Auction Market Theory and Market Profile

Yeah idk what to call it but it shows clear buyers come in the volume on that bar in my mind isnt as relevant as it dipping below the mini support we have to the left and closing well of its lows. So the spread in my mind is far more important in ...

won't the profiles be different for most people due to broker start times?

Experienced Input — Just wondered if some of the more experienced guys would like to give their take on this chart of ES today and point out potential entries. image

Pretty high volume relatively speaking on that 2 hour. And as you said the close is a good bit off the low. The next bar closes in the mid so the on very low volume and the next bar is up closing on the high on almost no volume(probably due to time ...

My prediction for next week... Spring break... and how will I be spending it? Reading Undeclared Secrets at least 5 times. Then I plan to categorize signs of weakness/strength, then think about ideal chart setups. Then spend the time going through ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Anyone feel like this method is a bit like being a ant trying to constantly dodge a gigantic steamroller and with one wrong rescue you'll be flattened?

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I believe the no chart thing isn't that big of a deal. I'm sure DS can see this stuff without a chart. But it's like the situation where I can also contact someone without using my computer to email them or phone to text them by sending snail mail. ...
