  1. See my chart above. Yes, its a flaw - one big Dip.

  2. The bar you shorted on had volume which was less than 1/2 the prior bar. Such low volume suggests flaw, not FTT. When volume plunges to 40-60% of the prior bar, think flaw.

  3. I see the dip, thank you. I guess the way to go about it is to see that 15:25 bar has very low volume and think "flaw", so dont get short. Then see what plays out and then determine what flaw we have?

    Or if I was short before the bar closed and then saw that volume was that low, I should just get out.

  5. We were traversing from the LTL to the RTL so this couldnt have been a FTT anyway. (on the green channel)

    Today's chart...

    Regarding the post about 'Harmonics', I think today I saw 'square waves' everywhere :D

    Spyder is it really this? or I'm seeing things ? :confused:

    Best Regards...

  7. 15:20 provided a volitility expansion, next bar could have very well been an FTT. I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I do see now that the bar itself was very low on volume and I should have seen this as a potential flaw.

  8. A FTT can only happen when price is going from the RTL to the LTL and fails. I think you were playing a retrace of the trend and I guess anticipated a BO.

  9. Price went from the RTL to the LTL creating a volitility expansion at 15:20. The next bar failed to traverse higher (FTT) potentially. However, as was pointed out by Bundlemaker and Spyder, this was a FLAW. Had it not been a flaw, we would have had an FTT.

    I think you must be misunderstanding what I'm saying, perhaps Spydertrader can comment and straighten this whole mess up :confused:

  10. Ok, I understand what you are saying now, however I dont think this is always the case. I see FTT's that do not have to come from a RTL to LTL traverse. I think it also depends on how many times you update or fan out a channel perhaps.
