Not to be nit-picky, but I think nowadays, a 2% rise on increased volume is
advocated.

My understanding is:
1. Day 1 is the first day of an attempted rally (e.g., today).  Volume is
not needed.
2. We look for a FTD 4-10 days after the first day of the attempted rally.
The FTD requires a 2% rise in one of the major indices on increased
(prefered above the 50-day ADV) volume.
3. If an index drops below the intraday low of Day 1, the rally fails (e.g.,
yesterday did in the attempted 5 March rally).

I might finally have this right - been going back to 24-Lessons on and off
when I get confused.
