Nice PFC FJK... :) Put you on a nice footing to begin the day.

 

Thanks :) Yup, I nailed 8 points in the AM session (entered on bar 3). I ended early, nice way to start the weekend ;)

 

Your chart looked similar to mine, so I guess you entered long as well?

Nicely Done...

 

My take on 2/10-2009

 

Comments welcome :)

 

I track the same L1 and L2 gaussians and also see the OB as SoC. All those VE's on Thursday have me leaving my options open on L3. The market will provide me the certainty needed come Monday - (IMO, This is afforded as L2 is the sweet spot for 5M ADA.) :)

Sequences are complete. Start to look in the next bars ahead for a Signal of Change on the blue up traverse to indicate FTT + confirmation + point 1 of a new down traverse.

Price is still bouncing around in this most recent lateral which is a bit more than "a few bars later" :) Default action = hold.

 

I see some potential SOCs but am not sure about them, classifying them as unconfirmed SOCs for now.

 

We've gotten enough L-R movement that this has stretched out the blue up traverse (eg fanning is appropriate. ?)

 

We are still past the point 3 of the blue up traverse (possibly forming a point 4 right now if you count the fan).

 

With finer tools perhaps you can trade within this lateral but at beginner level we are just waiting for it to end and fanning our up traverse as required in the meantime.

I'm leaning towards thinking I have missed something on the last chart, so am revising it.

 

My new annotations place in a completed pink down traverse encompassing most of the lateral movement. So we formed the point 1 of a brand new blue traverse.

 

Less likely, is that that whole long set of laterals was itself a parallel (lateral) traverse.

 

Then less likely to either case is my original annotation was correct and we had a fanning creating the point 4, point 5. The recent up movement "feels" more like we just came from a point 1 than a point 5 is why I did this but am not sure why. (Not convinced of either case).

 

Of course it is very important as to if we just came from a point 5 versus a point 1. In the former, we are looking for SOC for a down traverse. In the latter (which I currently slightly favor) we came from a point 1 and are forming a point 2 so have no business looking for a down traverse.

If you started annotating all 3 gaussian fractals as has been recommended numerous times, perhaps you'll find the answers that you're looking for. There is only one correct way to annotate a chart. Not two, but one. The market will tell you which. Good luck :)

Your chart shows:

09:45 to 10:10 as B2B

10:10 to 10:45 as R2R

10:45 to 11:50 as B2B

 

This cannot be a valid sequence.

An R2R cannot immediately follow a B2B on the same fractal. Likewise, a B2B cannot immediately follow an R2R on the same fractal. The mandatory sequence is B2B2R2B or R2R2B2R on every fractal - no shortcuts, no incomplete sequences, on any fractal.

. . . and there lies the answer to volume leads price,always and without exception ;)

Is a fractal allowed to VE into a 'higher' fractal? i.e., a tape becoming a traverse, a traverse becoming a channel (on p2- p3 move)

My view of the day...

 

Thanks ehorn, careful in the vegas cabs dude.

 

couple questions:

1. the down tape at 1115 you started a dn traverse, my view was a lower fractal sequence as I thought up needed more to complete. 1240 was my completion. care to explain your thoughts in that area? plz

 

2. if the 1605 bar was increasing volume would that change anything for you?

:rofl: ...Perhaps I should stay within walking distance... Hope to see you out there!

The CO sequences had me looking for completion of 2B (tape). The AM sentiment pushed a CO tape VE so we anticipate a re-cycle (back down and back up the mountain - so to speak) again and I perceived this re-cycle as being satisfied @ 11:10 ET. So since I have satisfied this sequence, I am looking for a new sequence - in this case a non-dom one to take price to PT3 of the higher fractal.

 

So volume then begins to decline until we come to our first peak @ 11:45 (Red), followed by trough, then another (lower) peak (red) @ 11:55. So I labelled it as R2R... WMCN? This is how I perceived the area. HTH.

 

All time Eastern and {close-of}

 

2. if the 1605 bar was increasing volume would that change anything for you?

 

No...

My take on 5/10-2009

 

I didn't trade the somewhat 'messy' AM session. Comments welcome :)

 

Very clear chart and excellent annotations, particularly the laterals + SOCs. I'll continue to look it over in more detail, thanks! :)

(Production, sets, background extras, you name it.)   Yes, it will make movies cheaper.   But no, it won’t replace human storytelling.   Because AI doesn’t know why you care.   It can generate dialogue, sure. But can it make you feel? Can it tell the definitive story of your life?   (Well, unless you’re a robot, in which case… congratulations on reading this far.)   Confidence Is a Muscle—Here’s How to Build It   Will brought up something crucial.   Most people wait until they feel confident.   That’s a mistake.   Confidence comes after action.   Not before.   So how do you build it?   Manufacture wins—Set tiny goals. Don’t climb the whole mountain. Just put on your hiking boots. Control your input—Stop giving away your power. Just because someone in authority tells you no, doesn’t mean you stop.

    • 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.
