I'm back in ?4GH thread and these guys are talking about the "flapper on the 5 minute bar". I also remember Jack talking about the "YM-$INDU" flapper. Is the "flapper" simply the moving portion of the price bar and for YM$, the changing value of the ∆?

TIA for any help.

Here is my work for today. +3.5
1. Down trend
2. Point 1,2 made waiting for point 3
3. Got it on the YM at around 10:32
4. Went short on ES at 1462.75
5. Wait for increasing Red volume on ES or possible increasing black at which point I would have reversed.
6. Increasing red to the LTL then I thought we had an FTT at the LTL so I closed at 10:39 1459.25.

All of those great trades you guys posted yesterday were inspirational
Good trading to everyone.

Nice work - I made almost the same trade

 

Thanks for the encouragement Procrast, off to work

 

My chart so far

 

We have increasing black volume on a BO of a short channel. Is this where we are supposed to get long?

 

Nice. I made the same trade but I had to wash it b/c I held longer.

 

1 entry, 1 reverse, 1 exit

Entry short on FBO of Carryover channel
Reverse on PT3 of newly fanned channel
Exit on VE of Forest Channel

+9.5 Points
