Likely won't make any progress on this. Saying "volume is irrelevant" is equivalent in the trading community to saying, "there's no such thing as God".

If I'm not mistaken, income tax became a reality in 1913. Prior to that, America was America. Since, we've been "chipped away" towards Leftism/Communism. :(

No worries. Every trader "gets it when he does", if ever.

That's OK... but recognize your tic volume charts are telling you the same as "time" charts... that is the high-low for a given "period"... whether that period is measured in number of contracts traded or number of seconds. The major benefit of very short term bars... is "number of times* a...

Is that "tic volume bars?"

Actually, you can't... because it's not true.

Tic charts are fine. (Personally, the shortest time frame I use is 1-minute... almost the same market story told, but much easier on the hardware.)

It's not a "difficult way to trade". Adding volume to the mix of trading decisions can only harm results. You don't get paid for being "in tune" with volume. You get paid for being in tune with "price". In some earlier post, you inferred you were trading with $20 Million or more. Is that...

Here's my bottom line, in case anybody cares. Volume is at best, coincident. At worst, misleading. While "volume" is considered the Holy Grail of trading... and any contrary view is trading heresy.... including volume in your trading decisions can only HARM your results. (In your efforts to...

NO, it's not. Completely irrelevant. No attention should be given to that.

Ditto. The Founders understood that for America to survive as a democratic republic, voters needed to (1) be informed, and (2) have "skin in the game"... IOW, be "at risk" for our future if you're going to have a say in how we do things. Unfortunately, we've morphed into the one of the things...

??? You go off your meds?

What? That's correct, of course... but never heard you say that before. Did you have an "ah-ha" moment?

It exactly means, "they don't know what they're talking about". At best, volume is coincidental with price. At worst, misleading. Do yourself a favor and forget volume entirely.

He was "cool as a cucumber" down the strech at the PGA... just as he was at the U.S. Open. Add his name to the list of current stars... Johnson, Thomas, Spieth, McIlroy, Day and a couple of others. Good on him!

Likely all true and accurate, but for traders every bit of this is meaningless.

Don't know the details, but she apparently had a tiff with some other ETer and decided to leave ET.

Congrats. You've successfully argued against your own case. Good for you.

In the K.I.S.S. frame of trading.. 1. Crossovers dont' do what you want. 2. Even when crossovers appear to be "good", they're lagging with price. If you're a sharp trader, you should have seen the trade before the cross. 3. Some crossover params may actually accerate your losses. Trading...

The next 2 elections will likely reveal much about America's future.
