Much better. Spend some time on the morning (blue Up Traverse) in an effort to 'see' why something is amiss. The rest of the day looks pretty good. - Spydertrader

You might want to spend some time reviewing your Gaussian Annotations. - Spydertrader

If one were truely "starting from the beginning" as you put it, one would not know anything about PA, PV, PKV. Now, would they? One would simply find themselves focused on learning to annotate ........ :) - Spydertrader

The above represents the classic case - one part of the brain knows the answer, but hasn't let the other parts of the brain in on the secret just yet. Your brains are telling you all that it 'sees' something correctly even though consciously you all cannot yet fully grasp the concept...

Spend a day or two focused on annotating without using Laterals (of any kind). See if that doesn't change your focus just enough to put you on the right track. No need for wholesale changes at this point - just subtle shifts. - Spydertrader

You'll want to ensure your gaussians match your trend lines and maintain the same resolution level. The market is still headed up at the 'added' R2R - Spydertrader

Then once again the market has shown you where you need to apply focus and effort. - Spydertrader

The green isn't a channel. This area represents a Traverse. The blue and purple don't contain Traverses. These represent Faster Fractal Traverses. The yellow appears to represent something that should be removed from the chart. :) - Spydertrader

You do not need to 'wonder' if the answer provided by bi9foot represents an accurate description of the signals provided by the market. Simply, look at your chart, or if you feel you still have difficulty with annotation technique, look at the chart posted by bi9foot. :) - Spydertrader

Then in order to remove confusion and uncertainty the task at hand becomes differentiating FF Traverses from actual Traverses on the ES 5 minute chart. Something must differentiate the two. Once located, confusion can turn to clarity. - Spydertrader

Even though one may not have known where one stood with respect to the channel sequences, as long as one knows where they are with respect to the traverse level sequences, the market provides the opportunity to know when the time has come to shift sides of the market. - Spydertrader

The market certainly concurs with this assessment. You already know the answer here becuase you have already seen Answer B take place in the past. :) - Spydertrader

Not a problem ..... First, you see it. Then, you see it faster. And finally, you learn to anticipate it. - Spydertrader

Spend some time reviewing your Gaussians. They are off just enough to possibly cause you a problem or two. - Spydertrader

Very nice. If you annotated this in real time, you should be well on your way to achieving your goals. Start with the previous down traverse. Where is the right trend line? Now, locate the Point Two of the Traverse in question. Note its location with respect to the previous down traverse...

For this specific example, yes. - Spydertrader

<img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2205173> Yes. You have corrected most of those areas I viewed before. However, one which you may want to review: Down Black stops at 13:00. Up red begins at 13:00. I slide one in now and then, and I appreciate the sentiment...

<img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2205160> Create thoroughly annotated charts, and that which currently eludes your grasp, will (slowly at first) begin to form clarity in your mind. Begin with thorough, and through refinement, you'll arrive at correct...

No. The market provided a 'faster fractal' traverse, but not an actual traverse down to begin the day. If your hypothesis was correct, then yes, but the market clearly indicated otherwise. Therefore, something was missed. While clearly having the ability to differentiate the two...

Back then, we did not have as a goal to remain on one trading fractal. Now, the goal is to know when one has 'jumped fractals' because 'jumping fractals' isn't, in and of itself, a bad thing (one can actually profit more by doing so), but 'jumping fractals' without knowing one has done so, can...
