Dr. Seuss Entry Technique

"One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish"

Boost Your P&L

The Dr. Seuss Entry Technique is a simple yet powerful method used to confirm an entry or add to an existing position with precision.

Boost your P&L with the advanced level entry technique known as "The Dr. Seuss Entry Technique."

Vinny E. Mini teaches to wait for price to retrace slightly against your position and then re-confirm direction through the appearance of a color-coded bar—either red for shorts or blue for longs (unless you've customized your AlgoBar colors) -signaling a resumption of momentum in your favor.

This technique helps avoid chasing entries and ensures you’re adding into strength, not weakness.

Memory Pegging: "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish"

Dr. Seuss Sell/Short Example

For example, if you're already short and price begins to pull back slightly—showing a few blue/bull AlgoBars (indicating a temporary upward retracement)—you don’t panic or exit. Instead, you watch for the first red/bear AlgoBar to appear, which confirms that selling pressure is returning.

The Dr. Seuss Entry Technique can be used to go long or short, and to enter or add to position.

At this point, the Dr. Seuss Entry gives you the green light to add more contracts confidently, stacking into your position with improved timing and lower risk.

Dr. Seuss Buy/Long Example

The same concept applies to long trades. Suppose you’re in a long position and price begins to retrace downward, painting a few red/bear bars. You patiently wait for the first bull bar to appear—this marks the potential end of the retracement and the return of buying pressure.

The Dr. Seuss Entry Technique can be used to go long or short, and to enter or add to position.

That bull bar becomes your cue to either enter a new position or scale in with additional contracts.

The strength of the Dr. Seuss technique lies in its visual simplicity and timing clarity. Rather than reacting emotionally to minor pullbacks, it teaches you to wait for price to show its hand. This promotes discipline and helps you capitalize on continuation moves with a higher degree of confidence.

When used in combination with other AlgoBox™ tools—such as the MACV, Delta signals, or the FlowMaster™ tools, the Dr. Seuss Entry Technique becomes even more powerful. It acts as a final confirmation trigger, turning a potential setup into an executable trade with clear risk and momentum alignment.
