Here is what you see at the tick level. Market orders are not flowing fast enough to exhaust the inside market at the depth you can see, which is generally less than the true depth of the limit orders. One side of the inside market is pulled. Stops or stop entries trigger market volume greater...

Jack. I wasted precious moments of my rapidly waning life looking for the "the 80 page piece posted a week or so ago in this thread". Where did you stealth it? One of us is senile. Maybe it is me, but I don't think so. Mike.

You never saw the inside market pulled on NO volume? Hahahahaha!

There is no fuzziness in the algorithm to automate trend line determination. I have done it. Painfully. And tested it. It doesn't work. Trendlines all by themselves work only in hindsight. When they work, you make money. When they don't, you give it all back.

Bullshit! Bullshit! Watch tick charts! Miss Price leads Mr. Volume around by his dork!

The problem with bands of all types is that volatility is volatile.

NN. Who knows? Maybe posting on ET lengthens your life? Jack and I are alike in that we both have much younger wives. But I think what really does it is feeding off of the credulity of youth. I do that in my business life (easy, since almost EVERYBODY is younger than me). I mean, Jack is 73 this...

Jack. Thanks for responding. I would not focus on you personally if you weren't so endlessly fascinating. Don't you know that it is impossible to divorce YOU from what you teach? Your character is inseparable from what you do. IMO what you do is so idiosyncratic that it is no wonder no one can...

I will stack my writing ability up against Jack's any day. I have had an engineering textbook continuously in print for 30 years this month. I will admit that when you search Jack on Amazon you get three hits, but they are all out of print. The majority of his oeuvre (what you can verify ever...

Odd. No, but I would be pleased to be Jack's editor, since he can't write worth a shit.

T-DOGG. Indeed. Then they come here for their post-graduate work! After all, there ARE over 35,000 accomplished traders here!

Odd. How many of them really trade and make money? IMO the short list is Deel, Farley, Graifer, Pesavento, Elder, Toppel. If I were fool enough to write a trading book it would be five pages long and I would charge $10K for it. Printed on sheepskin and bound in gold-tooled calf leather. It would...

T-DOGG. I was totally lucky to read Elder #1 first, but of all the others I bought only Farley, Douglas #1/#2 and Graifer were worth the money and the effort to understand them. If you think about the precious few (I'm guessing) things you learnt the hard way which are market-inviolate, why...

Makosgu. It's an "in joke" by a member of the B-Team. Before your time here.

Recognizing manipulation and siding with the manipulator.

Grob106. Obviously you are not aware of the groundbreaking research by Mandelbread et al. which analyzed this problem in successively smaller frankels, with the curious result that it disappears if you don't look at it for very long. I might add that your paper is a disappointment because it is...

Do trendlines work?

Actually, I think you do yourself a disservice by reading trading books. I will never buy another one. Unless Jack writes one of course, which he periodically threatens to do. IMO your time is better spent watching market action for anomalies which indicate that something is amiss, or coding up...

I meant "Move on in chop", but DON'T hold a losing position to the death. Unfortunately, there is not much in Sun Tzu of use for trading IMO, as a trader must be able to be timid and cowardly. I much prefer Lao Tzu: "Bend like a reed in the wind" and "Make your wheels to go along old ruts."...

T-DOGG. How about "On broken ground, march quickly."? But not "On death ground, fight."!
