Rolf,
That was the page I was looking for!

From page 78 of WON's 24 lessons book, In bold letters:
"You only start counting a rally if the close is up from the prior day."
In this case, Wednesday March 12 did close higher than Tuesday.

Also on page 78:
""Follow-through" day. Index up 1% or more on increased volume from the day
before. Market is in new uptrend. Usually occurs fourth through seventh day
of an attempted rally."

(Since 24 lessons was published WON did change the "Index up 1% or more on
increased volume from the day before" to 2% or more.)

Also see HTMMIS third edition pages 64 and 65 on rally attempt, 2% reasoning
and follow-through day. Interesting, WON says that a follow-through could
even occur on the third day of a rally attempt if certain conditions exist.

I've been following the example from 24 Lessons, pg. 78.  The first day of
an attempted rally is a day in which an index closes up sans volume
considerations.  A FTD day usually occurs on day 4 to 7 (higher volume, 2%
increase).  From Tim's comments, IBD is following that criteria.

I guess an 'attempted' rally becomes a 'confirmed' rally if a FTD occurs on
days 4 thru 7 (and as late as 10).  I try to qualify 'attempts' based on the
action of the first day;  we've had at least a couple of weak attempts (that
failed) lately.
