Given the fractal nature, substituting tape for bbt and channel for tape would be appropriate?

 

Thanks

It seems logical:

But it is not my understanding that Tapes need to be of equal weight to build a Traverse

and that Traverses need to be of equal weight to build a Channel.

 

ie: we may have one Tape made of 3 BBT's and another Tape made of say 5 BBT's.

Also we might have one Traverse made of 3 Tapes and another Traverse made of 5 Tapes.

 

 

Rather:

 

Treat each Tape independently of each Tape in this respect.

 

Treat each Traverse independently of each Traverse in this respect.

 

Treat each Channel independently of each Channel in this respect.

 

Equal weight containers apply only in building a Tape.

 

 

 

How fractals build or get re labelled has to do with whether or not seq are complete.

Unless the seq within BBT 3 (minimum) completes then we haven't completed a Tape seq.

The logic is that not until that is done can anything else be built.

 

ie:

if the volume sequence for a Tape has not completed (which gets done in BBT 3 (minimum)

by the time price breaks out of BBT 3's rtl then we are still building BBT 3.

 

If the volume seq for a Tape has not completed (which gets done in BBT 3 (minimum)

by the time price breaks out of the Tapes RTL, then what we had up to then (BBT 1 and BBT 2 and the current BBT 3) are not a Tape. They are all just BBT 1.

 

 

In other words:

All seq have to complete to have a Tape.

If they don't, then we don't have a Tape.

If we don't have a Tape what we had can only be a BBT (1) building a Tape.

I'm no authority on this.

But as I'm not getting any younger and as much pain, anguish and cost

as I've been through with trying to understand this methodology to a level that is consistantly usable, the following is in an effort to help all and anyone that has either been through the same and or, to help avoid or limit the confussion going forward:

 

 

This is a RED FLAG, be very careful what you FilterTip has to say. What is the reason he does not post annotated charts. He keeps coming back with more and more theory. We are also not getting any younger. I don't think he knows how to apply the theory. :2c:

I think the vacuum you had previously been living in has effected you. You always seem to misread posts (not the first time), I suggest you go back and re-read it, nowhere in the post is it about me. This thread is about the “The Price / Volume Relationship”

 

You need to relax and take a deep breath, air is free. No more need for oxygen tanks from the vacuum

I find laudable that FilterTip shared some of his understandings of this method, and nobody should be discouraged in doing the same, as much as he feels comfortable doing. We all know that this is the Internet, and we can find treasures, garbage, altruists, jerks, and everything in between with no easy means of distinguishing among them.

F.T. Thank you.

If tape 1 is complete can all bbt’s of tape 2 be contained within a lateral and can tape 2 complete within that lateral?

 

Thanks

 

My understanding of your question suggests to me that Tape 1 would have to have ended

on the first bar of a lateral in order for all of Tape 2's BBT's to be within a Lateral. (?)

 

We can end dominance within a dominant lateral.

We cannot end anything within a non dominant lateral.

 

There are definitions for Laterals.

Dominant Laterals and Non- dominant Laterals.

Laterals we are permitted to annotate through and

those we are not permitted to annotate through.

 

If we know these definitions then it would merely be a case of applying their logic to any given situation

to determine how to annotate and/or determine what we have and/or are building.

Hi Stevecs. I am confused with your sentence. Do you mean renaming Tape as BBT and Channel as Tape? Or do you actually mean renaming BBT as Tape and Tape as Traverse? I can't follow the reply from FilterTip. :confused:

 

It seems logical:

But it is not my understanding that Tapes need to be of equal weight to build a Traverse

and that Traverses need to be of equal weight to build a Channel.

Rather:

Treat each Traverse independently of each Traverse in this respect.

 

Treat each Channel independently of each Channel in this respect.

 

Equal weight containers apply only in building a Tape.

 

Hi FilterTip. Are you still using YOUR convention here?

I can't follow the reply from FilterTip. :confused:

Perhaps think of it in this way;

 

We can't have a Tape unless we have 3 BBT's (minimum) of equal weight.

(as per the combinations of BBT 1 being Simple or Complex in a previous post)

We can't have a Traverse unless we have 3 Tapes (minimum).

 

We could only have had 3 Tapes (minimum) if each Tape (in of itself) had 3 BBT's (minimum) of equal weight, to build each Tape.

