U “OR” GATING NODE
Use U to GATE R or S depending upon DOJI or non DOJI circumstance.
DOJI goes to N.
Non DOJI goes to feedback box AFTER lock in W.
According to the MADA doc, U is a choice node, and N and W and the choices.
STOP.
I just thought about something right now. At the beginning, when I entered into FCC1, I thought in each column I had to find every possibility of surge (for both P and V) for the given bar I was at. I’ve DDd this is partly true. I see right now, J, K and N as the nodes that are those at which arrive in any given value of n so at any moment of any bar. Effectively, Any bar can at any moment see its PRV fall below prior bar, and this would be J ; or it can more precisely fall below prior volume bar AND its color could change. By the way, I notice here I could DD that there would be non difference between seeing PRV fall below prior w/ no volume change and being at J node. Maybe that’s implicit in J node. The other case (falling PRV w/ color change) would be K.
Back to U node.
So we use U (that takes us to either doji test or W) to gate to R/S depending upon Doji or non Doji circumstances. Rephrased : if doji is there, we use U to gate to N if doji happens ;if not, we choose either R or S.
And then, if no Doji appears, the other option for U is effectively W, which is what confirms the text. The box we’d use then for feedback towards Q is Y.
V “OR” NODE
Pass through V going from S.
Choose U to GATE to N when a DOJI occurs. U can also GATE to the feedback box Y when a doji doe NOT occur.
Remain in S when volume is not peaking but is maintaining above the prior trough.
T was a « choice node » that we pass through when going from R.
Here I see V node is a choice node that we pass trough, but when coming from S.
What is the difference between R and S ? R is increasing volume move w/ same color. While S is increasing move above prior trough. But I’ve learned this is maybe unprecise being as in the Ex Sc Thread I’ve seen volume doesn’t necessarily need to peak for being at S. We only need volume not to be below prior trough AND to have the same color as the trough in question. So, any volume level at this step of the path being above prior trough and with the same color would be both R and S, but more like an S. A peak volume here could also be. And if it’s the same color as prior bar, that would be R. Then what if the bar was peaking above prior w/ change of color ? I don’t know atm.
So V is a choice node and we pass through it when we come from the sandwich node. MADA doc states V is a choice node, at which X and U are the choices. At X we exit. At U we choose between N and W. N is in the case of doji surge while W is for lock in. Once again : what if volume falls below prior w/ same color ? J ; what if same volume move but color changes ? K.
U can gate to N if doji occurs ; if doji does not occur, we choose W. This means if doji does not happen, then W must happen ? …strange.
In the end, if volume is not peaking but remains above prior trough, we stay at S. So this would reduce the possibility of taking the path to J or K. It would be then here :
- If volume falls below prior w/ same color AND under prior trough : J
- If volume falls below prior w/ color change AND under prior trough : K
- If volumes falls below prior BUT remains above prior trough whatever the color is : S
S seems to look like N, but for volume.
Not feeling great with that node.
W Lock In NODE
Sit at W when R or S volume exceeds the prior bar volume.
Hold through end of bar and proceed to feedback to Q VIA feedback box Y.
There are nodes that I do not like atm. W is not part of these. I feel comfortable with it. I see like a kind of « L2 » or like « L node for n+2 column ». In the MADA doc I learn that W is the lock in apperance for an R or S type. We hold until EOB. And then, as I see it : two possibilities : either doji happens, then we go to N, or it does not and we meet lock in and then we’d go to Y feedback to Q and choos R/S again.
“X” EXIT NODE
“X” is the post peaking volume condition on any dominant trend.
Arrive at “X” when any ENTER or HOLD node fails
OR
Arrive at “X” when the DOJI PASSES but fails to remain a dominant bar.
It’s not hate, but I don’t like this node ^^. I put some hope into the following study of it. I’d like it to be my friend, like any other node.
Ok, end of humor.
X is the exit node. Let me explain why I don’t like this node.
By definition, as seen in the 3x5 cards, X is the exit node. FCC1 is for taking Dom segments. So we want to enter at the end of each non-Dom, hold, exit when Dom ends IF non-Dom follows, and reverse when Dom ends to be followed by opposite Dom. It reminds me Set A for example. So, synthesis : when do we exit in FCC1 ? When non-Dom arrives. In terms of node, which node is for exiting ? X. Ok, so far, good. Now, which nodes have I seen to predate X ? from memory, J and K.
And what are J and K aluding to ? Non-Dom situations. So what do we do on J or K ? We go to X, so we exit. It looks good. Yes it does. BUT, in the MADA doc I can read : X is a point where either J or K type failure occurs.
I remember I have already mentionned, maybe shelled this crux. As I understand it, J and K are non-Dom cases, generally speaking (the crux may come from the generally word). So if these nodes fail to occur, it means non-Dom fail to occur, so Dom occurs.
Before exposing what I’m sensing new now, let’s pursue the study of the text about X node.
As I can read, X is the post volume peaking condition on any dominant trend. Rephrased : X is when volume stops peaking so decreases and begins its road towards trough. So this is the nature of Non-Dom move. Thus why we exit when this happens.
In addition, we arrive at X when any Enter or Hold node fails. This reminds me, logically, J/K, H, NotL nodes.
