part II
4. Hooray for excellent questions.
your Q's form a series. So I am using the prior Q to segway into the next Q.
not many people gat their minds to raise these Q's. So this is black diamond territory. By using nested fractals, we know that we know on three fractals. Our trading fractal is always the middle fractal.
On illustration 12 we annotated (orange) the accelerated RTL and it was fanned as well, susequently. IBGS's occur on BO's ot RTLS a lot of the time.
Drill
1. use 1600 bars to do steps 6 through 9 of a prior drill series to make a 3d mountain of OB's and add it to the other internal stack you have alrady built.
If you find yourelf asking this Q when you have gone long on an FTT, sideline and take care of business for a while until you have completed a few fast fractal paterns. Personally, I DO THIS MYSELF.
One the other hand keep making the effort to have the context down cold. All of this is in a shadow from a few bars back. as previously asked, what happens in a shadow of a lateral? One thing is: no money is made.
we do not take on risk in SCT. Risk neutral is called "Knowing that you know".
We are fanning on the rtl of the fast fractal all the time during this interval. this is an expression of shortness. we DO NOT make reference to our buy price on annotating. We do not have targets for profits either.
What we do have is knowing that we know.
I feel we are very very lucky to have this Q on the table and since it is we get to relish handling it to get to wher we need to be on I Market and IV Making Money.
I suggest to traders to use midday to practise wash trades. this is like the goalie function in sports. Terrible thought: I played goalie in Lacrosse and in soccer. goalies do NOT win games. Goalies prevent their teams from ever losing.
During expansion, we see formations changing and patterns operationg on sub fast fractals. we have fine level tools that ooperate all the way down to the granularity. we have all bases covered for each practisedskill level. thank god for market granulartiy and thefact that it cannot be eliminated for financial reasons. This is a QED thing.
The wash trade is a pragmaticthing that is caused by not jumping to a faster fractal to trade within the envelope of the fractal one trades. One could jump fractalsand do the deeds to keep making money. It is a bad habit up to a certain point, but with supreme skill anything is possible. Look at the rate of compounding on the gold print posted here. 25K on 10k is a nice rate that shows full time trading is defined ans not taking the market's offer. One does not have to trade full time to meet any life style level of want or need.
A wash tradesimply takes a portion of the day out of the trading picture. the cause of the wash trade is being "on the wrong side ofthe market" AND it is coupled with the trader's input to him form the market that he does not know that he knows.
So, when is a fast fractal possible to draw coming off the FTT we determined? As you see a multi bar internal is there for succeeding bars as the fanning of the fast fractal rtl in red is going on. We get to the stitch after the OB and still cannot compose an rtl for a fast fractal long. the formation is still a sym which has to be treated as one bar even though it is many bars in duration.
We are arriving as to what a lateral is and why it became part of the infinite (finite really) scheme of things. the ninth case. In literature often two couples are in conflict and a fifth character comes into the balance of things to play a third theme. A Canadian author made this a real deal. The "twilight" series author is 36 and has an annual income of 50 million, she lives in Cave Creek ,AZ by choice.
so you see the shadow of the stitch formed lateral is approaching its limit (this is a math term) of the geometric shape of a horizontal parallelogram. this parallelogram case is required for completeness of the paradigm's logical development.
Notice your mind has raised these questions because of its superb capabilityof putting the pieces together. you are painting the stokes to complete a picture. we all get to experience this richness as our pallette becomes complete.
for I Market we add a page about laterals and how and why they work in the context of nested fractals. why didn't Lo consider the saucer formation in his formation research? Mental limitations of his team and their lack of familiarity with market logic and functions. These are NOT black diamond skiers in any way.
for IV Making Money we add a page called wash trades.
Note to experts: in laterals you trade the change of dominance and you use the DOM walls to show the lateral limits and you use Dominance on the 2 pairs of the OTR. In ES you are told the shift by the S/S in advance.
5. we log to discern these things. I went through the stitch order of events for both cases previously in this thread. How a plaform handles this is difficult to deal with. when you call technical services to get then to assign programmers to corecting this it is like dealing with Lo at MIT; they do not knowwhat you are taliking about. Some changes to platforms can take five years to get done. Platforms compete and do not deal with excellence. One of the most humorous is Peak trading a sub of Rosenthal Collins.
I point out such platform failures just as a consequnce of my sensitivity. Look at the cave man level of french fries choice of platforms. also lok at the thread length of the software thread on additions of snippets and scripts. there you see additions for almost all platforms that can handle modifications. you also see the origins of platform inovations like no other place in the world. Automatic degapping is now a reality. It took one long time to get it into various libraries.
Consider that you CAN log the order of events all the way down to the granulatiy of the markets. this makes it possible to see and understand the size of the market's continuing offer. If a student makes it through geometry he can wipe any PhD quant on any trading floor anywhere.
6. Ahhh yes this is more than an aha or an AHA; it is a religious ecperience. we see change of dominance on all levels all the way down to the OTR smallet granularity. we see this as a nested phenomena with the one pattern of the markets. All trands, no matte how fine deductively are dom, non dom, dom. a traid of dominance. you build from these interlocking relations of fractals with certainty and sufficiency.
Summary.
the mind is a wonderful thing. It loves to grow and will grow throughout your lives. the subconsious does the preponderance of the owrk. At some point you will recognize that you know that you know before you consciously can write down the basis and complete expression of your thoughts. for me personally, I like thedaily experience of answering questions. I have a reasourse where the answers are kept. Anyone cah have this resourse subject to some limitations of bad prior decisions that lead to incorrect beliefs.
I am not giving you long answers. your questions come from the desire of your mind to further organize what you know you know.
We only did 30 to 40 bars here to et to this point. Looking years ahead all plaforms will become more and more supportive of how the market works. You are participating in the paradigm shift that will occur in your generation (my definition of generation).
Quote from jack hershey:
Here is an annotated chart on the fast fractal level
There is a volume move for each ftt to ftt period.
