Attached, please see the YM for the time frame in question. At the point you have marked these 'ftt's, we se now they are a stall (first) followed later by a dip (second). Both of these patterns are the market saying change, which is why we often mistake them for FTT's. However, soon after, we see on the YM failure to break out after our signal of change. Hence, the YM has signaled a change back to the former trend direction. Since the YM leads the ES, we realize very quickly that we did not have an FTT. Only now (because our focus remains on the Coarse Level resolution) do we have problems with mistakenly viewing these 'flaws' as ftt's. Later, as we drop down to lower resolution levels (trees, limbs and leaves) will we recognize that any change signal provides us opportunity for action (and profit). Hope that helps. - Spydertrader

Unbelievable Day. Six times I had to draw in steeper channels on the ES. I hope I haven't cluttered the chart too much. A great day to be a trader for sure. - Spydertrader
I have never seen anything like this. I did ok but percentage wise it wasnt that much. Did any of you make a killing today? Curious how the method does on a day like today. There were times that YM was moving 30-40 ticks in a few seconds. I dont know how to trade that kind of stuff.
