I just can't stand losing..... getting better at it though. Occasionally there's a loss after a day and they're not big anymore. I used to risk more and more to turn a bad day into a good one and then when things went wrong they went really wrong. ...

Very usable... note the volume peaks right before the turns. Ivo

Ivob's channels, volume, and VWAP thread (EUR/USD)

Hi, I use FXOpen Uk.. however, the volume does not need to be the same in absolute terms as long as the highs and lows are the same relatively... are they? I found them to be very similar among different brokers. The market (all markets) moves in 1. ...

Ivob's channels, volume, and VWAP thread (EUR/USD)

Preflight check EUR/USD We already moved 94 pips... passed the high of Friday where price was rejected at resistance (1.236) and fell back. 94 pips is a lot for this time of the day.. .Chances are very high for a rebound back up vs price going down ...

low volume at BO....resistance is gone. 60-70% is perfect.

>Price breaks resistance by few pips, high volume is pushing it down again and volume is decreasing. >Does price keep going down from then on? Anything can happen at anytime, period. So the answer is no...There are no rules. Nothing is guaranteed. ...

Huge volume, very tiny range. I'd say that change is near. Change=sideways or down.. Ivo

EURUSD only

It's not as clearcut... I believe low volume moves the market after high volume. Buyers and sellers eat each other and then the question is who's left? I believe price is just trying and trying... and then the price level attracts volume or it ...

All right. I'm sure we'll both end green! :-)

I only see wicks at the bottom... Anyway.. don't like this priceaction at all so I'm flat with very tiny profit. yawn... Ivo

Is this a failed breakout? In my opinion not... 1. not reached trendline yet 2. NOTHING going on with the volume... at resistance we expect high volume 3. no retracement yet after going up 7 bars in a row. 4. closing around the same prices.. 5. ...
