My chart for the morning.

-5 points.

I traded everything I thought I understood but I find it impossible to make a profit today. A few times I was up a number of points but then gave it all away while the FTT was being formed. Will move to realtrading when I have 3 weeks of profit every day so starting from zero again as of tomorrow.

regards,
Ivo

For creating channel, on the ym for instance, the 11:26 bar is certainly a volitility expansion and therefore zero cahnce of being a FTT. But can this bar still be used for pt 1 of a down channel? Or must we start the channel off the true FTT at 11:28

You can use either method to begin creation of a channel in the opposite direction of the current trend. Sometimes the Bar which creates the volatility expansion makes better sense to use. other times, the FTT bar makes better sense.

Thank you. So there is no hard and set rule against using volitility expansion bars to create channels, just making sure.

When we compare a new high or same high within a channel, what volume do we compare the most current new high/same high to? An example would be todays ES 13:45 bar has nice black vol (after we BO'ed the down channel). Next two bars are decreasing red bars (same highs though). Then ES comes back up again and 14:10 bar comes back up and closes with inc black vol. However, I am unsure whether I compare this highs test (14:10) with the 13:45 bar or do I compare it to the 13:55 red bar. It seems to make a difference to me as one comparison shows 14:10 bars test of the high to be on less black vol, but if I compare it to the 13:55 bar It seems like this is bullish as the volume is greater.

Thanks again for all the words of wisdom :)

Hi,

Today I had some dificulties with gaussians... :(

In times of CCC I always have some doubt in considering the all CCC block as "dec" or "incr" or to consider one bar a "dec" the other "inc" and the following "dec" and the following "incr"...and so on...

Can someone give some help here please?

Thanks,
Pedro
