    On this BO of the lateral we have a black stitch. So fan the original rtl to include the lateral and see that the stitch second bar is the FTT afterthe book mark you reversed on and then went to the ftt to take another round of profits. (1 point). So bookmark and reverse short.

    Bar 7 is not a VE and not an FTT. We are past point 3 and looking for an ftt. The drill is to reverse on the ftt, book mark it and annotate. This keeps us on the right side of the market and always taking the offer for the whole pattern thqt is underway. Oh by the way, they are...

    We end bar 6 holding long after our fourth ftt of the day. For those who follow the pattern, you can see where we are as the bars of the day pass. we are ahead about 10 points of realized profits and holding long on bar 7. We need to annotate the bar 7 as soon as possible to know that...

    Look at bar 4 Do you have an ftt? Do you have a VE? No you do not. You hold after you did the wash reverse back short when the bookmark was hit. do you put in this bookmark on the bottom of the bar? No you do not since there is no ftt AND you aree already short.

    Thre can be an argument on how bar two formed. If an arguement is done then both people use their loggsequence for bar 2 to discuss the sequence of forming bar 2. as both people log the formation of the bar they are also putting in the ltl once they have the slope of the rtl determined...

    Bar 2 lets you draw the rtl when the top of the bar occurs. Look a quarter of the way down the first page of your long to see the top put in during the formation of the second bar this is point 3 and you KNOW an ftt is going after point 3. you reverse long when the ftt occurs.
