    Bid/ask spread

    Before electronic markets, there were people who acted as market makers. I understand that they made lots of money because that could buy at the bid and sell at the ask. My question may be naïve but with all electronic markets, do the exchanges now make the money on the bid/ask spread that...

    Speed of bars

    I have seen the thread you listed. It says" I measure trade intensity by the amount of trades occuring in a given time. " The number of trades occuring at a given time is not the same as the number of range bars being printed.

    Speed of bars

    On a recent day there were six times as many range bars in the half hour period from 9:30 to 10:00 eastern as in a half hour period later in the day. This also held true for tick bars. On a minute bar chart, the bars were much bigger during the opening half hour. The question I have is do...

    Volume

    Dackster said: Volume: The Facts. All traders should learn how volume affects price, without this knowledge of volume a trader will not fully appreciate the action of price. Once a trader has become adept and proficient in the art of reading volume then the trader should no longer...

    Volume

    Hi Dackster: When a market drops to new lows sell orders are triggered creating liquidity and the contracts are bought back up until the liquidity runs out. This climax is what you see in your bars, although to fully appreciate it you need to be able to use/read the DOM or the order book...

    Volume

    Hi Xspurt: Thank you so much for the superb answer and for taking the time to write such a complete explanation. I have been oblivious to using volume on individual bars other than when there is a volume spike. I have also been unsure about using the up/down closing of a bar as I thought...

    Volume

    Yes. Based on the subsequent drop in TF, big money seems to have been going short in that bar but the bar closed up.

    Volume

    Note: I don't use constant range bars nor volume. In contrast, I prefer volatility analysis to understand key changes in supply/demand. Mark Thanks for the comments. Would you mind providing some more details on what you mean by volatility analysis?

    Volume

    Speres – The high volume bar came at 9:38:42 eastern on TF #F on Friday. TF had dropped a couple of points from opening. The high volume bar was not at either support or resistance. I agree that the high volume bar needs to be read in the context of where price is but in this case it was...

    Volume

    I use range bars. A common scenario is as follows: An index will say be moving down. There will then be a bar that closes up with substantially higher than normal volume. The next bar will be a down bar at much the same price as the prior bar. The index will then continue down. My...

    I am done with trading.

    BP - Why do you post threads over and over agin saying you are quitting? Do you enjoy people sympathizing with you and wishing you good luck for nothing. You have over 500 posts in less than a year of membership. Is bogus posting your past time? In my book, you are a nut.

    CL futures - experienced tape reader please read

    Hi pwrtrdr: Do the over the counter trades get cleared through the CME? As you are probably aware, the CME website shows the intraday volumes of the contracts. Later, there is an end of the day volume report which shows a higher volume. There is a page that reconciles the volumes on the...
