You're on a roll Mr B! You must be on a polyphasic sleep schedule with the instruments you follow... :D -Au

No problem - sorry for misinterpreting part of your post! -Au

As a disclaimer, I've never conducted a successful wash trade on purpose. I've succeeded in exiting a trade at break even, but that's not the wash trade, per se. With that said, I can only comment with my current understanding and assumptions. Perhaps it wasn't clear in my first post - my...

Hi Tobbe, I've "known" about washing for a number of years now, but have never understood Jack's drill to practicing it. Icarus was kind enough to give me a nudge in the right direction. Here's part of the PM I received, quoted with permission: I hope that helps clarify things. Have a...

To quote our illustrious captain.... uthinks wrong Fly safe lj! o7 -Au

Er, I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to communicate here - whether you mean "it calculates to be peak volume, but it's really not due to Spyder saying one is and one isn't" or if you mean something else. Either way, on my chart, the volume for that time frame doesn't meet the criteria...

Does the bar in question on David's 07-29-08 chart meet the criteria for peak volume? -Au

All the answers to how the market works can be found in the market itself. All of them. So while the market may not be able to tell you what Spydertrader's definition is for you, it will certainly tell you what you need to know. Unfortunately, you've chosen to burn a bridge to a resource who...

Unfortunately you (sort of) took my post out of context. I was making the point of we had 2 back to back instances of peak volume bars, and that we needed to determine why one would be a signal for change and the other would not. Important thing is that we are moving along the prompted path...

Good stuff - I'm unable to post an annotated chart, so if someone could put one up for the discussion at hand, it'd be quite helpful IMHO. (That and posterity's sake - you know so spyder can say he made a website) So we are looking at differences in the bars of peak volume. Because of that...

Can we articulate any differences for the 10:45 bar, where peak volume occurs, and the 10:50 bar where peak volume also occurs? -Au

Nicely done Icarus - thanks! -Au

@ehorn: I have to admit, doing binary ops from my machine language days is like riding a bicycle... well, ok maybe a unicycle. :D @Mr_Black: Do you have a link you'd mind sharing? TIA -Au

Hmmmm... I thought it was 1 + 1 = 10 -Au

This sounds reasonable - simple and elegant. I started going back and putting together recent posts and charts where Spyder pointed them both out to see what I could see, and then the thought came to me: If it's not peak volume, then it would have to be a pace change. In other words, the...

From this comment, I ascertain that peak volume and a pace 'step up' look very similar. Since we know what peak volume looks like, let's see if we can identify the characteristics that would differentiate the two. Additionally, since Spyder clearly considers it important to separate the "goats"...

We work with a binary system though - it either "is" or it "isn't". My wife didn't look pregnant 5 months ago - but she does now. Was she pregnant then or not? (I'm so glad she doesn't read these forums....) -Au

To assist in the discussion (since I had to go look up the quote and before it gets too far down the results page...) -Au

The volume was just touching the "very fast" pace range - so I'd say it's not a flaw. -Au

Thanks much for the link Ezzy! -Au
