Quote from cygnetnoir:
You will use price/volume information as it appears in the order book prior to those levels being traded, but you would disregard that same information once it is traded through? Does this not give a higher weight to potential market activity than actual market activity? And do you thus discount, if not outright ignore price trends and momentum? And what of bids/offers in the book but away from the market that get lifted immediately prior to the market trading those levels. Does this not make it more likely that you would base decisions on what is at best information meant to mislead?
Yes, that is a part of the Price Driver system-- following the big money and how it uses deception is a key factor. Yes, ignoring trends is also part of the system. Untill one can quantify how many moves in one direction increase the odds of the next move being in the same or different direction, I don't get the point of charting past price--- remember, the book is only one factor in the system it is the combination of factors that provides the bias for a sharp move. surf
