Yes, but ...EDIT: EXCEPT for that damn outside IBGS 12:45 {close of} that may be responsible for the blue pt3 up being a traverse, after all.

Yes, but ...Actually, that's not what I meant. And if I did, I would have simply asked.Quote from icarus618:

Nothing wrong about taking an advice from somebody who knows what they're doing.Quote from icarus618:
He's been hanging on your every word for months now following your advice ...
I think what that means, at least in my case, is that it's very easy to get lost without a map.Quote from icarus618:

Again, how I annotate has nothing to do with how I 'see' the market. How I annotate has everything to do with how the market tells me to annotate.
'Seeing' the market is binary. One 'sees' it or one does not 'see' it. Most people really have never 'seen' the market.

Charts represent tools traders use to convey information. Only with thorough annotation does the market convey the correct information to the trader.
For example, before 11:00 AM [Eastern Time], the market shows both increasing red and increasing black Volume.

However, since the drawing of trend lines does not represent a subjective science, the market must have conveyed something (some information) indicating the correct method.

Once a trader can see what must come next - on each and every bar (with respect to the sequences which unfold as the market moves from point One to Point Two to Point Three on every fractal); once a trader can see when the market has (on the trader's specific resolution level) when the market has indicated the time has come to look for a possible change in mode; once a trader has the ability to know the subtle differences which often determine the difference between continuation and change, then (and only then) has a trader gained the necessary knowledge, skills and experience to actually trade the signals provided by the market.
The market provides the answers, everyone seeks, first and foremost when the trader has correctly completed the Monitoring phase of the M-A-D-A Process. ...
