Very inspiring, grkbear! I'd never be so brash as to ask the secret as that is something we must learn ourselves, but I would love to know how you treated your vhands sessions so I can follow in your footsteps. For example, did you actually trade ...

Ah that makes perfect sense, thank you. Since you were looking for shorts though I would think you would have got in short the first time it left the DZ to the short side, as you had no idea yet that it would get held up at the "?"...would have been ...

Hi Islander trying to understand how ifibs work...when price first entered the DZ and failed to break the 50%, why didn't you go long on the exit of the DZ as per your rules? I believe you would have been stopped out on that trade...unless I am ...

Hmm Dagoods you seem to have learned how to be mysterious from the master himself. Seriously though, are you implying that we should not bother with daily and weekly high and lows? Focus purely on the swings?

This is very good info, thanks! This is one of the most helpful posts in this entire thread, IMHO. We would all do well to adopt your scientific approach in our testing. I hope I can uncover some info this useful to help you and everyone else out. ...

Original inner levels or current ones? — Here is an interesting question. When we have a fib going and it gets broken, do we continue to use the original inner levels or do we update with the new high or low? This is strictly for determining ...

Agreed. I always love checking out Islander's charts. Skunny started this thread so we could figure things out ourselves, and trying new things is how we do that. Since we only know 1% of what Skunny does, how can we be sure of what is relevant and ...

Hi Seb we were referring to what TF constitutes an official break as opposed to just a penetration of support/resistance. By the way PiprPro thanks a bunch for that Gann reading list, I'll be getting those books shortly.

When were 5 min closes official Skunny canon? Did I miss something? I've wondered for a while now what TF determines having a real "break." I remember one poster here mentioning a 5 min break above a 1 hour candle gets to the 138% extension almost ...

One thing I wonder about is session cut-off times. The typical one is NY close at 22 GMT. Which would mean the day starts at 22GMT as well, the Sydney opens right as NY closes. However, it seems some people consider 0 GMT, Tokyo open, to be the ...

Looks to me like the blue fib is superfluous. There was a break of the 0 and 100 of the pink, seems like that is your active fib to be focusing on until either 138% gets broken. IMWO.

Hmmm I can't seem to get the indicator to work in Vhands...but it does work on regular charts. I'll experiment.

Ah thanks a bunch for the link Cliff, this should solve the problem quite nicely.

One thing we could do then is when we are live trading, run a Vhands sim up to the current time and evaluate your thinking. It will get you into the flow of what has happened recently with the benefit of it being compressed, which I agree may help. ...

WHOA just fibbed this move from previous swing high to our low and look what we have...DEAD ON the 61.8%! I guess when Skunny awhile back said even news wont disrupt cycles he wasn't joking... though this also happens to be the previous days high so ...

Now seems to be an appropriate time to ask a question I've been wondering about for awhile. With this outrageous upmove giving us a new swing high...how does this relate to our fibs? When drawing them, should we ignore that whole spike?
