I do not seem to understand correctly what is reaction and exhaustion
in my understanding exhaustion is the lack of transactions (in current moment)
points 3, 4, 4 ", 5, 7 is exhaustion, there is no increase in volumes

difference is that - exhaustion can exist only in relations to the future or past. You say buyers exhausted - but who putting the BIDS? Buyers. So are they exhausted? For every buyer there is a seller. No other option. This is transaction way of thinking.

You say LACK of transactions?

Compare to what you say LACK? You know the standart ammount of transactions? Or you compare to the previous ammount of transactions? if somewhere somehow transaction1Vol<transaction2Vol this does not mean this is exhaustion. If you think this is exhaustion when you EXPECT the opposite. If you expect you have expectations and you trapped within your mind trap. What if after "buyers or sellers exhaustion" market will continue even stronger to move where it was moving? Buyers or sellers refreshed?
Reaction does not works with the past. ANy reaction may be. You do not expect only one variant. You do not expecting.
You going with what market gave you.
This is YOUR way of thinking. Market goes higher and volume of transactions dries out. There is a lack of transactions.
Buers exhausted. Waiting for short. Aha. I am in. Short short short. Here we go as i expected. BOOM market goes higher and volume increases.

This is my way. Market goes higher and volume of transactions dries out. There is a lack of transactions compare to lower prices
Buyers/Sellers NOT INTERESTED to trade as volume dries out. I do not know where they want to go.
All i know THEY DO NOT ACTIVE here. Not that much sellers or buyers to stop out -not that much price will move.
This is NOT a FALSE breakout as you can see. No one play this game this is why there is not movement. Market goes down and i see Vol increase - this means now we have fuel buyers or sellers will be stoped i do not know. I am flowing with selling activity as it moves price down. Sudden i see sellers stop to HIT BID and i am MANAGING my trade.
What will happen next i do not care. I have +1 tick and trade is over.
This is 2sided way of thinking INCLUDING every part of system. This is why you should watch MONOTAPE and not much
of you doing this. THis is why never you will learn to think in the correct way about order flow.

give me please some examples to learn how to think in terms of transactions.

Frow away all FUTURE and think in 1 second frame. Only this. 1 ROW of your tape. Does it tells you what will be?
No. Try this exercise - PUT ONLY 1 ROW at your SMALL and BIG tape and try to watch for 2 hours with a chart.
Your brain will be not able to think in a patterns way and will be FORCED to think in another. Transaction way

in my understanding the reaction is the subsequent movement after the prints
for example, 1 reaction up, 2 down, 4.6 up ..

Reaction is the actions according to the INFORMATION that CHANGES existing percieved PICTURE of a market or has IMPORTANT meaning for PARTICIPANTS. Anything can be reaction - depends on a point of view. I am watching everytime i enter how market reacts to my entry even than my entry does not change anything.

@bloom, I posted this elsewhere but leaving this here as you follow Dr Hawkins. After using path to surrender, I came across another beautiful work by Michael Singer, essence is the same but offers another perspective. Checkout The untethered soul if you havnt already, beautiful work. Audio version is a pleasure to listen too.

Hello from Russia. Say thank you Google translator for meaning. I myself with the English at the dog. Woof woof.
In any case, glad to share experience with overseas counterparts. If you like the post, do not bother, write a response.
Your Alex.

In this topic I want to talk about the tape prints. If there is to say, welcome)))


On the color tape you see, in addition to warrants themselves and their speed, their direction. Have a warrant for BID or they were on ASK. This additional information can you shoot down and confused at first. Therefore, to start learning tapes look better monochrome prints.
Also for the beginning of the study tapes do not need to look at the limit orders. All you need is to look at the tape. Only one tape, and nothing more.
When you look monochrome ribbon, you will see how it behaves in important places and important prices. Important price is such a mark as HLOC previous few days, gaps, HLOC the current day. When the market comes to these marks, carefully watch the tape.
What did you see on it? Since the tape is one-color, you will not see if there were warrants for ASK or BID. Everything you see is the size of orders, and whether they are dense flow, compressed in time. There will also be visible to the tape speed. Whether it moves quickly and, consequently, there is a large flow of orders, and good volume. Or whether it moves slowly and in spurts, with pauses, which means that large order flow is not tight, and that low volume.

Important information given location and price, on which there are large prints. Depending on the context of prints will mean different things in different situations. Typically, the large value have large prints in the upper and lower price points.
For example, if there was a strong upward movement, and there are large prints at the top, then there is a high probability of rollback, and then roll back large prints at the top to mention the continuation of the movement. Same is true for downward movement. These situations a lot and need to know these laws. The same prints in different situations will mean different things.

Remains unchanged a universal mechanism or a chain, we need to work out. It prints and market reaction to them. Depending on the response we make a trade. Nothing else.
At the heart of any mining reactions are a few items.
The first and most important is the large prints, without which we can not begin to act at all.
The second element is the reaction itself, which may consist of both the pros and public reaction, and just from the reaction of the public. When the reaction of profies and the public, then you will see large and small prints together in most cases. When the reaction of the public, then you'll see in most cases, only small prints. Typically, the reaction is mixed, as many participants, but it can be classified by the share of large and small prints. If there are small, the reaction of public. And vice versa.
Reactions may be strengths and weaknesses. It is easiest to make money on a strong reaction. Strong reaction is accompanied by rapid ribbon and a large contract.

The only way that I have seen the Tape used successfully, is by watching the Tape at Critical Support / Resistance Levels.
If you see Selling at Support level, the price my break down . If you see Lots of big buyers at Resistance, the price may break up. You could also use the NYSE TICK at S/R Levels for the same idea

You can see support on the tape before it ever appears on a chart.

The problem is for every seller there is a buyer
If you see large buyers than you see the large sellers too )))
If you see large buying at resistance you see also large sellers at the offer. Price may reverse or brake 50/50

If you see selling at a support level you see large selling to large buying. Price may return or brake. 50/50


What is >50% the chance is than you see LARGE buying or selling, price will go SIGNIFICANT
Nothing more
