Volume Based Charts Request for HELP

bh - some spikes were over 20% of the next candles volume. This is unacceptable in my opinion. If I put in 500 share bars, the candles should reflect 500 and not one contract over. "Just about right" will not work for me.

 

In the big yellow box on the left, you can zoom in and see that that candle is 680 contracts. That is 180 OVER. That is 36% more volume than I wanted. That's a problem.

 

And the difference in the appearance of the charts is substantial when looking at them side-by-side. We are not talking about an extra tick or two of movement.

So you find an old thread.

 

Then you copy a post of mine.

 

Then you paste it here.

 

And say nothing.

      Cryptos Too Slow. Can’t Scale, Too Hard?

      By RJo · Posted

      I'm still a dove regarding crypto trading. Not because of the instruments traded, but because of the lack of market centralization. It reminds me of the early days of forex trading where no broker-dealers offered trade clearing via the interbank market. This is basically betting against "the house" which is its own captive market-maker, has its own one-off price feed, and has its own one-off trade execution policies. As a side note, I always opt out of broker-dealers' arbitration clauses within 30 days of account opening pursuant to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. Unscrupulous broker-dealers and platform sellers don't even provide opt-out terms in their trading/subscription agreements, but it still exists pursuant to federal statutes and federal court precedent. Sierra Chart also collects unspent platform subscription deposits from traders in their website's online "wallet." This subjects them not only to FINRA liability but CFPB liability as well. I figuratively atom bombed Sierra Chart with this info and they refunded all platform fees and data fees that I ever paid to them before I closed my Sierra Chart account. On a more general note, virtually all broker-dealers are either partnered with, or straight up are, Wall Street investment banks and hedge funds. These are the folks that refer to retail traders as "cannon fodder" and "fish food." To me, any broker-dealer is nothing more than a counterparty to a series of my transactions. If I find any reason not to trust a broker-dealer, I'm out. Crypto trading, as it presently exists, fits the bill. Crypto owning/investment might be a different story, but I'm strictly a trader.

      Considerations for a Wannabe Trader...

      By RJo · Posted

      Consider this... While a human trader has emotions, a bot does not. All a human trader needs to do to code a statistically profitable strategy on a good emotional day. And it can be coded for any timeframe, intraday or overnights.

      7 Trading Truths You May Not Know

      Well said. Broker-dealers that aren't connected to centralized exchanges or the prime interbank exchanges are, in fact, casinos--where nothing extends beyond "the house."

      Forex Trading Tricks

      By RJo · Posted

      My latest trick... After successfully live trading forex for years, switch to trading futures in the U.S. Chicago Mercantile Exchanges. Futures spreads are generally 1 or 2 ticks with no swaps, and data fees and commission fees are fixed. As a caveat, leverage changes throughout every day based on international sessions, so this is not for small accounts.
