Definition of a trend

  1. Throw in the pitching and the base running fractals too. Scouting and the way the skill leagues are stacked is a sexy thing too.

    It was a bit humorous that first analogy.

  2. Time and price are but different measurements of the same thing.

  4. No, you do not make the bars in equal increments of ticks, you make them in equal increments of shares or contracts. That is the increments the markets are traded in not transactions. What is the name of your broker that pays you in Time, Range or Transactions again? I didn't catch your response.

    You sound like some old man refusing to LOOK at an HD TV because you just KNOW there is NO WAY POSSIBLE the picture can be any better or clearer . . . it makes no sense to you.

    This absolutely doesn't make it more chaotic is smooths out the price action to perfectly consistent oscillations but then you would have to see that and use these charts to understand that concept. The same reason you test drive a car to insure it IS everything you want in a vehicle. No one normal buys a car without test driving it.

    Everything YOU don't understand is impossible and makes no sense. God forbid if you need the prostate surgery and the doctor says they have a new type of surgery that they go in through your navel, you be sure to tell them . . . it makes no sense, ok.

    Only those who believe the market is some mystical gambling casino as yourself would believe there is NO possibility to create consistently readable charts.

  5. Nicely constructed! Clear analogy.

  6. Correct and pure price/volume bar charting is a more accurate measure of price's natural cyclic movement than time charting.

  7. I know all too well, I get brownian motion when ever I eat Mexican food.
