Yes the tic tac toe is a module as you say. Very good reasoning, congrats! The 10th case (the lateral) is what appears when the bar 1 of the tic tac toe casts a price shadow over a thrid bar. In trending, the movement forward of a trend is caused by a sequence of translations. Squishing internals allows for this pair "reading" in the same fractal context. So on a lateral or in a forwarding to and past the point 3 of the parallelogram, a person goes to the sub-fractal level of detail to "catch" the end of the trend. Read about the "retro" on bar 4 of a lat. The mind, when working (thinking) is so eloquent. It is so neat that markets came into being. they have a purpose, of course, but their they are and the offer is always available to anyone for the taking. I just see doing the extraction as a device for getting money being given away by Wall Street to a more useful place. For a while I thought nodoji was going to be able to show MS a new occupation. But if he had money, he wouldn't know what to do with it anyways. The sons of the owner of the gliderport I used were in college when they all learned to make money. The sons stayed in college and had the viewpoint that they were learning about helping out the world. They never formally worked, and they did just start out doing their best to contribute. I remember chatting on the tarmac after a flight. One of the sons said "I was glad to see you keep that wing low on that takeoff. If you hadn't you could have clipped that telephone pole on the lee side of the runway." He was very observant. They weren't letting just anyone take a tow in the crosswind that day( about 30knots). My habit was to just get off, up and get windward right away so I could dive towards the tow'er tail and get slack in the line ASAP. The desert is all thermals anyway ...lol .. Trading is similar to flying and doing acrobatics. Instead of seeing a display you just feel the air pressure in your five way. Its "tape reading" in the air.
Jack, It has helped me tremendously to see a hand annotated log in conjunction with a TN annotated chart for the same time period. I then go through those by by bar and ask you many questions, and from your answers it comes together in my mind piece by piece. Please continue posting logs/charts from time to time if not too much trouble. A couple more questions from 8-02-13: 1. If bar 11 had closed 1 tick lower it would have been a C turn on bar 11 via BM-Rev --> BO T1, correct? 2. Can an Ab occur after a T1 but before a P2? The sheet doesn't specify. I ask because If Ab is allowed immediately following T1, bar 11 would have been a BM-Rev --> Ab C turn. 3. How does one begin volume annotation from scratch, meaning I don't know the carryover context/N-1 turn for most days so if I wanted to begin annotating can I simply assign a P1 then look for an A turn followed by a B, etc? The problem I see with that approach (using 8-2 as an example) is the correct B turn and corresponding P1 occurred in the prior trading day.
cool stuff. As my alias suggests, I like simple so can't be bothered to translate in TA or rules etc. Keep it in original form and process real time. It works well enough for swing trading.
Yes, I understand your request to get started. It is amazing how the slightest variation can cause a definite change in the sequences. I am reading your comments with great interest. I am handicapped because usually I am working with a team and different Q's are piling in all the time. What I usually do to get started is use the continuity of the carry over and make the entry within seconds of the open. There are past posts (with prints) of this nature. Your post points out that you are now thinkng on each concurrent level of trend monitoring and analysis. Please go back to 06-24-13 and find an attachment entitled "6 steps". From there onward you can "read" a description of how to get started. By the 27th you see I have posted some common errors and their corrections. you can go all the way back to march 21st and see me working with a person who latter dropped out (jeredlbb) Go back further to see day 1 of that series of comments. I put them into a 3 ring and I am editting the whole thread training into a booklet or report. As you say just pick an arbitrary place and begin. what happens is this; you gradually have the self correcting nature of the design bring you into the correct alignment. On Monday I am handing out ten anntoated charts. Our team will then fill in the ten associated logs to complete fifty pages of drills. This is a softening up approach where my charts are already done and following the chart annotations gets the mind to begin to form a spectrum. Gradually this psetrum fills in and the mind then formulates Q's whose answers fill in weak spots. You can just open your platform and print two weeks of charts. then go through the charts and annotate them in pencil and also fill in the logs for the charts. punch and tab the reference sheets and the flow sheets that were put up after the 24th. Make mistakes. When you find a mistake then go back and do it over correctly. This Monday I will be trading live. Three people of five will be sitting watching me. they will "SEE" a person using annotation, logging and the 10 to 12 leading indicators of price on an array of screens. they get to see me move from mouse to mouse. What they will like the most is watching the "gas Pump" action on the trading platform and how I prepare for each reversal immediately after I have locked in a profit segment. You are working remote. If you review jered sufficiently you see his platform is no good and that he has to change it out. He found that it could not do any math based "hilighting". The thread on color is now running. about none of the posters there are using color to facilitate their trading. As you look at my charts you see color is used to speed up the "tape reading" immensely. We compress 10,000 idiot hours into 10 days live in Tucson. today computers can do all the work since it is easy to go to an ATS orientation. But it is best to build the mind over 10 days or so.
Thanks Jack, you answered my question #3, answer = start with a P1 and the annotations will eventually self correct. Can you please address questions 1 and 2 when u get a chance - thanks. A couple more questions from 8-02-13: 1. If bar 11 had closed 1 tick lower it would have been a C turn on bar 11 via BM-Rev --> BO T1, correct? 2. Can an Ab occur after a T1 but before a P2?

Fear comes from loss. or some situations you do not like 1. you do not want to be stuck in a stituation you feel you are trapped, for example, a strong rally, you short it, and it continues to march up, bar to bar, day to day. 2. you just do not want to lose. you know the market is unpreticable. whatever you do, whether trending following, counter trading, indicator trading,FA trading, there is no gurantee the trade you entered is a winner. 3. you do not want to miss opportunties. the market is full of opportunities, it is so powerful, one trade may make you instantly rich. you wintnessed lots of opprtunties, that reminds you: you donot want to miss any more. I use Bible to help me conquer fear. "whatever planned by human beings will not be realized. only God's plan will do", that makes me objective, not monitor my emotions closely , while stand outside, and observe market's plan closely,listen to its hartbeat (not mines), execute the market's plan . the only thing we can benefit from the market is execute the market's plan, not ours. when I just pay attention to market's plan, most time I can follow their dancing steps. when I do not, I often found myself in an unexpetced place, normally trapped, unpleasant. think "fear and other emotions interfering your trading is Santan", you will feel better, you may have the conviction not let emotions rule your life. read BIBle, read BIBle, .... after many times, those things will pop out of your mind, and Santan will be jailed!
Fear comes from not knowing Obviously not knowing is an integral part of the mkt/ price movement (note; I said the mkt / price movement - not a traderâs actions) Figure out what you can knowâ¦, come to accept what youâll never ( gotta do some heavy lifting here) Then determine if you can live/thrive in that type of environment Proceed accordingly ========================== Straight up; if loss/ a losing trade - causes you fear in any way â trading is not for you ========================== Lot of usefulness from losing trades; Protects one's ass/ account Tells a trader what price is not doing Tells a trader he/ she in not in sync with price Many in a row alerts a trader he/ she may need a break/ vacation - and/or may need to reassess/ modify what they're doing To name a few RN
1. If so, then this is true. As you watch the bar form, you consider what is the space. then you see the shape. The shape changes until it is locked in. 2. No. A band is formed as the Primary. Before P2 the primary is not formed. Look at my comments on OOE's. The OOE's provide a complete shell in the logic. Think of an onion have shells from a ball core. Human behavior comes from nature.
So one cannot begin to look for any bands until after P2? Can an Ab A turn be followed by a BM-Rev B turn ? don't see that combo in the tables
