Thanks, Ivan, I didn't know that!

Assuming you drew that trend line correctly, the only definitive signal that chart shows is the trendline break and the reaction retrace back to it, which provides a much more solid entry signal than what you imagined you saw inside the congestion.

Let me provide a counter example which just inconveniently occurred. I am idly vilifying a code change on the overnight market. Attached is a screen shot of a clearly tradeable 5 point move in NQ. The bottom study is volume (which I use in various ways as a kinda-sorta-maybe harbinger of...

I must add that I would share my associate Joe Doaks' pioneering, nay, seminal, research on the Unified Theory of the Price Efficiency of Volume with ET, but I decline to cast pearls before swine. This differential calculus based model clearly pulverizes the P-V theory like a Vegomatic shreds...

I am self-mortified that I debase myself to participate in such low and rude discourse, but the illogic of the "pro-rata" argument makes my head hurt like a bad case of constipation. The Hersheyites seek to peer inside their opaque five minute bars by predicting what the volume will be at the...

As always, Thunderdog, you stated the case perfectly, philosophically paralleling Hume's logic for his atheism (here I paraphrase, as memory fails): "If he is all powerful, why then does he allow evil to exit? If he is helpless in the face of evil, then why should I worship him?" If volume is...

Laughs, JJ? You know I am always deadly serious and seriously deadly. And you have provided a dying old fossil many hours of entertainment baiting the forces of evil on ET. So I am happy to provide you some abusement as well.

ARG-T, I thank you kindly for your reference to a source of education on volume, but I am old dog and cut my teeth on an even earlier source, Richard Schabacker, who pretty much puts everyone else to shame, even today. And, truth to tell, I am highly resistant to unlearning what works for me...

Thunderdog, my cardiologist advises that I not read these P-V threads, but I guess I have a death wish. No disrespect to your blind study approach, but I would also recommend a placebo test: trade off of volume only, without price. The Hershey canon is quite specific as to the construction of...

An interesting price increment, 1 cm. Is that more than a "skosche", but less than a "tinch?"

You will have to pay in USD, cash, no Cdn accepted. Which reminds me, I have been meaning to warn ET about the insidious invasion of Canadians into the site. Not unlike that we have witnessed in the arts. Do not allow these cold-blooded people to steal our heat! It is 104 in North Texas, and...

It will be for sale in Classifieds shortly, in several choices of colors and borders.

You are into it RN with the baroque during the day. I listen mostly to 16th and 17th century solo lute music. Serene music, both, for serene trading.

Ticketwatcher, thanks for the reference to Classic FM. And for explaining your trading approach. Can't say much for your taste in music, though. But anyone who can listen to any part of Symphony of Sorrowful Songs through the open must have a truly cast iron brain. And a quite cogent anal-ysis...

Thank you RN. If enough of us post the virtues of simplicty and serenity, perhaps this prophecy I posted to Jack will come true: "Jack, what kind of gut level reality-threatening shock are you going to experience when it finally sinks in that the ranks of successful traders are filled with...

Jack, what kind of gut level reality-threatening shock are you going to experience when it finally sinks in that the ranks of successful traders are filled with persons of low character who win with pitifully simple methods, methods that don't use volume, that don't rely on arcane connections to...

Did that happen to coincide with becoming profitable? And then, like taking a really good antidepressant, you didn't give a shit any more? What did it feel like, when you knew you had it made? Permit me to witness. I always thought, "Man, when I get to where I can bitch slap the market, I am...

Here we see the shared core poisonality of ET at work. Have 'Twatcher and 'Ohno brought with them to the Serenity Patch a long-running enmity that spans incontinents of fora and threads? Or do we rather have a clash of styles (wordy vice brief) that instantly eroused ho'stility? And why...

Thank you for posting, 'Twatcher. Do your minimalist tastes extend to Glass and Einaudi? Great trading music. I generally listen to XMRadio's classical channels, or to KUSC from LA, or my own collection, today was Thomas Tallis Appreciation day here. Also, since falling in love on ET I have...

Todd, I only came back because Jack came back first. And thank you for the kind wishes, my surgeon fixed that troublesome hiatus while I was gone.
