In the chart that I posted for every line drawn in volume pane (gaussian) there exist a corresponding pair of lines (trendlines) drawn in price pane. The relationship between those two ( namely a pair of trendlines and gausisan line) can be described using the verb "match". Where do you see the contradiction between your premise ("...the gaussian lines should ALWAYS match the trendlines...") and what is drawn?

 

There is maybe no contradiction but probably more a knowledge gap on my side. I look at your chart and I see your blue channel. I see where you probably put your points 1, 2 and 3. Then I look at the the gaussians (the thicker ones) below. There I see b2b = point one to point two. The 2b part of this b2b is not where I see point two (which of course can be wrong). Then it goes 2r which should be point 3 of that channel. But it seems that point 3 comes later. I hope this description helps.

 

Greetings.

One more lateral that meets current topic.

 

 

Differentiation

 

Context

 

Order of events

 

I would say more bars are needed before the laterals to know which direction both of these laterals will exit.

If the first bar (bar before the lateral) of both laterals are PT1s, then you know the laterals are retraces from PT2 to PT3 and the price will exit in the same direction as PT3.

But if the first bar of the laterals are after PT3 and hence the up cycle is complete, the direction of price will be depending on the order of events inside the laterals.

I could be mistaken, but I am going to assume that your "operational definition" of Point Two is the location on the price pane where the LTL touches the price bar. And personally, as far as the definitions go in general, confusing the definition with an assumption is what gets me in trouble all the time.:)

I appreciate the renewed interest in the thread (very thought provoking), thought I'd post a chart.
I don't think those are m1-m2, but a three move retrace.

I wonder why the 1540-1555 can't be considered as b2b2r2b on some super-extra-fast level?

 

Yes there can. Didn't try to do them all, ran out of line weights. For example another one starting at 12:55.

 

But I not convinced that the one added at the end of day 15:55 still needs 2 more legs. Though it certainly appears to. It may be finished and we can't see it at this level, and the last bar of the day is change. We'll know Monday.

 

There are blue markers where the gaussian sequences come together. The finishing leg of the smaller fractal is drawn in. Usually you don't "see" that finishing leg as it gets absorbed into the 2nd half of the R2R or B2B. It makes annotating cleaner when it's absorbed, but there are still some people who have confusion on how they sync, or come together. So seeing it drawn this way may be of help.

In this image is a lateral. This should be one that fits the the current topic.

 

Can the direction of this lateral exit be known with just the information shown ?

is there enough information here for . . .

 

1) Differentiation

 

2) Context

 

3) Order of events

 

 

This is for anyone who wants to answer any or all questions.

 

additionally . . . Spyder, could you just give a yes or no to each question here if possible ?

 

EDIT: All bars are finished, none are forming

Using snippets this short, much of the context and order of events is missing. It is really only useful for differentiating the object.

I agree, although is it possible to use a small amount of data to determine? This is to see what amount of information is needed to identify a lateral and understand a laterals direction. Understandably, the greater amount of information available, the better one can identify . . . but just how little the info available can still be enough to properly identify.

 

This is the first lateral I posted that conforms to Spyder's drill with a small addition of information.

 

With this additional info, do we have enough for

 

 

1) Differentiation

 

2) Context

 

3) Order of events

 

Anyone is welcome to comment.

This is the second lateral I posted that conforms to Spyder's drill.

 

Enough info to identify the lateral ?

 

Remember these are not trick questions. This is only to review just how little information is enough to identify the lateral.

Of course you looked for increasing Volume to confirm your Point Three, but what you failed to note was that the context was different here. Price found itself inside a Lateral. In such a case, the failure of the market to provide that which you anticipate is in fact, the signal for change.

 

I believe Jack used to call it, "What wasn't that?"

Again, the whole point of the exercise is for a trader to learn how to know which direction Price must head as it exits the Lateral.

 

HTH.

 

- Spydertrader

(all spyders comments in blue are highlighted to point out importance of his post )

 

In this example the lateral was properly differentiated, but the error was in the context.

