To create a pt2, which is a BO by nature, volume must do a R2R or a B2B. Each journey from pt1 to pt2 is on a R2R/B2B volume move.
But here is an example where I do not see this applying...or better I'd say where I start to know that I don't know anymore.

As you can see, on bar 5, price shows XR for the first time after 3 XBs in a row. Pt2's' tape made with bar 4 and 5 is outside previous RTL established by previous tape. But, volume is still decreasing. In my mind I hear here : must I include this bar 5 inside the previous combined long tape that began with bar 1 ? And so must I fan that long combined tape ?
With all the work on the gaussians I've done along the last 2 weeks, I feel like the answer could be : at this time, volume sequence has not done what it must do to make appear on price pane what is just happening.
The way I'm beginning to see it is that : just after that moment where I begin to know that I don't know anymore, I see volume increasing. Volume had to increase. It has increased at bar 6. So, maybe the key here is to say : I see price doing something that needs certain volume sequence that is not happening. So, if I want to declare "there's a long fast fractal", volume MUST increase when RTL crosses prior one. So I would get 2 opposite combined (or not) tapes, creating a first FF.
I'm thinking logically on : is the answer market gives me here :"fan until volume increases and completes it sequence, and there declare FF appears on bar 6, as volume shows "with delay" what he HAD to ?
Or is it : to declare a FF appears, volume MUST increase ON that moment where RTL crosses prior one established, so at that moment where a tape crosses with its point 2 the prior RTL, and contradicts it ? And so, if volume increases after, like it's the case here in my example, let's just fan cause if volume does not increase, one must fan and include that tape made here by bar4 and 5..
That's a crucial point cause from here begin problems on P1 when doing VTP for example, and MANY MANY other things depend on this. In fact....almost everything is there.
I've reread the documents Bar-by-bar and the Spyder's Channel Construction PDF doc, thanks a lot for putting those docs back into light. They have constitued a concrete help, as it takes me to my deepest in-comprehensions.
But the point I exposed above, is the one i'm stuck on.
Keeping the work...