Other wise we wouldn't have 3 Tapes (minimum) to have a Traverse.

 

And in respect of how I understood Stevecs question:

each Tape of a Traverse does not need to be of equal weight to each Tape that builds a Traverse.

And each Traverse of a Channel does not need to be of equal weight to each Traverse that builds a Channel.

 

(Reference to equal weight would only be different in respect of how PA promotes a container.)

I was wondering, on the attached chart, would the last black up traverse be a case of pace acceleration (PA), and as such be a "promoted" traverse (from being initially a tape)?

As the question is out there for anyone I guess.

Then hope you don't mind me having a try at replying.

 

I would agree with you that a Tape gets promoted to a Traverse.

 

On the basis of everything starting with a BBT to build our Tape,

our first promotion would be a BBT to a Tape.

Or rather 3 non equal weight BBT's promoted to a Tape.

 

There after we would promote up one level for each succesive peak.

providing that we do not end with a decreasing peak,

which, I think would mean that we had PA but now we don't.

 

I think, also we need to be mindful that we first have an X2X.

ie: a higher peak cannot be PA if , in of itself, it is creating our first X2X.

In other words we have to have an X2X to which we can have PA.

 

From my understanding, PA in effect means we don't always see

what we would otherwise need to see for any particular container to be built.

ie: PA would mean we would not see some or our OOE's and or equal weight BBT's.

Which is ok I guess, providing we know why.

So I ask a question about PA, and I get answers about other annotation possibilities? What use does that serve?

I know it's a traverse (from spyder earlier in the thread), and I want to know why it is one, not 20 different ways to annotate a chart.

How do you know that it is a traverse if you don't know why? Just because somebody said so?

 

How many tapes/containers (dominant, non-dominant) do you need in order to create a "traverse"? Are those tapes/containers available in your "traverse" example?

Interesting. Thanks.

 

One question... How does volume "promote" a "container" from one level to a higher level? BBT to tape, tape to traverse, traverse to channel, etc. What criteria makes this happen? Change of pace from one level to the next (next two? Three?...) higher level? Or by volume being x-times higher than "y"? Time of day? etc.

The logic is that not until that is done can anything else be built.

 

ie:

Hi FT.

 

Why do you mention minimum of three BBT's in a Tape? What causes more BBT's in a Tape? Is it VE? But I do see a Tape ends right on VE bar. Could you define VE that produces an additional pair of BBT's and that does not. If VE. do you modify the slope of the RTL of the Tape? Sometimes I wonder what to do with the extension of old RTL which seems to impact future price movements. [Fill in your questions.]

 

Your clarification will help a lot for me as well as those who are still struggling. Anyone is invited to contribute. Thanks from my heart. :stick out tongue:

Hi. Anyone understand want to share? I have tried very hard to understand Lateral in this TL thread. But I don't see any clear writing on it from Spyder or others. For example, what is a dominance lateral? Is it increasing volume? I read that a Lateral ends with two closes outside the upper or lower boundaries. I also read from some that it ends with IBGS or OB too. Is a lateral a BBT or anything?

 

Again, thanks so much for your contribution. :yes sir:

Hello frenchfry.

 

My understanding is that volume promotes a container by virtue of having

successively higher peaks within that container.

 

This would need to occur post P3 of the container within which we see PA.

ie: we would not view PA until or unless we had already created an X2X

because we need an X2X to which we can relate the PA.

 

I'm not looking at this in terms of a set mathematical formula etc.

Rather, merely what we have on volume.

ie: are there successive higher peaks in 2X than in the X2X of the container.

 

Having promoted up from say a BBT to a Tape and then we get additional higher peak,

logically we may look to view this as promotion to the next fractal (tape to traverse).

 

Perhaps PA is the most context sensitive aspect of all.

 

ie: PA in the last BBT of a Tape would be in the context of both the BBT it is within and

the Tape within which the BBT (that has the PA) is.

 

Looking at the example posted by Heisenberg.

We were able to promote a BBT to a Tape to a Traverse.

 

In this context (of the Oct 2010 Channel Drill) we had built a down Traverse.

We were looking to build a non dom Traverse to a Channel P3.

 

Also from the drill, a BBT from 14.00 (14th Oct) started to build a down Tape,

and got promoted to a Tape without 3 BBT's of equal weight, due to PA at 15.00.

