I think I figured out why 12:26 [close of] YM gave permision to seek change. It created VE and as such that part of the bar was dominant, therefore that fact that the bar is spike is irrelevant - red became dominant again and Jokari Window change followed.

I could use some help in understanding how today's 14:50 bar was not a traverse level signal of change (Price close outside the range of the previous bar w/ DBV). It appears we had a Pt3 confirmation at 14:45 but apparently this was the first dominant bar in the sequence. Any help would be appreciated. guava
guava, saw the same thing, as I often do when I think it's change, drop fractals, problem was I didnt stay on that fractal and missed it's sc/soc. ended up washing an 8 pt move. I dont know why it was not change. I also had to do the same thing at the 1510 bar, wasnt sure it was PV so jumped fractals. this one worked out better. I doubt that helps but figured you could use the company.
14:40 wait for next bar (lateral BO) 14:45 non-dom; so 14:40 non-dom So ... sequence not complete yet ... EDIT: Yours 1445 & 1450 ...
I dont believe we had a lateral there. We started a new up sequence at 1420 and 1445 was pt3/SC. I suppose one could say pace jumped and we needed to go around again. The beauty of being able to reverse engineer.
Take a look at Spyder's chart. Not lateral there. I presume the lateral you are referring to started at 14:05. The lateral got kill because one thing ended (down trav) and another started (up traverse). The only reason I can come up with and the one I used in real time is that we had a jump in pace telling we were expecting another non-dom move
My bars are beginning of ... Lateral 1425, 30 (close inside), 35 (BO down), 40 (BO up), 45 (BO confirmed)
