    Ok, you are right. At 15:00 an RTL was broken but there certainly was another trendline that is not present on your chart. Actually it is present on your chart but you did not extent it. I certainly should have drawn the trendline that you have there. I suppose it is more important than mine because the points you used are more recent and also your line is more precise because the points I used were quite close to eachother.

    regards,

  3. Nice moment today:

    Waiting for the Point 3 set up at 3:35 PM or so in the downward channel and then shorting at 1430.50 and covering for 2 points as price reversed.

    First time I came late to the day and waited and anticipated the Point 3 and went in on the trade as it hit lol.

  5. Here is my ES for today. I found the afternoon a little less clear than I did this morning. Usually, I find that the mornings are almost always better for me than the afternoons. This could simply be because of the volume is generally (but not always) higher between 9:30 to 12:30. Higher volume is easier for me to read/capture points. This would also leads me to wonder should I just trade in the mornings? Hmmmm.... afternoons free?

    Another thing, I find that the quicker I am to spot/act on an FTT, the better I do. Of course I'm wrong about a third of the time, but I simply "fix" the situation in those cases. I think I'm improving on my gaussians, but I still sometimes get confused in which channel I'm operating in. Overall, it was a good day. :D

    todays ES


    10:35 - 10:45 bars don't really work as far as gaussian vol.

    I suppose 10:35 and 10:40 could have been considered a HVS and 10:45 was mostly red. But over all price was falling and red vol was decreasing.

    (1) we have FTT due to blow out red vol

    (2) we have new up channel with B2B then viol exp line.

    (2) price move side way when blk vol decrease in up channel

    (3) flaw, it should go higher and stay within up channel

    another flaw.

    new point 3, we have another up channel.
    __________

    I guess that main diff is I already have 2 more up channels when you are still working with the higher level RTL
