I think this is what you are saying: A. Go with the color B. At the extremes price can only breakout or reverse. C. In the middle price usually only reverses at support or resistance areas. D. A color does not usually work for only one bar, so you can count on a short "trend" movement to profit by. A short quote, but out of context of course. Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Have a great day!

Can someone direct me to a resource that would explain the inner workings of this software that we trade with every day. It appears to me to be much more than just "matching orders", if it were that it would soon reach a stable state where buyers and sellers agree. Prices would not change. I have seen prices move into areas with no apparent reason where there is very light volume. This tells me something is driving it and exploring volatility. The prices appear to be unstable and move to generate volume, not reach market agreement. Does anyone know the drivers? Time, volume, dollar volume of trades? Without this knowledge we are trading against a "black box", no different than Las Vegas. Thanks for the listen.
