Torrents didn't work out. Will have to get something else going.

too risky to go to a site like that. The name alone suggests some unsavory business going on.

What is unsavory is the other torrent sites that loop you through their advertisers, lie and tell you they have the files and you can download them at high speed for a fee, or if you register. These sites don't have the files on their servers, they don't host them. After I posted the torrents they were already claiming to have the files, which had not even been uploaded to anyone - except to one of my own computers for testing and seeding. The evil bastids :angry:

 

By putting the links at PirateBay you get the link to the files hosted on my computer, no BS runaround or transferring you to another site, and at a trusted virus and spyware fee source - me!

 

Without a good virus program (shameless plug for Avast and Malawarebytes, both free) any site can give you a virus and, some of the advertisements on the sites can infect you without ever clicking on them. Though unsavory types use these sites and give them a bad name, they and other sites like them are the reason P2P software and streaming has come so far, and you are able to DL .99 songs and stream Pay Per View Sports at a reasonable price online. I've gotten more viruses from standard program updates from mainstream companies than from Torrents. - End Rant

 

BTW, have a new link for the files at a hosting site. They work. :thumbs up: PM if you're interested.

Thanks, Gucci for the chart. I totally forgot that point 2 must be outside the previous RTL and hence my earlier R2R was invalidated with the traverse ending 1350.

 

Is that ("I totally forgot that point 2 must be outside the previous RTL") always the case?

 

Thanks!

Thanks!

If the volume's through of the x2x move (pt1 to pt2) happens where the price crosses the previous container's rtl, then the pt2 of the new container must be outside the previous rtl.

Thanks cnms2, for the clarification.

 

Vienna, if I may add, I had mistaken the blue container sequence completion at 13:25 in the chart referred to in that post . Gucci's precise annotation showed the sequence completion at 13:50. I had also failed to see the VE after the point 3 of the blue container which should have alerted me that the sequence is yet uncompleted. After the final sequence completion, a new R2R would have to have the pt 2 outside the previous blue container.

 

TQ for the question.

My view of the day. The drill follows sequence completion, then SOC and repeat. It appears to me that the medium black traverse ended at bar 42 in my chart and I annotated a R2R based on volume pane gaussians as the previous container RTL had been broken. May I ask if this is correct interpretation since it happened on a lateral movement ?

 

The other tough period was the afternoon's lateral formations and movements. I tried to use the volume to determine the sequence as much as possible and hopefully am moving in the right direction.

My work for the 13-17 Dec 2010. 5ES.

 

My differentiation goals (accurate, thurough, consistent):

Properly annotate and integrate the 10 cases

When visible, annotate fast fractal and sub gaussians

Properly nest fractals

Using the fast fractal gaussian become more accurate regading sequence completion

Correctly "deal with" VEs

Correlate dominant volume peaks fractal to fractal to "see" macro PV relationship

 

I am possitive there are errors but I feel I have made progress. Any feedback or discussion is welcome.

 

Merry Christmas.

I keep a copy pasted to one of my monitors of CP4(http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/attachments/34/12221d1247803502-price-volume-relationship-clean_page_4.jpg).Notice the post FTT consideration comment "Region for pt2 of forming channel:1.after FTT and 2.To the right of the RTL".It's amazing how much is contained in this one little document.I believe that a lot could be obtained by further discussion about CP4(in particular post FTT considerations in Regions for pt3 including the Region for revised pt 3 of old channel).hth

First let me thank you for your post on price volume relationship. To put my story short, for the past 11 years I have been developing and fine tuning my own technical indicator, closely related to volume. I had gone through lot of info about indicators and stock market in general and consider myself an amateur trader. Ultimately when my indicator was ready, I found to my utter dismay that it was showing seemingly random patterns.

Recently when I was about to give up my efforts, I chanced upon your statement “If Volume is increasing, then the Price Trend is continuing” hit me as simplistic but then later I realized the truth of the saying “All great truths have a simplicity to them.” I made some changes to my tool (written in c++ and c#) and tried to decipher the indicator based on your rule. To my amazement I found that my indicator was actually predicting the market! Your rule is to free market dynamics what Newton’s law’s of motion is to classical physics. That rule hit me out of the darkness like lightning.

I don’t know much about fractals but if you gave the rule some though you would understand that it defines a fundamental behavior of any free market, driven by supply and demand. If you find a scenario in which the rule is not working I would be bold enough to say that there is something fundamentally flawed within the system. During my detailed analysis of the indicator using your rule I discovered a corollary to your rule. “If the volume is decreasing the trend may reverse.”

Once again thanking you for the tremendous insight your post provided me. It would be a great help if you could post more about fractal basics and maybe give a blueprint on how to make a technical indicator based on fractals.

 

Martin.

