{quote} Yes, but some MT5/MT4 brokers and even some ordinary Bank/broker don't have this problem...it's very strange situation in these rollover weeks..... Have you seen EUROSTOOX50 Futures...JUNE the same of March, as spreads and even volume not so low.... Probably we saw only a face...while Institutionals play their game
I should listen to my own advice and not trade when there is not enough volume to move the market. The result $80 in 5 hours.

I never watch Volume (indicators) I only search for levels where markets could go to (with or without decent volume)

When you see a spike on a Volume indicator you are alerady/always to late. The Volume spike on an indicator shows something what happened.

Price @ Weekly Dev POC now. In balance. On the edge of my Swing MA line. Bull/Bear edge.
T1 +65p 4 lot

US still Bearish. I wonder how that will work out now.
DAX up move was just a relief move.

DOW (+SnP) bearish. Price below this W Dev. POC and last Weeks POC.
Still a TPO pocket to fill up to 25.900/26K zone, but 25.750<>780 in the way as Res. zone

Old TPO pocket of last Weeks filled anyway

DOW flat +48p last lot

NQ +15p locked in last lot
FLAT +21p last lot @ Todays VWAP

Lower TPO pockets filled.

For now the US turned Bearish.

And it's not necessarily a single candle either, such as the move down in the Dow just recently - from 11.49 to the close of the 11.55 1m candle.

I think the key to this is "long move without retracement", and what counts as long move is the dependent on volatility.

Bollinger bands can be helpful. The 11.55 candle closed outside of Boll200 on 1m, and was followed by an inside candle.

The move from 9.00 up to the close of the 9.11 candle - outside Boll200 - is a similar example.

I never used Bollinger. I tried but I can't work with that channel.

T3 MA lines for the Renko charts as you see on my posts.
Renko charts for scalping and Market profile.

For Swing trades I use Ichimoku on Hourly candle charts. 3Hr/6Hr/Daily candles
Percentage levels on all charts the same. (Renko and Hr candle charts)

For Swing trade I don't care for Volatility or Volume. Just the direction above or below Ichimoku lines.
I just ride the waves in this kind of longer period trading.

The Ichimoku lines are showing the same levels on all 3 different TF charts. (so different period settings for each other period chart) Just to avoid mental confusion by taking a decision.

Whatever TF chart I look (with candles) the decision point is always @ the same place.
