    Why do people use Volume, Range and Tic charts?

    This is true if the increased vol is on the side of price. Otherwise it is exhaustion where the big boys are clearing into the face of the newer players and the longer term players.

    Why do people use Volume, Range and Tic charts?

    I am not bright enough to know the answer to this until after the event, which quite frankly is of no use to me at all I am sad to report. I am not clever enough to make sense of the DOM either , since we all preload and then there are some amongst us who fake as well. Anyway, I can only...

    Why do people use Volume, Range and Tic charts?

    You may be trying too hard surf, Vol charts are simply showing you the trades as they enter the exchange and forming a new bar after a prescribed number of contracts. This number being set by you. Vol bars do not have a personality, do not require testing, and make no demands on you to...

    Why do people use Volume, Range and Tic charts?

    Hello PointOne, I thought that you expressed this point rather well, very well in fact. Two traders observing the same variables, then drawing two differing conclusions has more to do with their ability to expand their minds into the problem than it does with one being correct and the other...

    Why do people use Volume, Range and Tic charts?

    I suppose, since I originated this thread some time ago, I might as well throw my 2 cents into the arena. I find now that I can trade range or volume charts more easily than time charts. Each has something to offer and maybe I have now become unaccustomed to time charts. But I just cannot...

    Technical Analysis Doesn't Work

    my my R canfiel you have been busy. I have mentioned it before and now I shall repeat it. TA is the mathematical manipulation of up to eight input factors in order to highlight price/volume action. It can mechanize repetitive pattern forms allowing the trader to concentrate upon what he...

    Technical Analysis Doesn't Work

    It is threads like this that provide the real entertainment on ET. Posters throwing everything that they have got ( plus a lot of what they are missing) into a competition that has yet again developed into a race to the bottom. Neck and neck they charge in a bid to add un needed...

    Technical Analysis Doesn't Work

    gm Surf, It all depends on the parameters you set for the term TA. Expanded to it's limits ie mathematical manipulation of input data, then I believe that it is highly programmable but the final interpretation is best left to the mark 10 eyeball and brain as they cope better with the...

    Technical Analysis Doesn't Work

    I have not read these nine pages and nor do I intend to. TA involves the use of indicators ... this we all know. Indicators are merely a mathematical manipulation of up to eight inputs ... some people know this and mostpeople fail to grasp it. because ....... Peddlers and vendors...

    Position Sizing for e-mini contracts

    I concur. 1K (maybe 1200) per lot is more than enough if you think that a long hold is several minutes and 3 - 4 tics is an emergency market stop only. Always remember that your account balance is unproductive from your point of view and any surplus to basic requirements should be siphoned...

    ES Journal Archive (2006 - 2008)

    muy bueno DMartin. If you carry on with this line of thinking applied to the ES then you are in serious danger of making proper money with minimal risk and minimal drawdowns. Every instrument is in trend at any time providing that you define the period first. How can it not be! A good...

    Momentum Day Trader

    Hi momotrade, If you are going to have a conversation with yourself, you don't need ET to do it. Maybe glove puppets should be the weapon of choice, on the other hand they may fall into an argument.

    Moving Price - market versus limit orders

    I read in a thread the other day a poster stating that only market orders move price, limit orders cannot do this. This is an interesting subject and worthy of expansion by those who know and understand how price moves. ( I am no expert) regards f9
