It all makes sense -- I use bars the same way, except mine are volume based. That is, a tall bar has a different meaning from a short bar. But one thing I don't get still: let's say your last and...

I'm certainly not an expert of any kind in fundamentals. However, I think no matter what one's method involves, it absolutely helps to understand current market drivers. Recently this would include...

Thanks for your post -- two things come to mind here:

1) It's definitely not impossible for retail traders to have a fundamental-first approach. It's true that they don't have the same level of...

What do we really mean when we say "gap"? We mean that there is so little interest to sell (in a gap up) or buy (in a gap down) that the market ("market" means the order book, specifically the BBO...

That's a very good point -- there are many derivative pieces of information that, if enough entities use it as a data point (say, a 200 day MA), gains relevance, and then becomes relevant enough to...

Great post and thank you -- actually, I use a chart similar to this as well, except I don't plot a closing price. I will double the volume occasionally to see a more zoomed out view, and vice versa....
