Cool. I think you're using the candle colors opposite how I do. Here it looks like red means the close was higher (bullish). I'm not changing...
I agree with what you're saying here. I feel I do have an edge, but I have to wait for certain situations to arise. And even then, I swing trade...
Fun. It looks like the purple candles correspond to high volume events. Wish the blue candles where white or red. Without giving too much away,...
No it's not. You just have to know how to do it. But few do.
Those charts are showing the full day, and the trading day is at an end. Based on the times, this looks like some kind of instrument that gets...
I don't think the name of the trading instrument is as important so much as what class of movement it has. Some traders make money using volatile...
So true. I swing trade, so I find that it is best to look at it about 2 to 3 times as often as the time scale I'm using (daily). Otherwise I get...
Cool...I nailed it. But I'm still not sure what you mean by an equal volume chart. Can't you just put the volumes in the chart? Makes them...
Sometimes, you will see what I would call a "puff" of volume as people jump on the train for the ride up. So in a crash, you'll see the volume...

I think of volume as "market disagreement". When the volume is rising, it means that more and more people are in disagreement....some think the...
OK. You raise a good point about the zero sum game issue. It's like a situation where there are there is a comicbook show with five copies of a...
In the spirit of cooperation and education, look at this chart: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=IBM&p=D&yr=0&mn=11&dy=30&id=p53421107378 Do...
Can I jump in here and give my perspective of volume? :) Imagine comicbook conventions. At the convention, there are plenty of copies of a...
Hey there! You should look into Swing Trading. Think of it like running your own mutual fund. If you don't use leverage, and you study hard,...
Looking at a chart of PPC, it looks like July 1st all over again. It pops with a big volume spike (...the last one took two days instead of...
Ever fall in love more than once? :) Last time, it became moot because what I was doing suddenly stopped working. I think because I kept...
If I understand your question, why not do both? Find a trend in a long time frame, then wait for price to drop below the mean in a shorter time...
I've never reloaded my account. I don't use a lot of leverage....I buy stocks and leveraged ETFs outright. I've had drawdowns, but I'm a swing...
