This sounds like what most trading platforms call "volume profile" or "volume at price" or "volume histogram" ... a large number of them now have this feature; I'd recommend a google search on this...

The premise did not play out as I had expected it might; the market made a new high a few minutes ago. The real trigger for me was the sustained strong volume on the selling that occurred after the...

I thought I would post this chart of today's action so far to illustrate how volume can be used. This is one approach, and this may not play out, but it's just one idea for you to work with, or...

If only it were so simple, that high volume meant either a reversal or continuation--then trading wouldn't be a challenge would it? :)

I encourage you to not think of a high or low volume bar by...

Exhaustive volume in context

Here is a trade I took this morning. Due to bad stop management I was out early for +4, but the target was +57 from my entry, and had my stop been simply at BE+1 I would have been home free for a...

It's a good book. "The Disciplined Trader" is also good, but drones on a little about brain stuff. "Trading In The Zone" is a better book IMO and just a fantastic read--Douglas really knows his...

I see what you mean about the delta divergence now. If that helps someone place a trade, by all means go for it! But it's really not important for me, I just like to see per-bar delta because it's...

I saw the volume entering on that bar, and because I had the channel drawn, was ready for a long trade. The bar dipped below to the .92, and then came back up above .95. About 30-40 seconds into...

VSA (volume spread analysis) is an offshoot of Wyckoff, and in my opinion VSA is overly complex and has tons of confusing jargon. Wyckoff, in its pure form, is pretty simple to understand and the...

As far as I'm aware this is a forum policy, I'm just making you aware of that policy. I have nothing to do with it. Mike sets the rules as the "big dog" and we follow them.

Thanks Mike--I second that IRT is a great piece of software though I don't use it anymore due to cost and lack of integrated DOM or chart trading.

Looking very forward to the webinar on Wyckoff!
