  1. For me, it has to be time.

    The reason is that it is a consistent cadence, and I trade markets without volume. And, my original exposure to the markets was thru Gann analysis, to which I happened to be well suited.

    If one has access to volume, it is no contest. Volume charts give a true picture of what traders are out there doing. I use time charts that require a multiple layering of range and volatility.

    Volume charts can be traded nearly without any indicators. Just support and resistance.

    I however am ambitious and refused to accept that I could not trade the largest and most liquid market on earth. Regrettably, there is no volume. But that's okay, for there is always another way.
