This price action doesnt concern you? Large mkt orders wiping out levels in the ES, not a sign of good things I would think. And these arent small retail orders, these are 2000 lots

I've seen what you've described with the bar going to infinity. But today it was less dramatic, the bars had differences of 400 lots and 500 lots etc. Enough where I noticed something was odd but not so much where I knew it was a definite glitch. A few times I wasnt sure if it was QT or Esignal...

Did anyone else have any issues with QT for their YM chart today? I had at least 5 or 6 bars that I can remember where the volume was way off. Where on Esignal I had 500 contracts trade for the 2 min bar but QT had like 1200+. Made PRV difficult a few times today. Just wondering if anyone...

Qualify me for what? Giving my opinion?

Its probably some bozo that you have on ignore :)

Making $200/$400 a day avg is not a realistic goal for you right NOW. It CAN certainly be down the road (maybe 8 months, maybe a year, maybe more?), and not that hard to accomplish once there, but you will have to go through much study, trial and error, ups, downs and everything in between in...

lol, and just like that its below 15 again :p

On the contrary, VIX over 17 now, intraday ranges expanding. This is EXACTLY what you like to see if you trade.

some days the intraday range is like 6 pts and tricky, not everyday will provide this kind of action (and this many opportunities). Actually, the great majority of days wont.

I agree w/ the idea of patience but at the same time you must remain flexible in your outlook, being too "this" or too"that" is a recipe for disaster. You can remain calm but that doesnt mean the mkt will eventually bail you out before you run out of money.

Why do you even answer stocktr3der? He obviously just has one mode and thats it. You arent gonna convince him otherwise, just let him keep buying dips until the dips no longer work and he'll be out of money and off this board. A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first...

ST, I saw what i thought was an odd harmonic (12:20/25 bars )but then next bar spiked up above the highs. What did you see and what would you do in this situation?

My guess is that price did leave the channel on dec vol so THAT particular sloped down channel isnt right HOWEVER there is still a much larger down channel in play?

Yeah, i dont just look at the closes either however the situation also has the bar going lower in the first half and then shooting back up to close fairly strong in the 2nd half so there is that context to deal with as well.

Can we view the 11:00 bar as decreasing red? The bar went lower and vol decreased, however I have the bar closing at the same priceas the previous bars close. On esignal this shows black vol and a black bar even though my brain is saying this bar is red.

So, in essence, we should have taken the 11:35 bar short on the potential FTT and then waited to see PRV of the next bar (11:40) as lower and see price exiting the channel on less volume, and at this point, realize that we do not have an FTT but rather an incorrect channel. I really cant see...

How come the 11:35 bar is not considered an FTT? It doesnt make it to the LTL and the next bar is lower on decreasing red which is what we'd want to see. Would you mind walking through these few bars?

Hey Spyder, I noticed you drew an upchannel starting w/ Pt 1 at 10:55, but then later in the day a very similar situation sets up but you decided to use the 14:30 bar as your Pt 1 as opposed to the 14:35 bar. Was there a specific reason you chose this? They seem to be so similar but maybe I'm...

Thanks Spyder! Just a follow up question: 1. When you say a stall (in this example) would show increasing black, you mean that HAD this been a stall, the black volume of the 13:25 bar would supercede the volume of the 13:20 bar when it closed? Then, if this had happened, knowing what we...
