Re: XAO Analysis

I have seen a 15 day moving average used in conjucntion with the upper bollinger band of a 20 day MA of volume.
When volume spikes beyond the 20 day band this is considered excessive.
Your thoughts?

Re: XAO Analysis
lol, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. But yeh, your really just looking for imbalances between supply and demand over a very short time-frame. If a level is being defended, you want to try and work out if it will be broken or will price trade away from it (or as in most cases, it will be broken and then price will trade away from it
). Sometimes when some HUGE size appears and there is not a hard push to break it, but neither is there much selling to really push price away from it, price will hit it, come off a little, hit it again, and you can just place your order one tick infront of it and take the flicks back and forth. No real rules, everything works and everything doesn't!
But yes, by watching the DOM, all you are trying to do is work out how the big guys are playing the game as you said. If there is excessive volume but price is still moving, then who cares? Lot of sellers but also a lot of buyers. Doesn't mean buyers will stop or that sellers will overwhelm them, regardless of where you are in the trend. It's always dynamic, completely depends on that exact scenario.
I would say most intraday futures traders do so simply for the $$$ they can control at such a small % of brokerage. Though, I've heard there are plenty of guys who trade NASDAQ stocks intraday.
But generally, my belief, is each index, currency pair, commodity, whatever, will have it's own group of large players, with their own styles and personalities, and hence each instrument will act slightly different to the other.
bludy hard to put into words what im thinking on this ---- try again
Therefore (FINALLY !! ) those who can read the DOM correctly (not me) can gain a big advantage by sniffing out how the deep pockets are playing the game ---
AND thats why index and FX traders trade short term and stock traders look to higher time frames cause thats what the deep pockets do --- yes? no?

Re: XAO Analysis
Mazz.
How close is that to the suggestion I have posted.
I got this from Radge when he was looking at volume.
It fits pretty well with tradeguiders Volume bands thats why I have adopted it.

Re: XAO Analysis
actually i should qualify that statement ---- FX trades different to stocks --- index actually trades similar to stocks --- my apologies.
yes it does

Re: XAO Analysis

Re: XAO Analysis

I've attached recent EOD CBA chart
Those touching the blue line are considered excessive
It seems as though what I have proposed seems to classify more "excessive volume bars"

Re: XAO Analysis
Tech ill post a cupla charts on the Curtis thread cause they are prob more appropriate there but i will say im not trying to discredit the way you trade in any way ---- to the contrary --- which i thought would have been obvious in a couple of my posts
to clarify ---- i use volume for confirmation quite often in my 'narrow' world of trading but i can trade FX quite comfortably without it ---
y is that? because FX is a squillion dollar beast --- what might be considered excessive volume an a given day or more to the point , in any given hour or even minute ---- will turn out to be minuscule volume half an hour later --- im sure you get my point --
therefore u r right in the sense that it is still supply and demand but it behaves in different ways and time frames to stocks etc ---- ie one stock cycle (in time) might contain ten FX cycles ---- thats y traders luv it -- it is a T/A orientated traders dream ----- if u get it right lol
im not discounting the S/D but from my own humble experience, if yr gona trade FX u can quite comfortably put the VSA to one side and just trade the momentum ----- all just my opinion and should be taken with a grain of salt till people prove it for themselves ---
hope that clears up my position a bit ---- no agro from this little fella --- unless you say bad stuff about my MUM lol

Re: XAO Analysis
in all seriousness Tech ----- someone with yr proven T/A track record only needs a little screen time on FX and u would probably have it 4 breakfast --- ive been kinda saying this in a round about fashion for a week or so on different threads but i think u may have thought i was questioning yr current methods as iffy ---- uh uh !! --- just offering a different perspective
actually with yr stock background i think index trading would be yr best bet for short term stuff but youll work that out yourself ---
ill take a bet with you actually ---- once you try index trading seriously (not talking scalping either --- swing or even position trades or whatever) you will only buy stocks as an investment vehicle in the future
