Quote from romanus:
Beginning to have suspicion that the lime RTL is the 'real deal'.
Regardless of your trendlines, whether you recycle the point 3 or use the same point 1, you need to find consistencies.
Look at how, when you keep using your original point 1 (Where all my brown lines originate from, you see a consistency of break-outs: 1max. 2bar break-out, which will mark the high, beginning from the low within the channel.
Then look at your ONLY up traverse within that day. (turquoise). Are you able to see that your "recycled" point 3 (magenta down traverse) tells you point 2 (turquoise) was a...Guess what: 2 bar break-out!
I'm just trying to say, there's no wrong way of annotating, at least not in my opinion. Just try to find (trough different ways of annotating) the consistencies of the market.
Different ways of annotating opens your eyes. You will see more and more consistencies. Same as annotating different markets (YM, Dax, AEX, CAC40, NQ,..) because they all tell the same story, in a different way.
