Cher M. Sans-Peur-Neuf: Would you please consider adding a button for me with the function "never a loss"? Merci mille fois! F.-M.

No, dear Martin. We are not finished. I just voted.

What learned MJH obviously knows, but that went right over the rest of ET's heads (both big and little), is that the French infinitive "frotter" means "to rub" and by connection also is slang for "to masturbate". Therefore N.Q was making une petite blague bilangue at le Jacquers, calling a...

Genius? Hardly. My whole point is to think about what charts represent, and not take everything at face value. It pains me to admit it, but there IS a conventional orthodoxy, and it keeps you rooted in a losing viewpoint. My mantra is this. Look for anomalies. Try to understand why they occur...

225, I am confused. Did you miss the chart I posed with down volume as red and pointing down?

Tortoise. You are getting far too warm. I have nothing to say. Remember your Uncle Remus. And think nagual, quantum, tick. Most importantly, what HAS to happen so that the crowd is net unprofitable, or at best breaks even.

Oh, my! You ARE new here. Please go here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=83604 and read everything. Then you will fully understand this thread. Sorry. It's an inside joke. A long running one. Trying to penetrate the thick-headedness of that crowd is my life's work...

Conventional volume charts are full-wave rectification of money flow, that was my whole point.

Then I guess I must revise my answer. I am a tit man, so no, I love volume, perky or pendulous. But just for the hell of it for a few days I traded volume alone. Doesn't work, IMO.

I have not fully decided. My volume interpretation codes are usually a coin toss. My day-to-day operating position is that you can't trade volume alone. Or price alone. Or both together. Something far more subtle is required. Which is emerging. If you will forgive another literary allusion, it...

Bravo! You have renewed my faith in the Socratic method! (Why didn't I use Socrates to start this thread?) Down breasts should hang down!

Assolutely! The market is just a worldwide inkblot. Now, given a choice of gurus, who ya gonna follow? The guy who sees math in the markets, or the guy who sees sex? OK. Here's hint. ET is sooooo slow. What is bar volume? The sum of all orders transacted during the bar period. What are...

225, my faithful Sancho Panza! Or was that Pancho Sanza? Tortoise could tell us. The invention has solely to do with volume. It is a very sexy way to make those treasured volume nipples stand out.

Tortoise, what have you got against me? I am old. I am better read than you, but I have forgotten most of it. I am bringing value to ET. I certainly have slept with more women than you have. Why is it that ET resents anyone who tries to improve the lot of the common trader? And I am still...

Yes, I did, Tortoise. I hate people who are smarter than me. But, scratch a sadist and you find a masochist, so treat me gently. (The para-diggem that we are going to demolish today concerns the nature of volume. Conventionally, and orthodoxly, haha, it is charted below price with black bars...

Agreed, but I was thinking of trading books. Aside: my latest study will humiliate a certain subculture of ET traders. It makes one of their favorite para-diggems look foolish. And you may find it to be a useful tool in your trading. But you won't get it for nothing! Abasement is all I...

OK, Tortoise. I am trumped. What other books do you like? Have you ever seen anyone else discuss the Rule of Ten? Do you find it useful? BTW, the chart for the next lesson is ready. Sit up and beg!

Infolode, now that's my kind of post. Irreverent, iconoclastic, personal, insulting and with just a hint of legitimate content! With an adversary like you, I can go far on ET. With respect to the live call, gurus do no condescend to do that because we are busy teaching legitimate students who do...

225, priceless! You don't even need to invent!

Very clever! But Infolode, I am not the guru for you. I will refer you to another here who is into (one hopes not literally) the larger herd animals. And unless you wish me to use my considerable skills at humiliation to reduce you to a cretin capable only of channel trading, kindly restrain...