 

Another example of context:

if we've had 2 Tapes and we get PA in the last dominant Tape of a Traverse

then it might not be logical promoting Tape 3 (within which we see the PA)

to a Traverse, if we already have a Traverse.

 

Context is in terms of where a container is in regards to the slower container it is building.

So PA can be relevant to the container it appears within (ie a BBT) and relevant to the slower container its building (ie a Tape).

 

 

 

PA is an acceleration of pace.

Things are moving to fast for us to perhaps see what we would other wise need to see for our OOE's to complete containers.

ie: we may not see rtl's breaks, dominant and non dominant legs, 3 Tapes to build a Traverse, Laterals would not be treated in the same way etc..

 

 

PA is defined. (merely as a visual of succesive higher peaks)

What container PA promotes is by individual case.

The affect of PA (whether to use it or not) is context based.

 

There are many variables involved,

including trying to stay practical and logical.

Do you mean

 

HOW BBT (1) is constructed, determines how BBT (2) and BBT (3) also need to be constructed in order for us to know what we have is a Tape.

 

Scooty,

 

My question to FT was that can you apply the above same rule to tapes. It would be like this:

 

HOW tape (1) is constructed, determines how tape (2) and tape (3) also need to be constructed in order for us to know what we have is a traverse.

 

I also should of used traverse instead of channel as the next container up.

