The last hint from me for today. What must come after point three? Dominance or non dominance?

 

Dominance, but both cases seem to have dominance after serving as a Pt3 of some kind? I'm not sure what to identify further because I'm not sure what's being discerned as being important vs not very important for those two locations.

 

Is the distinction that "peak volume" can only occur after Pt3 and only one of the two bars you pointed out is a Pt3? One is a FTT and one is a Pt3?

Look closely at the closes of the bars after the first bar in question. Where do you see dominance there? The second bar in question is an IBGS. What does IBGS on increasing volume signifies? Start looking at a chart. Both of the bars are point threes. The second one is a point three of an accelerated traverse. Why did the market told me to annotate one?

The bar immediately after the 1st one you pointed to is dominant up and its close is above its open and has incr vol.

 

The bar immediately after the 2nd one you pointed to starts out nondom but due to the existing fast RTL it doesn't make its own container, and it closes above its open on incr vol. It changed modes from nondom to dom as it unfolded.

 

Your medium green container accelerates due to a VE ITZ on incr vol, which means rebuild it, but the rebuilt thing doesn't FTT at the tape nor traverse fractal. Looks like it could though from the channel perspective.

The bar is black the volume is increasing. How should the black volume move price in an up trend were it dominant? Up or laterally? What happens with the price on the bar after the first bar in question. Look at the following bars. Can't you SEE increasing black volume struggling to push the price higher. Look at the volume levels and corresponding price changes.

 

HTH.

 

BTW by the signal of change you should take into account a gap here. Besides, the bar is a spike bar.

Yep I can see it, but in each case the close is still higher than its open. It gave a hint that price may stall as incr dom vol wasn't pushing up much as we might expect it would. But, the move continued with a HH and close above the open for each bar until eventually we got a completed cycle up w/out a FTT at the first two fractal speeds. Then a more noticeable move down occurred. It happens a lot, and in other cases we may have gotten another dom black vol surge and moved even higher instead.

So what? We are moving up. BUT dominantly?

 

As far as other cases are concerned show me the fully and thoroughly annotated snippet and we will discuss it.

So where is the problem? I do not understand... In this case you would still be holding and banking in profits till change arrives... From what I can see, I guess you are in a prediction trap.

I didn't reference a problem. You were indicating price having difficulty moving up on incr vol, although it still did continue. Incr vol with a close within the prior bar's range is somewhat of a signal for change... yet, that dynamic failed 2 or 3 times & new highs were made subsequently. I'm not sure what you're getting at or explaining/highlighting as far as what's notable in the areas you've pointed out. I'm game for discussing it though & am glad someone posted a chart here & prompted some thought.

 

Were you pointing out that we had a hint of a SOC but that we still made higher highs & closed above each bar's open? If so, I concur. If not, I'm not sure what to see specifically.

 

Yes, if we're in a dom up thing, then the price did move "dominantly" if the bars translated (up, which they did) and closed higher than their opens. We did have a SOC via incr vol with a close within the previous bar's range... but, that did not get traction & it didn't reverse.

Hey Gucci, are you pointing out that despite some challenge in moving up, we were still intact to hold a trade until the 2nd instance of peak volume which signals a potential ending and signal for change?

Yes. Please reiterate the sequences here. How do they sound? How do they look like with respect to the gaussians? The complete set. Just do it.

We do not have "2nd instance of peak volume" as you put it. But we do have increasing volume which fails to propell price higher in your so to be called " first instance". Think about it. Good observation by the way. You are on your way.

Thanks. Regarding that first area... the first 4 black bars with the 1st one being pointed to by your arrow, when you say 'failing to propel the price higher on incr vol', you can't mean a bar closing below the bar prior to it, because they all close higher than the previous bar. And the bars all make a higher high. But two of the closes were only about a tick or so above its open and they also close within the range of the previous bar.

 

The 2nd bar you're pointing to is an IBGS long and fails to propel the price higher than the previous bar, although the ibgs aspect has changed its mode to up/dom.

 

Neither series of bars FTT the green container. But we do get an ITZ in the 2nd series of bars & can rebuild the container from your first arrow. I'm not sure what we're getting at though... I'm probably missing the point you're making. Can you keep clueing? :)

Faster fractal traverse down to 15:15. I did not annotate all the sub-fractals but you can clearly see them.

 

You might rethink the "faster" part.

Gucci, based on your comment, does this mean you see a set of 3 simple 123ftt containers as a Traverse, as long as a volume cycle is present?

