Sir O.


But I want to spend a lot of time on Volume Can OZ you will see when I get to your expertise

And I would like for you to Chime in as well I know you have done a lot of work in these areas.

If anyone else wishes to add please do.


There is also a Q&A thread which Id like people to use to keep this as clean as possible for those

referencing it.


To my Favorite Topic


VOLUME


Volume can be both a sign of weakness and a sign of strength.

People find and rightly so that this is counter intuitive. Strength yes

but how can it pre empt weakness?


What does high volume show?

(1) Supply swamping demand

(2) Demand swamping supply

(3) Supply SELLING into demand

(4) Demand BUYING into supply

(5) Accumulation Volume

(6) Distribution Volume


Technical traders need to be able to recognize each.

There is a difference and its NOT subtle. Its Glaring.


So How can I tell which is which.

Lower time frame data is very handy but you can see it in daily and even weekly charts.

However longer time frames mean it takes longer for us to CLEARLY recognize whats happening.


Here are a few charts building a volume story for SBM

Not all types are shown and there is much more I can help with as far as reading the chart for

possible future outcomes. Again TIME!!!! Grrr.


I will return but guests are here!

What we need to look for is not JUST Really Excessive Volume and range BUT

also CLUSTERS of unusually high volume.

Range can tell us a great deal.


In lower time frames clusters can and do form 1 bar in a higher time-frame

This can tell us a great deal about the final bar as to likely type of volume.
