Annotation for the lead into and out of FOMC. It looks kind o' wacky but it is fractal friendly with the ES 15 min. The arrows point to where the first BO bar for the various LM's occurs. I have looked very closely at jbarnby's annotation because he gave such a lucid interpretation of...

Per dkm's post just above, on 7-18-08 there is a completed 1,2,3 sequence prior to the breakout failure, which gave a JW signal for change and a FTT as a manifestation of same. On 7-29-08 there is no 1,2,3 sequence completed prior to the failed breakout and hence it is a hold. Other than...

Fractals, although used by JH are not his creation and have been around since Mandelbrot came up with the phrase a few years ago (from Wikpedia): A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a...

No more dV signals but in order to break free of the LM, price must close above the upper pole of the first bar of the formation, on increasing up volume. Close but no cigar. The wait continues. lj Edit: At times like this it can be beneficial to look at the slower time fractals (15 min...

As of 14:37 the push will be for a higher high based on dV considerations alone. Right now we're in a big fat Lateral Movement (all closes inside the forming bar). This could drag on for a bit but ya never know. FWIW it sounded to me like BB said "No more dough" so let's see what the movers...

Thanks for sharing, ehorn. lj

Of credit card debt. Packaged in shiny, gold wrapping paper with lots of ribbons and minimal disclosure on exactly how the retranche was effected. lj

Hmmm. We are 22 min into RTH and there is still a 20-23 bp difference between $INDU and YM. STR-SQU syncheth not. lj Edit: Ooots. Did I really say bps when I meant to say points? Yes you did numnutz, so change it. No. [This is what happens when you spend too much time alone in the...

The type 1 dV fail was taken care of at the open. It's a DF/DM kind of week with a 95/5 for a 0/25 bp Fed announcement. So if Ben surprises, expect some more downdraft, which is to say the 'selloff' didn't work. It is worth noting that the 'anti-whiplash zone' (as makosgu calls it) on the...

I am being entirely too gabby this AM (entré) and will presently shutup. To think critically about something which someone has proferred, positted, presented ..., one must accept what the person has said before one can critically assess what has been said. Only then can one dump it. My...

As of this moment in time, x billion years from the biga-banga, I have decided to harvest all the crap from any of my prior 'non-discussion-only' posts and use them as fertilizer for the roses {Just Joeies, Double Delights, David Austin Englishes (http://www.rosegathering.com/austinth.html), and...

Guess du jour: A pair of vector entities require at least three bars for their comparison. Scalars, depending on how they are defined, may only need one bar. Boolean-type binaries may use however many bars are needed to construct the Boolean condition. So, PeV and JW need 3 bars; V/Vy...

I mentioned before that I like Al Farley for his wit and market viewpoints. Here's a weekend call for this Monday, 8-4-08: Monday following a labor data selloff usually reverses gears, so watch for a bounce to start the new week. Another V-reversal is possible but not likely, given the...

Thank you Spyder. I do believe we are on the same wavelength if not the same wave. As always I find your comments to be helpful even when they are accompanied with a large stick. I am a master of jet li and managed to dodge many of your swipes, but not all, to the benefit of myself and...

I went to bed last PM after the 11:03 PM post and awoke this AM to find the above post from Jack. It has been my experience that the way to maximize what I get out of his posts in general and a post like this, in particular, is to read it once quickly to get a feel for what he is saying and...

A couple of questions for Spyder or anyone else: 1. It appears that the 'constrained to the traverse level' criterion for JW, PFBO and PeV has been maintained although it might be perceived, incorrectly, to have been modified to accomodate 'intrafractal movements". Is that correct? 2. We...

Otay. Spyder's definition is that peak volume is a condition in which there is a "acceleration of the Gaussian slope". In your case the slope of the bars7-8 volume is clearly decelerating from that in bars6-7. So this triplet of bars fails to meet his definition. Your definition of peak...

I have always found you to be a thoughtful, perceptive poster point one but I must disagree with your point re peak volume (or PeV as I call it here). To discuss something, a set of mutually agreed upon definitions must be in place at the onset. Such definitions should not be considered to...

I'm outta here but before leaving would suggest that you find 3 consecutive bars with increasing volume (which is not what you've shown) and if you do, then see if the %slope increase of bar 3 - bar 2 is > the % slope increase of bar 2 - bar 1. That's what the unruly mob, with Tum's assistance...

Hey callmate, Nice to have you drop by. If there is such a thing as a "Thread Niceness Award" you get it - no contest. Avi8 and I have had our differences but so what. I learn from what he says when he speaks about JHM and that's all I care about. I have to be a bit careful though. He...
