The Jokari window appears to fail on a non-dominant traverse as price continues its direction towards the RTL on decreasing vol.

I thought that analysis was only on the highlighted bar. But as you indicated, if we consider the next bar, price heads higher matching the jokari window.

Hey Spy, I am not sure I understand what you are trying to say here (especially the sentence I have highlighted in red). I am hoping you can clarify what you mean. The attached image shows where the highlighted bar belongs in the jokari window given the conditions of price heading down and...

No requirement for it to be after a VE. As long as a bar tries to go in the dominant direction and heads back in the other direction it is a potential FTT (as long as you continue to see what you expect after a FTT).

This might help. This is a post from back in February. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1373636#post1373636 The few ticks that the bar attempted to continue in the dominant direction makes it a FTT.

ROTFL. I know how it feels like looking over the wall. priceless.

Yep sure did look like a test run :D

Was there news at 2pm today? When volume dried up right before 2pm, I checked economic calenders just to be sure but nothing mentioned .

If anyone saw the change at 9:45 bar would you mind sharing your thought process. I was long from the 9:35 bar (green arrow) after the FTT on my CO channel. When price started heading down both the YM and ES volume was lower. Also I did not have a point 3 channel yet so I was going to...

Thanks Oddi & R/R for the additional clarifications. I do not remember reading the switch for the 1min interval even though I had read the document before; so good reminder to check it out again. Personally I don't use IF1/IF2 however the recent discussions prompted me to try and...

Here is a diagram that I drew of what my understanding of IF1/IF2 and APA is. The drawing is based on a long orientation. I am not entirely sure if after APA one goes exclusively into IF1/IF2 mode or if APA is an option depending on entry point. In the drawing I have a sequence of APA...

That is the balance I am really trying to get, because it is very easy to get too reverse happy. LOL, hoping that you were right earlier and wrong now happens too often to my displeasure. Sometimes I get in thinking a retrace is done (like the example I posted) but I am too early. As...

The take home from this is: When looking for YM to signal change one should not make a trade while the current YM bar is still within the bounds of the previous bar (i.e as long as a possibility of a formation being formed exists). I am correct with this conclusion? Thanks.

Finally we have change. I am trying to view this from a different angle. So any suggestions are welcome. Ideally I should have held off on the trade for at least another 2 mins. How would one know to hold off until the real point of change? <img...

We did not have change. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1672490">

I am posting this series of snapshots to get an idea of what I am reading wrong. ES has gone down on increasing volume. I am anticipating the down trend to resume. I am looking for a sign of change in the YM. YM had a VE on two channels so I am thinking we have change. This is when I...

Both screen shots are from the MB Trading quote stream. It is because of those pauses that I was thinking of using IB.

Chart with trades marked.

Here are my trades (sim) for the morning. I was mostly away from the computer after lunch so did not trade. I find I do better trying to stay in all the time. Waiting for point 3's for example gets me in the retrace too early and ends up being bad (similar to trades 8 & 9). Trades 8 &...
