Just in case somebody thinks I know something or wants to be a "wise ass" and show that I don't know anything...

 

I'm clueless!!!

:o

 

He?? What about B2B and where is the rest?

Two replys...

 

1. Once I see them on YOUR charts I will add them, too. ;)

 

Just kidding... the correct answer is:

 

2. Once I know how to IDENTIFY them I will add them. :)

 

But there is probably one(?) of the clues!? ;)

A few bars later we have two times the same situation and are now at the third possible FBOs.

 

Any clues if this will end up the same way (or different) like the other three times? Is this situation any different?

 

P.S. While I ask, I also try to find answers on the chart myself.

I've already explained EVERYTHING about this part of the chart one needs to know.

Looking at this, how would you have known that any bar after bar 68 would/could NOT be the BO of the thick red down container? Or maybe it was?

 

The answers are somewhere within:

 

a) Order of events

b) Peaks and throughs

c) Lateral

d) Fractal nesting of containers

e) Gaussians

 

In THIS example I was "confident" that we would end up the way it is right now. However trading it with real money I would probably had been whipsawed.

 

By now maybe some of you already start to see how they would know that they know what must come next. I hope to join you soon. ;)

 

Good luck.

I do not need luck. But I guess you and vienna will need some. Enjoy your kidding.

 

Good trading to both of you. Such a waste of time...

Thank you. "Waste of time"? What exactly? Didn't you tell me it took you 4 years to "get" this....am looking at this for a few months.

Now it is clear. But would you have seen it in real time? What were the clues?

 

My problem with this is anticipating a BO/FBO based on trendlines drawn from bars 39, 40, and 41, which have a collective range of what, a point and a half?

 

In my mind, as bars 45 and 46 are heading lower, we're looking for our "point 3" -- waiting for the market to double back and verify that "yep, enough sellers are gone now, buyers are in control" so we can draw our up channel. Anticipating an FBO here is in my mind a classic example of "looking too hard at the chart".

 

Later, on bar 55-56, we have increasing volume, but there is clearly a lot of supply/resistance here judging by the increased volume and the bars closing near the middle. I would be more likely to expect a BO after an FTT here.

Good timing... I've been lurking here for a little while after a multi-year hiatus. Weird to think that people still watch those videos... Those were made a lifetime ago.

Bars 65-68 show a lot of strength. On 65, you've got a high volume bar closing in the middle, followed by sideways movement in 66/67. You get your increasing black on 68. Time to move up. Bar 69 was a little weak in the volume department -- for a breakout we would have needed to see an increase. As the buyers dry up, sellers take over again, but find support -- giving you a point 3. This movement fails to sustain itself on the next bar though, suggesting again that there's no follow through here. The bar 72 FTT is confirmed and the channel starts to roll over.

 

If you haven't exited by 74, you're exiting/reversing for sure at 76.

(using Gucci's DAX H11 chart) Which set of annotations makes more sense?

a) green, red

b) blue, purple

 

in real time you can only know a).

trade the red arrows and hold thru the yellow highlight.

FBO or not... which "signs" would tell us that we probably have an FBO?

 

What do you see? Are there any hints of?

First,bar 39 failed to reach the ltl(ftt) in the down container after pt 3(bar 38).Then bars 40 and 41 retraced back to the rtl of the down container on dbv(like clockwork).Bar 42 broke out on ibv and ve'ed the up container's ltl creating a new pt 2 of up container.Bar 43 ve'ed again but on dbv (creating another new pt 2 location).This is a jokari window so anticipate change.Sure enough it comes on bar 44 with drv.The market is moving from pt 2 to pt 3 in the up container(thicker green container).Bar 45 retraces back to the up container's rtl on drv.This is just what to anticipate in a retrace of an up container.Now your watching for the pt 3 to be created in the up container.Once price has retraced back to the up container's rtl it's time to watch closely for a fbo and then ibv.Many times the market will use an ibgs(setting up a bear trap) at the rtl to fail to break out.This is where i would be looking at the 2m ym for more detail and info.hth

Trying to trade intrabar with coarse only tools can be troublesome especially if still learning to annotate and monitor.Wait for bar close.hth

Well... could be an FBO!?

 

Bar 46 is near bar close(prv almost complete) and the market has failed to break out of the rtl.Notice that bar 46 is an ibgs.All you need is ibv to confirm pt 3.This is where i would be looking closely at the next bar's prv(especially in the first minute of the bar).Now depending on what resolution you trade you would have either held thru that non-dom(pt2 to pt3) or be looking to enter long.I would have probably anticipated the trap at the rtl and entered at the first sign of the ibgs.Unless you have monitoring down cold i would not recommend intrabar entries.hth

This looks better!? Any clues?

 

Prv shows ibv just as anticipated.I would have already drawn in my bookmark(horizontal line extending right from bar 43 swing high(pt 2).This would be the first possible resistance level and min sequence completion point.I would be watching closely each bar's close,pace levels and whether price could first get thru the bookmark and then get to the ltl of the up container.hth

Check out the prv after price breaks thru the bookmark and heads up to the ltl.This is exactly what you had been anticipating and the market is traversing the container on strong ibv after pt 3(like clockwork).Now you watch for what happens at the ltl for it tells you what to anticipate next.hth

I would have drawn the gaussians slightly different. B2B would end at bar 12:10 with nested fractal completing a faster fractal b2b2r2b. Since LTL was reached, no FTT yet so wmcn is new point 3. I would have looked at it according to Corey's standpoint that in real time, I wouldn't know before 12:10 would there be a new point 3 until LTL is reached at end of the 12:10 bar.

 

If I am wrong in not knowing there would be a new point 3 prior to end of the said bar, that would mean I miss another fundamental step in my observations.

 

Another challenge would be to anticipate there is yet another faster fractal to complete first for the 2R non-dom retrace (to get to pink pt 3) before heading to FTT. During live session, might not be easy to see and hold through the 12:25-12:30 decreasing black bars if one is not clear in the head of the sequence of events. During 12:35 red intrabar , prv might be showing high increasing red vol indicating that potential BO of RTL in real time. I guess if one is to say that there would be not be an RTL BO since no FTT can occur without a dominant black move first which didn't occur yet at that time and not until bar 12:40 increase black dominant bar and then FTT at 12:45.

Thank you to:

 

pr0crast, cnms, cory, patrader and emac

 

for sharing your point of view!

 

cnms,

 

looking at your gaussians I'm sure in realtime I would have drawn them differently. The reason is surely a gap in my knowledge and because I only see "chaos" in the volume pane.

 

When I put price into containers then volume is making peaks and throughs. However the sequence of B2B2R2B or R2R2B2R is not visible for all containers. I can for example see in one container a B2B followed by another container which shows R2R. So the art seems to be to see what is not there (because it is only visible in smaller time frames?) and/or sometimes ignore what you see and simply follow how price moves inside your current container(s) and nests?

 

Enclose you can see what I would have drawn and above what I mean by a container can have incomplete volume sequences.

emac

 

Now this is interesting! Are you saying that if price goes all the way to the LTL, you actually KNOW that wmcn is a new Pt3, followed by a new attempt at the LTL?

Aren't there channels that end with a LTL touch or even VE?

