Thanks Spyder! I have re-done the remaining drill bars with my new understanding. It appears that Avi had a real good grasp on the concept but I am struggling to understand why bar 12 is not considered dom? Bar 8: is an inside bar (SYM Pennant) creation on decreasing volume with price closing above the prior bars close. slowing of the money velocity looking for market transition back to dominance. Not sure if bar 8 is considered a spike bar? Bar 8 = non-dom Bar 9: Price BO RTL on IBV, The prior traverse is complete and a new sequence is beginning we do not tie one event to another (i.e. no lateral here). Bar 9 = dom Bar 10: IBGS on DBV, price moving laterally, anticipate PT2 creation Bar 10 = non-dom Bar 11: DRV, spike bar, also shows a slowing of the money velocity looking for market to transition back to dominance. created PT3 Bar 11 = non-dom Bar 12: Prive increasing, volume increasing, VE, sequence completion Bar 12 = return to dom Any thoughts, insights on bar 12?
How about a lateral starting at bar 9. Making bar 12 unknown. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2120590">
Nicely done, Jeesh! I even wrote "price moving laterally" and cannot get my mind to "see" the lateral. I need to do some re-programming...
SpyderTrader I have questions understanding with the concept of Dom vs Non_Dom has to do with sequences which tells us when to anticipate a signal for change. questions ( PLEASE SEE ATTACHED CHART FOR A CLEARER PICTURE OF MY QUESTIONS ). 1) Bar 7 is the first dominant bar of the day and we can now anticipate a signal for change. At the forrest level, using just the 5 minute ES, I see a dominate down transverse and at Bar 7 ( RED LINE ) and an anticipated point 3 occuring by way of a lateral or a non dominate transverse. At the forrest level we trade FTT and pt 3s. What signal for change are we anticipating after Bar 7 ??? 2) At the heart of my question/confusion is that I see the sequence that began at the last 3 bars on 10/6 ending on the first or second bar of 10/7. What is a sequence ? I was under the impression that sequences are contained within the dominate or non dominate tranverses. THANK YOU !
Lets continue from where spyder left off and complete the rest of the day. Here is a blank chart for 10/7. Continuing from ehorn's post, we have established bar 12 is non-dom until proven othewise. The chart shows a switch in dominance in price to the down side has taken place as it moves to create the traverse to finish building a channel. I am not sure where the up dominance was confirmed and where the change signal to go short is ( I am working through some possibilities) EDIT: I have labeled bar numbers on the chart for easy reference
On my chart, Bar 7 shows increasing Volume and closes back inside the previous bar. Hence, (again, on my chart) Bar 7 provides the signal for change. The market has indicated non-dominant movement where you 'see' a completed sequence. In real time, one can only believe they 'see' a completed sequence on Bar 1 if a bias in in place (one that automatically assumes increased Volume on Bar one means dominance). However, now, with the benefit of hindsght, you should be able to 'see' the market forming a Lateral. In other words, if you missed it in real time, nothing prevents you from 'seeing' things correctly at EOD other than your viewpoint of the market. No benefit comes from describing why someone believed an incorrect thing to be true. The benefit comes from learning how to spot the correct thing sooner. Those examples of different types of laterals, I posted some time ago, show Left to Right Price Movement on decreasing Volume. Clearly, the market has shown us the same thing here. Lastly, our sequences began on the previous day - moving lower on increasing Volume. The next day, the market moved left to right (Point Two to Point Three) as the day began. What must come next to complete the traverse? Seriously? This one does. It just starts the day before. - Spydertrader

I am still stuck on bar 12 & 13. I view bar 12 as unknown (coming out of lateral I posted about in the am) so I don't have dominance established to take the change signal on bar 13
