Here is something I noticed within myself that I had to shift my point of view on this method:

 

I was focusing on drawing 100% correct tapes. While the goal is to eventually be able to identify tapes correctly, I think the first objective should be to identify either transverses or channels depending on your style of trading.

 

You may get 1 or 2 or even 3 tapes drawn incorrectly but that can offset if you have a somewhat correct transverse.

 

Also, this method should not be substitute for proper money management.

I can say positively if you have incorrect tapes you have incorrect traverses. I will tell you it is more than likely you will not get a correct traverse if you cannot build up from the foundation. You can't have a finished home before you have the lumber delivered and framing begin.

Look at posts spanning years and years of banged heads on walls over this.

Go to the first few pages and really try to absorb them. Build the correct tapes, then build the correct traverse. There is not a short cut that exists to this method.

Just a long journey.( long painful journey of endless head banging :crap: . . . lol )

 

 

Enjoy the journey

It was great meeting everyone in Vegas!

 

I hope to start posting charts to this thread again starting this weekend. I learned quite a bit, but still got a bit more to go. :) :)

 

HUGE thanks to Spyder of course!! :)

 

ehorn we missed you! Great meeting rs5 and everyone else, keep up the great work. I'm usually only on some nights plus weekends but I'll give everyone my messenger info who wants it via PM. I think it would be helpful if we get together in person again sometime, I heard talk of a SoCal meeting, I'm up for that. Moving to Atlanta probably in a few months so if anyone's in Atlanta and wants to go through some charts on a weekend together please hit me up. I think there are strength in numbers so to speak. :)

Hi Everyone,

 

We have had some slow markets in the past few weeks. Does anything change in your approach to annotation as the market volume slows?

 

I could make a case for changing the time frame for both ES and YM and using longer timed bars. Or drop down to faster bars. Is one change better than the other; or is annotation always the same regardless of the market movement?

 

Thanks in advance for any comments.

can you post your chart to show your reasons for the need to change?

can you make the change, then show us another chart?

is it better after the change? do you see any improvements?

Greetings,

 

In an effort to contribute to the JHM community as so many others have, I have put together a summarry of the material I found most helpful since I started reading this thread. I may have made errors in the presentation or even still have errors in my understanding of some of the concepts, so view critically. In either case, your feedback is welcome. Please remember that this my humble attempt to present material I am still learning. The words are mine and not Jack's or Spyder's. Hopefully I am helping and not hurting.

 

The presentation was built in PowerPoint and exported as a Word document. If another form is desireable, let me know. I also included the original .png of the screen capture I used as an example.

 

Good learning.

Hi. I have a couple of questions on your document.

 

On page 6 at the bottom on the left, I think the 2b of the faster fractal b2b2r2b gaussian of the B2B looks strange.

 

On page 3 the sine waves of P and V, I would move the volume sine wave a quarter to the left to reflect the volume peaks happening at the price peaks or middle point of two adjacent price peaks. That is how I see JH and others positioned the waves.

 

Correct me if I am wrong.

 

Merry Christmas!

SK0,

 

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I messed up the phase of the price/volume sine waves. I fixed that. I stand by the faster fractal under B2B. Keep in mind it is just an example. I am sure there areas for improvement that remain.

 

Here is the corrected presentation. Please disregard the previous. The original .png sample drawing reamins good. (as good as I can produce)

My work for 21 Dec 2009. Lots of small tapes. I am wondering if I was guilty of fractal jumping or if the volume was just low enough to cause tapes that looked this way.

 

Feedback is always welcome.

 

Merry Christmas.

I believe it's best to stick to the method as it was introduced by spydertrader. You could obviously trade any other time frame, but the settings he introduced seem to be the optimum.

 

Check this too:

I have the ability to determine continuation or change on any fractal annotated on my chart. I can trade using course level tools only (meaning just a 5 minute ES Chart), or I can bring 'finer level' tools into the equation (YM, Str - Squ, DOM and Tic Charts). I can 'jump' fractals, or choose not to do so maintaining fractal integrity across an entire day and / or multiple days, weeks, months or years.

...

I have [...] chosen to provide all the information ever required (contained within this very thread), so an individual who chooses to work purposefully, can, under their own power, learn to do that which I 'claim' can be done.

The attached chart shows my view of the faster fractal's gaussian moves during the channel overlap of a slower fractal which puzzled me for a long time.

 

Comments?

I think what MKTr has done is shown '4 volume moves and 3 price moves' for the fractal in that example. Step up a fractal in that same section, and you have one price move and 2 volume moves in his same example. Looks perfect on all fractals.

I cannot follow what you mean here. Could you expand? Thanks.

      At 45, is it a right choice to migrate to Canada?

      By analyst75 · Posted

      It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora

      Use ChatGPT? Protect Yourself Now

      By analyst75 · Posted

      This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
