Quote from Wi!s0n:
The confirmation bar is the 1st bar that breaks BELOW (in this case) last support "pivot". The entry is the open of the next bar (or close of confirmation bar, same thing)
You must look c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y at Bill's example.
I squish my 343 chart up so look first at chart 1a. Then look at chart 1b. You must be trading from weakness not strength. Bottom line , price was making higher highs and higher lows.

Why exactly was the bar marked in Orange and black line not the first PF bar and signal to short?.
Wilson, Prof, anybody.
TIA.

) but actual trade happens when 766.25/766.50 is broken to the downside (confirmation of price failure . . .)Quote from Wi!s0n:
Prof waited until the 2401 histo turned black, then looked for a pf to enter. Although I can't speak for him, it is obvious to me he is pointing to the pf, not the confirmation bar where he entered. My previous posts showed a confirmation bar below the HL with a subsequent entry. Your orange square was a pf but but not THE pf. Again, you are shorting when the market is making higher highs. Where Prof and I short, the market is clearly making lower lows and lower highs (pf).
Below is the way I understand pf's, the more important lesson is when to use them. Since Prof's image is now public I suppose, this is the one I have on my office wall.
