Quote from Vista:
Being that the 14:00 ES (5min) bar on Wednesday was such on oddball, I was wondering if you could briefly go over how you handled that one. I know it was caused by back to back 100% probability Buy and Sell programs at around 14:00 & 14:01.
When trading
Intra-Bar (meaning multiple trades
within a single bar) one needs the input of 'finer tools' in order to accurately 'see' the signal changes provided by the market. Unless and until one has the ability to 'see' what
must come next on
every other bar which does
not represent an 'oddball' situation, then one has no reason, to move down the rabbit hole.
However, should you, for curiosity or educational sake, wish to head down this path
prior to the appropriate point in the development process, then similar circumstances existed in a discussion posted to the previous Journal.
I have often warned of the dangers of heading off in a wrong direction too soon, only to watch as people, ignoring the valid advice, hurt their devlopment by jumping into something before they had properly prepared themself to do so.
In other words, the information you seek already exists in previous posts. However, I do not recommend seeking the information at this time.