luckily FT saw beyond that oversight. and cleared up my question

    • lmfx just officially launched their own LMGX token, Im planning to grab a couple of hundred and maybe have the option to stake them. 
    • Date: 2nd April 2025.   Market on Edge: Tariff Announcement and Volatility Ahead!   The US economic and employment data continues to deteriorate with the job vacancies figures dropping to a 5-month low. In addition to this, the IMS Manufacturing PMI also fell below expectations. However, both the US Dollar and Gold declined simultaneously following the release of the two figures, an uncommon occurrence in the market. Traders expect a key factor to be today’s ‘liberation day’ where the US will impose tariffs on imports. USDJPY - Traders Await Tariff Confirmation! Traders looking to determine how the USDJPY will look today will find it difficult to determine until the US confirms its tariff plan. Today is the day when Trump previously stated he would finalize and announce his tariff plan. The administration has not yet released the policy, but investors expect it to be the most expansionary in a century. President Trump is due to speak at 20:00 GMT. On HFM's Calendar the speech is stated as "US Liberation Day Tariff Announcement". Currently, analysts are expecting Trump’s Tariff Plan to impose tariffs on the EU, chips and pharmaceuticals later today as well as reciprocal tariffs. Economists have a good idea of how these tariffs may take effect, but reciprocal tariffs are still unspecified. In addition to this, 25% tariffs on the car industry will start tomorrow. The tariffs on the foreign cars industry are a factor which will particularly impact Japan. Although, traders should note that this is what is expected and is not yet finalised. Last week, President Trump stated that he would implement retaliatory tariffs but allow exemptions for certain US trade partners. Treasury Secretary Mr Bessent and National Economic Council Director Mr Hassett suggested that the restrictions would primarily target 15 countries responsible for the bulk of the US trade deficit. However, yesterday, Trump contradicted these statements, asserting that additional duties would be imposed on any country that has implemented similar measures against US products. The day’s volatility will depend on which route the US administration takes. The harshness of the policy will influence both the Japanese Yen as well as the US Dollar.   USDJPY 5-Minute Chart   US Economic and Employment Data The JOLT Job Vacancies figure fell below expectations and is lower than the previous month’s figure. The JOLT Job Vacancies read 7.57 million whereas the average of the past 6 months is 7.78 million. The ISM Manufacturing Index also fell below the key level of 50.00 and was 5 points lower than what analysts were expecting. The data is negative for the US Dollar, particularly as the latest release applies more pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. However, this is unlikely to happen if the trade policy ignites higher and stickier inflation. In the Bank of Japan’s Governor's latest speech, Mr Ueda said that the tariffs are likely to trigger higher inflation. USDJPY Technical Analysis Currently, the Japanese Yen Index is the worst performing of the day while the US Dollar Index is more or less unchanged. However, this is something traders will continue to monitor as the EU session starts. In the 2-hour timeframe, the USDJPY is trading at the neutral level below the 75-bar EMA and 100-bar SMA. The RSI and MACD is also at the neutral level meaning traders should be open to price movements in either direction. On the smaller timeframes, such as the 5-minute timeframe, there is a slight bias towards a bullish outcome. However, this is only likely if the latest bearish swing does not drop below the 200-Bar SMA.     The key resistant level can be seen at 150.262 and the support level at 149.115. Breakout levels are at 149.988 and 149.674. Key Takeaway Points: Job vacancies hit a five-month low, and the ISM Manufacturing PMI missed expectations, adding pressure on the Federal Reserve regarding interest rate decisions. Traders await confirmation on Trump’s tariff policy, which is expected to impact the EU, chips, pharmaceuticals, and foreign car industries. The severity of the tariffs will influence both the JPY and the USD, with traders waiting for final policy details. The Japanese Yen Index is the worst index of the day while the US Dollar Index is unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • HLF Herbalife stock, watch for a bull flag breakout above 9.02 at https://stockconsultant.com/?HLF
    • Date: 1st April 2025.   Will Gold’s Rally Hold Strong as New Trade Tariffs Take Effect Tomorrow?   Gold continues to increase in value for a sixth consecutive day and is trading more than 17% higher in 2025. Amid fear of higher inflation, a recession and the tariffs war escalating investors continue to invest into Gold pushing demand higher. The trade policy from April 2nd onwards continues to be a key factor for the whole market. Can Gold maintain its upward trend? Trade Policy From Tomorrow Onwards Starting as soon as tomorrow, a 25% tariff will be imposed on all passenger cars imported into the United States. While this White House policy is anticipated to negatively affect European industrial performance, it will also lead to higher transportation and maintenance costs for everyday American taxpayers. The negative impact expected on both the EU and US is one of the reasons investors continue to buy Gold. Additionally, last month, President Donald Trump announced reciprocal sanctions against any trade partners that impose import restrictions on US goods. Furthermore, tariffs on products from Canada and the EU could increase even more if they attempt to coordinate a response. Overall, investors continue to worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures, particularly from China, the Eurozone, and Japan. Any retaliation is likely to escalate the trade conflict and prompt another reaction from the US. Experts at Goldman Sachs and other investment banks warn that this will lead to rising inflation and unemployment. They also caution that it could effectively halt economic growth in the US.   XAUUSD 1-Hour Chart   The Weakness In The US Dollar Another factor which is allowing the price of XAUUSD to increase in value is the US Dollar which has been unable to maintain any bullish momentum. Despite last week’s Core PCE Price Index rising to its highest level since February 2024, the US Dollar has been unable to see any significant rise in value. Due to the US Dollar and Gold's inverse correlation, the price of Gold is benefiting from the Dollar weakness. Investors worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures from China, the Eurozone, and Japan, potentially escalating the conflict. Experts at The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. believe that such actions by the US administration will drive rising inflation and unemployment while effectively halting economic growth in the country. Can Gold Maintain Momentum? When it comes to technical analysis, the price of Gold is not trading at a price where oscillators are indicating the instrument is overbought. The Relative Strength Index currently trades at 68.88, outside of the overbought area, since Gold’s price fell 0.65% during this morning’s session. However, even with this decline, the price still remains 0.40% higher than the day’s open price. In terms of fundamental analysis, there continues to be plenty of factors indicating the price could continue to rise. However, the price movement of the week will also partially depend on the employment data from the US. The US is due to release the JOLTS Job Vacancies for February this afternoon, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change tomorrow, and the NFP Change and Unemployment Rate on Friday. If all data reads higher than expectations, investors may look to sell to lock in profits at the high price. Key Takeaway Points: Gold’s Rally Continues – Up 17% in 2025 as investors seek safety from inflation, recession fears, and trade tensions. Trade War Impact – New US tariffs and potential retaliation from China, the EU, and Japan drive uncertainty, boosting Gold demand. Weak US Dollar – The Dollar’s struggle supports Gold’s rise due to their inverse correlation. Gold’s Outlook – Uptrend may continue, but US jobs data could trigger profit-taking.

    • Date: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform. NASDAQ shows strong bearish momentum, trading below key technical levels with support at $18,313 and resistance at $20,367.95. Always trade with strict risk management.