 

So as we analyze each step to determine the direction of the lateral exit, the difficulty increases.

 

This is a work to know what a sufficient data set is to determine what kind of lateral has developed, and which direction it must exit the lateral.

 

 

Differntiation- easy enough, compare the developing lateral to known lateral builds.

 

Context - a little more complex with careful analysis- analyze the lateral and all the data it is forming in.

 

Order of events- Highest complexity requiring very careful analysis of the sequential order.

This is where the greatest potential for error can be. Critical to properly know where in the sequential order the lateral is forming and what must come next.

Hi Spyder and all.

 

I'm having real trouble reconciling the above in bold.

 

By "anticipate", (in this respect we are "anticipating" increasing black volume to tell us we have the 2b of b2b2r2b) are we talking about WMCN in terms of the volume sequence that must complete, yes or no ?

 

Until this question is answered as "no", let us "presume" the answer is "yes".

 

So how are we to deal with the M in WMCN when you say that we had it by virtue of it not happening.?

 

You do state

  Quote
that the context was different here. Price found itself inside a Lateral.
.

I can only deduce, from what you say, that if price finds itself within a lateral then WMCN may not apply?

Later today I will post the complete days the two laterals were chosen from.
Maybe the lack of response to your drill is due to the weekend break, and you should leave it open until people have more time to think about it, and express opinions. Most of us aren't yet able to anticipate correctly how a lateral will develop from 4, 5 or more bars, but everybody could try to annotate it and make observations about each bar's volume, price, closing, about groups of bars, trends, etc.. Not knowing what follows has the advantage of keeping us ... honest :)

Thx for your replies.

 

With respect to:

No

 

is it correct to conclude the following;

1) that by price being within a lateral we have permission to look at the YM?

 

2) and in doing so then the lateral is both the object and the context?

 

3) and if so that the YM is to be included in the information we are using, in order to know which way price will exit a lateral?

 

Thx

Thx for your replies...

 

Hmmm...

I'm not following then because what you say (in bold)

 

"Of course you looked for increasing Volume to confirm your Point Three, but what you failed to note was that the context was different here.Price found itself inside a Lateral. In such a case, the failure of the market to provide that which you anticipate is in fact, the signal for change........"

 

This does imply that it is the lateral that is the context does it not?

 

With respect to your "hint to take a look at the YM",

there obviously must be a reason to do so.

 

Is it that we are given permission to look at the YM because price (in this instance) was in a formation (a Sym at 9:45 and indeed followed by a FBP) rather than just a lateral?

 

 

This is all in respect of:

"So how are we to deal with the M in WMCN when you say that we had it by virtue of it not happening.?"

 

Without a resolution to which, I'm finding it difficult to know when I should still anticipate a part of the volume sequence to complete or whether it has done so by not completing.

 

Thx..

Hello cnms2 and NYCMB,

 

thank you far taking some of your time and your efforts! And of course thanks to TIKI but at the moment I need a break from hammering myself with laterals. :-)

 

cnms2 and NYCMB, your channels/containers seem to be identical. However with your annotation cnms2 I'm not too sure what you are trying to tell me. Are you saying those gaussians below are correct? If so here is what blocks me: In my world b2b2r mean point 1 to point two to point 3. Which means I have a container with three points. But at the moment I don't see a container which belongs to those gaussians. I see you try to show me to which "segment" the 2r part belongs but then point two is in the wrong place?

 

This is maybe where NYCMB comes into play with what he calls "Real p2". Real point 2? What's that? Is my first reaction. :-) If I draw a channel (or should I say container), then at the beginning I define where my point 1, 2 and 3 are. Everything that follows thereafter either must be an FTT... well... now I have to think... or a VE with a new point two(?). But the bar which you marked with 47 to me looks more like an FTT (and cnms2 seems to confirm it) of your dotted green container not a VE with a new point two. But at the end I could also be wrong.

    • 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.
