Hey Spring, yep good spot... I tried to hide it, but... I don't use delta for entries really, It's there more for an additional gauge of who's in control. For example if the delta is moving sharply higher (indicating a lot of traders lifting the ...

Double tops doesn't indicate downside to me personally. I know it's taught that way, but when you look back, there are infinitely more examples of cases where Double tops or bottoms don't hold as proper swing points. When I see a double top, ...
