    Sorry. That's the opening low. Two bars later it seemed to break, but pulled back immediately to resume the advance. Therefore, I left the line where it had been.

    These make a little more sense when they're drawn in real-time. Which is why drawing trendlines in hindsight is usually misleading.

  7. Now we have a nice setting for what's next.

    We can do a part 1 of the original post.

    We need to find the new points 1,2 and 3.

    Then we can watch how to trade the trend.

    For intraday I do not go into market until after it synchs. Everything up to now is just a warm up to observe. What has been going on is just history before the day synchs.

    Synch means the cash and futures are moving in parallel price wize.

    If i were doing this with my data I would use volume as a leading indication of what price will deo to set up the daily trend that is coming up.

  9. Jack,

    Thank You.


    Could you discuss the the next step.

    This is what I got so far...

    1,2,3's......... draw the channels throughout the day.

    now what is this volume thing.

  10. Jack,

    Also the signifigance of the 9:30-9:50 time zone was noted.

    We have a channel drawn... we got a breakout...but it retraced back down tothe the top channel line and we have a half an hour to the zone.

    What happens now? what does volume tell us...do we draw it as a continous line indicator with varying periods...or do we use our histogram?
