Price = vertical movement. u can gauge sentiment, s/r, trendlines, channels, pivots, fibs, - and from price people made indicators - oscillators, moving averages, volatility bands, etc... - market geometry as well is great tool.
Time = Horizontal movement. yes you can time the market - its proven and i do it everyday. whether its planetary or static, or bar counting from certain geometric movement of time - u can use time to help you.
Volume = supply and demand is the basis of all markets. volume a well hidden secret...Ignored
Have read some of your posts. We analyse the time aspect in a very different way, but it is just as important as price to me.
VSA not for me, but as you say many different ways to measure volume. Combine price and time in the right way and you have an extremely accurate volume indicator.
Keep up the good work buma
ps As you say, fundies and news analysis is just not necisary if you are proficient at time, volume and price analysis
