From the beginning of this thread, somewhat unconsciously, I strived to get one system for all patterns. Pairs (EUR/USD,) are richest in chart patterns; one example is multiple-shape, heiken-ashi-candle patterns. I got to specific patterns (posts # 2-7,9), a developing context of purpose statements (8,16,27,35), an early several-pattern system (11, 18, 19). I also looked to automatic stuff along the way, to see what they had and to try and adapt it into something useable (drawing tools (posts 12,13,15,21,26(mostly) ) and indicators (posts 23,25,28,30-2,34,36,37,40,43) ). Finally, I had to take a break (6, 17,45-6), get discipline (33) and take others' advice ( after others' posts). My still-developing method begins at post 44 and charts news affect through my pattern recognition table ( ) and bar-spread trendlines.
(post 58+) This prt works with forex patterns superficially, in that it only considers balance patterns, which is forex's forte, with respect to roller language, which is (individual, especially smaller- (news-responsive)) stocks-appropriate. The product is only visually, not mathematically, measurable. Forex's balance patterns can stand on their own; thus, this prt is dropped and I'm in search of a standard way to present a new understanding of balance patterns.

new ideas
05172010
Separate my line patterns into five types:
serial t:m, pattern (~parallel) t:m, s/p t, s/p m, and s/p t:m.
The differentiating letters are s, p, t, m and all, in order of type.
Examples, in order of types:
logr cycle / condensed-logr;
backwards, substitute or screen (see 'bar channels' post #1, ideas list with dates), involving pattern repetition in form or function;
bsTLs' small to large spread patterns;
corner, i.e. grid, when can draw a grid from how levels of ninety-degree angle between them; and,
a pattern with an obvious end pivot whose TL goes through a midline or a single pattern's center line that corresponds implicitly if askew with a later midline (see the multiple white lines picture in 'bar channels' post #1, same place as before.) )
Then, break down a chart area as mostly pertaining to the s/p t:m type of TL's, either with the complex repetition and set area (if not -effect for their TL's) of s or p t:m's or with the simple (non)repetition and variable area of s/p t's or m's. This is what the template example in the 'bar channels' post #1 had under today's date, using the former through condensed logr and a backwards TL set (except not shown on the template (here it is.)
leverage that decides each type, in order of type given above: shape, shape and line, dot, dot and line, line
This ordering idea fits in with shape areas, since there's the shapes, then a dividing line, and finally dots in and around each dividing line that one draws TL's from. The TL's with shape areas' dividing lines tend to fit in with each other sequentially from one shape-area dividing line to the next (ex's in post lost). Because it includes a potpourri of everything, the shape areas idea is of the s/p t:m kind.
04242010
shape TL's
overall:
It's shape areas, only to use one TL-producing shape each general higher-TF area (EST (mb trading)).
recent: 1,2,3,4,5.
This 1' series probably needs to be redone to use what learned, that is, shape TL's, especially the lack of frame TL's and also a triangle at the beginning. It uses lower TFs' pieces of shapes (dots, line segments,partial curves) as well.
03292010
shapes
*definition: A shape (with concepts within - outside of, to -from)
*condition: level (isolate (1 pt), level (2 pts), balance (3+pts)) or unlevel (expand, converge, irregular)
*scale: individual, exchange, or area
*type: reframe (a 90-degree corner with a 45-degree line from the corner; two slightly skewed, parallel lines with a midline between them for a third line; a one-pip bar then a vertical series of spinning tops, or visa-versa) or anchor (a line with small patterns progressing along it to a turn, a line with a few small and then a very large pattern and then nothing for a long time progressing along it to intersect after another area's turn; a vertical series of spinning tops, then zero or more one-pip bars, then another vertical series of spinning tops)
cog-pulley-weight approach
----------------------
formerly:
how bsTL's fit in with spread patterns in logarithmic cycles
--------------------
last theory:
Added logarithmic shifts and/or unusual patterns with high-impact news, very longterm bsTL's, or other wave fans' shape adjusting to the shape areas idea in #61-2 for a 1' TF method, to draw a bsTL fan at the shifting center or recentering pattern / set of patterns of a wave. Method is consistent, doing the fans at regular intervals and providing which way the price-time line goes.
There's lots of justification for this one -- The weekly midlines generally feed into these types of general shape areas; shape areas are consistent and dependable; news is included in all its affect; trend is reasonably certain; lines close to each other and from different fans work together easily; and, lots of space is defined. Problems may be that one must turn TL rays into line segments, once a line stops being effective, in an effort to keep the chart legible; general trend often fails to translate into smaller chart areas, leaving almost and rather ineptly horizontal fan lines to deal with it; and, choosing general shape areas, unlike shape areas in #61-2, are visually found relative to lots of other possible ones, allowing a lot of leeway to say where any one area is.
next-to-last theory, which does allow for a longer-term approach for the above one (where #61-2 does the same for a shorter-term one):
Traditional patterns (triangles, flags, etc.) are each a collection of balance areas formed from small groups and their bs- (expands) or mid- (contracts) TL's in(ter) standard pattern areas.

- 1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34 sma's, single color (personal, likely not ideal, choices) on 'None' most of the time). V's and tiny circles with all lines within them. Price-time line progression along horizontal TL segments.
- Market Hours. 2-12 pm volatile, 12-2 calm, 1-3 pm turn. Opposing repetition, change in trend.
- DutchCandle. Ordered (ex.'s: solid, spike, logr-curved ramp, flat ramp, flat, mountain, valley, and plateau) shapes to figure direction and draw TL's from.
- Zigzag. Symmetry (pivot trend) angles. Entire-area pivot switches, repeated logr's from one s/r touch to the next, and others. A native sense of the angles helps, especially in speedy read of chart.

05172010
Separate my line patterns into five types:
serial t:m, pattern (~parallel) t:m, s/p t, s/p m, and s/p t:m.
The differentiating letters are s, p, t, m and all, in order of type.
Examples, in order of types:
logr cycle / condensed-logr;
backwards, substitute or screen (see 'bar channels' post #1, ideas list with dates), involving pattern repetition in form or function;
bsTLs' small to large spread patterns;
corner, i.e. grid, when can draw a grid from how levels of ninety-degree angle between them; and,
a pattern with an obvious end pivot whose TL goes through a midline or a single pattern's center line that corresponds implicitly if askew with a later midline (see the multiple white lines picture in 'bar channels' post #1, same place as before.) )
Then, break down a chart area as mostly pertaining to the s/p t:m type of TL's, either with the complex repetition and set area (if not -effect for their TL's) of s or p t:m's or with the simple (non)repetition and variable area of s/p t's or m's. This is what the template example in the 'bar channels' post #1 had under today's date, using the former through condensed logr and a backwards TL set (except not shown on the template (here it is.)
leverage that decides each type, in order of type given above: shape, shape and line, dot, dot and line, line
This ordering idea fits in with shape areas, since there's the shapes, then a dividing line, and finally dots in and around each dividing line that one draws TL's from. The TL's with shape areas' dividing lines tend to fit in with each other sequentially from one shape-area dividing line to the next (ex's in post lost). Because it includes a potpourri of everything, the shape areas idea is of the s/p t:m kind.
