Once you arrive at learning about Gaussian Volume Formations, you'll understand how increasing black Volume refers to 'across the trend channel' and not simply "bar to bar." Journal One's 'Beginner Methods' provide a pathway, for those first starting to learn the methodology, to "get eyes on a chart" as they learn the real fundamentals behind why the system works. As a result, the answer someone gives you depends exclusively on where they sit in the learning process. A beginner might suggest a strict following of the rules, whereas an intermediate trader, might explain how one simply wants to see increasing black volume. An advanced trader might say, "as long as Price sits above the right trend line, I hold until I see red to red." A number of additional combinations exist as well for determining an exit signal.
With respect to Volume, if Volume continues to improve (as a beginner) along with Price, I wouldn't fret. Your goal now, should focus more on learning, rather than, banking profits.
