ES 20081230 I also found today very tough going. Gaussians continue to be a source of confusion. Still no clear definition as to the difference between a "real traverse" and a "faster fractal traverse".

I presume that you are referring to volatility expansion, correct?

ES 20081229

For clarity and consistency I try to keep to Spyder's colour convention: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2203447#post2203447 So the answer to your question is "5 min ES traverse". However, I may well have got it wrong.

Working backwards from a blank chart...

real traverse....

rightly or wrongly, I have concluded that 11:45 cannot be a real p2, so 12:00 cannot be real p3 so this is a ff traverse.

so far

Unfortunately that was not the case. The introduction of "faster fractal traverses" has caused confusion and uncertainty.

12/3 debrief. Unsure of where I was in sequences for most of the day in real time.

Would it not be more accurate to say that 15:25 was a p2 and 15:40 was a p3 but the pace accel to 15:45/15:50 signalled a new p2 at 15:50 which then led to a new p3 at 16:15? Of course, the ob at 15:40 was a bonus indication that a new p2 was on its way.

2nd attempt at co drill after rethinking tapes.

co drill

Things would look different on the next bar when the tape is broken but with the information given in the drill I would still find it difficult to know if the sequence was complete at the 5 min traverse level. It hinges on whether on not the last bar shown (the spike) was dom or non dom and...

drill

So the net result is a b2b at 13:55, after the pt3 at 13:50. I would have expected the b2b to coincide with pt2 at 13:40 which I considered to be dominant.

10:15 on 21st October I believe.
