Your logic makes sense to me.
There are descriptive texts of the above EE's. The info is scattered among the threads focused on the RDBMS.
@tiddlywinks usually has fingertip access to them.
In my awareness when Jack described the 56 unique elements of the Market's System of Operation it was before adding PP4a and PP5b. I interpret this in the light of RDBMS as an adaptable and resilient methodology.
This explains why there is not a verbal description of these EE, but only a boolean one.
All the EE's are important to provide a complete system for they describe a specific PV context coupled with annotating price geometry and logging. When integrated they inform whether continue is present or change is due. I interpret PVT, SCT, RDBMS, SSR as a highly precise descriptive language of how the markets operate. They all interlock.
From my understanding this is not only correct, but the trader who deploys PEP should do so in that order.
However in terms of learning and applying the system/s, for me it is useful to prioritize and exclude components in favor of increasing my comprehension for the component that I am focusing upon.
Same here, I did not use PVT, but I do know how to do it should the mood strike me.
For example, my logging of turns are currently based upon relative bar volume and not currently coupled to EE's like Jack has on his charts. However it's not a big logical leap to use this understanding to distinguish Dom/non-Dom trend segments defined by EE's.
For me learning the EE and what to do with them was huge for me in that Jack's system did make a good portion of my position management mechanical. I use the turns also, it was amazing at first to just know what to do next all of the time.
The EE's define the end's of trend segments. Whether the new assigned P1 is a continuation or change of trend (without the Modrian and Move Reversal sheets) sometimes needs the T1 to lock-in to get clear confirmation on direction.
One could just scalp and be successful with the method, however for me my personal grail is hold/reverse trading on the 5m at scale. There is still some logic for me to work through, however the majority of my current work is an emotional journey. I'm exploring how good and easy can I allow it to be. Like most folks indoctrinated in an pain-oriented culture instilled with a hard-work and no pain no gain work ethic, there have been unsupportive beliefs and resulting emotional blocks to ease, grace and natural well-being similar to the shells of an onion that I've had to and continue to work through.
I can agree with having to change the mindset and just know that you know. It is interesting to note that I stopped looking at my profit loss statements, knowing that I would be in the black at the end of the week, it was just a question of by what amount the market would give. I am in the pay it forward phase now. Somewhere along the line I lost my desire to be rich. It turns out that I simply wanted to play the game. Strangest thing.
