If price takes too long to create the protected swing during a retracement, it is just consolidation. Phases of price: - expansion -> retracement -> expansion - expansion -> consolidation (retracement that took too long) -> expansion (fake move) -> reversal

@TTrades_edu Its like you saw my screen today while I was trading

@SnowmanICT i was reviewing someones mark up and this was a common theme they were struggling with and ive seen like 90% of people struggle with. made a graphic in 5 minutes and here we are.

@TTrades_edu Very good post here

@BenDXY_ thank you good sir

@TTrades_edu How long is too long?

@List3rA not really that mechanical, but study you will find out for yourself

@TTrades_edu I was caught by that- thanks for the graphic. That might be a video idea, or at least a short?

@jnwillis22 i can make a video on it sure, i think it will help people. short too

@TTrades_edu Ym today??

@412Mystery you are correct

@TTrades_edu What metric are you using tho to determine price taking too long?

@TTrades_edu Good review. I call those HL’s and also good to know that a healthy HL/protected swing may not have follow through and reverse back down to continue the consolidation. That HL is a great are to manage risk though, as you continue to point out

@TTrades_edu i have a whole catalog of trades with this tag basically an invisible AMD in the opposite direction

@TTrades_edu This is spot on! Couldn’t possibly have worded it better.

@TTrades_edu Nutmeg Once i see this i say ok iam not satisfied with this price i will wait for a continuation.. A reversal usually happen as u say Requesting a continuation is really a helpful insight u gave last live in such price action and saved me unnecessary losses

@TTrades_edu So after price take a swing a or low,we don't want price consolidate before making the cisd?

@TTrades_edu Discord link expired showing

@TTrades_edu Interesting perspective! 🤔 How often do you see this happening? Curious about your thoughts!
