pretty sure i understand, hearing that sweet accent is always nice, though. the 72(s) isnt seen after the fact, but during live action, there was "what i thought" a setup. Mkt made a new low at 73, then the next bar closed at 81, giving us our pb. the next bar had a low of 69, but closed at 87. it got u in the trade, but closed in such a way, that the setup cant be seen after the fact.

I always benefit from a webinar... even when I think I know something pretty well, I learn something new...

heres a chart explaining what I mean. we need to wait for line closes to show us patterns. I know sometimes we get pattern and it nips us in then goes the other way and they can be verified

as long as you recognize whats going on you will get most to all these trades. its a little difficult trying to explain the small little things I see before I put on a trade I hope I have explained them clearly. Erasmus on a good note market is filled with plenty of volume there will be more of this days till it settles down and you will capitalize on it

looking back at following signals from aug 28: the first one is a clear get back into trend 123 signal, however 2nd signal is not clear to me as it is not a ll (i.e. the ll of the 2nd signal doesn't break the ll of the first signal):

or does it just have to break the previous hl:
