Remember the intraday cycle: the first movement is the Asian Session expansion: this is done ALWAYS by a longer candle WITH VOLUME.

True. I suppose this is why Steve Mauro says to trade from stophunt to stophunt; the stophunt of pre-London to the stophunt of NY. So which volume indicator do you use and why?

This one (black and white versions). The reason is that this indicator has an ALARM setup. I always select the '2' setup for this parameter. I do not need to be watching the charts...They trigger the alarm automatically.

Spot on! This is the exact same thing I have been doing with this exact same indicator, but it's been sitting only on my M15 charts!

If you go all the way down to 1M you will see on those spikes down. MM gives it a shove initially. Sometimes a little nudge through resistance, and then takes profit at the bottom.

Remember this is dynamic. They have level II info on volume and stops and know exactly where the best nudges will work. Tricky foxes.

If you were REALLY going LONG after those RED SPIKES DOWN at 0.9255 you ARE BROKE. Same thing applies now. Careful over simplifying.

Before you run Banteka, could you please explain a bit further what you mean with this. Could you give a few short notes on "RUN FOR PROFITS" and "POSITION BUILDING".

1. Special Volume/Price Situations-
Candlesticks emphasized with special colors to denote special volume/price situations help
you quickly associate them with the correct volume bars.
A. Climax Candles
Candles where the product of candle spread x candle volume is highest for the 20 most
recent candles. Bull candles are green and bear candles are red.
B. Rising Above Average Candles
Candles where volume is greater than the product of 1.38 x the average volume of the
10 most recent candles. These candles are blue.
