  1. So me saying that I like volume bars is seen by you as an "unsubstantiated claim" correct? This foum is based in the US my friend and as far as I remember I am allowed to have an opinion.

    Sorry guy but that is just a statement of my opinion. Just like you have. I could care less whether you like them or agree with my opinion. I'm here make conversation not to convince you of one single thing. If you don't like my opinion, ignore it.

    We need a new thread

    Price is to be discarded as it is "too much information"

    This should sort out the punters.

  4. How about a new thread called, "All opinions other than mine are worthless" and let those that are in that camp to chime in. That would give us new posters a great place to begin an ignore list.

    My account balance turns up and down on my exits and entries of price. Now, volume does come into play there as the more volume I execute, the more money the broker makes. It doesn't have any calculable bearing on price however---none. :)

    That is amazing, who would have imagined that every time you take a trade your account balance changes.

    Please, I want to know more

  9. One fine day you might have enough money to trade with size and you will discover a very different world where your sole volume can have a very calculable bearing on price.

    Volume, as all institutions know, is the only thing that drives the PA. Reading what the pros are doing is extremely useful.

    Delete your mentally overloading indicators and try it :)

    Thanks for that B1S2

    How do you enter and exit a real trade if you neither scale in / scale out and you do not commit to all in, all out.

    I know that you will have a way of doing it because you are a clever guy.
