Hi Soul,

 

In your second video...when the Ym was between the VAL and the PP cluster is where I went short and got slapped. If you weren't in a long position, your have shorted here too?

No I would not. Here is why. Any entry inside value is an automatic rangebound strategy. In this type of strategy you want to fade the upper and lower ranges. This is where the most opportunity exists with low risk. Entering at the middle of a range offers risk with no reward.

 

Although the YM did eventually break above value, there is no way of knowing besides hindsight. So try not to enter a trade in the middle of the range. Timing is key. Also, if you studied the market internals the TICK went from flat => negative => positive. There was a clear shift in market sentiment so a short would of been risky. The tape finally showed some buying interest so this is usually a good confirmation that price might lift.

 

If I was flat, I would of been worried about shorting and perhaps would of waited. Markets than broke above VAH and then pulled back to the VAH and daily pivot. This would be an ideal entry.

I think volume on tick chart is non-existent since ticks pretty much replaces volume (not saying it's a better or worse replacement because the chart counts the tick movements not volume traded per se). I measure the time of completion of each bar to see the pace of trading activity there. So instead of measuring volume on a time interval, it's measuring time on a "volume" interval.

Yes that is totally right. I due tend to watch for the of completion of each bar especially the first 3 opening bars. I find that in the opening, the faster the completion the more likely we will have a market with opportunities.

 

For example. I like to see the first opening bar completed in 1 minute. At times it will take 3 minutes which indicates a lack of participation.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
