In fact I do agree. I just find I generally don’t even need to look at volume.

I wouldn’t carry disdain around for it but I just don’t think I need it for the way I scalp and it would just cause me to not take some trades when I should and to take some trades when I shouldn’t. However, it isn’t entirely useless IMO.

My suggestion is if you really want to learn more about these kind of concepts just spring for Brooks course. The books are more for reference in IMO. I admit it is a massive undertaking at least it was for me (as I am not the sharpest hoe in the shed). I honestly know of no other person who...

If price is going down and volume is getting less then it will likely go back up, or in a sideways in a TR to get more volume. If it were to keep going down volume would likely get less. If it is going down on less volume then it is going in the wrong direction. If it is going up on less volume...

Volume is transactions. Transactions are buying and selling. Heavy volume can take place and price barely budge. Almost every bar of the 81 5m bars in ES will have a lot of buying and selling. Both bullish and bearish pressures are ALWAYS present on every bar. It is far more important what price...

I actually thought LSU out played Bama. I still do not how Bama won that game.

Yes MA is an indicator :rolleyes:

As Saban would say it is “how” we deal with adversity that makes the difference.

It depends on which team is eating the “rat poison” as to whether it is yummy or awful tasting. Ga ate it. Ga fans ate it. It was fun watching GA eat it although I admit I felt a twinge of sympathy for GA’s QB Bennett…..but just a little twinge…

ROFLMAO

I would disagree. The market is not fickle. It is doing exactly what it was designed to do. That is, the market is there to facilitate, buying and selling. Imagine if you were going to sell your house. You could list it with a broker where many interested folks in buying or selling could see...

What one believes about market manipulation…market noise…retail traders…institutions…price…volume….price patterns…risk….profit targets….R:R will affect ones trading strategies, techniques and executions. We also tend to read books that validate our underlying concepts. But they can be “rat...

Jesus once said “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” Matthew 12:34

What is in the heart…our core beliefs…desires..passion…is what our mouths will blab about. It is also central to our actions. As I have quoted before…”we create our own reality in the markets”.

@thehung111 I once read a book. “Hung by the Tongue”

Good job in this post padu! Volume is a leading indicator. But I would argue that price is a BETTER leading indicator. “Price is the best indicator of price”. And as you say money is made on price not volume.

Consider these things: Price is the value of volume. Volume is simply transactions that have taken place Volume can be low but price grinding up in a bull trend or bear trend the entire session. This Brooks calls SPBL (small pullback bull trends). It is program buying on low volume...

Absolutely correct. A trader can use Brooks ideas of reading the markets and trading them for larger intraday trends employing things he teaches like measured moves…the type of day price is panning out….etc. I have in particular keyed in on applying Brooks ideas in scalping as that is my...
