No, I don't use moving averages at all. Why not 18 period? Why not 22? 36? 54? 500?

Thank you for responding to my query.

Excellent question. I don't agree with this aspect of POP's rule.

Thank you for your clear and concise answer @FuturesTrader71. I appreciate you taking the time to answer, and I thank you for your AMA today--it was probably the best so far, some very good actionable information in there.

Thanks again for your time today. One question I had but time ran out. Not sure if this has been covered earlier:

What is your view on using tick charts vs the volume chart you have?

And if using tick charts, is there a recommended volume indicator to use to help assess Wyckoff/similar type action?

Hi Richard,

It is a personal preference really. I prefer volume because I like to be in tune with "how much traded" but tick charts serve the same function. The difference really is when the bar closes.

I don't use tick charts. What do you mean by "to help assess Wyckoff/similar type action"? Can you share an example?

Thanks FT71

Hi Richard,
It is a personal preference really. I prefer volume because I like to be in tune with "how much traded" but tick charts serve the same function. The difference really is when the bar closes.

Hi FT,

By Wyckoff type action I mean the upthrusts, springs, signs of weakness, etc., along with trend lines and pivots. Attached is my chart for yesterday's open and first few hours on the ES roller coaster which shows where I am at now. Since writing my message I have studied stuff here and added the PriceActionSwing and WWaveVolume indicators that work alongside my earlier cumulative delta and Better ProAm/Sinewave. Trying hard to keep these to a minimum and seems about right now.

The WWaveVolume is an indy version of David Weis's Weis Wave and I may buy David's version later after completing his new book. He's a nice guy and should be compensated for his good work.

So I have a tick chart for monitoring trades, ProAm for large trade size, Sinewave for potential turning points, CD for market order behavior, and PASwing and WaveVolume for swing volume/wedge/etc info. Also using the Jigsaw tools to confirm trades. So far so good. Been profitable for a while now. Any comments?

PS. Note the blue trend line coming in from overnight Globex session, pointing perfectly to best trade of the day at open! Trendlines work!
