tikitrader You posted a chart several days ago that had a bar chart below your volume chart. This chart had a description of "buy minus sell". What is this chart referring to ? thanks
I sim traded the HSI last night and found my groove almost immediately. Admittedly, it was a very easy day to trade it. On the chart are my buys marked by green lines, sells by red, and every trade was a reversal from the first to the last (the first and the last were initiating and closing). People's advice from here was stuck in my head last night "match your gaussians to your channels"... over and over I kept thinking, "you really can't". The reason you can't is because your gaussians always seem to be shifted to the left. In fact, on any chart where there is decent volume, it seems that my gaussians are shifted one or two bars to the left, sometimes much more. It dawned on me last night why that is... that can only be if volume were to lead price... lol. Anyone else notice this? Thanks, TNG
... and here's the blotter from the HSI trades. Worked out to 24,000 HKD per contract, or about $3k usd/contract (I was only simming one). Thanks, TNG
The chart is not a neccesary part of trading the sequences. It is a histogram of the difference of volume at the bid vs. volume at the ask. I use it maybe 2 times a day. The chart i posted ysday pointed to a couple bars where it changed the context and alerted me things may not be as they appear.
Still finding it difficult to tell which laterals matter and which ones don't - until after the fact. [/B][/QUOTE] DKM Oh the fun of laterals. I imagine your finding today quite entertaining.

managing to find my way through them with sequences but couldnt profit until i started entering on the edges going back in what i thought was the dom side. I kept getting sequence complete and change on the wrong side of the lateral and had to sit through negative position only to barely be able to wash when next signal came along. got chopped up pretty good until I made the adjustment. now back in positive territory.
