars as the critical reference it also attempts to filter
out the confusing noise associated with individual price
bars bouncing around erratically every so often. In a,
‘normal’ market environment, values of greater than +10
or lower than –10 represent overbought/oversold levels
where price reversals tend to start from.

17
Although KPMEDIUM has no user defined variables, it
can be used as a FILTER against other TRIGGERS on
trade set ups.

18
KP Trend2
Is an additional Momentum indicator that could not be
scaled to price. For our purposes we have changed the
settings to 64, 19, 8 this is one more piece of
conformation for our entries.

19
KP Wayne3d
The Wayne 3D Box allows you to monitor momentum readings from 12
custom Kwik*POP indicators on 3 different chart intervals
simultaneously. In short, you are monitoring 36 different momentum
readings on 3 different chart intervals.