No. You should see three so called free tapes. Think in terms of inside vs outside. Use the logic here. Why do we have laterals? What the f.. does it mean that we have a lateral? WHAT happens INSIDE of a lateral????????? WHY did Spyder tell you to STOP annotate the tapes INSIDE of a lateral???????????????????:

Thanks for the dialog, this thread needs more of it :) I think you're assuming confusion that might not exist. I'm just trying to discern what YOUR usage of the method entails. Based on your yelling (haha), you're using 3 123ftt contains as a Tape, correct? That's why I asked, I thought you responded to xxioxx where that meant Traverse to you. But I wasn't sure if that's what you meant.

 

But your 1st Tape down looks like only 1 container? I'm talking about your most recent chart. What is a "free tape"?

 

Lats are sideways movement, consolidation, often take is to Pt3 of something.

I was thinking the same thing. I was trying to find out what your definition of a tape or traverse is, as far as containers go, and you start exclaiming about laterals.

 

There are varying interpretations floating around for how to differentiate the components of such fractals. What is a tape, to you?

    • A custom Better Daily Range indicator for MT5 is now available on the Metaquotes website and directly in the MT5 platform. https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/103800 The Better Daily Range indicator shows the previous trading day's price range on the current day's chart. Many traders mark out the previous day's high, low, and the current day's open before trading. This is not an average true range indicator (ATR). This is not an average daily range indicator (ADR). This is a daily range indicator (DR). This indicator shows horizontal maximum and minimum range lines. If your broker-dealer's MT5 platform shows Sunday bars, Sunday bars are not included as previous days. In other words, Monday uses Friday's price data (skips Sunday). This indicator also shows two 25% (of range) breakout lines: one that is 25% higher than the maximum range line, and one that is 25% lower than minimum range line. A middle range line is also shown. Immediately after the daily close of your broker-dealer, all five range lines update to the new daily values.   Many traders only trade during times of high volume/liquidity. The Better Daily Range indicator also shows five adjustable time separator lines: A local market open time line (a vertical line), A local market middle time A line (a vertical line), A local market middle time B (a vertical line), A local market middle time C (a vertical line), A local market close time (a vertical line), and A local market open price (a horizontal line). The location of the local market open price depends on your input local market open time. In other words, you input your desired market open time according to your local machine/device time and the indicator automatically shows all five session lines. When your incoming price bars reach your input local market open time line, the indicator automatically shows the price to appear at your input local market open time. If your broker-dealer's MT5 platform shows Sunday bars, the time separator lines do not show on a Sunday. Immediately after midnight local machine/device time, the five session time lines (vertical lines) are projected forward into the current day (into the future hours) and the local open price line is erased. The local open price line reappears when the price bars on the chart reach your input local open time (your local machine/device time).   The indicator has the following inputs (settings):   Chart symbol of source chart [defaults to: EURUSD] - Allows you to show data from another chart symbol other than the current chart symbol. Handy for showing standard timeframe data on an MT5 Custom Chart. Local trading session start hour [defaults to: 09] - Set your desired start hour for trading according to the time displayed on your local machine/device operating system (all times below are your local machine/device operating system times). The default setting, 09, means 9:00am. Local trading session start minute [defaults to: 30] - Set your desired start minute. The default setting, 30, means 30 minutes. Both the default hour and the default minute together mean 9:30am. Local trading session hour A [defaults to: 11] - Set your desired middle hour A for stopping trading when volume tends to decrease during the first half of lunch time. The default setting, 11, means 11:00am. Local trading session minute A [defaults to: 00] - Set your desired middle minute A. Both the default hour and the default minute together mean 11:00am. Local trading session hour B [defaults to: 12] - Set your desired middle hour B for the second half of lunch time. The default setting, 12, means 12:00pm (noon). Local trading session minute B [defaults to: 30] - Set your desired middle minute B. Both the default hour and the default minute together mean 12:30pm. Local trading session hour C [defaults to: 14] - Set your desired middle hour C for resuming trading when volume tends to increase. The default, 14, means 2:00pm. Local trading session minute C [defaults to: 00] - Set your desired middle minute C. Both the default hour and the default minute together mean 2:00pm. Local trading session end hour [defaults to: 16] - Set your desired end hour for stopping trading. The default setting, 16, means 4:00pm. Local trading session end minute [defaults to: 00] - Set your desired end minute for stopping trading. Both the default hour and the default minute together mean 4:00pm. High plus 25% line color [defaults to: Red]. High plus 25% line style [defaults to: Soid]. High plus 25% line width [defaults to 4]. High line color [defaults to: IndianRed]. High line style [defaults to: Solid]. High line width [defaults to: 4]. Middle line color [defaults to: Magenta]. Middle line style [defaults to: Dashed]. Middle line width [defaults to: 1].

