Torrents didn't work out. Will have to get something else going.

too risky to go to a site like that. The name alone suggests some unsavory business going on.

What is unsavory is the other torrent sites that loop you through their advertisers, lie and tell you they have the files and you can download them at high speed for a fee, or if you register. These sites don't have the files on their servers, they don't host them. After I posted the torrents they were already claiming to have the files, which had not even been uploaded to anyone - except to one of my own computers for testing and seeding. The evil bastids :angry:

 

By putting the links at PirateBay you get the link to the files hosted on my computer, no BS runaround or transferring you to another site, and at a trusted virus and spyware fee source - me!

 

Without a good virus program (shameless plug for Avast and Malawarebytes, both free) any site can give you a virus and, some of the advertisements on the sites can infect you without ever clicking on them. Though unsavory types use these sites and give them a bad name, they and other sites like them are the reason P2P software and streaming has come so far, and you are able to DL .99 songs and stream Pay Per View Sports at a reasonable price online. I've gotten more viruses from standard program updates from mainstream companies than from Torrents. - End Rant

 

BTW, have a new link for the files at a hosting site. They work. :thumbs up: PM if you're interested.

Thanks, Gucci for the chart. I totally forgot that point 2 must be outside the previous RTL and hence my earlier R2R was invalidated with the traverse ending 1350.

 

Is that ("I totally forgot that point 2 must be outside the previous RTL") always the case?

 

Thanks!

Thanks!

If the volume's through of the x2x move (pt1 to pt2) happens where the price crosses the previous container's rtl, then the pt2 of the new container must be outside the previous rtl.

Thanks cnms2, for the clarification.

 

Vienna, if I may add, I had mistaken the blue container sequence completion at 13:25 in the chart referred to in that post . Gucci's precise annotation showed the sequence completion at 13:50. I had also failed to see the VE after the point 3 of the blue container which should have alerted me that the sequence is yet uncompleted. After the final sequence completion, a new R2R would have to have the pt 2 outside the previous blue container.

 

TQ for the question.

My view of the day. The drill follows sequence completion, then SOC and repeat. It appears to me that the medium black traverse ended at bar 42 in my chart and I annotated a R2R based on volume pane gaussians as the previous container RTL had been broken. May I ask if this is correct interpretation since it happened on a lateral movement ?

 

The other tough period was the afternoon's lateral formations and movements. I tried to use the volume to determine the sequence as much as possible and hopefully am moving in the right direction.

My work for the 13-17 Dec 2010. 5ES.

 

My differentiation goals (accurate, thurough, consistent):

Properly annotate and integrate the 10 cases

When visible, annotate fast fractal and sub gaussians

Properly nest fractals

Using the fast fractal gaussian become more accurate regading sequence completion

Correctly "deal with" VEs

Correlate dominant volume peaks fractal to fractal to "see" macro PV relationship

 

I am possitive there are errors but I feel I have made progress. Any feedback or discussion is welcome.

 

Merry Christmas.

I keep a copy pasted to one of my monitors of CP4(http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/attachments/34/12221d1247803502-price-volume-relationship-clean_page_4.jpg).Notice the post FTT consideration comment "Region for pt2 of forming channel:1.after FTT and 2.To the right of the RTL".It's amazing how much is contained in this one little document.I believe that a lot could be obtained by further discussion about CP4(in particular post FTT considerations in Regions for pt3 including the Region for revised pt 3 of old channel).hth

First let me thank you for your post on price volume relationship. To put my story short, for the past 11 years I have been developing and fine tuning my own technical indicator, closely related to volume. I had gone through lot of info about indicators and stock market in general and consider myself an amateur trader. Ultimately when my indicator was ready, I found to my utter dismay that it was showing seemingly random patterns.

Recently when I was about to give up my efforts, I chanced upon your statement “If Volume is increasing, then the Price Trend is continuing” hit me as simplistic but then later I realized the truth of the saying “All great truths have a simplicity to them.” I made some changes to my tool (written in c++ and c#) and tried to decipher the indicator based on your rule. To my amazement I found that my indicator was actually predicting the market! Your rule is to free market dynamics what Newton’s law’s of motion is to classical physics. That rule hit me out of the darkness like lightning.

