Price and Volume: Strategy

[sulong]

Quote from Mishka:

IMO retracement in uptrend and early stages of reversal is like identical twins where their own parents might have difficulties to distinguish between them.

I find it helpful to think in terms of when and where a reversal is likely to happen.

Where... at a prior S/R area.
When.... after a significant trend.

So its helpful to do some study, and determine what is "significant."

When I did this study, I found that for me, about 70 5min. bars was the "minimum" of significant. (nq)

After that many bars have past in a trending action, a potential successful test was more likely then a ret.

Appearance of marubozu on increasing volume (2000-4000) with penetration of demand line A-A would confirm trend reversal and initiation of short position.

Do I going in the right direction DB?

This is excellent work, Mishka. I don't know you, but you obviously have put a great deal of thought into this, not to mention the time you've spent studying it.

Since I'll probably be closing the thread, I'll respond to your annotations via PM sometime today.

Good stuff.

Thanks db for the effort and assistance you've provided. I find myself reviewing and re-reading your files quite often. It's amazing what I notice on the 3rd or 4th reading that I didn't pick up on the first.

I'll be happy to work with anyone who wants to open his own journal, which is the offer I made in the other thread, before opening this one. But this has already become far too bloated.

At dbphoenix's request this thread has been closed. I strongly recommend that some people take him up on his very generous offer:
