Thank you VERY VERY much for restating this. I was about to ask what probably would appear to be another dumb question related to exactly this. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I now realize about 99.99% of my "problem". It's that I don't believe that sequences "MUST" play out. I hadn't...

I"m sorry, not quite following you here. I just want to be sure there's no misunderstanding. Nothing in my comments were meant to be negative towards you. THey were meant to indicate how narrow minded some have been (and I don't discount myself from this group at times, but I'd like to think...

Thank you nkhoi. So, in your opinion, is this a case of the LM NOT being a "retrace, a traverse, or a channel" type situation. I know others are in the same boat. Seems like there are very often two ways to "see" the chart at a given point. Somehow, I manage to see it wrong. The neat thing...

I have been focused on one thing only: building traverses with tapes and channels with traverses. I am nowheres done with this. I can feel in my bones that ALL (well, virtually all) my and most others difficulties lie in "seeing" the fractals. I would have swore I had an aha moment. Then I...

My hypothesis about differenciating pace increase and peak volume has to do with WHERE price came from. IOW- where in the gaussian cycle did the acceleration begin from. This is as far as I've got with the idea. If/when I get something more definite, I will share.

And lest any of you wish to side with Spydertrader's view on blame, responsiblity, et al, and stick your head in the sand then stop reading now..... The attached chart shows an instance of increasing gaussian slope. Note that the increase did NOT indicate "peak" volume, as volume rose higher...

LOL :D Earlier in the journals, traverse WERE tree level. This is exactly the sort of thing to which I refer in my last post. It's like many here are being led around in some sort of twilight zone.

"It's simply an acceleration of the Gaussian slope." This is not unambigous. How is the slope measured: instantaneously? Over 3 bars? Over 3 gaussians? And, assumming that Peak Volume has some importance, don't you think it odd that this "journey" is now at 20 some odd months, and FIRST now...

No simming or live trading icarus. I did try to start simmming, believing that trying something different might help. Upon Spyder's instructions to STOP, I did. SInce then I've reverting to just working through as many static charts (printed out) as I can manage. Jack Heshey, I believe...

Thank you for supporting my contention. No where in there is an UNAMBIGUOS definition. Increasing slope? Compared to what? Bar to bar? Intrabar? Over a gaussian? Of what level resolution? This methodology, as it is being taught, is anything but Binary. It might, perhaps, fit the model of an...

I just received this pm from someone who pretends to be successful (I can only say pretends because that is what they act like).... "practice practice practice... hey... you have been suggested/requested/told to post your charts numerous times... hahaha your loss ;-)> p.s. read...

Touche' !!!!!!!! THis is precisely my point. Sometime back I mentioned that perfect practice makes perfect, not just practice. Many of us here don't know if we're doing it right or not. Who knows, I could be annoating and seeing everything I'm supposed to, with one slight misunderstanding...

Can one assume then that when you said: "My goal includes making this process as clear and concise as possible. If at any time, someone feels a post requires additional clarification, please bring those comments to my immediate attention." at the beginning of the futures journal that this is no...

I stopped counting after I completed 100 rep's of printed out crayola drills. I definitely am more lost than I was at the beginning. In the past few months there have been quite a few assertions that never arose in the whole year of the futures journal. For example: distingquishing a RTL XO...

trying it out/testing

Thank your both Guava and Spyder. There is so much that has transpired in the past few score of pages that it's time to stop and really study what's contained therein. At this point, the answer to the quiz just caused another frustrating question. I'll do myself and the forum the favor of not...

Does no one find it odd that after 40 some odd pages (on my browser) that no one can (or is willing) to come up with an answer? Spydertrader, are you even entertaining tries at answering this anymore? In the past week I have done over 100 printed out drills of annoatation. If anything, I feel...

Attached is my work on 7/24/08. The lavender horizontal lines represent a lateral traverse (pt3 channel). As this lateral channel was preceded by a down traverse (pt3 channel) I expected the lateral channel to be followed by another down traverse (pt3 channel). THis is what we got. Everything...

I wish to have something clarified on this chart which Spydertrader posted: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2008336 The area labeled "Lateral Movement", is actually a lateral formation along with a FFBO (formation failed b/o). In the past, Spyder has specified that...