I don’t know much about fractals but if you gave the rule some though you would understand that it defines a fundamental behavior of any free market, driven by supply and demand. If you find a scenario in which the rule is not working I would be bold enough to say that there is something fundamentally flawed within the system. During my detailed analysis of the indicator using your rule I discovered a corollary to your rule. “If the volume is decreasing the trend may reverse.”

Once again thanking you for the tremendous insight your post provided me. It would be a great help if you could post more about fractal basics and maybe give a blueprint on how to make a technical indicator based on fractals.

 

Martin.

Hi Dear All,

 

I like to share with all of you an unique Christmas gift which I receive dfrom TL member SK0---

 

=================================================================================================================================

When it comes for a Tape to breakout RTL with increasing volume to form Pt 2 of a new Traverse, things can get complicated if one tape could not do the job. That is where a non-dom Tape followed by another dom Tape are needed to do the job of breaking out RTL with increasing volume to represent the first price movement of new Traverse which Spyder called it Fast Fractal Traverse. So, you can expect third price movement would be in Fast Fractal Traverse pattern too. As demonstrated in Gucci's charts, we could anticipate fanning after a FTT if we know the first price movement is a FF Traverse, not Tape.

Followup questions on 10/13:

 

1. Why the accelerated darker pink traverse? The pt 3 of the traverse must be there, or there aren't legitimate points 2 and 3 on the subsequent non-dom traverse.

 

2. Is the green up channel RTL correct? I have it starting on 10/7 @ 12:40. If not, would someone mind telling me where for the purposes of differentiating the first traverse from the second two?

 

Thanks in advance for any commentary.

Moosie, can you post 2 previous days as well? Without annotations. Maybe we can work something out.

Re 1: The accelerated stuff has all of the ingredients of a traverse. Look at the following chart

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2288546

 

and pay attention to how the market finished building the second pink traverse. The nondom tape of this traverse is built on increasing vol creating a faster fractal stuff. This pink creature wouldn't have been a traverse anymore had the market created a complete traverse in the nondom direction instead of a faster fractal stuff.

 

Re2: Can not tell much about your green channel, but looks good to me. Your chart 10/13 lacks the annotations of the up traverses in the green channel. Those would make things clearer, especially with respect to the faster fractal traverses built in the red channel.

