Yes, as per my post many do use in TA studies. I use OBV in conjunction with other momentum analysis tools to determine the strength and weighting of the volume on anticipatory reversal bars. OBV in and of itself is useless, unless used with other tools. Rather than divergence or convergence...

There are some "phrases and buzzwords" that only decade-old traders I have run in circles with will know and remember. Congrats again, you've earned your stripes. I'll continue posting replies on subjects of depth and meaning. "If you want knowledge and success, you give it." Many have taught me...

Hmm? Speedometer. Which office was it where you heard / learned “speedometer”, and who? You are a “true” survivor; my hat is off to you. Consider yourself one of the elite, “in my book”. There aren’t too many people still around from the “speedometer” days, pat yourself on the...

I believe your confusing "gut" with "instinct" and "discipline". Instinct and discipline are cerebral qualities. The trader's instinct is an inherent quality, that becomes readily useful only after it has been carefully shaped with knowledge and exercise. Discipline is developed and strengthened...

I was taught momentum analysis by someone named "Smokey" who started his career on Wall Street on a catwalk changing prices with chalk, 30 feet above the NYSE floor, and retired as head of Goldman Sachs's US trading operation for 25 years. He's trained most of the top "head" market makers that...

Focus on your plan. Spend less time studying statistics, and spend more time taking their money. Respectfully,

I have those days. Fortunately, I'm very honest with myself when it comes to trading, and I know when I've made a poor decision and then I correct it immediately. I damn well know when I have put ona bad trade, the second I'm in. Trust your EST, and trust your instruments. NO MORE EMOTIONS...

RE: Trade with trend: Think of the trend as a current in a body of water. There are times when you can go against it and live, other times you will drown. In most cases its easier to let the current carry you, even the strongest of salmon die when they swim against the current. I will only trade...

Before, SOES trading in 1995, I was a financial consultant / stockbroker for approx 6 years. All of the success and knowledge I attained during that time, served as nothing more than a mental handicap. I mistakingly thought I would be head and shoulders (pardon the pun) above the rest. I saw...
