Put aside the carryover for now. Start with the opening bar as bar1. When you get to the point to do the carryover, bar1 will still be bar1 but it’ll be compared to the previous day’s settlement bar81.
So bar1 is P1, pt1, with BM short and in addition to your tapes of the prices cases also has a TL where pt3 fans to include bars where as the price cases accrue as long as the form and sentiment are congruent.
This can continue for many bars or just a single bar or anything in between. As you compare the form and sentiment to the TL, sometimes it’s clear the TL remains intact and other times it requires thinking. Your work on your great matrix did a lot of this thinking. Sometimes it makes sense to fan the TL, other times to accelerate the TL. Sometimes the TL is XO’d and a new trend segment is underway.
Whenever an EE gets ID’d, then the volume element OOE starts at P1 on that bar if FS or possibly the next bar depending on which Band. Refer to the documentation.
So in your annotation, PP6 could only be if a FS didn’t occur. Since you logged a FS; BO,T1 then it also resets the volume element OOE and gets an assigned P1 for a new trend by definition has begun.
If there was no XO of the TL, then yes 3 T1’s in a row is a PP6.
Internals with decreasing volume:
If a bar is not measured than that is what that means, it is not measured. The exception is if a Retro gets activated on bar4 of a lat. Then as per Retro one goes back and measure bars that were not measured. This can change the measured bars that came after bars that were initially not measured. There is a column on the log where this is performed when activated.
FS is always running in the background and will take precedence above all else, even on non-measured internals.
Whenever you locate a EE, place a BM. For an EE resets the volume elements at the beginning which is a P1. Some bands do it on the next bar after the EE ID bar. I also place a BM there as well.
FS are a special type of EE.
Start again at bar1 with the above in mind and take a clearer pic of your log.


and strange Keeping all this in mind is a challenge !
By the way, I understand in the deep sense, what " make a visual catalog of EE" means now.
I'm currently building it from the documentation I printed.
Effectively, since I have those docs on a paper, it has nothing to see anymore. Although as you're about to see, my log is surely mostly erroneous, I don't feel any anger, frustration or total perdition anymore while trying to do it.
Like if, hop !, it all vanished to let space to... a simple additional exercise.
Quite strange.
BUT... you had warned me about this @Sprout and one more time (and that's very encouraging !) you were right

Thanks a lot. I'm trying now to build my EE catalog and keeping on trying to fill the log.
It is today after a more than one year struggling that I manage to start it.
It was unconscious, but I did everything I could to avoid this exercise, which NOW, begins to become the most fun to perform. I could not see this before, that I was avoiding it. It's only now I begin honestly to try to perform it that I see how much I was not REALLY trying to do it. This deals with the fact that I had not understood the whole move that links VTP, EE, turns, trends types and action to take, together. I could not understand this, it was blocked in my mind. So I was only working on the peripheric work that is also a very good one, but it's not the core. This lasted until no periphery exists. It's today for me.
SO, and this is the most important to me to tell you @Sprout : congratulations and thank you for the out-of-this-world PATIENCE you have demonstrated so far. I have already said it to you in the past, but it takes all its importance and truth today.
I think you had some anger and frustration times along the past year constatating my uncapacity to ENTER into the process. You surely had to remember many times your own hard experience of "ok I can't even get up of my bed anymore", to not let yourself send me to hell
Thus you force to respect and humbleness, and I give you a sincer thank you for that. It's a bit of amazing to be honest.
I'm feeling like "I don't care about the errors on my log, they each constitue a step more towards the truth". I was afraid by the error. And I had said, fear of error is fear of the truth.
Today, I "love" my errors.
Both euphoriantand strange
feelings right now.
Put ID’ing the turns on hold for now and fill in the EE column’s with the respective FS’s.

I do !As you see and the log shows there are times when FS EE’s are quite plentiful.
Sure, I have everything in mind except willing to do that in real time. It's way way to early. Thank youBest to do your current work on past charts and not worry about doing it in real-time yet. You’ll be able to make faster progress that way.
Thanks a lot to say it !Very good work, and an excellent milestone achieved !
I'm really satisfied and knowing there is more work to do is a great feelingAlthough there is more work ahead, there is plenty to feel satisfied about right now.
!At least I managed to make the teacher happy about and for the student once in a year, that's encouraging and true happiness for me too @Sprout . Wish you the best, you deserve itI feel very happy for you, congrats!
Keeping all this in mind is a challenge !
Could it be helpful to make step-by-step instructions for yourself for one or more levels of processing, to follow and commit to LTM. Together with EE mapping or other visuals, it could train your mind while doing the annotations and logs.

Your annotations and logs are work in progress. Will it be helpful if you continue annotating and logging from where you ended, and continue the same charts. Fix or leave the errors be and move on, but keep continuing the same chart?
You are allowed to play and experiment, as long as you MADA and go back to the definitions when you start straying a bit (we all do!).
Today, I "love" my errors.
Each error is a point in iterative refinement. Sometimes you rollback, and other times you commit before rollback a larger transaction!![]()
Wow, this was huge. I believe you and I understand what is said here; I'm happy to be part of the process and to push myself towards the possibility of being able one day to feel it's my turn to pass it forward.Your diligence, perseverance and work ethic are inspirational. The work that you have done and shared are signposts for others behind you whom take up the journey of truly ‘seeing’ a market.
If it weren’t for folks like you before me, I wouldn’t have had enough clues to put it all together for myself.
