I looked at the index market I trade in the time frame you used in your example, and I was able to identify more instances where the volume relationship you adhere to did NOT work. Imagine my shock and surprise.![]()

...You can see the selling climax with bigger Buy Volume than for some time...
The relationship you refer to is either there or it isn't. I found that, more often than not, it isn't. That's the sum and substance of the thing. Everything else is clutter.Quote from Xspurt:
If you mean using the techniques I have glanced on here, then I wouldn't be surprised. I have stated it takes considerable time to learn and build up your skill level. Using what I have shown is actually near to useless as you will get lots of signals that seem false because you need much more skill to read.
What is your background and skill level on volume reading? (i.e. style of volume reading and length of time in practice.)

And while I enjoyed the books, I did not find the volume component to be useful to me in my actual day-to-day live trading. Perhaps when you go live you will find differently. Keep us posted.
(How about those birthers, eh?)

How do you enjoy a trading book that is not useful? I use them for lighting fires.
I enjoy your lack of evidence in trading as much as Osama![]()

You exhibit all the frustration traits of a person with some trading knowledge but lacking the courage to pull the trigger.