    • Date: 8th April 2025.   Markets Rebound Cautiously as US-China Tariff Tensions Deepen     Global markets staged a tentative recovery on Tuesday following a wave of volatility sparked by escalating trade tensions between the United States and China. The Asia-Pacific region showed signs of stability after a chaotic start to the week—though some pockets remained under pressure. Taiwan’s Taiex dropped 4.4%, dragged lower by losses in tech heavyweight TSMC. The world’s largest chipmaker fell another 4% on Tuesday and has now slumped 13.5% since April 2, when US President Donald Trump first unveiled what he called ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs.   However, broader sentiment across the region turned more positive, with several markets rebounding sharply after Monday’s dramatic sell-offs. Japan’s Nikkei 225 surged over 6% in early trading, rebounding from an 18-month low. South Korea’s Kospi rose marginally, and Australia’s ASX 200 gained 1.9%, driven by strength in mining stocks. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rose 1.6%, though still far from recovering from Monday’s 13.2% crash—its worst day since the 1997 Asian financial crisis. China’s Shanghai Composite added 0.9%.   In Europe, DAX and FTSE 100 are up more than 1% in opening trade. EU Commission President von der Leyen repeated yesterday that the EU had offered reciprocal zero tariffs on manufactured goods previously and continues to stand by that offer. Others are also trying again to talk to Trump to get some sort of agreement that limits the impact.   Much of the rally appeared to be driven by dip-buying, as well as hopes that the intensifying trade war could still be defused through negotiations.   China Strikes Back: ‘We Will Fight to the End’   Tensions reached a boiling point after Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% tariff on all Chinese imports unless Beijing rolled back its retaliatory measures by April 8. ‘If China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long-term trading abuses by tomorrow... the United States will impose additional tariffs on China of 50%,’ Trump declared on social media.   If implemented, the new tariffs would bring total US duties on Chinese goods to a staggering 124%, factoring in the existing 20%, the 34% recently announced, and the proposed 50%.   In response, China’s Ministry of Commerce issued a stern warning, stating: ‘The US threat to escalate tariffs is a mistake on top of a mistake... If the US insists on its own way, China will fight to the end.’ The ministry also called for equal and respectful dialogue, though signs of compromise on either side remain scarce.   Beijing acted quickly to contain a market fallout. State funds intervened to support equities, and the People’s Bank of China set the yuan fixing at its weakest level since September 2023 to boost export competitiveness. Additionally, five-year interest rate swaps in China fell to their lowest levels since 2020, indicating potential for further monetary easing.   Trump Talks Tough on EU Too   Trump’s hardline approach extended beyond China. Speaking at a press conference, he rejected the European Union’s offer to eliminate tariffs on cars and industrial goods, accusing the bloc of ‘being very bad to us.’ He insisted that Europe would need to source its energy from the US, claiming the US could ‘knock off $350 billion in one week.’   The EU, meanwhile, backed away from a proposed 50% retaliatory tariff on American whiskey, opting instead for 25% duties on selected US goods in response to Trump’s steel and aluminium tariffs.     Volatile Wall Street Adds to the Drama   Wall Street experienced wild swings on Monday as investors processed the rapidly evolving trade conflict. The S&P 500 briefly fell 4.7% before rebounding 3.4%, nearly erasing its losses in what could have been its biggest one-day jump in years—if it had held. The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank by as much as 1,700 points early in the day but later climbed nearly 900 points before closing 349 points lower, down 0.9%. The Nasdaq ended up 0.1%.   The brief rally was fueled by a false rumour that Trump was considering a 90-day pause on tariffs—rumours that the White House quickly labelled ‘fake news.’ The market's sharp reaction underscored how desperate investors are for any sign that tensions might ease.   Oil Markets in Focus: Goldman Sachs Revises Forecasts   Crude prices also reflected the uncertainty, with US crude briefly dipping below $60 per barrel for the first time since 2021. As of early Tuesday, Brent crude was trading at $64.72, while WTI hovered around $61.26.   Goldman Sachs, in a note dated April 7, lowered its average price forecasts for Brent and WTI through 2025 and 2026, citing mounting recession risks and the potential for higher-than-expected supply from OPEC+.       Under a base-case scenario where the US avoids a recession and tariffs are reduced significantly before the April 9 implementation date, Goldman sees Brent at $62 per barrel and WTI at $58 by December 2025. These figures fall further to $55 and $51, respectively, by the end of 2026. This outlook also assumes moderate output increases from eight OPEC+ countries, with incremental boosts of 130,000–140,000 barrels per day in June and July.   However, should the US slip into a typical recession and OPEC production aligns with the bank’s baseline assumptions, Brent could retreat to $58 by the end of this year and to $50 by December 2026.   In a more bearish scenario involving a global GDP slowdown and no change to OPEC+ output levels, Brent prices might fall to $54 by year-end and $45 by late 2026. The most extreme projection—based on a simultaneous economic downturn and a full reversal of OPEC+ production cuts—would see Brent plunge to below $40 per barrel by the end of 2026.   Goldman noted that oil prices could outperform forecasts significantly if there was a dramatic shift in tariff policy and a surprise in global demand recovery.   Cautious Optimism, But Warnings Persist   With both Washington and Beijing showing no signs of backing down, markets are likely to remain volatile in the days ahead. Investors now turn their attention to upcoming trade meetings and policy decisions, hoping for clarity in what has become one of the most unpredictable trading environments in recent years.   Always trade with strict risk management.
