Quote from Daring:
I notice you annotate every inside and outside bar in the chart.
What are the rules on volume when applied to these inside and outside bar breakouts ?
I'm glad you see that there are rules associated with price that control (kill of gate) the leading volume measurements.
you picked two jey items to begin to learn how the system of the market works.
All inside formations have the same rules. The first bar is always processed. the second or sunsequence bar(s) is NOT processed if smaller in volume than the first. If NOT, then it is processed.
For out side bars, they count as two bars in a trends sequence. THe first value is done as usual. The second value is simple: it is the NEXT value in the trend sequence.
For all bar determinations there is a single test procedure. It has three parts:
!. you chaeck for a "repeat".
2. You check in a reverse chrone for a prior occurrance (with some kills for some answers)
3. You move to the NEXT element in the Order Of Events of the trend if items one and two are false. (See "The Pattern")
Everything in market system analysis is a binary vector anlysis. This means, based on the exisiting granularity of every market variable, there are just a few tasks to always "know that you know."
What it is that does not permit others to do this in any way so far is simply their lack of work in using ordinary deductive skills.
Proof of this lack of determination is found in gaming and IT examples provided by peoplle like Larry Smarrand Jane McGonigal who work theturf of gaming and problem solving. See 06OCT 12 appreanace and discussion and Q and A.
I would guess you used my anotated snippet and found some volume bars were not annotated and some jumped ahead (outside bar). The pattern gives you the rest of the five entwined OOE's that work together.
As you say I am evil and shouldn't be allowed here in ET. I spent the time to figure out the market operating system. I showed trades and made the point that the OP did not have a basis for his substantive statement. It is worth heeding my advice even if you judge that I am evil.
