Volume "cases" as you are saying, are the EE's (Early Ends or sometimes as misnomer, called End Events).
I don't want to dissuade anyones learning path, but EEs apply to a volume sequence. It's already known, a bar chart, time-based or not, merely represents bundles of information. Those bundles present multiple fractals at all times. You may be tracking only 3 fractals, but that doesn't mean more are not present. So which fractal does an EE apply too? Labeling is very minor, in fact its a basic from a programming pov. And remember, the price pane MUST match the volume sequence. A superior automation along these lines would be a WMCN (anticipation) tool, applied to volume bands, which is extremely complex, imo. The volume sequence is the major input, on any/all fractals.
Here are a couple of bar by bar commentaries I have. For me, this bar by bar stuff was filled with many aha's. I have others, these were 2 at my fingertips. This is how Jack used the dubbed, JHM 2.0 NB: in the 6-17-2013 txt, Jack states there was an entry, 8 reversals, and an exit. HOWEVER, there were 28 EEs.
Correct, but some Jack's drawing was automated. One can see list of TN indicators at the top of the Jack's chart
I read that you partially automate volume bands on Sierra Charts. Could you post some of your SC charts, please. Thank you, again.
I have a question stepan7... How are you determining IBGS? Only a couple ways I know... 1) track the FORMING of a bar in real-time, for example, has high of bar formed before the low, which many times, for that, and like characteristics, requires a bit of "guessing", and 2) wait until bar close, before analyzing semi-persistent bar-forming tracking data points. My question stems from the knowledge that IBGS can happen at anytime, irrespective of the pricebar "case", and irrespective if the "case" at any moment during formation can be locked-in or not. If only it was as simple as comparing close v open, compared against dom/non-dom segment
In the meantime, here is a sheet that might help you envision. It's not new, but it's not the common "bandaids" pic usually referenced.
