First, It is possible to have No Demands on down bars, if they are making higher highs. It warms my heart as Gavin is expanding his definition to include this. Yes, we're ahead of the class cause we already knew "buying" bars that closes lower with ...

End of a Rising Market, and Bag Holding are two specific type of squats as identified by Tom Williams. Broadly speaking, I would refer to any candle/bar that closes HIGHER with a narrow range on increasing volume as an Up Squat. And any bar that ...

Just wanted to finish my thought on this question. I have used my chart as you asked what would I have done here. It is pretty easy. Price stays above the BPL which tells me the trend is up. Therefore I am only looking to get long. The Up Thrust and ...

No Supply No Supply Test. The Wide Spread up candle on high volume is actually absorption volume, which is strength and not weakness. Looks like weakness followed by an Up Thrust but with no volume as the market moves down, it can only be that the ...

Been asked this a few times by PM so I’ll answer it here. The Dynamic Balance Point Line is based on Drummond Geometry, the work of Robert Krause, and Chaos Theory (Bill Williams). It's actually very simple. It is meant to do the same thing as TG ...

Sorry about that. I ment to mention that the opposite is true as well. So both are KRB bars one is just a downside reversal and the other an upside reversal. For the downside, it would be a buying bar where the open is higher than the close pf the ...

NR7: Narrow Range 7 bar- this bar has the narrowest range of the last 7 bars. NR4: Narrow Range 4 bar-this bar has the narrowest range of the last 4 bars. These deal with volatility and are the work of Tony Crable I believe. From a VSA point of ...

No Buying pressure would seem to indicate that the SM is not interested in higher prices. That Up thrust becomes a good place to get short for some. Which is one reason that I think that the SM actually wanted price to rise so they could suck in th ...

Squat is the general term that Bill Williams came up with to define those bars/candles that have a decreasing range and increasing volume. I tend to us Up Squat and Down Squat respectively. Up means it closed higher than the previous candle/bar and ...

If you are talking about the current down move, stopping volume would not appear as the market moves up. But:

What move are you talking about? The move on my chart shows a nice 2 Candle reversal. The most important element is that the volume on the first candle, the down candle, is "Yao Ming". It is the largest volume bar that can be seen for some time. ...

Again, I don't use Hulls but I think this is kind of what you are talking about. The market gives a beautiful 2 candle bottom reversal and then comes back and finds no supply in the range of the reversal candle. But price is below the BPL and BPL is ...

My post about the EURO daily must seems to be getting ignored. The current market condition is strong. Yesterday's candle was an increasing volume upcandle that opened lower, made a lower low than the previous candle and then closed higher than the ...

Now we're getting more advanced. After the low volume signals like No Demand, No Supply or Tests, come the narrow range high volume singals. A narrow range up candle on increasing volume that closes in the middle is a very good entry signal into ...

Higher high than the previous candle/bar's high. Lower low than the previous candle/bar's low. No Demand is not confirmed unless the next candle/bar closes down. A No Demand that makes a lower low and not a higher high, a "selling bar", is only a No ...

Thanks for all the replies to my query. I was hoping for more, but maybe some of you knew where I was going and decided not to spoil my thunder. Unfortunately the market was up yesterday which may take some of the shine off my answer. To answer the ...

Too early to tell. A down bar on high volume always means selling. If, however, the volume is excessive and the next abar is up, then we know there was actually buying taking place. We need to wait and see if the next bar is up or at least until the ...

When plotting the S/D zone I like to use the range of the candle. That is the high and the low for the top and bottom repectively of the zone.

The first chart is mal's TG chart of the Euro on a daily tf from last week. He noted the possible "End of a Rising Market" at the right edge. I remarked that my chart did not show the high volume , but rather low volume creating a possible No ...

I don't trade GBP. I was answering a question and only looked at the chart interval shown. You may well be correct about the higher timeframe weakness. As I recall mal showed a chart with a possible "end of rising market" on the GBP daily chart last ...
