Good idea, looking forward to it.
Thanks Jander. Me too.
ET posts do not handle 'in post' tables very well so I'll put the stuff in an Word.doc attachment. A couple of points before presenting the data are presented for your consideration.
When one constructs a binary one does so by setting boundaries on the parameters being used in the binary. So something like: If A > B + x, then the 'answer' is either 0 or 1. What we are doing right now with peak volume is buiding a binary and as yet that task is incomplete. The same holds true for the V/Vy doublet. For the purposes of this discussion, I have set the increment to be 10 contracts for V and > 0.50 (2 ticks) for Vy. This is COMPLETELY arbitrary. The peak volume boundaries are not here defined so I will not use it in my analysis. I have some other thoughts on PeV but will leave that discussion for another time. IMO, the other 2 binaries (JW and Pennant BO/FBO)are well described and will be used.
A note on JW. Jokari failures (JF) occur during retraces and flaws as has been presented previously. The way I understand this phenomenon is by viewing the 'failure' as an example of a situation where, instead of V leading P, P leads V. This is a HYPOTHESIS, as we say in the basic science biz - a 'working' hypothesis. If this notion has been presented somewhere in the bazillion posts re JHM, cool, I here reaffirm it. Einstein liked pictures (see Michio Kaku's book for a nice chat about this) and I do too. My picture is of price dragging volume through a retrace or a flaw and saying "This is where we are going whether you like it or not". As my wife says, "Deep." If you think about who's being yanked about by the smart$ in a retrace, "edgers" and some of the P/A crew spring to mind. In 'normal' Jokari circumstances, V leads P and that is what I look at primarily when examining triplet progression. As Spyder has said, JW indicates continuation or change and does not say what the affected bar is going to do. So with one exception (well at least for now anyway) I focus on what V is saying and don't worry about all the little things that the affected price bar might be or is doing.
A final thought and then it's outside (where else) for a tiny puff [Don Juan's 'little smoke' and what the first settlers offered us, in small amounts, at special times, long, long ago - tobacco] and back to le table. While working as a 'wet bench' basic science researcher, I learned how to think critically from personal experience and from the thoughts of my doctoral mentor, Winslow Spaulding Caughey. "Are you sure?" he used to say and what that came to mean to me, is that as a scientist I must be willing to dump what I thought was right and find out what is really right, with respect to the solution of the problem at hand. Otherwise one is really constructing a house of cards on shifting sands. Who wants to do that? Not me. The ego is there to be destroyed and rebuilt and so as 'Action Jackson' might say, "Let's roll".
