Step #2 - Formations.
Are we including the definitions that were established in Spydertrader's thread on TL? By 'Formations', I assume you referring to 'Lateral Formation' which if memory serves is just a sym pennant. OTOH, 'Lateral Movement' consists of a minimum three bar formation where first bar's high and lows are not violated in any way by the last two bars.
I believe JH utilized quite a bit of material from the TL thread. Hence the reason that I'm referencing it here.
