If I am not mistaken, you have decreasing red gaussian drawn from 10:40 bar to 11:25 bar. Which is how one annotates a non-dominant portion of up traverse.
In which case it also means that you propose the 10:40 bar to be a point 2 in the up traverse.
So, where's the point 1 of the up traverse then?

The market 'fanned' out on the way down, so it had to do the same on the way up.
Also, if one thought that 11:30 to 12:10 was a 5 min ES level traverse - where would one put B2B (specifically the rising 2nd B of B2B) under that assumption? Which is another way of saying what ehorn already said to you.
In other words, it seems that correctly annotated chart does hold all the answers. I consider it somewhat freaky![]()
If that's the case then the red decreasing gaussian cannot end at point 1, otherwise we end up with point 1 being at the trough of R\/B - which is an impossibility.Quote from charts:

Agreed.Quote from charts:

If your first level gaussians are the ones located below the second level gaussians, then I still can't see the B2B trough - you have increasing red gaussian coming from 11:15 bar and ending at 11:20 bar ....Quote from charts:

And since I am not familiar with this particular way of drawing the gaussians - you are absolutely correct - my interpretation can't be applied there.... this situation is an example where the market action is almost right in between resolutions, so if you watch the 5 min chart you see the pt1 in one position, but if you watch the 15 min chart you see it in a different position (longer than half an hour earlier, in this situation the absolute FTT) ... interestingly, in both situations you end up reversing at about same price levelQuote from romanus:
