Very interesting. I'm also studying the short term volume charts at possible setups of entry in the 10K volume chart. I must confess that I have not made much progress. I see many contradictions in the volume. Probably lack of experience watching this stuff.

The same for me.
And worse, I have the feeling that I was doing better without looking at tape/fast chart. I think its because it is distracting.
Of course this is temporary, as with experience increasing, it would add more information than distraction.
Another thing is : I don't know what to look at, that is not visible in the entry chart (1000CV in my case).

I have nailed down the "issue" to the following:

Let's take a 3 BR where a direction from PA has already given the direction in which to trade. Now you get a BAR3 (for example, it could also be another setup like a 123 or 2B, etc), now I'm trying to see clues in the volume/price microscope to determine if:

1-I should go with the magic tick on BAR4 or
2-Wait for a more advantageous entry with lower risk or
3-Pass on the trade altogether.

So far I have no clue. Of course I can see hindsight divergences, etc, but also see contradictions at the same time.

Nobody said it would be easy. I'm keeping at it. It is nice to know what other experienced traders look at. I'll eventually "get it".

Anek,

It was nice to see you pop in the ahg1 chat room today. Thanks for the quick lesson on reading reversals. I wish I wasn't afk so I could have said hello.

Cheers,

-monday

Wow, the ONE day I'm not able to be in the chatroom, Anek posts in there?? :(

I think that was a very nice play! You rode that thing perfectly!
Thks. I had my second stop initially at LOD (1132 or so), but I trailed my stoploss too quickly.


I have to agree with you, it is difficult jumping into trades at HOD/LOD.

Did you see that HS forming at the last top of the tripple top? That gave a nice reason to enter at the start of that trend developing.

You are right, I missed it. At this time I was waiting for the prices to break the rectangle. The trend was not obvious enough to me.
But you are right , it was a bounce (mini DT) on the down TL joining the two previous high, we were in a downtrend as per the anchor, the previous highs were LH (even if very moderately) and there was an up trendline break with a lower high, and finally the H&S (at HOD).
Yes plenty of reasons to go short.
And in addition, this was the third time that this combination was happening.

However I am not watching a sec-chart, so I do not know how that could have been played there regarding volume? My plattform does not allow me to watch sec, anybody here have that HS in sec-chart? Maybe we can find a good entry regarding volume somewhere after neckline is broken, and the retest of neckline??

attached the 2 sec chart for the period of the H&S. I tried to find some hint and highlighted what I could notice on the chart. Any help is welcomed.
I tried also to look at 3 tick range chart, with filtered volume (big only) and a dot for big blocks. I can not show it as I cannot yet use my regular PC. But I could not see anything obvious.

don't worry about a chart that fast, anek says master 1min volume on ES before going to 5 second, otherwise it will just mess you up.

7 trades

Winners: 57%
RR: 4.31

After I started posting my trading started getting better.

Tomorrow I'm off, and I think Friday is OEX day so I back to trading on Monday.

I marked possible 2b reversal at 10:15(exchange time) . I think it's possible entry with many confluances:

-2b + vol div @ 1min
-anchor downtrend
-pivot
-YHOD

sorry for my English

Best regards
