Hi Ivo, Thanks for your post. I'm not sure if you understand my intent here. I think I agree with every facet of your analysis. I was long on the bar and stayed long until the RTL broke.

Steve, My practice (and confirmed ok via Spyder's review of my channels video) is that I do not draw in a new channel if the old channel is broke by only a couple ticks and then price goes right back into old channel. I also use Spyder's technique of using this phenomonen (b/o and return to...

Mike, I took great pains today to be specific, to comply with everyones wishes, and to stay on focus. Nothing here addresses the issues I've put forth. I have posted a chart, I've posted my thought process, and with the exception of bi9foot, not one has talked about the issues I've posed. You...

Thanks for your input David, SO you entered 18 seconds into the bar. Wow. PRV isn't even remotely accurate at that point (at least in many, many instances). Also, as PRV (as I recall) was at extreme levels the whole bar, you would have been thinking about intra bar changes. Price is prone to...

Avi, here is my chart. Gaussians are done after the fact. Also, note where the big blue arrow is. The first bar that broke out of the purple channel was on decreasing volume. Then immediatley, the next bar is down and on increasing volume. Then price closes where it opened. This does occurr...

At some point, we all need to face the facts that MADA bring to us. Monitor, analysis, decide, act. I think some of us are getting too attached to not trading meaning not making a decision. Without decisions, you don't even have a remote clue as to what you've learned. If you prefer, drop...

Just to be clear, I've attached a chart snippet. Don't worry about this particular example. It's meant to help you understand my interpretation issue. Notice the two ways to draw the gaussian. Is this really a B2B? Or is it a decreasing black? Afterall, we all know that the gaussians are to...

I will plan on doing this tomorrow, as I've already made numerous changes to my actual, real time annotations, particulary on the gaussians. And I don't expect you to do my homework for me. WHy not just post even on the FTT you believe I have incorrectly annotated. If you don't, I probably...

This sort of brings me back full circle to the beginning of our voyage. This is more or less the same sticking point I had back in February. EVERY bar, while the gaussian is forming, (not intra-bar, intra-gaussian) could be interpretted as either a possilbe increasing/decreasing bar, or...

Here is the flip side: Look at late this afternoon. 15:20 bar was left side of up trend. 15:25 appears to be FTT. Then 15:30 and 15:35 are lateral which to mean sets up potential pt3. OK, now, the way I had been entering would have been to go short on +prv on 15:40 bar. But wait! that...

Continuing.... How to tell, intra-gaussian, what is dom and what is non-dom. I can tell you two things: 1) volume spikes intra-gaussian are very misleading, but you don't know they are outliers until after the gaussian is complete 2) r2r and b2b are lagging indicators of change 3)...

Ahhhhh, finally, this is what I was hoping you guys would catch. Every "trade" was in a non-dom direction. I realized that, but was keeping it a secret to see who would notice. Now, the problem is, I can only tell it was Non-Dom , AFTER the whole damn guassian completes. This, I believe...

Thank you Mike, First, as I posted earlier, I'm NOT trading. I'm telling you where I identified pt3's. I'm consistantly wrong. THis is where a trade would have occurred. Now, as to the other stuff, please post the bar you think my ftt is wrong on. Remember, I'm the guy who created the...

I appreciate the input, but again, it doesn't address the issue at hand. Is no one willing to spar with me? :) Really, I can't possibly be that frightening to deal with. I have a tooth ache, so I can't bite you, LOL. SOmeone, please post a solid reason why these (or any of these) shouln't...

It sure does Mr. Black. It confirms I've followed the rules exactly. And I have 4 losses to show for it. To be clear, my purpose is NOT to dismiss or disprove the method. It is to demonstrate conclusively that something is amiss. If I'm incorporating the rules incorrectly, great, I hope...

And another... See bar with red arrow above. I got a FTT on the forest after an FTT on the pt3 up dominant traverse. I patiently waited for the pt3 to set up. I got in early on the 15:00 bar (because this time I peeked at YM and PRV was clear to me that this was FTT type volume. I exited on...

Attached is another pt3 entry. See the last bar on the image. It was a FTT of the tape. The prior green bar had dec vol (non-dom). The bar of entry was of different color, and had > volume than prior bar. This entire setup was text book. On the following bar the low of the entry bar was broke...

I've used words to describe my experience that perhaps simply don't convey what I'm attemtping to describe. If we are to use MADA then that's what we do. We can't decide to use MADA in one moment, and then just willy nilly decide to ignore it the next. It seems likely that I'm having an issue...

Sorry Tums, thought I had posted it, apparently it didn't stick...

My "trades" from this am. I'm not really trading, these are where I would have taken action. THe intent is to enter on pt3 and exit on RTL. 9:50 I missed this one, mostly because the idea that a retrace for a pt3 channel to form can occurr on only 3 ticks doesn't fit my understanding of pt3...
