Rtl considered "good enough" to not degap. Lat4+: keep comparing 1 close to dg lat bounds, all bars in lat measurable, lat bo is After lat ended. Internals remain INT wether measurable or not, ie. INT Wait, INT UL or INT Retro! Lat bars handled distinctly from 2-bar INT's altough Lat3 an internal PC. Geometry and relative volume suppress measurement, but not vica versa. Lat will stay Lat, not turn into XB/XR midway, though Lat1 and Lat BO may translate relatively to prior non-containing case (stitches may complicate). See Lat as relatively insignificant price movement. Not sure why spend so much thought squishing to what end. Maintain annotations, FS, Lat bounds, doji and events OOE to create necessary RDBMS context. If this confuses, just discard.
Through the generous sharing of your process all following can know this about you. It's a you with you worthiness thing. You still seek and desire approval from another, when it's your own approval of yourself which is at hand. You deserve the rewards you seek, it's not a matter of anything more that you can do, it's more a function of what you can allow. It's a conundrum that is ontological in nature. When you feel worthy and deserving, all manner of support is orchestrated by the universe. A simple shift in perspective can have one slow down enough to reread a line that exposes an insight that opens the path forward. A quiet whisper arising from within can give you a search phrase that yields a clarifying passage. Synchronicity and serendipity occur with greater and greater frequency. This is why enjoying the process of differentiation yields greater results than engaging in the process as a desperate attempt to get somewhere. One is about wanting what one has, the other is about having what one wants. In other words, if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, then what one has isn't what one wants. If the grass is greener on this side of the fence, then what one wants is what one has. You are doing great, there is nothing beyond your understanding. Given that english is not your primary language, it's impressive what you have accomplished - learning a foreign language within a foreign language. If anything a deep sense of satisfaction is what you are deserving.
If at anytime a bar within a lat goes beyond the established lats boundaries, then it has the possibility of being an XB and XR, thus not an internal. Since it doesn't close outside the lat's boundaries it is still considered a latX. However that bar doesn't get squished for it's not an internal like the internal's that are defined. When a bar has been squished then the new reference is the squished bar into the prior bar which is the new synthetic bar. Just think how a 30m bar is composed of 6 5m bars. We are training the mind to have an event-oriented perspective of the market not a time-oriented one. When it comes to the market system of operation; time is arbitrary, thus why degapping is necessary to trade faster timescales. To add to the mix an OB can be considered an internal in the case of it's relation to a pre-squished bar within a lat. ie lat2 is sym, lat3 is an OB. This particular case of OB is an internal since it is a lat3 and get's squished into the squished lat2 into lat1. It's the 2nd case where an OB is not an EE. It's a lot of squishing and non-squishing and thus why Jack stated that trading within laterals is an advanced topic. Taking the above as a set of rules makes it complicated. Understanding the underlying principals involved makes it much simpler. It's a paradox that something so complicated when viewed from the outside is so simple when viewed from within.
Trend segments and events follow one another relatively, though lat3 and stitches are the limit for Waits, Retro undoes that in hindsight. Geometry follows time, ie. rtl and slope. So I believe it's both often. Squishing affects events, geometry not so much, but other way around. Not sure PC in lat need much more than lat#, squishing doesn't affect bar#s (geometry). Jack charts need more dd and finding OP and DD principles is principal!
Geometry follows events. Price cases are events. It's true that they are located in time since we are using time-based charts. Squishing within lat's are logged as lat# is true. However, if say we are at lat6 and all bar's have been squished up to this bar but this bar is an XB in that it has a low within the lat and a high above the lat boundary, it is not a squishable bar. If it had the low = to the low of lat1 then yes, it fits the definition of a squishable bar. If you look at Jack's charts you will find OB's within lats that are not logged as OB's nor EE's. This only makes sense by squishing prior bars to the OB.
Do you think I don't? Let me tell you : I think I and feel I deserve more than almost anyone I know, what I want and work for. I just did not allow myself to SAY it, because of humbleness. And I see with a lot of obviousness that I am really really worthy. I see myself, don't worry about this.
And I might add that I am often really surprised not to see the Universe supporte me way more. In those moments, I begin to reconsider myself, re-evaluate what I feel/think about me to see any non-lining up inside of me with what I must BE. The more I advance, the more I know I AM what is to be And the more I expect the Universe to support me in a way more concrete way towards the rewards I think, humbly, that I deserve a 100%.
Thanks! I mean volume events. Will need to dd more @WchPl : The universe upholds you every moment, just that we tend to take it for granted and mind wants to be somewhere else. Update: Squish internals, ie. non translating bars. For lat this is lat bounds dg. Wait follows from suppression rules, lifted in hindsight at retro. So no XB, XR or OB inside Lat until close beyond lat bounds, thus no more Lat. So if annotating, squishing is taken care of no need to complicate too much when doing FS. Stitches can be funny! H and L beyond Lat bounds? Need close beyond and kill Lat, if same as just H Or L but no close beyond. Lat=PV going nowhere or sub. Seems OB can follow from internal inside Lat though. So principles may be more important than hard rules.
And the truth = the answer = the source of the problem is : @WchPl has not read/gone through/explored with enough consistency the material = the littérature. From now, better for me to DD that Being as I trust you when you say all the pieces are there AND nothing is beyond my understanding AND The only missing part/link is the comprehension THEN -> I haven't collected enough pieces.
What pieces are missing? PV-data IF/APA FF, TF, SF Pointers and formulas for RDBMS Now, getting all nuances in order, yes, a momentous task, though adhering to principles should keep one on the right side of markets.
