Thanks for posting an image along with your question. I haven't ever mentioned or used a 5 sec chart, so I can't comment on your question about it. I can't answer your question about exhaustion unless you phrase it more specifically either. I see BBT 3 failing to maintain volatility, as...

This BBT 1 isn't made of three equal sub-containers, which your medium-thick gaussians seem to depict. It is the result of an extended sub-fractal gaussian due to BBT 2 not meeting complexity requirements as discussed. This was the reason I didn't annotate a medium thickness full gaussian...

Your annotations are looking a lot better in a short amount of time. Really drill down to the finest details and draw in/modify each bar-by-bar case trend-lines. Annotate the fastest gaussians you can see within FCs themselves for the entire day as well. This will give your mind a lot more...

Regarding the taping and your questions on the example; you've done a good job asking questions and drawing some tentative conclusions. You don't require an answer from me or anyone else though. You can test them against the market every single day. There are so many subtle nuances that until...

Great content baro. I think I need previous context to annotate example #2 correctly, but I gave the last one a go. Also, I have no idea what Spyder's theory on laterals is, as I've never talked to him. I have completed the lateral differentiation drills posted by him though, and believe I...

Just to underline, I want to make it clear that you shouldn't take my word for it, or Spyder's or Jack's. The whole key to learning this system isn't laying out 100x rules for every contextual circumstance imo, it's learning how to conduct logical tests in order to build a consistent annotation...

There are two stumbling blocks you might be creating for yourself. 1. I don't understand your hypothesis regarding laterals. What are the rules you've made whether to disregard laterals or not? How do you know as they are forming whether to disregard them or not? Have you tested these...

That's a great question to ask. You've stumbled upon an area for study; what gives BBT's sufficiency for completion. FC BO is something that gives implied IV to complete a sequence in certain cases. Try to collect images of BBTs that seem to complete before you think they should and see if...

tiddlywinks, Thank you for your input. I've discussed these methods with several people who studied Spydertrader's threads extensively, and they have come to the same conclusions I have. I can understand your disagreement, but in my opinion it is borne out of an incomplete understanding...

You've bitten off quite a mouthful. I sloppily answered most of your questions given the space provided, but some of these instances you're noticing require precise conditions to be met in order to bring them to completion. Dominant tapes are more frequently VE'd and accelerations in volume...

You can just keep applying the same exact principles to an increasingly larger scale. The base set of principles on how FCs are annotated and how the volume sequences unfold within them is fractal in nature.

Great question; I've attempted to answer what I understand you're asking. Two things come to mind. 1. We need always to resolve all fractals lower than the one we are trying to complete before we can possible have an FTT for it. I've tried to illustrate this in the attached image. 2. For...

I agree. Don't get me wrong; if someone develops their understanding to the point at which they are consistently profitable; the additional refinements are somewhat of a luxury. However, from what I've seen of everyone who has advanced far enough towards always being in a place of certainty at...

You bring up a good point, and I think this is one of the primary difficulties in trying to discuss these concepts via forums. It is very difficult to lay out vocabulary which is defined thoroughly enough to have the same meaning for multiple people. By "equal and opposite", I mean that BBT 2...

This is what the near-end of a Tape looks like. We don't know anything in advance, but all sequences have reached sufficiency for completion, and every sub-fractal to the tape will begin to fail to meet or exceed prior volatility. We want to watch for a change sequence as volume, although low...

Here comes the part that usually loses most people. I will illustrate the theory, but it only seems to click after an intense amount of observation and study. However, these principles always hold true. There is never a time when the market does not form a trend comprised of three smaller...

In order to discuss Fractal Theory, over the years many vocabulary words have been used to describe particular situations which arise in the market, or to describe various annotations. In this thread, we've already been using the vocabulary term "FC" to refer to the fastest visible containers...

Thanks for identifying and posting that example baro. Here are two real containers formed by the market. Once beginners have proper bar-by-bar FC annotation down and are able to confidently segment market data into completed FCs, we want to begin taking a look inside of the container itself...

Great discussion guys. Tiddlywinks had a very good point that the last bar shown in my example isn't likely to be the point 3 of a larger fractal, and even if it is, placing it at the moment would be premature. However, this whole method of learning hinges on creating hypothesis about he...

FC Discussion Regarding your observations, it seems that you've drawn a solid conclusion regarding the relation between the two; that the second FC appears to represent a stronger sentiment than the first FC. It is good you've noted that the second FC has no internal bars, each one makes a...
