The platform comparison page says Livevol X doesn't offer direct market access. Would you please elaborate on this. I assumed it did with all the other functionality.

For me there is value in this max pain cash value for stocks. It is instructive to understand under what situations it works best and worst. Clearly it is only one part of a multi-faceted picture of a stock's price action.

I need to practice much more and reread the book to learn this cold. I think she did a great job with the book. I foolishly didn't realize how valuable VPA is for me until recently. I always start with daily charts and then work down to shorter time frames. I want to practice on many time...

Has anybody read: A Complete Guide to Volume Price Analysis by Anna Coulling? For those that have read it, have you found any instances where your VPA has been wrong or led you astray? I am practicing using VPA (Volume Price Analysis) on all of my charts and find it extremely useful. I am...

John Carter has a strategy that he calls Bad News IV Crush. In general, for stocks with large gaps down the put options IV spikes. If the stock price finds a bottom at support and starts rallying with volume the stock panic selling is over and the puts can be sold for a day trade. The put...