    • A custom Logarithmic Moving Average indicator for MT5 is now available for MT5 on the Metaquotes website and directly in the MT5 platform. https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/99439 The Logarithmic Moving Average indicator is a moving average that inverts the formula of an exponential moving average. Many traders are known to use logarithmic charts to analyze the lengths of price swings. The indicator in this post can be used to analyze the logarithmic value of price on a standard time scaled chart. The trader can set the following input parameters: MAPeriod [defaults to: 9] - Set to a higher number for more smoothing of price, or a lower number for faster reversal of the logarithmic moving average line study. MAShift [defaults to: 3] - Set to a higher number to reduce the amount of price crossovers, or a lower for more frequent price crossovers. Indicator line (indicator buffer) can be called with iCustom in Expert Advisors created by Expert Advisor builder software or custom coded Expert Advisors: No empty values; and No repainting.
    • A custom Semi-Log Scale Oscillator indicator is now available for MT5 on Metaquotes website and directly in the MT5 platform. https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/114705 This indicator is an anchored semi-logarithmic scale oscillator. A logarithmic scale is widely used by professional data scientists to more accurately map information collected throughout a timeframe, in the same way that MT5 maps out price data. In fact, the underlying logic of this indicator was freely obtained from an overseas biotech scientist. A log-log chart displays logarithmic values on both the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) axes, which generally produces a straight line that points up, down, or remains flat. A straight line is not very useful for trading markets because such a straight line is so smoothed that actual price values that appear over time are very far away from the line study. In contrast, a semi-log chart is only logged on one axis--generally, the y axis. Such a semi-log chart is well suited for trading markets because the time (x) axis is preserved in its original form while at the same time, providing a graduated y scale where the distance between price increments progressively increases as price rises higher (and decreases as price falls lower). This allows us to establish a zero level for a low price, clearly view trends on straighter angles, and clearly observe amplified price spikes at high prices. Accordingly, this indicator employs a semi-log scale on the y axis only. This indicator is anchored because it allows you to specify a start time for calculation of price bars. The settings are as follows: Year.Month.Day Hour:Minute - defaults to 1970.01.01 00:01 - if left on default setting, the indicator automatically detects the earliest price bar in chart history--even where the year 1970 is not in history. Notes appear in the indicator settings window. Size of first pip step to log - defaults to 135 - this default is suitable for higher timeframes such a MN1 (monthly), while 5 is suitable for lower timeframes such as M1 (minute). Ultimately, optimal settings will depend on the timeframe that you attach the indicator to, the level of price volatility within that timeframe, and start time that you choose. Remember... The semi-log formula calculates from low to high, so your start time must always be a major swing low. Again, notes appear in the indicator settings window. The standard (built-in) MT5 indicators that can be applied to the "Previous indicator's data" can be applied to this indicator. Indicator lines (indicator buffers) can be called with iCustom in Expert Advisors created by Expert Advisor builder software or custom coded Expert Advisors. The log scale Open, High, Low, and Close prices are buffers: No empty values; and No repainting.
    • A custom Gann Candles indicator is now available for MT5 on the Metaquotes website and directly in the MT5 platform. https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/126398 This Gann Candles indicator incorporates a series of W.D. Gann's strategies into a single trading indicator. Gann was a legendary trader who lived from 1878 to 1955. He started out as a cotton farmer and started trading at age 24 in 1902. His strategies included geometry, astronomy, astrology, times cycles, and ancient math. Although Gann wrote several books, none of them contain all of his strategies so it takes years of studying to learn them. He was also a devout scholar of the Bible and the ancient Greek and Egyptian cultures, and he was a 33rd degree Freemason of the Scottish Rite. In an effort to simplify what I believe are the best of Gann's strategies, I reduced them into one indicator that simply colors your preexisting price bars when those strategies are in-sync versus out-of-sync. This greatly reduces potential chart clutter. Also, I reduced the number of input settings down to only two: FastFilter, and SlowFilter Both FastFilter and SlowFilter must be set to 5 or more, as noted in the Inputs tab upon attaching the indicator to your chart. Gann Candles works on regular time-based charts (M5, M15, M20, etc.) and custom charts (Renko, range bars, etc.). The indicator does not repaint. When using the default settings, blue candles form bullish price patterns, gray candles form flat (sideways) price patterns, and white candles form bearish price patterns. The simplest way to trade Gann Candles is to buy at the close of a blue candle and exit at the close of a gray candle, and then sell at the close of a white candle and exit at the close of a gray candle.
