  2. Forget IB for this practice.

    I use E-signal and it seems to be able to give me the time to color TLs and others in time to keep up with the flow.

    I know others use other data services, probably they will want to guide you..

    Cheers !

  3. You might try Quotetracker and connect it to an IB Feed.

    look at the row of icons on the top of the window, you will see histogram icon. Click on that to show the volume.

    Definitely should download Quotetracker. It is free.
    Ninjatrader is ok too.

  5. FWIW - I have a different volume total for the bar at 10:30... who is your data provider?

    My 10:30 bar is taller then the 10:35 bar (the one you are asking about)

  6. In bundlemaker's video on channels he mentions a tip Spyder gave him regarding annotating:

    "Let the bar close (a) -- then let the next bar (b) close -- THEN involve (a) in your annotations"

    This is so cool.

    This puts you squarely in non-prediction mode.

    All of the tools we are learning here shrink this wait time. From 9 minutes 59 seconds backwards... until you hit a point where you have necc / sufficient information to reverse, hold or stay sidelined.

    I tend to slack off at end of month because I know I will get more tools and we all know more tools are better than fewer tools, right? Well, March comes with the shocking news, no new tools, do with what you have. This new reality upsets my well laid plan; more tools each month, will eventually make me a better trader. Facing with a prospect of using old tools for another month make me giving them a closer look. I think I just 'discover' some more of their usefulness.:D

    strange looking chart today, there is some sort of 3D cube on the chart.

    Here is a snapshot from TS for this time frame. Note...TS time is the bar closing time. Sorry I'm a little late...
