Just for fun, I added the indicators to my chart to see if they added any additional perspective. I'm not trading with them, just watching for now. I do have a question however if anyone would care to comment: I do not use the pre-market hours on my chart, thus my indicators will reflect more...

One day I hope to skin the cat "properly!" :p

For me as well. I have found however, that by trading the tape fractal I don't have to worry about jumping up a fractal. :D

My morning thus far. I'm beginning to see some patterns here LOL! Haven't been too sure about the gausians this morning, but have been sure about the tapes. 4 trades/16 pts. :)

My chart for the afternoon. I included some notes on how I saw it unfold.

My chart today. Thank God for the tapes! At times when I can't tell what's going on, I let the tapes be my guide. :)

Thanks Guava. I presume that for #10 and #11 you are referring to the JW Matrix (see attached). For example, a bar could have higher volume, but close inside (change), thus making it a Non-Dom bar? Would the reverse also be true? That is having a lower volume bar that closes inside...

To help me get a handle on the Dom Non-Dom issue, I've compiled some notes (and questions). Anyone who wants to provide any corrections or additional observations please do. Thanks. :)

Here is my chart for today. I've been focusing more on the sequence thing as I think that is what I need to work on the most.

This was my final chart for Friday. I had noted the tape breaks with arrows. I did not trade all of them, but enough to end the day positive. I did make some errors in the afternoon...:mad:

Here is another snapshot. Again, same story, price broke the tape RTL and up she went. I traded the tape break.

Truth be told, most of my profitable trades come from reading the tapes. I try to take some snapshots during the trading day to debrief later. From Friday, here was my first snapshot. This snapshot doesn’t reflect my final annotations, but one can clearly see that price broke the tape (and...

Thank you Spyder for your words of encouragement. Don’t get me wrong about my post. I am actually thrilled that I have gotten to the point where I am now. I know however that I’m not yet “seeing” the Big Picture and that is what is frustrating to me. Also, I still don’t know if...

Spyder, After your post, I don’t know whether to cry in frustration or scream with joy. I have perhaps, over 2,000 hours of screen time annotating the 5-min ES (pretty much every day) during the past 1-1/2 years. During that time I have gotten to the point where I can take profits out of...

My final chart for the day. Still trying to get a handle on the whole dominant- non dominant thing. Spyder, is this at all close?

My view at 11:30 this morning. I'm now drawing tapes all over the place! It seems to help.

My chart for today. Sweeeeet :D

Like some others, I've been focusing on tape drawing a lot more these days as well. I've been paying more attention to the slope of the tapes. I've been noticing some interesting relationships to tape slopes as well as the slopes of closing prices. The attached chart illustrates this with the...

Thank you Spyder.

Mr. Black: I notice that you annotated your 1,2,3 down channel (bars 67,68 and 70) while it is still within the the larger up channel. My inclination is to do this as well, but something Jack mentioned a while back, that reversals cannot occur within the channel overlap. So since having...
