Is it because we hadn't had a Brown P3 yet by 14:05?

And the reason we hadn't had a Brown P3 by 14:05 is because all price action is still contained within the first Tape from Brown P1 to Brown P2 until 14:10?

In other words, we can't have a new P1 of anything until we've had a P3 of the previous thing we were building?

 

One more time... My answer won't give you any confidence. And that is what you need to be able to trade with support, comfort and confidence. Take your answer and apply it to the charts. This is where the confidence will come from.:) It should work anytime. Do not forget to think about the volume pane. It is still important.:) See what happens. You are on the right track.:)

 

One more thing. There might be a kind of rule one could have deduced from the general principles explained in the beginning of the thread, that would go like this: "The market always builds a new point three with every VE it creates." Now you can see what is wrong with this rule.:)

To have a P1 of anything we then need decreasing volume.

P1 to P2 has 2 halves of a leg, decreasing to increasing.

So I guess we don't have a P1 at 14'05 because 14.10 has increasing volume over 14.05.?

 

Trouble is I've lost the plot as to why repositioning or even having a new P1 is on the table, other than Spyders reply to Breakeven about a new Traverse P1 being in the wrong position on a chart Breakeven posted ...lol

Ok, here is the thing.

 

In order to have a traverse you need your sequence of volume being complete, right? You have it down cold. X2X2Y2X.

 

But there is something else. What else do you need? Your tapes (the price pane). What else? These tapes have to BREAK each other to make a traverse complete and they have to do so in conjunction with volume.

 

What else do you have to pay your attention to when doing your M of MADA?

 

VE right?

 

Why? Because they MIGHT create a new point 3. So in this case your sequence will start anew, restarting your MADA AND replacing your RTL.

 

Why MIGHT?

 

Because not all of VE’s create a new sequence. Some of them are just the remnants of a previous sequence waiting for its completion. So in the example I suggested to work at, the market startet a new sequence at 13:35, but did not do so at 14:05. At 14:05 it just ACCELERATED the comletion of the sequence it started at 13:35. And why? Because it could not complete its 2B before it did its VE of this new sequence.

 

HTH.

Just wondering if any devout followers of this method have successfully applied it to markets in real time with real money.

 

 

Simply stated, I am incredibly skeptical that anyone can apply this with any type of long term success.

HTH.

Gucci,for a VE to create a new sequence(move to a new point 1) the VE has to occur after point 3(in this case the 2B completed) and when a trader would have been looking for an FTT but instead the market VE'ed the LTL?

And we couldn't have had the P3 until we had a separate container (Tape here 14.10 to 14.20) from P2?

 

I'm hoping the above (in bold)both say the same thing all be it in a different way...what do you think ?

 

To add, I don't think the first Brown LTL is valid at 13.35.

Reason being that we would need a BO of the P1 to P2 Tape RTL to confirm we had a P2.

We don't get that until the 14:15 bar, hence the Brown number P2 at 14:10 and the Brown P3 there after at 14:20.

Imo we are only VE'ing the Magenta LTL.

Had the Brown LTL (the one from where the Brown number 2 is) VE'd then we would be looking for a new P1 after

the Brown number P3...?

 

Am I going mad ..lol ?

Can you fail to do something you've just completed doing?

 

Can Price Fail To Traverse that which it has just traversed?

More than a few people have posted their trade execution reports (either on TL.com or on ET.com) indicating they have reached profitability.

Nobody will care if you remain skeptical right up until the point you begin to make money. In fact, I was skeptical while I was first starting to make money. Ninety-five out of a hundred people dismiss my posts as pure hokum. I've always been cool with that.

Yes the market either FAILS to traverse(ftt's) after completing the order of events or it TRAVERSES(ve's) and continues on for another go around of events until it FAILS to traverse.Where have i read that before?LOL.Thank you spyder and gucci for your patience. Edited by patrader

The people participating here aren't 'followers' of any sort. They are here working towards learning something. As such, to direct your question to students makes little sense.

 

Would you ask a Med Student how many surgeries he or she performed successfully?

 

Would you ask a Law Student how many cases he or she has won?

 

Would you ask an apprentice carpenter how many homes he or she has built?

 

If you truely do have an interest in receiving an answer to your question from individuals who have completed the learning process, then you've already been provided the location of the evidence you seek.

 

Look for it, or don't look for the evidence already provided. Makes no difference to me, but you might want to consider the possibility your question has already been asked (and answered) long before you ever posted in this thread.

 

Good trading to you.

Ok, so where do I find a student of this method who has received a degree like a med, or law student eventually receives and is achieving success the way a lawyer or doctor does?

 

The sources you provided seem to have students and no degreed traders achieving success.

 

Are you trading it successfully or are you just the president and not a client?

Any thoughts on the two annotation options in the attached screenshots? In the first, I regard the upward movement from the 10:20 (close-of) bar as a tape that pushes out to a new pt 3 of the medium short container. In the second, it is annotated as a full traverse.

 

In the previous attempt I annotated it as the traverse, but it feels like I have to torture the gaussians to match the drawn thin containers. How should one choose between the interpretations?

You should consider the effect changing Pace has on your ability to 'see' things clearly, and start again. You should also consider annotating three fractals in an effort to see how the nesting process works. Sometimes proper nesting of fractals can make things a bit easier to see.

Yes I see what you mean.

I think it was a case of my brain knowing what it was thinking without realising it wasn't on the printed page.

The subject matter moved onto VE's and new P1's so I was grappling with that

as further information, and then began to realize how it related to my initial questions about fractals,

for which I would like to thank you gucci.

It has been a further and welcome insight.

Thank you.

 

If I may ask for your continued patience, I would like to re-iterate from

your post # 2373, and my question in post#2374

 

I knew this because the market changed pace on 16:35 bar and didn’t return to dominance yet. Look at the price bar and volume. Furthermore all of this transpired in an accelerated B2B container.

and my questions...

Would I be correct to say that the green rtl on your dax chart is your accelerated ?

If so then you wouldn't have accelerated that until the close of the 16:35?

If so I'm a bit confused by that last sentence above I've put in in bold?

 

16:35 on your Dax clip closes above it's open and outside the range of the previous red bar, but you still considered it as a non dom bar. I shall have to ponder on why.

I'm hoping the reason is definitive ?

 

My continued thanks gucci...

I am not exactly sure what you mean by Pace. I have done some searching and can't decipher if it is just volume levels/peaks or the speed that a fractal completes or the volatility of price.

 

Could you give us a bit of a primer on what exactly Pace is?

 

Thanks very much!

See those lines in the Volume Pane? Those are different Pace Levels (VDU, DU, Slow, Medium, Fast and Extreme). In the beginning of this thread (First couple of pages), I posted a graphic showing the relationship between Volitility (Price) and Pace levels (Volume). Others (cnms2's posts come to mind, along with a few others) have provided guidance with respect to what one can expect with certain types of Pace Changes.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
