Quote from jack hershey:
There are two more trading fractal moves coming up to complete the three slow fractal moves on the slow fractal. the slow fractal had a dominant move up and a non domint move down. we are into the last move of the slow fractal.
Move 8 is a "dip" or small retrace. It is seen as a failure to go short and volume is decreasing during move 8.
Volume returns and no wall is in site to the north. There is nothing in the way of the final dominant move 9.
By annotating the various levels of fractals. you see the slow fractal contains trading moves 1, 2, 3 as a long segment and moves 4, 5, and 6 as a short segment. connect up the RTL and add the LTL of the slow fractal.
The slow fractal ENDS with move 9 (dominant) and price does NOT reach the the LTL of the slow fractal container.
With the turtle (options based rules) you got in on move 3 and held until the end of move 9.
As suggested, there are better trading approaches than the Turtle "nurture" successful operating approaches.
Use bars to build move containers. Use these fast containers to build slower containers. Benefit: you always see the FTT's at the end of a container. Also annotate volume. dominant moves end on peak volume; non dominant moves end on troughs. Volume leads price so you add Pro Rata Volume shadow to volume so you know peaks and troughs at beginnings of bars instead of ends of bars. On a 5 min chart you are 5 minutes ahead of the turn, usually.
Now you know why the Turtles lagged in trading behind smart money. BUT tutles do get there when running against rabbits. Rabbits are âfreakouât traders which have been used in these blow by blow descriptions.
Welcome to the beginner world of trading.
Jack, you are being very specific recently in your posts and it is very appreciated. Might you suggest a start to look at your material given the refinement over the years,
thank you.
