Thoughts
Last night I was not tormented by a giddy stream of epiphanies. No leaping out of bed, fumbling with a light switch, and scribbling furiously in case the fleeting awareness squirmed out of my grasp. None of that mental restlessness, thoughts ricocheting inside my head. No, as a testament to wasting the day, I slept soundly. Talk about a skewed reward system!
Fortunately, and perhaps as a result of the subconscious being a little âbacked upâ, it was not a complete loss however. Again, in no particular orderâ¦
Thereâs a reason for the seven cases. Pennants are taped in a particular fashion, because they really do have RTLs and LTLs. A BO of the RTL indicates that a miniature FTT has occurred. Naturally, FTPs represent miniature long traverses, while FBPs represent the opposite.
Taping refreshes from OBs because of two possible scenarios: the first, that a miniature ND traverse has ended, price has BOâd the RTL and resumed in the dominant direction of the larger traverse, or â in the case of OB IBGS bars â that a less miniature ND traverse has ended and a new dominant has been established.
The ES can be traded by hierarchical proxy. Clearly, it can be traded by looking at ES volume alone. It can also be traded on a fine resolution by looking at YM alone. It follows, that the ES can be traded by looking at just YM volume. Jackâs quoted comments regarding S/S above â It is like putting masking tape over all the controls and just feeling the flight.. â clearly indicate the ES can be traded using just S/S. Presumably, it can also be trading using only the DOM. This is powerful stuff. We already have five levels of trading by proxy, and thatâs before even the introduction of tick charts. If each is sufficient in its own right, imagine the subliminal 3D masterpiece that comes of merging the inputs.
I note all observations in red ballpoint pen. Questions written in red are often unconsciously answered by the end of the day. No cryptic clues here, just incisive answers that cut right into the heart of the matter, sometimes so forcefully that an eponymous blood-spatter analyst is required to assess the aftermath.
In the creation of my 1a and 1b classification system, I was inadvertently trading the ES based on the YM. A distinction is necessary between the narrow tapes, and those that are wide or significantly extended. As Squealer might say, âAll tapes are equal, but some tapes are more equal than othersâ. However, it may also be detrimental to overcomplicate things, or to work in reverse order. After all, Iâm sure the sweeps chart was designed for a reason.
Curiously, I find drills more effective when theyâre performed quickly and automatically. For example, hand annotating that one chart nine times in quick succession. Or the fashion in which I annotated the YM charts for the previous drill⦠Blank chart â all red tapes â all black tapes â all laterals â all three-bar volume accelerations â all traverses (looking at the fully annotated ES chart here) â all Gaussians. I believe it was this rapid and automated action that not only accelerated the process, but locked things down, enabling, now, that almost instantaneous annotation of a blank chart in my mindâs eye. Which is why I consider re-annotating all those YM charts a very valuable exercise. Except this time, instead of one chart at a time, I intend to do all ten charts (twenty sheets) in one sequential lot (i.e. annotate 300-400 red tapes then 300-400 black tapes then 100 laterals etc). Then I will review the formerly annotated ES charts to see if Iâve missed any 1b traverses. Iâll then print off the ten days of S/S charts and will be good to go for the AI drills.
Hopefully, it will help me shake the gnawing and abiding feeling that Iâm slacking.
