    how to understand Al Brooks

    You are wasting your time. But it was nice of you to offer. Most here are probably not smart enough to understand mr brooks (that is why they call his writings gibberish and similiar names..) and if they are, they are not willing to put the time in to achieve such an understanding. And they...

    Bull Flag question

    Context. Ask in what sort of context was the bull flag formed? Broad bull channel? Tight steep bull channel? Gaps within the channel etc...price staying above previous BO point (i.e. gaps between what appears to be bottom of the flag and previous BO points. That sort of stuff. Then I look at the...

    How to identify Choppy days

    RTH again. If we get a bear bar followed by another bar with a LL then we will probably get at least a measured move down. Enough for a scalp. Notice gap from top of pb to BO point . this is bearish. however at this point it only means 60% chance of a measured move south. 40% it can go north. so...

    How to identify Choppy days

    Here are two viewpoints for today. one from the perspective of the pre RTH chart and one with RTH chart. Notice the gray 50 sma on both charts and the time scale. And notice the PA context. so what do you think?

    How to identify Choppy days

    Correct. when there is confusion in a traders mind. Up or down then it is probally trading range behavior and time to look at trading it that way. And of course a BO usually comes then strategies are different for that senario. A trader has to play the hand they are dealt. I would beg to differ...

    How to identify Choppy days

    Your chart shows an easy chop day. You said it "the quote crossed the sma at least 20 times. That is a trading range day. A day for scalping. There is only one time that price was significantly above the sma and that started around 16:30 and lasted just a abit but prior to that price was dipping...

    How to identify Choppy days

    Put a 50 sma on the chart like in the example. The example is the ES yesterday 4-9-2018 5 minute chart. The gray 50 sma highlights the intermediate trend. if price is above it then more conducive to long positions. If below it then more conducive to short positions. On the chart we can see that...

    Why does Volume matter? Isn't non-involvement from institutional buyers itself a signal?

    It could be said that volume can depend on price going up or down. In such a case no transaction will take place until a seller backs off or a buyer backs off. Of course a seller can always hit the bid without a buyer backing off and a buyer can hit the offer without a seller backing off but...
