Probably, the same reason someone studying to be an attorney doesn't argue cases before the Supreme Court after 18 months of Law School. Probably, the same reason a student of medicine doesn't practice Neuro-Surgery after 18 months in Med School. Probably, the same reason The U.S. Military...

No. No. - Spydertrader

There you go. The slope needs to accelerate. Now, all that remains is to differentiate between actual Peak Volume from a 'Step Up' in pace (Pace Acceleration). In addition, the appearance of Peak Volume, just like any other signal for change, requires correct timing. Remember the fractal on...

How, then, do you differentiate between 14:05 and 11:10 and 12:20? Again, I have not indicated anything incorrect or correct about your response, but don't all these bars look the same? (This is fun being on this side of things for once - playing the role of devil's advocate. :D ) Read the...

Everything under the sun has a beginning and an end. What begins a Traverse? What creates a Traverse? What ends a Traverse? The market provides these answers. This is not the defintion provided for Peak Volume. You've translated the defintiion into something not implied, nor inferred...

I didn't say you annotated incorrectly (and I didn't say you annotated correctly either), but it is important to know what 'signal' told your brain that you needed to be short. This exercise might assist everyone in learning (conciously) what their brain already knows (subconsciously). Or, this...

Anyone who annotated a down traverse on their charts today. Kindly detail the signal for change which caused you to go short and the signal for change which caused you to return to the long side. - Spydertrader

No. See next response. Peak Volume represents the signal, rather than, the Formation BO (followed by failure of the market to provide more increasing Volume) as you astutely observed. However, both instances do not represent Peak Volume. One example shows a Pace change, but not peak...

Do you mean to suggest that you found some benefit from following the advice to revisit the monitoring portion of the M-A-D-A Process? Shocking news, indeed. :D - Spydertrader

Don't guess. Know. If you don't know, wait for the market to tell you (while in learning mode). The specific signal for change sits inside Lateral Movement. Of the two possible solutions the market can provide for a non-dominant traverse, which has the market told you to expect? - Spydertrader

Note the Four Black Volume Peaks. Locate the one which has a signal for change. After a signal for change of an up Traverse, what must come next? - Spydertrader

My post describes a lesson that you (and many others) need to learn - how to differentiate between what you 'see' as similar or exactly the same, and the reality of 'subtle differences' which alert the trader to a difference in context. You posted two snippets of charts today. In one, you failed...

1. Delete the Green and Purple. They are not Traverses. They only look like Traverses. Note how the increasing Volume forms. 2. Match the gaussians to the Trend Lines. 3. Think of Laterals as needing two closes Outside them to 'kill' the formation (end it). - Spydertrader

Good. Now. Look to see if you can locate any differences between today, and with what you believe is the same. Otherwise, you'll be posting next about why this example (today) didn't result in the same outcome in a few minutes. Hint: Compare the BreakOut Bars to see what differences exist...

Lateral Movement. I apologize for the typo. - Spydertrader

Does the current market condition look familiar? - Spydertrader

One example creates a Lateral. The other doesn't. See guavaman's answer. If you do not see a difference in context between a lateral BO which fails to provide more increasing volume, and thus, creates a signal for change, and an example which has no lateral, then I really do not know what else...

Thank-you for providing an example of how a failure to thoroughly annotate a chart can lead to confusion. By adding the missing Lateral Formation, you should easily see a different context with this example compared to the example under discussion this morning. - Spydertrader <img...

Apply some critical thinking to the problem at hand. The Jokari Window indicates what is change. Does this scenario fit with what the Jokari Window says is a signal for change? Of course. In such an environment, does it seem wise, to you, to be 'fanning out' an RTL of an Up Traverse? -...

This is a Vocabulary word used to descibe a signal for change which occurs at a specific point in time. Using the Jokari Window, what signal for change exists? As I stated in a previous post one must have a signal for change (on the correct fractal) in order to have an FTT. Since you only have...
