PTF. I know a chap who trades very similarly to you, he's a pretty consistent guy. He also rolls in some market stats and a bit of price action to keep him right side up. I don't think the OP said volume was un-important just that it is not the same as order flow. I think its might be an OK...

Past the edit cutoff....of course when I say studies I mean studies by banks, economists, academics etc. into order flow and markets behaviour NOT squiggly line studies.

I guess some of the generals loose the battle. I guess there are mighty generals with bigger armies than others. One thing that can be shown empirically (watching the market or a gazzilion studies) is that order flow is linked to price movement. Other studies show that volume and (trade)...

Who in there right mind would attend a class they have absolutely no interest in if its entirely optional? Man to me thats just sad. There has to be something you are interested in somewhere. Guess your the sort of guy that would cut off your nose to spite your face. If I was to paypal you...

I respect your opinion really I do. We are all grown ups here, its Ok for me to decide for myself is it? If this pied piper leads the rats off to slaughter isn't that good for you? You need a constant supply of dumb money entering the markets right? I find it kind of ironic that you clearly...

Talking about the 'money extraction' doesn't really help anyone. Its simply a product of following the procedure correctly. I think this is true of any approach to trading. It just comes when you do it right. You decide how much. I do have sympathy for your view on charting and annotating...

Had to quote this....I just wanted to see it again! If a picture is worth a million words an animated gif is probably worth quite a bit more. Cheers. P.S. and Camtasias are invaluable though it is, of course, completely unreasonable to expect anyone to interfere with there trading to...

Would have loved to play Slick Nick (being as that's my name). Sadly company has just arrived so I will miss both the FOMC and Custard distributing his AMGN :(

Doh I said Go with the (order) flow. So close but so far :)

Flow sounds way to obvious for word 2. So guess it wont be that. Cant help feeling that the other bit is something to do with being limited in what you can do as you will only be able to go where the market takes you. Go with the (order) flow. Is clearly more than two words. At this...

Imo (but what do I know) this has some great points. Sometimes it seems that lower time frame participants are pushing things around (higher frequencies). This results in strange things (noise) on the 'lower frequencies' (higher time frames). If these signals are weak anyway (e.g. lunchtime)...

Im looking for fresh inspiration:) Whatever opening I consider I keep coming back to this could change in a couple of bars. Some openings I considered - Non Dom directional. Dom Directional Lateral (likely diminishing volume) Context Respecting and within carry over. Outside carry...

Damn - that shoots one of my lines of thought down in flames. I was thinking intrabar you might anticipate a stall or even possibly a penanant (with attendant volume). In fact you might think if the bar closes right now i have this condition. However by bar end you would know that is what its...

Are we talking about animals that tend to herd? Not sure how that relates to rivers except if one bison drinks they all do.

That its based on sentiment?

On occasion I have hit the bid apparently causing a down tick apparently causing a tumble. The proverbial butterfly effect perhaps?

Have to go with 5 well thats the gut reaction. Don't let me sidetrack your discussion of the generals though. Jeavis and Jutthead is going to have a field day with "large organs" huhuhu huhuhu I think you might have managed to engage row 3 :)

I am plotting 1 tick range. I also plot volume hitting the top end (ask) as a histogram going up and that hitting the bottom (bid) going down. This shows walls as they are hit (not as they form). At the moment I am just observing behaviour at odd times. I have observed a couple of things...
