Thanks for posting this. I've looked at different ways to get a proxy for volume on the forex and wondered if and how the futures volume could be used. I was thinking of trying to pull data from several exchanges (as CME isn't 24 hours) but couldn't figure how to pull it together on one chart...

Pepe, Thought this quote from Jack might give a bit of clarification to your observations. - EZ

That's why I mentioned it's not textbook. I wasn't looking at it as a multibar HVS. Having a single bar traverse itself more than once is a type of HVS, high volume being another part of it. Here's my thoughts: It didn't go higher, it wasn't a hitch, it didn't dip, not CCC, too much...

Bundle, This may not be textbook because of the volume but to me it was an HVS (hold), then BO down instead of cont up. Probably doesn't help with the question but wanted to throw that out there. Regards - EZ

Jack, Thanks for answering a question I had regarding the ACV. There is the theory that the market moves toward activity, which is supposedly indicated by the standing limit orders - it moves toward taking out the orders. Guess it's a version of the 'stop running" view. This is...

Go out of Point Loma, the fishing will be better than the boats out of Mission Bay.

Ryan Jones has a little different approach if you're looking for something new. Everyone has critics, even optimal F (Ralph Vince) can blow you up. Then there's Sweeney's Max Adverse Excursion. You can get the gist of most of these on the net. Risk of ruin aside, it really comes down to...

You really need to try them out. Qcharts has a free 30 day trial, though you might have to pay for data, just a few bucks for the ES. I think QT has a free version as well. No PRV in QCharts, but easy to use. I've only had a couple days where the data feed was a problem with Qcharts...

Jason, Is you disable the user account controls in Vista that will probably fix your problems, and 99% of Vista related problems. Search on Ezzy and Vista to find my thread where I posted the steps. Hope that helps - EZ

Spydertrader, This may be a dumb question but for the sake of clarification since we are talking about the Forest FTT's in this post: Should we be looking for a 1,2,3 FTT (ex: the point 3 being an FTT before the BO) for change or, if we think we have an FTT at the #1 point near the...

LOL! The right trendline, or distinguishing which was the right or left trendline, was my first big hurdle. Have that down now but still have trouble with left right directions. Port/Starboard works a bit better. :D

Check page 48 of the Channels for BW pdf. Somewhere I read that the ES levels were originally set by eyeballing the chart, and MAK's speadsheet coincidentally confirmed them. For example in equities, instead of using a formula for DU, FRV and Peaking volume, you could eyeball the chart and put...

Towards the end of the equities journal II, Aurum posted a doc for doing a PRV drill. Start at the bottom of the sheet and track the PRV through the bar. You get to see the surging and retreating of PRV. It's a good drill to go through and you can visually see what MAK was referring too...

Spydetrader, A few questions on the descriptions from the Channels for BW pdf to add some clarity: Hitch - the description mentions a repeat, consecutive identical bars. Most hitches as I understand it are usually a single 3 or 4 tick wide bar with low volume. Definitely not a repeat of...

There really aren't any good FX books out there. Most authors give a very general overview and then a few of their favorite basic TA techniques. I've flipped through a bunch of them at the bookstores - just more of the same. You can get more info on the net, especially if there are specific...

Regarding Tuesdays' low volume/volatility - it was roughly a 15 point high to low day. That may seem low compared with the how's it's been lately, but we've had an unusual Summer. With the average ES day around 8 - 10 points, Tuesday was a good day with normal volume, though a bit...

It looks like you have the right idea, keeping in mind that sequence may extend into the next 5 min bar. The example you showed was what a 5 min bar would look like "real time" during the formation. The "look" of this bar after the sequence (on a static chart) doesn't mean every bar with...

R/R, Very good point. The extreme volume bar issue was on the Jan Tuscon vid, the gaussian session. The context was gaussians, not FTT's. Thanks for bringing that up to clear up any confusion. - EZ