    • A custom Anchored VWAP with Standard Deviation Bands indicator for MT5 is now available on the Metaquotes website and directly through the MT5 platform. https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/99389 The volume weighted average price indicator is a line study indicator that shows in the main chart window of MT5. The indicator monitors the typical price and then trading volume used to automatically push the indicator line toward heavily traded prices. These prices are where the most contracts (or lots) have been traded. Then those weighted prices are averaged over a look back period, and the indicator shows the line study at those pushed prices. The indicator in this post allows the trader to set the daily start time of that look back period. This indicator automatically shows 5 daily look back periods: the currently forming period, and the 4 previous days based on that same start time. For this reason, this indicator is intended for intraday trading only. The indicator automatically shows vertical daily start time separator lines for those days as well. Both typical prices and volumes are accumulated throughout the day, and processed throughout the day. Important update: v102 of this indicator allows you to anchor the start of the VWAP and bands to the most recent major high or low, even when that high or low appears in your chart several days ago. This is how institutional traders and liquidity providers often trade markets with the VWAP. This indicator also shows 6 standard deviation bands, similarly to the way that a Bollinger Bands indicator shows such bands. The trader is able to set 3 individual standard deviation multiplier values above the volume weighted average price line study, and 3 individual standard deviation multiplier values below the volume weighted average price line study. Higher multiplier values will generate rapidly expanding standard deviation bands because again, the indicator is cumulative. The following indicator parameters can be changed by the trader in the indicator Inputs tab: Volume Type [defaults to: Real volume] - Set to Tick volume for over-the-counter markets such as most forex markets. Real volume is an additional setting for centralized markets such as the United States Chicago Mercantile Exchange. VWAP Start Hour [defaults to: 07] - Set according to broker's or broker-dealer's MT5 server time in 24 hour format. For example, in the New York, United States time zone, 07 is approximately the London, United Kingdom business open hour. VWAP Start Minute [defaults to: 00] - Set according to broker's or broker-dealer's MT5 server time in 24 hour format. For example, 00 is on the hour with no delay of minutes within that hour. StdDev Multiplier 1 [defaults to: 1.618] - Set desired standard deviation distance between the volume weighted average price line study and its nearest upper and lower bands. For example, 1.618 is a basic Fibonacci ratio. Some traders prefer 1.000 or 1.250 here. StdDev Multiplier 2 [defaults to: 3.236] - Set desired standard deviation distance between the volume weighted average price line study and its middle upper and lower bands. For example, 3.236 is 1.618 (above) + 1.618. Some traders prefer 2.000 or 1.500 here. StdDev Multiplier 3 [defaults to: 4.854] - Set desired standard deviation distance between the volume weighted average price line study and its furthest upper and lower bands. For example, 4.854 is 1.618 (above) + 3.236 (above). Some traders prefer 3.000 or 2.000 here. VWAP Color [defaults to: Aqua] - Set desired VWAP line study color. This color automatically sets the color of the start time separators as well. SD1 Color [defaults to: White] - Set desired color of nearest upper and lower standard deviation lines. SD2 Color [defaults to: White] - Set desired color of middle upper and lower standard deviation lines. SD3 Color [defaults to: White] - Set desired color of furthest upper and lower standard deviation lines. Just to clarify, popular standard deviation bands settings are: 1.618, 3.236, and 4.854; or 1.000, 2.000, and 3.000; or 1.250, 1.500, and 2.000. Examples of usage *: In a ranging (sideways) market, enter a trade at the extremes of the standard deviation bands (SD3) and exit when price returns to the VWAP line study. Trade between SD1Pos and SD1 Neg, alternately buying and selling from one standard deviation line to the other. In a trending (rising or falling) market, enter a buy when a price bar opens above the VWAP line study, and exit at the nearest standard deviation band above (SD1Pos). Optionally, repeat the same trade but substitute SD1Pos for the VWAP, and SD2Pos for SD1. Reverse for sell; or Trade all lines (VWAP, SD1Pos, SD2Pos, and SD3Pos) in the same way. Again, reverse for sell. Indicator lines (indicator buffers) can be called with iCustom in Expert Advisors created by Expert Advisor builder software or custom coded Expert Advisors: No empty values; and No repainting.
