Isn't quantitative overlap just a corollary of volatility? I thought that was the reason we were using comparative overlap.
Drills. Or in my newly acquired neuroplastic vocabulary, shaping and massed practice (i.e. concentrated incremental training with graduated rewards). Doidge likens it to language immersion programs. Funny enough, I spent a Summer in Barcelona when I was 22, and went from zero Spanish to conversational fluency, in a process I can only nostalgically describe as effortless.
traverses in the green channel ... ... notice how parallel they are ... notice how they overlap ... notice volume on each traverse (I drew on spydertrader's chart ...)
Jack has his reasons for doing it a bit different this time around. I don't want to screw up your thread and go off topic with this. - EZ

chart debrief The early wallflower is trumped by the fashionably late. Although the late FTT reversals don't maximise profit potential, they're far better than an excessively early reversal, which by engendering two additional reversals, may lead to an expensive habit.

Lj, Hadn't meant to ignore this, but in my overzealous additions to my ignore list, I had accidentally added you too! No offense intended, and none taken I hope. Your comments are very helpful. I hadn't noticed the gap, nor picked up on the identical bars, which you refer to as even harmonics... didn't read beyond the early part of the futures journal, and hadn't come across the concept before. Now I know what EH stands for in Spyder's most recent chart. I'm not familiar with Oliver Sacks' writings, but thoroughly enjoyed Doidge. Am rereading parts. I can see how chill white expanses would be a detterent to prompt delivery, but I live in a suburb of London with excellent transport links! I still feel like the lumbering laggard, but am trying to pick up the pace of constructive work. Thanks for the kind words, Neo
As suspected, complete and correct annotation is the main stumbling block at the moment. One particularly telling sign is the asynchronous relationship of troughs and RTL BOs on my chart; the market's way to telling me I need to fix my lines. I'm working at a walk-in clinic tomorrow. Picture an office with a revolving door and an endless stream of patients, mostly 'worried well'. Will be lacking the mental faculties for an alert and purposeful market replay session after work. But no real time access until Wednesday and I'm averse to time wasting. Any suggestions on interim work?
I might humbly suggest you print out Spyders chart from friday, compare your gaussians to his and note where they differ.
