Not sure if this is what you're asking (?). This is what I meant: the left hand light blue sub-container is the pt1 to pt2 move of the green container, and it's made of three sub-sub-containers (blue, magenta, blue).

Hey Tiki,

Here is what I think of the first picture.[ATTACH]18654[/ATTACH]

 

Trader1109, do you mind telling a little bit more about what your thought process is behind your dashed gaussian lines? There are two black volume bars but with those you are able to draw four dashed gaussian lines. How did you do this?

 

Thanks.

Hi frenchfry, This may be wrong but I think if we see a ve then we must have had a point 3 prior to that and if we had a point 3 then we must have had a point 2 and so on. All of it happened in 2 bars. The dashed blue lines show what I think will happen next as long as price stays above the first bar of the blue dashed presumed channel. I don't know for certain which way price will exit the lateral.

If anyone can use it blank ES 5 minute chart with No Gap for today

 

I have just replaced the chart that was originally attached here in the past half hour.. This chart attached is fine. Apologize for inconvenience.

Most of this done real time, but some cleanup after the close.

 

I'm including 1-2-3 annotations to help me keep my place.

 

Nice plan to annotate the Points 1, 2 and 3.

 

See attached.

Spyder, when trading with complete certainty does one still make use of wash trades?

 

Sure.

 

Errors happen from time to time - even to the most experienced in any field.

 

For me, a wash trade results out of two possible scenarios. The first scenario involves an error created by myself, while the second develops as a result of market geometry.

 

In the first example, I (for any number of reasons) experience a momentary break in concentration (a family member steps into my office, my phone rings in the middle of analysis, someone sends me an IM [email, text or posts a question to a web site] or I simply have grown impatient with a long trending day). As a result of my own lack of focus, I annotate a chart incorrectly using an improper line weight. A bar or two later, my brain begins to think, "Hey Wait a minute here. This [the market] isn't acting like it should. Something must be wrong." Such thoughts cause me to 're-check' my chart anotations in very rapid fashion. Normally, I locate my error in plenty of time to correct (witha reversal trade) my annotation error placing me back on the right side of the market (for my trading fractal) - even profiting a little bit extra than I had anticipated. Sometimes, too much time has passed (or the market has moved too swiftly) for me to change direction without experiencing a small loss (1 to 3 tics). Although not a regular occurance, errors do happen (I still make them now and then), but most of the time, one's 'experience' provides the warning bells necessary to correct the incorrect annotation without taking a big hit.

 

The second area where an experienced individual would see a wash trade (or even a small loss) results out of how a particular trend might develop. See attached. Should a trader find themselves in a High Pace environment with a strong trend (in either direction), noticing a completion of The Order of Events, a trader might choose to reverse in an effort to remain on their trading fractal throughout the day. When this Non-Dominant Trend coincides with a 'Drop Off' in Pace (often seen during the middle of a market day), the Non-dominant trend can develop with very little (sometimes zero) slope. If the trader executed a Reversal Trade Short at an IBGS Type Bar, and after completing The Order of Events required of the Non-Dominant Trend one executed a Reversal trade Long at another IBGS Type Bar, the Geometry of the market itself (where the respective bars closed relative to one another) might create a wash trade (or sometimes, a small (1 to 3 tic) loss. When I experience such a market environment, I don't even concern myself with it. After all, had I chosen to use a Medium Tool (the YM) during my trading day, I would have entered the market (on both ends of the Non-Dominant Trend) prior to any 'overlap' in Price. Since the YM isn't part of our trading arsenal (at this time), I shrug the whole deal off.

 

Considering the trader in question (you, me - anybody) would have already banked that nice run upwards (before attempting to trade the Non-Dominant Trend) what ya' gonna' do? Cry over a three tic loss after a 15 point profit? I don't think so. :haha:

 

Knowing one always has the ability to wash out of any trade allows the trader to not focus on things beyond his / her control. We can no more control the slope of the trend than we can the weather. And while errors do happen (from time to time) - even to those of us with the most experience with The Price / Volume relationship (including myself), developing the ability to quickly recognize and repair improper, incorrect or erroneous annotations should be your goal - vs striving for 100% error free annotation.