OR
We can arrive at X when doji passes but fails to remain a dominant bar. Rephrased : we exit when M happens THEN when N test passes AND if volume drops below prior. This situation, as I see it for now, would describe the failure to Dom-Dom surge on intrabar. Otherwise, I think for now (I’ve not shelled enough N node) we would reverse being as inside a given bar we’d pass from a Dom to the opposite Dom move. Being here in FCC1 to only take Dom segments, two segments would be there to be profited.
Before advancing to the next 2+1 (+1 = N node) node study, I need to expose why I see the « J or K type failure » slightly different compared to..how I saw it along last days. First, I know that JH sometimes makes typos. It is possible that this is a typo and that the true sentence was : X is when J or K type occurs.
Or, maybe, and it’s the last option I see for now : maybe X would cover the surge of « NotJ » AND « Not K » cases. In other words : non-Dom w/ same color. This would mirror the passage from Dom to Dom opposite color. Here, it would be the passage from Dom to non-Dom same color.
After rereading what I just wrote, It still causes dissonance to me for now. I need to rest.
Y Feedback Box
Arrive at the feedback box when a dominant trend exceeds three bars including the trough starting point.
Proceed to Q the select R or S on the open of the next bar.
There is nothing I can say about this node except the way I understand it looks clear to me AND that one can find where my comprehension of it comes, by reading this and prior recent posts.
Z GATE NODE
Z distributes the PASS of A DOGI IBGS bar price test .
In cycle 1, this is the ONLY price measurement. A color change has occurred on the test so a reversal trade results.
A reversal is two trades (exit and enter in opposite direction) or a double contract value exit.
According to MADA doc, Z is for when N test passes. We are then at Z, which is a choice node : either X so we exit, or E. I must say that this flow provides me a confirmation of what I don’t know if it’s a nice Aha for the FCC1, and what I’m referring to is that I have noticed that we can be sent from a node to another that does not pertain to the column we were in. In the case that we’re in n +2 for example, let’s say we choose R and doji appears. Fromm y current LOU, wAccording to MADA doc, Z is for when N test passes. We are then at Z, which is a choice node : either X so we exit, or E. I must say that this flow provides me a confirmation of what I don’t know if it’s a nice Aha for the FCC1, and what I’m referring to is that I have noticed that we can be sent from a node to another that does not pertain to the column we were in. In the case that we’re in n +2 for example, let’s say we choose R and doji appears. Fromm y current LOU, we’d be sent to N, and if it passes, we’d be possibly sent to E which is in the n+1 column. It is confirmed anyway by the text in the corner formed by the feedback loop conecting E node and IBGS box on FCC1.
At E we’d choose F or G.
All this looks congruent so far with the first statement of the Z node text in the 3x5 : Z distributes the pass of a doji IBGS bar price test.
Then, I learn that in cycle 1, the doji = N test is the only price measurement. The way it is said makes me think I’ll find more price measurements in the next cycles. I’ll surely quote this sentence is the future either to confirm or infirm it.
Finally, a reversal is two trades (exit and enter in opposite direction) or a double contract value exit.
And I don’t understand for now this last information.
N DOJI IBGS test box.
Arrive at N VIA M before or after lock in of bar n +1.
OR
Arrive at N coming from U VIA T or V which come from R and S.
Perform DOJI test as PASS when price has moved through or beyond the open of the bar. PASS feeds back goes to “X” for an EXIT J or K IF and WHEN non dominance results.
Under bar dominance feedback to E VIA P occurs and F or G is selected immediately as an n+1 bar.
Perform DOJI test as FAIL when price does NOT move through or beyond the open of the bar. FAIL
Let’s end this node. It’s the core node. The node of all nodes.
I’ve passed on the first statement.
What does the second say ? Arrive at N coming from U via T or V which come from R or S.
So when we’re at Q, we choose R/S. During R/S type, IF I’VE MADE PROPERLY THE CORRECTION ON THE MADA DOC AS NEEDED, we hold for
V for (J/K) at X or U. If I remember correctly, I’ve already discussed the way of understanding this as :
We hold for V for J/K at (X or U)
OR
We hold for (V for J/K) or for (U).
At the moment, I feel overwhelmed a bit unfortunately. All the goal here is to manage, piece by piece, to put the nodes inside LTM, which is already happening greatly to me but it’s sometimes hard to nest everything in one stone that is ready to provide the suitable answer. All the matter is to manage to gather and link everything at the same time in mind and…atm I’m a bit tired so I won’t be able to DD much more about it.
My understanding of the next two statements is that : when a doji test happens, two options are possible. Either it passes or it fails. And for each case, either volume could be Dom or non Dom.
If N test passes AND volume is non-Dom, then it takes one to A via J/K through X.
If N test passes AND volume is Dom : feedback to E and select F or G immediately the bar as a n+1 (new confirmation my new understanding has trueness). I see this situation as Dom swiches. This makes me think about reverse.
If N test fails AND volume is Dom : according to the FCC1 feedback loop, via P we go to E too. I’d have rather said that this is the signal of Dom is still here so we Hold.
If N test fails and volume is Non Dom : I’d say same result as N test passs/vol non-Dom : exit to A via J/K through X.
I would have loved to keep on working but I’m done for today.
Tomorrow will be dedicated to
study on the FCC1 at the light of :
- Possible paths encountered in JH’s xSc thread’s posts
- Possible paths exposed in last Sprout’s post
- Impossible paths exposed in both sources
- The cycle 1 for kids found in ExSc thread
Best wishes to everyone.
