cj,
In the interests of fair play you post a chart of a day when the Guppy Line failed miserably ..... and then we'll let you tell us all about "the Guppy Line". Deal?
Or not, as the case may be. And then we'll consider your chart to be just a WCE but a Well Chosen Example - a notion popularized by Jack Schwager and plaguarised liberally by my good self.

The GuppyLine (FairDinkam Line, CrikeLine, MateLine, BubbaLine, BonzoLine whatever) was referred to <b>in conjunction with a MarketDelta comment you made about how, on another very low volume day, trade was not being facilitated...

</b> You pasted a chart of footprints showing a minor uptrend that looked potentially like it had a positive trend follow thru coming since the foot prints looked 'promising' to the upside... but the rally died out...
On day's like today - 11/10, where there is only a whisper of volume... this 'game' can be played... i have posted two examples before but unfortunately used the word pivot point and every body went running for the hills...
Again i am not talking about a line i am talking about how MarketDelta shows when trade is being facilitated or NOT in a low volume venue... and how it differs from a more liquid high volume day where the MD & MP are more 'logical'....
don't know how much more ON TOPIC i can get...
As in the line becomes the focal point for a MarketProfile balanced day...
If you want me to post a example where the floor only drove the market back and forth thru a major line a few times on a VERY low volume day and then the market went zooming up 8 to 10 points without a nary look back then i can... since it would probably be a news event not facilitated trade... and a easy failure to avoid since it would smack you in the face in a few seconds...
otherwise <b>to those who are watching the inside paper has driven the market 5 more times back and forth thru the CrikieLine of 1382 since i posted the PIC...</b>
