Hi, I saw it the same way. I just didn't understand the two points used to draw the up channel. The 1st point makes sense because that's where the incr. black started. The second one just seems some small black bar somewhere in the lateral (on lower volume). Black volume of these bars is even...

Hi Eric, I was checking the 2-3's after the different breakouts on your chart and then noticed this channel (see attached) does not really follow it's gaussians. Maybe that is the reason why there is no clear point 2 and then point 3 down after BO. Actually when I saw how price reacted...

I like the video Eric. Just a comment. You did not mention the importance of "tapes" regarding determining point 3's regards, Ivo

Yeah, I know. I was setting up quotetracker and messing with the carryover channels. It was there but I removed it. Another thing I missed was the 1st FTT because I could actually not see my first ES bar on my chart as the day seperation line was the same color as my bar lol and I thought it had...

Chart for the morning. Had trouble getting in. Obviously there was no clear direction after the opening allthough price did reside in an up channel. There was some news event (so it seemed) that triggered a double bottom FTT right after 10:00. After that I traded very well. Even pushing the...

Small annotated video how the first FTT was formed yesterday. I was actually short (since the fbo) but reversed later on, on pt3 up. The move was about 4 points. I am also following DOM btw. Here it is. regards, Ivo

Hello Jander, I did consider it to be an FTT. - However, the high of that bar was the same value of another bar in the same channel (YM). This made me think :"Even harmonic" just like in an HVS (same high). Had it been a tick higher I would have reversed - The volume did not convice...

For sure that was the case and I was on the wrong track for a while. You cannot keep on reversing on str/sq signals. Learned my lesson. Also a matter of moving to coarse again. Also I did notice in the last 45 minutes or so that YM and ES were more or less going their own way. regards...

Funny. I was following str/sq very closely today but it was giving so many contrary signals in the last hour. Did anyone notice this? regards, Ivo

Yeah, I think human mind prefers a certain small profit above an uncertain (but good chance) bigger profit. Next to this we experienced a few small losses right before so we have the tendency to make up for it instead of moving to coarse level.. Very hard but a key thing to learn imo...

Chart for the morning. Compared to yesterday it was crystal clear. I participated in the major moves. The first one was even from 9:45 until 10:50 netting 4 points or so. I just lost some ticks after RTL break around 11:00. This was mostly for trying to be short early instead of waiting...

I have reviewed the video of this and tried to identify the moments where we know this is not an HVS (so on incr. red volume). In my opinion this does happens when we are three ticks below the bottom trendline of what we thought to be an HVS. We get a squeeze there and increasing red after that...

That's our method. We act (immediately) to make money and worry if it was right later. The minutes after the trade you watch very carefully for signals that validate your choice but even more important signals that invalidate it. regards, Ivo

Thank you for the explanation. It is clear to me that one cannot stop monitoring, lean back and say "Oh well, this is HVS, price should come out on the other side". You have to watch it very closely. regards, Ivo

Thank you but it is not completely clear. How could I have noticed this was not an HVS? - I did notice that the range seemed a little large for being an HVS (considering low volatility at that moment). - Also I noticed that on YM within what I thought to be an HVS there was some...

Hello, I marked bar 8+9 as HVS and was convinced price went in from the bottom and would come out on the top. Why isn't it marked as HVS on your chart? regards, Ivo

Just wanted to share this eurodollar trade for almost 20 pips. regards, Ivo

chart for the morning. regards, Ivo

Hello, I was reviewing pr0crast's compilation (thank you!) and came across the following: ----- Quote from ivob: Can conclusions be drawn from str/sq values over several bars or should we just look at the "now"? So is there something like a trend in str/sq? Quote from Spydertrader: I...

Tell them they have another paying subscriber for sure if str/sq is added to QT :-) Or in other words: the feature of graphing the difference between two symbols. Not a ridiculous feature to have I think for serious charting software. regards, Ivo
