Hello everyone My apologies that I do not currently have the time (or energy, unfortunately) to go into any great detail in progressing the thread at the minute. Unfortunately a trip to Asia to deal with a business matter is necessary as soon as ...

I have had a burst of energy and have gone on a posting spree I want to make a couple of general points at this stage if I may. Be mindful of prevailing trends when analysing the markets. Volume adds a vital element that will open your eyes to ...

The overall structure of the market has changed since I commented on this chart so a breach of 90.60 would be less attractive now. Back when I originally posted, a swing high forming and then a breach of 90.60 would have given us the beginning of ...

Aha, my hardcore chartist You are right to highlight relative volume as the time of day is highly relavent. It perhaps comes a little later in a trader's 'learning cycle' as they first need to get their heads around the concept of what individual ...

I'm sure chief will have his own reply he wishes to give to your question but it raises something I have been meaning to mention about complete price structure (price action and volume action). Yes, we learn most from high volume activity and low ...

Thank you chief Most traders are mis-taught the 'basics' and therefore content such as you have provided is both necessary and illuminating. Very few traders will accept or recognise this fact due to the flaws in their initial learning and the ...

Sometimes the best questions are asked by those who haven't filled their heads with too much faulty 'understanding'. Please see my reply to Astellas on the previous post for the answer. You are right to be mindful of the prevailing trend and to aim ...

Hello Astellas My, my - trend reversals are what gets your blood pumping, I see With the Gold trade idea, you are trading against a very strong trend and therefore need to see 'follow-through' to confirm that things are about to change. ...

Hello Scoot Good to have you here. I hope you manage to pick up many useful elements. Feb's V-method is slightly different to how I trade but the principles behind his reading of the markets is absolutely sound so you have chosen a good thread to ...

Hi Damien, The inside bar in your chart, combined with the lower volume accompanying the up move, would tell me that this was a retracement following a temporary exhaustion of selling pressure (as indicated by the high volume at the end of the down ...

Hello everyone Apologies for my recent lack of activity. My body told me in no uncertain terms that I should rest. I will hopefully catch up on all the recent posts in due course but it's great to see discussion and analysis on the thread so ...

No problem Damien - persevere with faithful determination and I'll continue to do all I can to assist your journey Kind regards, O N D

Most kind, chief - thank you I'm especially pleased to see you here as I have already become aware of the wisdom, insight and positive intentions of your postings. I am aiming to avoid throwing too much into the mix too early in this thread as so ...

It's not a horrible trade but I wouldn't have taken it, because: I don't use fibs so wouldn't have been thinking in terms of 50% area. There was no serious volume behind the move. It was only ever going to be short-lived. I guess there is an entry ...

GBPUSD - 4H — Here we go Damien (and others).... Point 1 Large bearish bar with increased volume following a low-volume price increase in previous 12 hours. Move is genuine. Point 2 Volume gradually decreases as we head into the weekend. That ...

Hi Damien Apologies I couldn't get to this earlier. There are some flaws in your analysis that I'll try to highlight by posting another chart. Kind regards O N D

It's available here, along with some other interesting things... url

Definitely. As long as you absorb the general concept and apply it to live charts, as opposed to trying to see it as a complete trading system and following it like a robot. Also, bear in mind Tom is primarily a software vendor now. You do NOT need ...

Don't worry, we will definitely be going into more detail. Just want to check who already thinks they have grasped basic elements of the concept In the meantime, please refer back again to the chart I posted (post #66) and begin to apply similar ...

Let's Make Money! — Based upon what has been revealed in this thread so far, who can now spot trade opportunities? Whomever is brave enough, go ahead and post them and I'll add some comments. I'll also post some of my own once I've seen how ...
