Re: Congestion Action

From my reading about congestion it talks about the nearby's position relative to the ET &/or EB - Am I right in assuming that the closer support or resistance is to the ET or EB determines how strong the strength is of the support or resistance?

Congestion Action

I think I missed this point in the course but my rereading congestion action for the current mkts situation

Its dawning on me that I may have not been fully aware of - How is the strength & weakness of support & resistance measured or determined?

The Trading Cycle

Well I quess this counts as Congestion Entrance Down I think I've experienced the the whole cycle now 2 weeks ago when I started doing my analysis the mkt was in the process of bottoming then last week we had the rally and now we have a top and a move back down and so it starts all over again It has...

Re: Time Periods and Mechanics

BTW do you tend to wait for the live bar to close before making your flow decision. Obviously you cant help but look at the live bar (turn off the monitor?) but do you prefer to see the close confirming a change then enter in the next bar support? I am thinking waiting for bar to close to analyse fl...

Re: Time Periods and Mechanics

I think I am OK at detecting changes of flow. I think the problem is I see a change of flow of a lesser time period (by watching time and sales or a LLTP chart). Perhaps I should just close these, lower time period tick charts do a great job of showing support and resistance levels and confirming wh...

Re: Time Periods and Mechanics

This is because once it it is clear that the flow is shifted (through) support holding the price almost by definition is moving on up. +++so? then just buy 4000tk support.... Perhaps I should wait longer and be sure that the LTP bar I am buying is firmly in support even if that means waiting for a ...

Re: Time Periods and Mechanics

*** I mean that support might not be offered. This is because by the time the flow has really shifted the bar that confirms this more often than not has closed in resistance. This would likely be between EB->dot, the final 'phase' of a change of flow is a close above the dot. If this is the case and...

Re: Time Periods and Mechanics

*** Yes absolutely. As we opened a fair way into daily support I decided to wait for an up cycle to get long. I anticipated it would be somewhere between EB and the (weak) dotted line. There where a couple of times that the flow appeared to shift and I got long. With that hindsight I was clearly bei...

Re: Time Periods and Mechanics

just wanted to follow up and clarify a couple of points (mainly as I didn't make them to well). An aside, Any chance of asking Charlie to do a special study on flow ? I seem to remember a post on the web board by someone else requesting same.

Re: Time Periods and Mechanics

In my revised plan I would rather have "enter when two LTP bars hold support and there is a close within the envelope". Not necessarily completely mechanical but some more rules (apart form buying support etc.) To more succinctly answer your question yes! I have made a lot of notes pulling...