TIA

    • Herbert Wigwe's extended family and the kids he left behind are on a warpath.   The war started immediately. Herbert, the benefactor of the warring parties, was buried last year.   What is at the heart of the war is the vast wealth that Herbert left behind.   What are the issues behind the fight between the two parties, and what are the lessons we can learn from the infighting between the two parties?   It is story time.   1) In 2013, Herbert drafted his will and deposited it with a court in the US.   The will was later reviewed in 2015, 9 years before his actual death.   But he did more than a will.   2) A family office called Tengen Family Office was set up in 2017.   What the finance professionals that work for the family office Tengen Family do is simple.   To manage the wealth of the founders of Tengen: Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Herbert Wigwe.   Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede is the chairman of Access Bank and the co-founder of Access Bank.   AIG and Herbert founded Access Bank together.   Speaking of Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, Herbert made him a trustee of the will he drafted in 2013 because he trusted his friend, brother and business partner to manage and protect his interest when he is no more   And AIG has been doing that since Herbert died.   But the conflict is more than AIG and being an enforcer of Herbert will   3) Before he died, Herbert was a wealthy man, a billionaire in naira and a millionaire in dollars.   He was the largest individual shareholder of Access Bank with a 9% shareholding of the bank.   His shares in the bank are worth 125 billion.   To buttress the kind of wealth that Herbert left behind   After his death, his estate received 1.1 billion in dividends last year for the 2024 dividend from Access Bank that would have gone to Herbert if he were to be alive, but the money will now go to Tochi and her younger siblings, and this payment will continue to the estate as long as Access Bank is in existence and profitable.   But he was wealthier than this.   He owns a vast real estate portfolio scattered all over the country.   He also owns the popular Wigwe University.   He built a palatial mansion at Queen Drive, Ikoyi, a palatial house that Herbert did not get to enjoy before he died.   He also owns substantial dollar savings running into millions of dollars in his dollar domiciliary account.   He also owns a private jet as well.   For a man who was this wealthy, he was intentional about his family and their welfare in the event of his passing.   5) In the will that he wrote in 2013, which was reviewed in 2015, he was very clear with what he wanted.   In the event of his death, his wealth should be managed by his estate and the family office, and the profit from the investment should be enjoyed solely by his kids alone.   Not his father, mother, or siblings.   His kids alone and he was clear with this instruction   When the family office was set up in 2017 to manage his wealth and that of his business partner AIG   The same instructions were left by Herbert to the manager of his wealth.   6) In his lifetime, Herbert had a cousin who is a lawyer, Uche Wigwe, and because Uche enjoys his confidence and trust, he made Uche and AIG, his business partner, the trustee of his will.   7) Herbert died last year; he did not see his death coming and was not ready for it.   But he was prepared.   Herbert was a meticulous man in his lifetime and so had a will and a family office to protect his kids regardless of their age and gender.   It is irrelevant that the only remaining heir is a female.   As long as she is Herbert’s kid, acknowledged by him in his lifetime, she is entitled to enjoy the wealth made by her dad.   8. After his interment last year at Isiokpo, his extended family had a brainwave.   Since Herbert, our benefactor, is no more, we can’t allow the kids to enjoy this vast wealth alone.   They're too young to enjoy such a vast wealth, and besides, the oldest of the surviving kids is a 26-year-old, Tochi.   Tochi is a woman, and in their thinking, too young to control what his late dad left behind. The rest of Tochi‘s surviving siblings are younger than her and they are in secondary schools.   The Herbert Wigwe family is accusing Tochi of living a champagne life, which they believe she is too young to enjoy.   Tochi is living alone with the house servants in the palatial mansion on Queen Drive, Ikoyi, that her dad built, which he did not enjoy before he died.   They also accused her of flying private jets and using the private jet that the dad left behind for her local travel.   To regulate this extravagance and more, they are demanding 20% ownership of the estate (wealth) left behind by their late son.   They also demand joint custody of the kids under the supervision of their 90-year-old dad.   9) When the family could not prevail on AIG and Uche Wigwe, the two trustees that are managing Herbert's wealth, to dance to their tune, the case proceeded to the Lagos High Court last year.   Just last week, the case was thrown out by the court for lack of merit.   To the shock of many following the drama, the Wigwe family went to Appeal court to appeal this verdict by Lagos high court.   10) The biggest lesson to take home from this Wigwe soap opera is simple.   Nobody knows when death will come, but as a rich man or woman living in Nigeria, put a proper structure in place to protect your family from the greed of your family who wants to reap where they did not sow.   Write a will.   Establish a family office to manage your wealth.   Appoint trustworthy people you trust as trustees and enforcers of your will.   This is the debt and the duty you owe your kids.   And this is what Herbert has taught us and is the best exemplifier of this. – Attributed Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/   
    • The following 10 year backtest was generated by my custom trade-stacking EA dedicated to the GBPJPY forex pair. It stacks profitable trades of different lot sizes, so this MT5 EA can be used in both hedging and netting accounts. As the EA stacks winners, and not losers, the floating profit (green line) floats above the equity (blue line) which indicates low drawdown. This strategy requires starting capital of 500,000 USD for an account that allows standard, mini, and micro lots; or 50,000 USD for an account that allows standard, mini, micro, and cent (nano) lots. The full backtest report is available if you request it. I programmed this EA for a commercial trader who could not get enough capital to use it, so I'm selling licensed versions of it. The MQL5 Market has, for the most part, been banned from doing business in the U.S. so this EA is not posted there. Just shoot me a message if you're interested.
