. The first one lets you anticipate a new point 3. The second one doesn’t. Jack explained that very thoroughly in his post, link to which was posted by cnms2 in this thread.

 

Funny how the chart of Spydertrader with two VEs didn't evoke much interest.(the chart Spyder posted in this thread)

 

 

I'm still struggling with what to "anticipate" with regard to VEs. I finally came to grips with the chart that Spy refered to---I was sloppy with accel the container and the 2nd VE clearly failed in that container. But in your example the bars following the accel's. seemed to do exactly the same thing except the 2nd was higher volatility and nearly the same volume-----so a 2x4 in my general direction would be much appreciated

 

On the Spyder chart look closely at the last leg. Pay attention to how it STARTED and what happened RIGHT AFTER it started.

 

HTH.

The sequences always complete. Now take your answer and try to draw the tapes your suggestion implicates make the sequence complete.

 

You didn’t really pay attention to what had transpired in the volume pane, did you?

 

 

Gucci,

 

Thanks for commenting on the reply. I looked at the vol that created the 1st VE in question and saw the faster fractal b2b2r2b.

 

 

The idea of the drill was to show two different types of VEs. The first one lets you anticipate a new point 3. The second one doesn’t. Jack explained that very thoroughly in his post, link to which was posted by cnms2 in this thread.

Ok, I understand and see that. Can you kindly tell which chart of Spydertrader are you referring to above as well as the post by cnms earlier. I seem to have some trouble looking it up.

 

Let the market falsify your hypothesis. The sequences are always complete.

 

Spydertrader once asked how do I know I would arrive at the destination. I didn't really know how to answer him then as I was baffled.

 

Now it seems the process of learning to recognize the signs on the journey are probably the key and in the context of each fractal, the ability to see the sequence completion is needed before the next begins. Whether a new point 3 is anticipated will very much depends on the ability to see the 1-2-3 which must be corroborated by the volume gaussians. If this analysis is correct, then my M-A- will be one level up to stay on the right side of the market.

 

Thank you.

Hi gucci,

 

Congratulations on your success trading JHM.

 

Are the chart notes in red rectangle for bar 15 or 20? TIA

neither, accel tape created by 17and18, 19 closed outside that tape.

"The market tells you where the right side is. Spyder explained how to be absolutely sure about whether or not the market has changed direction. "

 

 

 

 

Where can that explaination be found? I would like to add that to my notes.

TIA

the right side is the side that has vol moves in a dom formation.

The explanation is actually much simpler than you think. :)

 

In the attached chart for instance, at what point in time can you be absolutely sure that the thing confined by deep pink lines is over?

..?

at what point did you figure out thing is "much simpler". Did you just wake up one morning and became a dif man? What made you to translate from a confuse sate to "much simpler than you think" state?

At the completion of B2B at 1610 hrs BO of pink RTL with increasing black vol ?

When the price moves above the point 1 of the thing confined by the deep pink lines, you know that fanning is impossible and that the thing confined by the pink lines is definitely over.

 

I too am curious, Gucci, about how you made the breakthrough from confusion and frustration to clarity.

 

Anyway, thanks for your efforts.

Thanks gucci for the reply and the question. If you want to know absolutely that the thing in the deep pink lines is over, you must go to the 1610 bar for the completion of the B2B and the increasing black volume of the dominant bar. However, I see that there were clues prior to that, at 1545, increasing red vol completing the sequence of the pink thing, at 1550 an OB on increasing black Vol which breaks the RTL of the pink thing and signals to anticipate change. I also wonder why the B2B doesn't end at the 1610 bar which is also the pt2, because everything after that is non-dominant to the pt 3 at 1705, confirmed by the increasing black volume at 1720.

 

Thanks again, sscott

TQ SScotts.

Following the IBGS , it looked like FTT FBO BO is being played out for the B2B to complete.

My answer: Once increasing black volume starts to appear on 16:05 Bar right after the trough of B2B, the deep pink traverse is over. The reason is that once black dominance is established, price 'breaks' the RTL of deep pink traverse.

Now, you do not really need me to confirm the answer, do you?:) Now all that remains for you is to go deeper into details and thoroughly annotate all of the sequences of that thing. After that you can start thinking about how could one know earlier that the market changed dominance. Look very closely at what transpired on each and every bar. Regardless of what I or Spyder or anyone else might say, the market has spoken.

    • Why not to simply connect you account to myfxbook which will collect all this data automatically for you? The process you described looks tedious and a bit obsolete but may work for you though.
    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.

    • What a wild year.   AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms.   Okay, but what about the $money stuff?   Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down.   Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed.   It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure.   However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves.   Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet.   How about you? How did you go?
