4/18/18... RTY 2 minute trading chart. Been using RTY lately for "trying" out annotation modifications. Basically, I'm working on trading/holding in larger containers. One thing in particular I'm finding helpful is recycling (fanning) pt3's rather than pt1's ... the down container which began just after 10am uses this. Spyder recycled (fanned) pt3's. Jack recycled (fanned) pt1's. Fanning pt3 creates fewer fans. For my interest in holding within larger containers, less fanning is a good thing. FWIW... it was the idea of fanning pt3's that I came up with my invention of a "tracker", when pt3 is yet unknown. Also, my annotating in general has oscillated between the two methods. I really need to land on one method or the other. I'm leaning to pt3's. Colored "dots" are sequence end markers. I also left my planetary markers in place. Astro-wise, there were no important aspects or timings today. No specific tendencies of note. Oh... I switched the volume algo... this one is based on the Johari Window. Jack called it Jokari window. Funny he was. As always, specific questions, if any, are welcome.
tiddlywinks--as I understand, eventually Spyder grew to understand what Jack meant when he said recycle your P1's.. it was merely a fractal issue, not an either or. Until the sequences are complete for each fractal level, the container lines of that particular fractal are fanned. So if we have a dom container that starts our P3 and goes sideways; those trendlines are fanned from P3. But instead of price walking out of the larger container we're building, those fan as well to keep encapsulating all three legs until sequences are complete and FTT occurs. Hope that makes sense. Here's some illustrations to demonstrate.
Hi Hero. Thanks for your input. Yes, it is "merely" a fractal issue. Recognizing sequence end is critical. BTW, It seems like your guassians are fitted to your geometry versus the other way around. I also think you've missed many containers/levels. JMHO. Trade On! I think pertinent based on your pics...
Agreed; it's a bare bones pass of the current trends--there's a lot of smaller fragments underneath. But regarding gaussians to geometry--geometry and vol seq together both need to synergize to bound the gaussian leg. Neither follows the other imo. At least if you're going to avoid jumping fractals; which may or may not be a goal. In the JH Futures Journal 1 you can see Spyder drawing B2B's right next to R2R's. By TL one complete x2x2y2x always followed another, with the x2x stretching from P1 to the point at which vol seq completion + SoC occurs. Higher fractal seq aren't curve fitted to the visual appearance of peaks and troughs. I think we should be in agreement but perhaps just discussing different levels of resolution. Breakeven solved Spyder's channel drill at the end of the TL thread and I go back to that exercise frequently. Great example of 9 small fractals building 3 medium fractals making one channel and a picture perfect representation of the method imo. Here's the chart along with how I draw my faster fractal stuff. I was wrong about a P3 of sorts at 955; but the textbook B2B2r2B with pace accel not breaching the high was a pretty clear sign to go short
Volume sequence is the gaussian! On this, geometry must match gaussian. Neither follows is correct... they are matching. Careful not to confuse end of sequence with sequence completion. VE, FTT, accel, BO, SoC, and the associated money making opportunities occur after pt3. End of sequence occurs as the next attempt to traverse immediately following pt3. End of sequence may or may not be sequence completion. R2B2R2B or B2R2B2R rotation until completion for example.
For me there's something "uncomfortable" about that post. It's like Jack is trying to sell the idea of using EOD. Talk of beta testing the idea, and use of the 30 minute (thats 13 bars or 7 pairs). Something is off, making it "uncomfortable" for me. Then I think that was written 12 years ago. Market behaviors haven't changed, but things have changed. Like autonomous cars... people and goods will be transported, just like today. But there will be differences. Or like televisions. A 1990s TV displays at x resolution. Todays TV displays at x resolution. But there are differences. ETFs, HFTs, fin-tech... the markets haven't changed but there are differences from 12 years ago. JMHO. My 2c.
My impression was that he was attempting to make the markets accessible to those that work for a living. There's a notion that one must engage in the markets full-time to be successful. PVT taught a number of concepts of the PV relationship, the HS of the PM, Jokari, OOE, cycling, scoring and building a database of high quality stocks. Once coded up, it doesn't require much time at all. All the Spydertrader's threads have the logic to build PVT from scratch, even with the broken links, unfound videos, missing chats, 404's and website's that are no longer. Recording the MACD, the fast and slow Stochastics, price and volume on a log build concentration and mental capacity. It can all be automated. The method consistently produces a list of companies before BO. I'd consider it a refinement of IBD's methodology. Unfortunately when Yahoo broke the api, so did my code. It needs to be ported into python which I haven't gotten around to yet. Any python coder's out there, shoot a pm,...
