Thank you very much for the sharing !! I lastely used Simplemaps, but only the trial version that expired after 1 month. I don't have yet money enough to subscribe to the upper version, so thank you very much for the Freeplane and Freemind free softwares @Simples I download it right now
A teeny AHA -> while filling the log, and specifically the 30min/5min Sent column, I realized that as I'm filling logs of past charts : - the sentiment of the 5min bar can only be written when the bars ends its 300th second formation and reveals its definitive form. So to speak, it will evoluate as long as the bar is building, but we log its sentiment when built. - the sentiment of 30min is also revealed, so from the first to the 6th 5min bar composing the 30min corresponding one, the 30min bar sentiment is always the same. Here's the little AHA -> when logging in real time, the 30min corresponding bar sentiment will/will not evoluate. It will depend on this evolution of the 6 5min bars composing it.
MADA and Log on today's chart after the fact. No real time. I'm ...a bit of tired, and overwhelmed also but not in the same sense that before in the past, when I was saying it. Before, it meant "I can't stand being at work anymore". Now, it's rather a "I feel I came to saturation and need some sleeping and funny things for some hours or one day, te digest what I did and be able to fill the remaining holes and revisit everything to refine it and go forward". I started at 10:am this morning, worked until 4:30pm, then had a break until 7:30pm, and went back to work until now, and it's now 10pm for me. Enough for today Have a great end of day to everyone, very best of iterative refinement to all of you
Working actively on EEs Here is an EE : Ba and Bc Ba is found when P2 is greater than P1 or an inside bar has a larger volume than the outside bar AND the volume is between P2 and T2P. If P2 is less than P1, the Bc volume is between P2 and P1. What is the clear interpretation of this ? A - Ba is found when P2 is greater than P1 AND the volume is between P2 and T2P OR an inside bar has a larger volume than the outside bar AND the volume is between P2 and T2P. OR B- Ba is found when P2 is greater than P1 OR an inside bar has a larger volume than the outside bar AND the volume is between P2 and T2P. Also, what I don’t get is if “internal bar” and “outside bar” both refer to price cases. If they do, then : As B EE’s can only appear on the B-Band so between P2 and T2P, does it mean we must find then an internal (SYM, FTP, FBP etc) AND an OB along the P1->T1-> P2-> T2P OOE ?
@Sprout , is there anything that could make you say that Simpleminds is better to use than any other software ? I finally found a possibility to buy it. If you advise to use it, which version of subscription do you find the best ? Pro version ?
From what I currently understand of this and what is relied to it, each time I find an EE : - if no band was active, then assign P1 on the current bar - if A-band was active, then assign P1 on the current bar - if B-band was active, then assign P1 on the current bar - if C-band was active, then assign P1 on the next bar If that is true, the firsty refinement I'll have to do on the 3 logs I filled is to restart the volume OOE each time an EE was found. There will be a lot, so a lot of refinement is beyond me happy about that. While writing the first paragraph of that post, I came to that, which is the answer. Let's refine just with that new understanding for now, on one of the logs previously posted.
" As for the VTP, it took me about a week to complete the first chart. It had lot’s of errors and ommissions but my approach was to do it in layers." Never understood this better than right now... It reminds me the "onion" metaphor It really suits very well the process now I get it
I have some migraine headache. The last three days have been intense. I'll either take a break of some hours now, maybe the entire day and be operational again tomorrow. Until then, here is the first parts of the 1st refining of the log of 03/27/19 I had posted. With the "in function of the activated Band, assign either on the current/next bar a P1 each time you locate an EE, and place a BM". I stopped because of my painful head and brain, and it also corresponded to some issue I found myself to face to. Here it is, light blue squared : 12:45pm, bar 40. After a B-Band Pass so T2P has appeared, the price case is XB so the prior long trend (FF) established continues, and we measure volume : here it is : volume is above the prior one which was a non measured bar, and the prior volume element was T2P. What is a peak after T2P with price case in the same direction of the trend ? I'd say it cannot be T2F, of course. Can it be a P2 ? if yes, then this opens the door to something that is blocked for me since long. Is that rev chron ? and so we do counterclock wise arrow pointing towards the next peak found in the reversed chrono order of OOE, which would be P2 ? Or is it another start of the volume OOE and so P1 ? Anyway, it'll be solved with or whithout any exterior help provided, although I'd be really full of gratitude if any help in terms of "locating where I can find the answer to that" was provided. In the meanwhile, I keep on reading my printed docs in order to find the answer. It is surely in it. I use now to stick a post-it on each page of the printed docs, writing the main themes and keywords developped on each page. It'll help me to have a synthesis of each page with just a glimpse at the post-it, which will, for later, help me with locating faster and easier where to find what. I take a long break, some 5-6 hours or the whole day. Until then, take all care of you, best of iterative refinement and a great week end to all of you ! See you later or tomorrow
I tried Freeplane today, but decided to go back to Freemind as it already has worked for my purposes in a professional setting. Freeplane looked cooler, but don't want to mess around with font sizes and too much design/format issues. I believe you can use Freemind for your purposes and should prove adequate until you decide otherwise.
