Trading using with candlesticks only and nothing else

You should take a course in TA.

 

Yup ; I can scan all the stocks in the universe I set the criteria for. Just have to know what you are looking for.

 

So someone told you that “something something volume is institutional”? What were these people’s qualifications? How do you know this is true?

 

Right — it’s faster to sort for momentum than to look at 50 charts of companies… point being you don’t need charts to analyze momentum, you just need price data.

 

I kind of picked it up reading about successful traders.

 

Charts are an easy way to look at price data. That's what a chart is isn't it a visually pleasing way to look at price data.

 

Ok so you don’t actually know.

 

Yep no one is saying otherwise

 

I make assumptions; Huge volume usually eliminates the retail investor. In order for stocks to move they need institutional support. I got that from O'Neil.

 

How does huge volume eliminate the retail investor? What if you’re just seeing a bunch of orders filling at the same time? And what makes you think that what O’Neil said is true?
