Thank you for your response, EstabanUno. I guess it stands to reason, if we are to ignore the afterhours mkt, then it would follow to also disregard holiday trading sessions as well. Regards ...
Check here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1315386&highlight=Channels+levels#post1315386 It's pretty much what the channels doc says. Spyder has his own color scheme for the levels, nothing set in stone there.
Actually you can note the top and bottom of the overnight session. (see attached, I edited my chart) It might act as a support or resistance level or have an effect on the daily range. More of a question for Jack. It was part of the pre-flight check though not sure if we're supposed to get into that at this point. Sometimes I'll look at the overnight session to see how/if it is trending into the open, but don't use it for drawing channels. Regards, EZ
Hi, just some questions. I just noticed some kind of "double" FTT (check attachment). There's one on the yellow channel and another one for the white channel. Should these be considered stronger signals? At first I did not want to consider it an FTT because of volume issues. However, at the exact same time there was a volume peak at the 3 minute graph (see attach). Is this silly to do (switch to lower timeframe to check for volume peak) or is it ok? In this case it worked out and also yesterday there were some examples where 5 min did not show anything significant but 3 minute did. Spyder, is this something you do as well? regards, Ivo
ivob, It can't be an FTT of the yellow channel because FTT's only occur on the dominant travers. The yellow channel is a down trend, so an FTT could only occur if price failed to reach the left (lower in a down trend) channel line.
We will be looking at the 2 minute on the YM for this in a couple weeks, Spydertrader will be covering it in February. Also, check the charts posted at the end of today and compare your channels. That might clear some things up. - EZ
While doing some catching up, thought it might be helpful to post the log sheet. We're not supposed to jump ahead so ignore the YM, indicators and Action section. In fact you might be better off modifying it by removing the unsed part and increasing the Analysis area for more notes.

You know, this is all geometry. I love the utter simplicity of this method. Channels, price and volume. Red and Black.
