{quote} Thank you for your comment, really appreciate. right now, I'm studying price action only... however my idea about "explosion moments" is because If I could filter these moments, when the market goes sharp to a side (does not matter which side), and use bars like renko bars or range bars, I could make some nice trades... can I post a picture here?

the whole idea is quite simple... almost silly
we could use "not-time" based bars (like range, median renko, renko) to filter noises and follow the market, wherever it goes

the only thing we need is filter the "explosive" moments... however I do not know if this is like predict the future... hehehe

this image is pretty clear... on that day the market moved like crazy (very good), next days very low volatility (very bad)
in your opinion, is there a way to predict when this could happen?

thanks

I would say there's no way to predict ahead when things like big moves will happen, however I find its better to look for retests of originating points of the large moves because what usually happens is that a similar move will reoccur again. So what I'm saying is, trade the chart rather than predict the future.

Tick range charts are useful for weeding out supply and demand made due to lack of trading activity (such as overnight moves or quiet sessions) from the S/D made because of actual active buying/selling.

Hello doggette, first sentence is spot on... no need for crystal ball. As for chart type I found it useful to switch around between volume (very rarely, at least for me), tick and time depending on picture that I want to see. After all, my goal is to trade setup instead just jumping in randomly, I guess...

I'm sorry, this part I did not understand... "retest of originary points"?


this example, two big moves occurred, then market went back, but no big moves for a few days...


thank you

other EU Indices are sinking, especially Spanish Index. I am predicting the collapse, especially with escalated economic sanctions against Russia. Good time for shark investors.

I know, it's a risky trade, but I've had 100 pips this morning on the fall, so it's worth it.
