David, thank you for your post.
Frankly, at this point it's moot. I posted during the day in the hopes that, while things were fresh in my mind, some discussion on perspective and mind-set on specific situations could follow.
I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, as I've posted so many questions, one at a time, over the past few weeks that I don't even remember them all. I don't recall any of them being responded to in a substantive manner.
Today, I posted on annotating pt3's and on learning how to correctly draw gaussians before they are completed. The two subjects seem connected in some way. Actually, they must be. But, as I posted earlier today, you can't tell, bar by bar (before the gaussian completes) whether the gaussian is decreasing or increasing volume. Ivob replied, but had nothing to do with my question (and I apogize, that may be due to a typo on the chart snippet). I then replied to Ivo to that effect. So far, all day, no reply. A bunch of other stuff that has nothing to do with this, but no solid reply, not a single word, on gaussians forming, intra-gaussian volume spikes, when to draw, when to correct, how to not get fooled by spike that look for all the world like *2* but aren't, none of this. But plenty on telling me I'm not supposed to be trading, when in fact I never was.
BM... Anyone posting is pointless. You, BM, have to figure out how to answer your own question. Debriefing is all about figuring out where you went wrong. I couldn't answer your earlier question today because my chart was different than yours although I still would have been able to navigate myself to the right side of your chart. However, according to you, my comment would have otherwise been incomplete. Alot of what I do is different than what gets posted here but we usually get to the same set of answers/actions. At some point, I flat out would not allow anyone to answer where I went wrong simply because I had found that I was more than sufficiently able to find out where things had gone awry. Unfortunately, your EQ has left you in a bind. Were I you, I would figure out a way to make sense of what looks like nonsense. However, if your goal is to convert content to programmable logic, you are going to have excruciating difficulty. There are ways around the obstacles that you see as unpassable. Take for example, PRV noise, you can actually get rid of the noise before the bar has even started... How do I know this? Because I asked the very same question to myself. The answer took me two weeks to sort out and realize. Again, without bread and butter, none of this is going to sink in. It is clear that you are frustrated. How do you cure frustration. You focus on something that works for you. However, I know what your criteria for "works" is and for BM, this may be a conflict... These are questions that should have been raised months ago and in accordance with the syllabus. BM, start debriefing. You have the answers! If you don't think you do, then you are missing a critical part of this process. What if ET and it's many aliases blowup? How would you step forward then? So you have to figure out how to stop digging a deeper hole....
