My first trade of the day... Entered Long @ 10:04:07, 1470.75 Covered @ 10:08:09, 1473.00 +2.25 I waited for the B2R to complete on bar 7 (10:00), intrabar. FBO'd my steep tape. The intrabar shift had me anticipating another B2R and I ending up entering mid-channel. Increasing black...

My ES chart for the day (11/20/07)... spooz

Haven't posted a chart in a while. My ES chart for the day (11/2/07). spooz

Hey Ivo, I'm not sure what resolution you're monitoring but from your chart, I'll assume you're at least at the traverse level. I wasn't monitoring live at this point in time so my comments are hindsight-based. When you saw the "highest volume of the day" on the 10:15 bar, were you...

Ivo, Are you sure? If you zoom out and construct a Forest channel, the 12:00 bar looks like a candidate FTT in the NOW, right? Also, take a look at the 15 min chart I posted earlier. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1605495> The tricky part for me was...

Another update... Ok, the market told me my R2R wasn't a R2R in the Forest, right? I decided to put up a 15 min chart for comparison and to see what the zoomed in (traverse) R2R looks like zoomed out. Note the red 15 min 12:45 bar BO'd the Long Forest channel. But it's only one bar. And...

Update... We'll see if my perceived R2R turns out be be a pace change in the Forest. Had to tweak my Gaussians again, sorry for the sloppiness... Have a good weekend everyone, spooz

My ES chart so far... Edit: cleaned up the last Gaussian a bit. spooz

RoughTrader, Good question. Maybe other folks can chime in here. If you don't implement a general solution, I think you would need to (or should I say ideally :)) be able to "widen"/"fan" the Forest channel(s) from the previous day. Or, maybe just the last traverse (from point 1). Food...

RoughTrader, Here's another way to look at it, and actually might be something to consider. Assuming your charting software allows you to do this, start with the daily fractal and draw channels that span a few months. Then zoom in and do the same with the 30 min or 60 min fractal. Now...

RoughTrader, Ok, this is good enough for me as I would be more interested in ideas, algorithms, "pseudo-code", etc as opposed to code that I would prolly re-write or an app that I couldn't modify. Although, I do understand the others point of view on this. I've been studying the method...

Hey Pr0, Looks a little bit like mine, lol :) spooz

Steve, Thanks for the additional feedback on the pt 3, much appreciated. It helps to read the thought process of someone else to view things from a different view point. Although I wasn't glued at 13:00, I'm pretty sure I would have had the short channel in place along with the tape...

(2nd chart from my post above)

Hey Steve and Pr0, I agree that the 13:00 EST zone turned out to be a textbook "new pt 3" entry, or maybe even an FBO if one started the channel a bit earlier. Steve, the entire 13:00 bar looked pretty much like a flaw to me, even from a PRV point of view. From my replay, I only see 236...