 

HTH.

Thank you for this useful post.

 

In the attached, if one were to arrive at the mistaken conclusion that the last OB in the attached (decr red volume, 1515 eob, 1/28/10) was a completion of sequence and signal for change due to erroneous annotations --- would there be any possible way (perhaps using finer tools) to wash out with minimum damage? And if there's a way, any guidance on the subject would be greatly appreciated. The questions is obviously about "specific" context in the attached. Thank you.

Thank-you for providing a perfect example.

 

The following answer assumes Action only at Bar close. As such, one has no need to check the YM, STR-SQU, DOm or Tic Charts. However, at minimum one should see a warning flag on the STR-SQU (if not a completed cycle down on the YM). Since we don't have those tools at our disposal, we will simply look at the ES chart (Coarse Level Tool only) to locate our answer.

 

If one has determined the OB represented a signal for change, then one knows what must come next with respect to the order of events. On the very next bar, the market provided that which you did not anticipate (a pennant? WTF is this?).

 

Whoops! The annotations must contain a signifciant error. Once located, the answers is easy, the second 'A' (of M-A-D-A) indicated hold , but instead, the trader reversed.

 

Corrective action One (if unable to locate the source of the annotation error [why M-A-D-A resulted in a hold) - sideline.

 

Corrective Action Two (if by locating the annotation error the trader fully understands why M-A-D-A indicated hold - reverse back to the right side of the market (for your trading fractal).

 

As one gains additional experience, one will develop the confidence to reverse back to the right side, simply because "what must come next" - didn't, while still searching for the erroneous annotation.

 

Keep in mind (as the FBP continues to form) - and you have a full five minutes here - your brain is going to say, 'Wait a minute. If this bar finishes as a FBP on decreasing B, where the hell is my increasing R?" By then, you'll already be looking for that errant annotation.

 

HTH.

Spydertrader,

 

First, thanks for your renewed involvement in the thread.

 

In that particular case I wouldn't have reversed short, but in others I would, and have. Are you saying that WMCN, MCN on the very next bar? Isn't it possible that the next bar is subfractal, and therefore holding short is appropriate?

Spydertrader,

As per the instructions provided by romanus, my comments referred only to the specific context provided in the chart he posted.

 

The question is obviously about "specific" context in the attached. Thank you.

 

However, with respect to your specific question, in the example provided by romanus, such a thing is simply not possible.

re 28 Jan 2010 15:15 outside bar

Perhaps this is how it should be annotated, so 15:15 and 15:20 are the 2r of a b2b2r2b olive that forms the 2B of blue. Difficult to know in real time if one doesn't know that a faster sequence is in play. An explanation of how to know would be really useful.

Why can't the 2r be here..?

Attached find the complete days to the laterals I posted last weekend.

 

Maybe a weekend review can take place.

 

These laterals were selected as they fit the drill Spyder has assembled.

The laterals were neat because each one conformed to the drill, yet the context was very different. The outcome may be surprising.

 

 

They took place on . . .

 

Lateral #1 - January 6 2010 14:40

 

Lateral #2 - January 7 2020 14:40

 

They happen to form on the exact time on 2 dates in a row. Each lateral itself in context looking different from the other.

Have fun and post what you were thinking on the charts.

Thanks to Spyder for the drills that have brought about some good discussion.

 

I have also attached a chart with my annotations for the first lateral.

Spyder, you mentioned some time ago, that points 2 and 3 form in a very specific way. Would you elaborate on what exactly you had in mind? My best guess is that it wasn't their respective location on the chart (albeit this is important as well) you were insinuating at, but differences in the Gaussian and Price Bar Formations instead. If this is the case what is it that is noteworthy at those points? 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.
