Spyder,
This is a snippet from the afternoon session and I would appreciate any commnents and answers to my questions, time and inclination permitting.
Question (marks) proceeding from left to right:
1. The large '3' is from a recycled P1 @10:35. I know you prefer to recycle from a P3. Why does it matter, if it does?
2. Is the down/up traverse sequence beginning with the big'3' kosher? I did not annotate it as a traverse (blue TL's).
3. The FTT (red crosshatch) @ 14:30 is not preceded by a VE or a flaw and this is unusual. There was a 'channel battle' going on at this time, IMO, and does that have anything to do with this?
4. Is it correct to annotate the LM beginning with the 14:35 bar? I have often seen you leave LM's with large 'air spaces' and instead annotate as I did, beginning with the 14:40 bar.
5. The LM from 14:40 till 14:55 appears to be an HVS with an embedded even harmonic (bright green crosshatch). Correct?
TIA

Edit: Any IBGS's in the trace will not be 'colored' correctly.

I noticed that I overextended the LTL's of the second and fourth 'traverse-channels'. Clearly when the new leg of the second up traverse puts in a higher high (lower low) which is greater (less) than the point 2 of the 'traverse-channel' we have a 'new' channel. I find it useful to keep the blue trendlines for the initial 'traverse-channel' (I believe Spyder either called it a 'mini-1,2,3 channel' or tolerated it being called that by somebody else). Apologies for any confusion.

Spyder I asked you yesterday why an orange traverse I had in and you didnt was not considered a traverse and you answered that every time you see increasing red doesn't necessarily mean we have pt 3 confirmation. You explained that the increasing red came fromt he breakout of a pennant and increasing red did not follow after that. I have attached the following snippet from todays ES.
The circled area seems very similar to that situation but in this case you have it labeled as a traverse. I was wondering if you could please explain the difference between this situation and the situation I previously asked about.
Thanks

When the market 'rolls over' or 'rolls under' fanning from (recycling) the Point Three more accurately represents these changes. Jack refers to these changes as 'saucer shape' formations.
The 'Up / Down' Sequence (of which Point Three sits squarely in the center) begins by a Step Up in Pace - which provides the appearance that a change in dominance has developed, when in reality, Volume pace jumped several levels (from just above Dry Up to Fast and Extreme).
The sequence delineated by the Blue lines looks fine to me. I have it annotated in green.
Perhaps, the previous bar represents the flaw you seek.
Having a Lateral Traverse in that area works perfectly fine.
No. Your Volume colors do not match your Price Bar Colors. RBR or BRB represents an HVS. You should see RBBR (all decreasing) when your Volume colors match your Price Colors.

Last I checked, one does not define 'similar to' by using the words 'exactly the same.' Differences obviously exist. Locate those differences.
