A while ago I was fortunate to have noticed in the forum an experienced futures trader whose system was based on the same concepts as mine. I asked him a question and was surprised that he not only answered but generously offered to answer any of my questions, without anything in return. For...

Very true. Usually, but not as easily, meditation will get me back to sleep as well. I'm glad to get confirmation from others. Otherwise I just go ahead and get up and later on will feel the urge to return to sleep.

If you're registered for cannabis, try Feel Relaxed, an indica tincture. Also gabapentin works, its an off label use and you need a prescription. Meditation also works, especially if you get an Andrew Johnson deep sleep meditation, which you can get on Insight Timer. Its more like hypnotherapy...

Sorry, bnnf, my omission. You are right, bars 53 and 54 should have been in a container.

I have plenty of my own errors and omissions, but FWIW here is how I saw that section.

I saw a little more detail, bnnf. For example, here is how I saw the up sequence begin to develop after your initial FTT.

Actually that does help. Thanks for articulating the concept. It puts some things in sharper perspective for me. I now also see that a major error resulted from my assumption, for some reason, that the traverse steepened at 10:30. As far as my original question regarding apparent completion of...

The BBT3 at 14:25 lacked an FTT and wasn't exhaustion. Since BBT3 failed to complete, the tape and traverse also failed to complete. Should I expect the traverse to flatten, form a new p3 and require a new tape be built? Heroic would you please comment?

If “sloppy” annotations meant, among other things, imprecise trend lines, hopefully this is better. My errors involving accelerations of containers, after having had some help, are also, hopefully better. As far as gaussians, although meaningful to me, they are not very elegant. Comments are...

Thanks, xioxx. Besides the fact that your annotations look very clean compared to mine, I see several important differences between our charts. You drew your LTL from the 2nd bottom (13:40) whereas I drew mine from the 1st bottom. I agree with you. At the arrow you show a bar that spans the...

If wilddog or xioxx would be so kind as to post your chart for the 24th maybe I will better understand what you are trying to help me with. For example, I don’t see where I am fractal jumping. Also, when I redraw my lines up to 14:15 I get the same results. As far as sloppy, I will study the...

I’m never quite certain the correct way to annotate subfractals or what to expect when they complete. If you have visible iv in a subfractal, do you expect visible iv at its resolution, or do you sometimes need to go to finer tools?

You are absolutely right, xioxxio, I was totally missing that!

Thanks, baro-san and wilddog. My reasoning was that from P3 of the tape, all we needed was to complete a BBT3 in order to complete the tape. But the BBT3 also needed 3 equal and opposite parts. Because I failed to extend the lateral, I showed a full volume cycle in the 1st part where it didn't...

Here is my most recent attempt to follow what I perceive as an extended tape with several BO/FBO's. Is anyone else trying to apply equal weight measurements to their charting? The busy gaussians are part of trying to keep track of the sequences at various levels. As far as determining exhaustion...

Thank you. That is very helpful. With that information, the solution became immediately obvious. My underlying problem has been that I lack a working procedure for determining equality of complexity and frequently see equality where it doesn't exist. I recognize that is a problem and will...

Thanks, plantrader. Without question clarity will often elude me. There is some comfort in simply accepting that reality. I continue to believe, though, that there is science to this and that there is much more that I need to understand.

Most times, fractal theory explains the geometry in ways that to me feels logical and certain. However, the period I have outlined in the attached snippet has me confused. It seems the market was simultaneously building an up tape from bar 76 and a down tape from bar 1.

I do see the 3 BBT's, but I didn't see the container from 5 to 15 as equal weight to the container from 66 to 15. Does that mean that the FC from 5-9 = the FC from 10-12 = the FC from 12-15, (in addition to being equal to complexity of 66 -15)? I saw the 2nd BBT as unequal so that BBT 1...

Thank you both. So if I understand correctly, bar 15 is the end of down sequence as xioxxio indicated with his gaussians and trend lines. Although my FTT's were only intended to apply to the BBT1 (since no BBT2 had yet developed), the 5m chart may lack the granularity necessary to identify an...
