The Whipsaw SongQuote from jack hershey:
There are five single bar price patterns: Continue, end of continue, no trend, beginning of continue, and spike. You posted the long and short continue and the no trend (doji).
So the first thing a potential learner learns is how to use these five individual proce patterns. Hee learns how to do a complete trend, how to not trader until AFTER and end of trend and how to begin a hold at the beginning of a trend.
What helps him out in these matters? Volume leads price.
You are an example of a person observing markets as a pre beginner. Most people are like you so do not dispair.
So far you have concluded I am full of shit.
This is a common error made by pre beginners. Their basis of judgement is very sparse and often a result of a poor upbringing. See if you can remember if your dad said to shoot your mouth off as he does. See if you can remember if your mom said to be seen and not heard.
Here is what you failed to learn anywhere you could have been found.
Bars are not usually judged individually.
Since you still do this, I am interceding on your behalf with some more shit that I am full of.
Try for a short period to look at adjacent bars. Call them bar 1 and bar 2.
Volume is changing according to its relationship to the prior bar. Since one of my shittiest inventions is PRV, anyone can know almost imediately at the beginning of a 5 minute bar what the final volume will be. It is shown as a shadow behind the actual forming volume.
By knowing ahead of time, you can plan on doing an intrabar trade when price hits its extreme by using one of my more than 10 shitty price indicators. Thus you can carve turns to the tick at the change moment of any trend. Notice that you can draw the five individual bars and always see the bar that depicts the intrabar momnet of change.
There are many many things that I have never spoken of. They are an order of magnitude more shitty than the shitty things you currently misunderstand.
The gerunds of the paradigm's HS use MS's that deal with the adjacency mentioned in the HS's. As any fifth grader who is studying logic theory and paradigm theory and fractal theory.
A gerund is designated in a language. All gerunds are easily recognized. Their last letter is "g"; the next to last letter is "n"; and the next to next last letter is "i". If you knew more about adjacency, I could explain a gerund more easily.
