the secret indicator is called "differentiation" use the following settings. 24/7, 2 years :cool:

Currently I don't look at Delta, I have the pane shrunk to where it is not visible. ESR was curious how it looked so I posted it. I've seen it plot quite differently depending on the data vendor too. I find delta much harder to read than volume so I dont use it. The trend of volume as...

Attached chart for today. I find the volume a better guide than the buy-sell but included both. Delta(buy-sell) in lower pane. The key IMHO is knowing when a sequence(traverse) is ready to end near a S/R zone. Would be more than happy to discuss this if there is any interest. I hope to go...

Buy-sell can be a bit tricky to read. I will see what I can come up with for screen shots and pm you. I will try to post a chart with your zones marked and the buy-sell on a 5min es chart. you can see what you can make of it. I find understanding the sequences price follows as it goes through...

Just to be clear. It was volume based, and the software would allow to use however many days of data desired to calculate the profile. 3-10-20 days were most used. We did not use the VAH, VAL as much as just noting where the heavy volume took place. Than would watch those areas. He used an...

ESR I just found this thread, your sharing of info is quite refreshing. Are your profile numbers from the previous day only? do you carry them forward? I know another trader very much like you(extremely successful) with trade management and used profile levels but he would calculate a 3...

LJ I was also puzzled for a bit. But once again if you slide the open it was an OB and change. we had our pt2 just before the close. Unfortunately I did not catch this in time to exploit it. Was sitting patiently for a signal to catch the down move to finish ysday.

Agree on pfc and your point 1. Hope for a few less ff's tomorrow. They still create a little uncertainty, but were expected after the big trend day. Usually can sort through them with a 2 min chart , had a little more difficulty today. Kept finding myself in the rabbit hole. Cant see the red...

This is going a bit too far down the rabbit hole I fear. ------------------------------ My guess is that your sequence repeat signal was the 16:00 bar and that is where I erred." I have a difficult time reading vol that time of day so trusting a pace jump is unreliable. I thought we just...

I guess I didnt word that so well. Signals for change can exist in tapes but as a safety rule it was suggested one wait for a tape break before entering. This, as I've seen since learning about it, has prevented one from jumping in after a meaningless low level IBGS or whatever....I also thought...

Sorry I should not have posted that. I was only trying to show the sequence with gap removed. I do not use that software during the day. You dont even want to see my charts. I posted one a bit ago, it started out as a drill. I have continued that and figured they are not consistent with...

DKM you always have the sweetest, cleanest looking charts. very nice. my obscure take, way too much flipping early trying to stay on the right side even though I was pretty sure I needed dec red and inc blk. Sure wish the uncertainty would go away and I can learn when to jump fractals...