Hi Dear All,

 

I like to share with all of you an unique Christmas gift which I receive dfrom TL member SK0---

 

=================================================================================================================================

When it comes for a Tape to breakout RTL with increasing volume to form Pt 2 of a new Traverse, things can get complicated if one tape could not do the job. That is where a non-dom Tape followed by another dom Tape are needed to do the job of breaking out RTL with increasing volume to represent the first price movement of new Traverse which Spyder called it Fast Fractal Traverse. So, you can expect third price movement would be in Fast Fractal Traverse pattern too. As demonstrated in Gucci's charts, we could anticipate fanning after a FTT if we know the first price movement is a FF Traverse, not Tape.

Followup questions on 10/13:

 

1. Why the accelerated darker pink traverse? The pt 3 of the traverse must be there, or there aren't legitimate points 2 and 3 on the subsequent non-dom traverse.

 

2. Is the green up channel RTL correct? I have it starting on 10/7 @ 12:40. If not, would someone mind telling me where for the purposes of differentiating the first traverse from the second two?

 

Thanks in advance for any commentary.

Moosie, can you post 2 previous days as well? Without annotations. Maybe we can work something out.

Re 1: The accelerated stuff has all of the ingredients of a traverse. Look at the following chart

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2288546

 

and pay attention to how the market finished building the second pink traverse. The nondom tape of this traverse is built on increasing vol creating a faster fractal stuff. This pink creature wouldn't have been a traverse anymore had the market created a complete traverse in the nondom direction instead of a faster fractal stuff.

 

Re2: Can not tell much about your green channel, but looks good to me. Your chart 10/13 lacks the annotations of the up traverses in the green channel. Those would make things clearer, especially with respect to the faster fractal traverses built in the red channel.

    • also ... and barely on topic... Winners (always*) overpay. Buying the dips is a subscription to the belief that winners win by underpaying - when in actuality winners (inevitably/always*) win by overpaying... it’s amazing the percentage of traders who think winners win by underpaying ... “Winners (always*) overpay.” ...  One way to implement this ‘belief’ is to only reenter when prices have emphatically resumed the 'trend' .   (Fwiw, While “Winners (always*) overpay.” holds true in most endeavors (relationships, business, sports, etc...) - “Winners (always*) overpay.”  is especially true for auctions... continuous auctions included.)
    • re:  "Does it make sense to always buy the dips?  “Buy the dip.”  You hear this all the time in crypto investing trading speculation gambling. [zdo taking some liberties] It refers, of course, to buying more bitcoin (or digital assets) when they go down in price: when the price “dips.” Some people brag about “buying the dip," showing they know better than the crowd. Others “buy the dip” as an investment strategy: they’re getting a bargain. The problem is, buying the dip is a fallacy. You can’t buy the dip, because you can't see the total dip until much later. First, I’ll explain this in a way that will make it simple and obvious to you; then I’ll show you a better way of investing.

    • Date: 19th April 2024. Weekly Commodity Market Update: Oil Prices Correct and Supply Concerns Persist.   The ongoing developments in the Middle East sparked a wave of risk aversion and fueled supply concerns and investors headed for safety. Hopes for imminent rate cuts from the Federal Reserve diminish while attention is now turning towards the demand outlook. The Gold price hit a high of $2417.89 per ounce overnight. Sentiment has already calmed down again and bullion is trading at $2376.50 per ounce as haven flows ease. Oil prices initially moved higher as concern over escalating tensions with the WTI contract hit a session high of $85.508 per barrel overnight, before correcting to currently $81.45 per barrel. Oil Prices Under Pressure Amid Middle East Tensions Last week, commodity indexes showed little movement, with Oil prices undergoing a slight correction. Meanwhile, Gold reached yet another record high, mirroring the upward trend in cocoa prices. Once again today, USOil prices experienced a correction and has remained under pressure, retesting the 50-day EMA at $81.00 as we moving into the weekend. Hence, despite the Israel’s retaliatory strike on Iran, sentiments stabilized following reports suggesting a measured response aimed at avoiding further escalation. Brent crude futures witnessed a more than 4% leap, driven by concerns over potential disruptions to oil supplies in the Middle East, only to subsequently erase all gains. Similarly with USOIL, UKOIL hovers just below $87 per barrel, marginally below Thursday’s closing figures. Nevertheless, volatility is expected to continue in the market as several potential risks loom:   Disruption to the Strait of Hormuz: The possibility of Iran disrupting navigation through the vital shipping lane, is still in play. The Strait of Hormuz serves as the Persian Gulf’s primary route to international waters, with approximately 21 million barrels of oil passing through daily. Recent events, including Iran’s seizure of an Israel-linked container ship, underscore the geopolitical sensitivity of the region. Tougher Sanctions on Iran: Analysts speculate that the US may impose stricter sanctions on Iranian oil exports or intensify enforcement of existing restrictions. With global oil consumption reaching 102 million barrels per day, Iran’s production of 3.3 million barrels remains significant. Recent actions targeting Venezuelan oil highlight the potential for increased pressure on Iranian exports. OPEC Output Increases: Despite the desire for higher prices, OPEC members such as Saudi Arabia and Russia have constrained output in recent years. However, sustained crude prices above $100 per barrel could prompt concerns about demand and incentivize increased production. The OPEC may opt to boost oil output should tensions escalate further and prices surge. Ukraine Conflict: Amidst the focus on the Middle East, markets overlooking Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Potential retaliatory strikes by Kyiv on Russian oil infrastructure could impact exports, adding further complexity to global oil markets.   Technical Analysis USOIL is marking one of the steepest weekly declines witnessed this year after a brief period of consolidation. The breach below the pivotal support level of 84.00, coupled with the descent below the mid of the 4-month upchannel, signals a possible shift in market sentiment towards a bearish trend reversal. Adding to the bearish outlook are indications such as the downward slope in the RSI. However, the asset still hold above the 50-day EMA which coincides also with the mid of last year’s downleg, with key support zone at $80.00-$81.00. If it breaks this support zone, the focus may shift towards the 200-day EMA and 38.2% Fib. level at $77.60-$79.00. Conversely, a rejection of the $81 level and an upside potential could see the price returning back to $84.00. A break of the latter could trigger the attention back to the December’s resistance, situated around $86.60. A breakthrough above this level could ignite a stronger rally towards the $89.20-$90.00 zone.

