Looking at the middle circle in your example, the Internal starts at 10:10 (Bar 1) and lasts for 7 inside bars, first testing the short lateral boundary before BO of the long lateral boundary on the 7th bar. The lateral ends with two closes outside the long boundary. Bar1 - with a translation short (XR), There is one leg to the 10:10 bar. Bar2 - SYM 2 FBP, 2 leg Bar3 - XR, 2 leg Bar4 - OB, STD (outside bar -stitch down), 3 leg Bar5 - XB 2 FTP, 1 leg Bar6 - OB, XR (outside bar - translation short, stitch down), 1 leg Bar7 - OB, XB (outside bar - translation long, stitch up), 1 leg Bar8 - XB, BO of lateral, 3 leg From what I gather from your post, All the bars within a circle would add up to 1 bar. I don't understand how that connects with Jack describing legs of a bar, the dominant sentiment always being the second leg and how synthesizing all the bars of an internal can come up with one bar. Would you clarify?
Not sure where did you oserved 7 inside bars...The internal(FBP) starts at 10:15 on my chart.You then treat the combinations as one bar and what that bar is?that bar is the translation down bar. I think you misunderstood the leg conseption suggested by Jack.The 'bar leg' is related to the forming bar when it first goes up/down then it goes the opposite, second leg, a dominant leg as you correctly described.It has nothing to do with the internals.
Ok, using your example - the combinations of what? Legs? Bars within the lateral? What I think I hear you saying is that a FBP (which is formed by the minimum of two bars) can be reduced to a 1 bar example as a translation down (XR) bar. Is this what you mean? Maybe I'm mistaken. From my understanding the Internal starts at 10:10. It's this bar that sets the high and low that contains the closes of all subsequent inside bars. In your example there are 7 bars that are contained within the 10:10's bar shadow. There are bar close's outside but not two successive closes prior to the 10:45 BO bar. Here is the post that describes legs and using them for internals. SCTlearning from scratch This was in the context of "trend segments."
Yes. The leg of a bar is the leg that follows from the opening of a bar.Bar opens, it then ticking one tick up/down.Then it starts ticking in the opposite direction.It is a dominant leg.It`s all you need to know abot the bar`s legs.It sure can occur in an internal, but that`s another story. Some times a bar start moving in one direction from the opening.It`s a one leg bar.I don`t bother what a 3 -4 or 44 legged bars are, sorry. Hope that helps.
I've come across some clarity with the legs. Leg 2 is ALWAYS present. Leg 1 and leg 3 are not always present. When seeing a 1 leg move. It's the dominant 2nd leg presenting. There is no fourth leg when viewing a single bar. Confusion arises in applying the word "leg" in different fractal context. Legs in CW refer to larger trending price movements. D-D-nD-D-nD-D B2B2R2B R2R2B2R On larger fractal reduces to Three turn types: D-D D-nD nD-D The D-D goes through a momentary nD at a (sym, ftp, fbp, hitch) but the end result is D-D. I'll post the HDHPP D-nD calculator to demonstrate. It's geometric and a toy and in iterative refinement. It's just a slightly different lens by which to perceive JHM. Yet somehow the child's play is the way to understand some of Jack's concepts. For any who want to get started with a mental workout, arrange the 10 price cases in a spatial geometry to clarify internals from the rest of the price cases. This spatial geometry is a 2d representation of the profile of a octahedron. The 2-d representation can be printed out 4x. Each sheet is a face, you guessed it, of a 3-d octahedron. There are 2 marked Dom, the other 2 non-Dom. Next comes assembly,...
The geometry of price case cases. The tenth case connects the OB to a developing third bar which starts as a SYM. The pattern repeats again. Sym, ftp, fbp, hitch, make laterals. They also form a smaller fractal that enters and contains price until an exit. They cycle until we have a BO. The top and bottom XB, XR are the BO's that permit the measuring of volume.
Now using the above as a template, create four in total. Notecards are good for this. Two of the four are Dominants. The others non-Dominants. Of the two in a set, one has increasing vol, the other decreasing. Color the price bars as you would annotate. Make trendlines. Some supporting the trend, some a BO of trend. Trend being a Bar by bar comparison.
Connect the four by their folded middle diagonal axis in an alternating series. The effect is like a circular flip book. Dom to non-Dom, non-Dom to Dom, Dom to non-Dom, non-Dom to Dom The transition to Dom to Dom closes the "face" of non-Dom.
A closed face, changes the geometry from four faces to three. The archetype D-nD-D cycling of trends is True.
