  2. This definitely falls under the heading of "mumbo jumbo". :p

    I can't believe there is someone stupid enough around here to fall for that one ... oh wait. :D

  6. Nah ... it's your use of multiple aliases to constantly troll Elite Trader, while lying about everything, and waxing prosaically about the virtues of volume charts that is pathological.
    :p :( :D

    You are the one with 8 alias and posted confirmed lies. Someone should tell your mother, if you had one.

  8. Sure, like I said show me you are serious.

    Mandy says it's mumbo jumbo but it's there for all to learn. I have given you a reference to learn from and examples you can observe.

    Now tell me what you have learned.

    I am halfway through my 3rd decade in this business and ration tuition to those who convince me I am not wasting my time.

    There's a lot of people on ET who will be no more able to trade better in 10 months or 10 years because they already know everything that works or doesn't work. You may not be one of them but convince me you are learning something about volume.

  9. Especially since most of what is needed to know about volume is already here, on this thread.

    In fact, in the last week, someone has posted an entry method, a monitoring method,and a risk management method.

    There is a fully working system right here on this site for those "serious" about learning.

    After a quick read on Tufte via Wikipedia the thing that comes to mind regarding your method is the volume Gaussians. Are you referring to the volume Gaussians as a Sparkline? I suppose reading the Gaussians themselves would remove the anchor point for a volume bar.

    But reading the rest of your reply I think this is not what you meant.

    Hmm, not sure how "easily achievable" this might be, but will give it some thought. :)

    Thanks for your reply.
