Iterative Refinement

I believe Spyder is also saying 29 signals change as well.

FTT?

I guess my question is whether or not there was anything I could have done to forsee this.

Don't hold through earnings.

Holding through earnings is very risky. This message has been mentioned several times within the journals.

My ES chart for Friday. I use QCharts and don't know how to shade areas for FTPs FBPs etc. Any comments appreciated.

Thank you, everyone, for the valuable posts yesterday and today. During debrief I noticed that my convention for annotating Gaussians around IBGS bars (including outside bars) and Point 3’s is sometimes slightly different from the way other wonderful posters here do it. Maybe I too strictly interpret the guideline that "Gaussian peaks and troughs must match price peaks and troughs." Or perhaps I’m missing something.

Thanks to Spyder’s excellent lesson in the Futures Journal and the question Romanus asked about HVS/lateral movement/even harmonics, I think I understand better now how to view the lateral movement area starting at 15:10 yesterday. We had decreasing volume after the 15:10 bar until 15:30 (14:15 to 14:35 on my chart) and I was stuck in the wabbit hole and wasn't paying attention to context.

That period looks similar to the volume area shaded in Spyder's post here:

There are some contextual differences as well. Thanks, guys.

Sorry, I keep noticing stuff and want to make sure it's correct.

Spy posted this chart on 5/1. I have a question on the color of 3 bars in it as annotated in the attachment. If based on either current bar open, or previous bar close, I think the color should be different. Did I miss the memo on the new bar color rules?

Quote from Spydertrader:

The bar made a lower low. As such, the bar is Red. The bar remains Red unless and until it turns into an Outside Bar. Simply because your charting software performs an action by default, doesn't mean that default action is a correct one.
