Volume--- how to use it and WHY

  1. This is what happens when you've smoked too much crack while trading.

    LOL, -5 :D

    Are you speaking from experience, or is this your way of conceding a point?

  4. LOL, that chart is as pretty as a sunset over the Atlantic Ocean, but lets not pretend that you use it to trade, or anyone else from your group does either for that matter, ROTFLMAO. :D

    P.S. What's that about a 5 minute pace?

    LOL, -10 :p

  5. Conceding the point that you're just spouting gibberish, yes. :)

    P.S. Attempting to remove the element of time from a horse race (of all things) is about the stupidest analogy you could have come up with, bar none.

    Thanks for biting...

    Other than synchronizing the start of the race, time is certainly irrelevant.

    Go back to my first example. Let's say that the SMA dataset starts at the 100th bar of the session.

    But, instead of giving you the entire session worth of tick data, I remove the ticks representing the first five bars and re-index the remaining ticks to start at 1.

    Because the data is still synchronized to the 1K share bars you can still construct the bars correctly and compute the SMA correctly.

    All that's changed is the frame of reference. From your perspective, the SMA starts at the 95th bar, not the 100th.

    Still think that time's relevant?

  7. Took you long enough to come up with some more rhetoric.

    LOL, :D

    You still haven't posted a chart of your fantasy example ... that's because the only place it exists is in your head. :p

    P.S. In trading moreso than anything else, timing, as they say, is everything. :cool:

  8. Yes you did . . . your comment was pretty clear even for you.

    I've never said it was the be-all-end-all but you and the other tire kickers sure like to come out in droves when I talk about it. Seeing that you love to make comments on it even though you have no clue what I do.

    I figure if you want to make up lies about me the least I can do it defend myself. I just don't understand why that offends you so much. Do others that you try to intimidate cower at your feet? Or is that only until they meet you in person?

    You just don't get it do you. If you don't speak to me I won't have a need to comment about your lack of social skills.

  9. Are you becoming irritated Smurf? Why the caps? Cross your fingers Smurf.

    Constant volume bars form as trades occur. The more trades the faster the bars are created, the slower the trading the slower the bars occur . . . natural creation of bars.

  10. Yep

    Just like with CONSTANT TIME bars and CONSTANT RANGE bars.

    My charts show there is less different between the three of them than all the hair splitting in the world will accomplish.

    And thanks for mentioning that I have no idea what you do ... I consider that to be a compliment. :)