    • Date: 18th April 2024. Market News – Stock markets benefit from Dollar correction. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Technical buying, bargain hunting, and risk aversion helped Treasuries rally and unwind recent losses. Yields dropped from the recent 2024 highs. Asian stock markets strengthened, as the US Dollar corrected in the wake of comments from Japan’s currency chief Masato Kanda, who said G7 countries continue to stress that excessive swings and disorderly moves in the foreign exchange market were harmful for economies. US Stockpiles expanded to 10-month high. The data overshadowed the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East as traders await Israel’s response to Iran’s unprecedented recent attack. President Joe Biden called for higher tariffs on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum.   Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex stumbled, falling to 105.66 at the end of the day from the intraday high of 106.48. It lost ground against most of its G10 peers. There wasn’t much on the calendar to provide new direction. USDJPY lows retesting the 154 bottom! NOT an intervention yet. BoJ/MoF USDJPY intervention happens when there is more than 100+ pip move in seconds, not 50 pips. USOIL slumped by 3% near $82, as US crude inventories rose by 2.7 million barrels last week, hitting the highest level since last June, while gauges of fuel demand declined. Gold strengthened as the dollar weakened and bullion is trading at $2378.44 per ounce. Market Trends:   Wall Street closed in the red after opening with small corrective gains. The NASDAQ underperformed, slumping -1.15%, with the S&P500 -0.58% lower, while the Dow lost -0.12. The Nikkei closed 0.2% higher, the Hang Seng gained more than 1. European and US futures are finding buyers. A gauge of global chip stocks and AI bellwether Nvidia Corp. have both fallen into a technical correction. The TMSC reported its first profit rise in a year, after strong AI demand revived growth at the world’s biggest contract chipmaker. The main chipmaker to Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp. recorded a 9% rise in net income, beating estimates. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Date: 17th April 2024. Market News – Appetite for risk-taking remains weak. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Stocks, Treasury yields and US Dollar stay firmed. Fed Chair Powell added to the recent sell off. His slightly more hawkish tone further priced out chances for any imminent action and the timing of a cut was pushed out further. He suggested if higher inflation does persist, the Fed will hold rates steady “for as long as needed.” Implied Fed Fund: There remains no real chance for a move on May 1 and at their intraday highs the June implied funds rate future showed only 5 bps, while July reflected only 10 bps. And a full 25 bps was not priced in until November, with 38 bps in cuts seen for 2024. US & EU Economies Diverging: Lagarde says ECB is moving toward rate cuts – if there are no major shocks. UK March CPI inflation falls less than expected. Output price inflation has started to nudge higher, despite another decline in input prices. Together with yesterday’s higher than expected wage numbers, the data will add to the arguments of the hawks at the BoE, which remain very reluctant to contemplate rate cuts. Canada CPI rose 0.6% in March, double the 0.3% February increase BUT core eased. The doors are still open for a possible cut at the next BoC meeting on June 5. IMF revised up its global growth forecast for 2024 with inflation easing, in its new World Economic Outlook. This is consistent with a global soft landing, according to the report. Financial Markets Performance:   USDJPY also inched up to 154.67 on expectations the BoJ will remain accommodative and as the market challenges a perceived 155 red line for MoF intervention. USOIL prices slipped -0.15% to $84.20 per barrel. Gold rose 0.24% to $2389.11 per ounce, a new record closing high as geopolitical risks overshadowed the impacts of rising rates and the stronger dollar. Market Trends:   Wall Street waffled either side of unchanged on the day amid dimming rate cut potential, rising yields, and earnings. The major indexes closed mixed with the Dow up 0.17%, while the S&P500 and NASDAQ lost -0.21% and -0.12%, respectively. Asian stock markets mostly corrected again, with Japanese bourses underperforming and the Nikkei down -1.3%. Mainland China bourses were a notable exception and the CSI 300 rallied 1.4%, but the MSCI Asia Pacific index came close to erasing the gains for this year. Always trade with strict risk management.
