Making JH' SCT and all his material alive

I will confine my comments to the topic of Laterals. Laterals are always a point of confusion, me included.

Lats are containers, of a different breed. The big question of a Lat (IMO) is whether the Lat container is...
1) a sideways "substitute" or "run-way" for what "should" be an upsloped or downsloped container, thereby making the Lat an overlap or ftt of sorts.
_or_
2) a sideways walk foretelling continuation of a larger container. This might involve a fanning of a larger container to encompass the Lat, if/as/when appropriate.

Lats by nature, are comprised of FFs. JH stated more than once that a Lat is either tradable or it is not. Obviously wider is better, but wider also offers more FFs, not necessarily only one FF. Rethink the previous paragraph... is this Lat a "substitute" or just a sideways walk? The answer may give passage to being tradable or not. Beyond that, FF's are not the prescribed trading fractal, so sidelining or holding through a Lat are both acceptable within the JH teachings. If confused, sideline.

Since the Lat is comprised of one or more FFs, volume needs to viewed differently.
Below is how I see the "visual fractal" gaussian, which is not necessarily the prescribed trading fractal. It is not precise, and I did not deal with containers.

HTH, but if it only confuses, I understand and please just disregard.

Nice points. I tried to incorporate lats as prescribed, though ended up more confused and didnt see all the meaning yet. It has to make sense.

Lat is like one squished bar on a tf. On higher tf it is like ib. On lower it will cease to exist and translate. Jh recommended bm for lat not rtls, follow sentiment. Most charts on et are fluid pa, but sometimes very high vola gives very wide lats and lats within lats. Sometimes lats are cont othertimes change. Sometimes volume is clear, othertimes price may just start drifting to bo.

It's enough to make one think it all illusion. But need to put all clues together. See all charts as unique.

baro: Do you have links or reference that can show clarifications?

I tmakes sense and helps, yes, thank you very much. Although i'm confused with your gaussians, the text you wrote about Lats is providing some susbtance. Thank you for that :)

If I may ... why don't you use the volume coloring that Jack and Spydertrader recommended?
Holly YES you can ! :) Feel free to interact as often as you want in the subject, any participation constitutes in itself a huge help. Now for volume color, of you talk about the fact I put INC in green and not black, its because of my background color. If I put it in light or close to white, it kills my eyes that have already lost some of their capacity along thousands of hours in front of the computer.. but, does it change something ? if yes, what please ? cause i wanna do things how they need to be.

Just a general point of view to have in life. If not applicable, no worries!
Ok
 
Beginning the session on the right and back to the basics on the left...

Approaching the end of session. The quite thick dash white lines are the next TF expected. As its pt2 XO previous short SF's RTL, maybe it'll be fanned, maybe it'll create in the future days a new long SF.
For volume, I only focused on the gaussians. The quality of that chart is globally very very poor. I mostly reread JH's posts today.

Hope all of you are experiencing nice iterative refinement and nice moments in your life; wish you all the best.

This ancient post is right on topic! Very well spotted!
Though, "peak" is not always MAX. MAX may be well into the PA "soup".
Also, DU can be both cont and change, depending on context.

If you start with price, as in the next post, you have a firm baseline for "being on the right side of the market".
Maybe gaussians provide more context, not sure how they're used for WMCN and WWT.

RDBMS is relative. So go from absolute ideas to relativity.

Not sure how your long term (thick) lines are built up from shorter-term lines?
Wish you all the best too!

that is great :)

WMCN = What must come next

WWT = ??

great too :)

yes they are. After ID two (expanded) contradictory tapes, I built with the thinest lines the FF corresponfing; then after IDing another contradictory (compared to the first one IDed) FF, I built with a thicker line my TF and so on until SF. The thickest lines are my longest terme envelope, so SFs. As I noticed it, it's rare (with my poor level of understanding) to see a unique day of RTH making appear a SF. So it took me several days to get it as follows. i've celaned it up a bit so you may see better how I did built my Fractals. HTH you to provide clarity in my constructionn, which is, I know, a really poor one one more time.

@Simples , thank you for your kinds words ! :)
