However, he has yet to show up :(

<WannaBeBOS> yeah. well he could wish us all happy holidays anyway... 11:16

<eminitrader> hopefully he's just on a short break 11:17

<WannaBeBOS> maybe he got a job or something

<NihabaAshi> He still post at ET but nothing really trading related. 11:18

<pat255> niha i tried to c the charts u indicated u will post on the site but could not find them..:( 11:22

<NihabaAshi> Yes...I found out last night that they were accidentally removed from Dacharts... 11:23

I will repost them again today sometime. 11:24

<pat255> kty ...

<szubaark_> u post the Seminar charts on DaCharts and not on the Seminar Thread?

<NihabaAshi> Once the charts are uploaded to Dacharts...I will post the direct links to them in the Seminar thread. 11:25

<eminitrader> Long ES @ 1275.25t -> Add

<NihabaAshi> However, ezboard itself does not allowed uploading of images to ezboard itself.

Reason why you need to use an image site to store your images or your own website. 11:26

I prefer to load my stuff now at Dacharts because I've been doing a lot more FTP stuff and just got into a habit of using them. 11:27

I have my own personal beta version of DaCharts but not ready to release it. 11:28

Its too much maintenance work that I don't have time to do.

<WannaBeBOS> lol 11:29

i can understand that

i am amazed at how much you get done as it is 11:30

<NihabaAshi> I've seen people use Dacharts for more than just trading charts :)

<szubaark_> Long YM @ 10938

<jbraswell> Long ES @ 1275.75 12:39

<NihabaAshi> szu...nope...as soon as it became a WRB (I ignore two earlier WRB exits)...I dumped my remainder at a pt5 or pt6 (not sure which). 12:42

It's been a long time since I've captured a pt5 or pt6.

<WannaBeBOS> its weird that happened on such a low volume day 12:46

<szubaark_> shows u Volume isnt everything 12:47

Exited all YM Long @ 10938 --> 0 12:49

<WannaBeBOS> i think niha is that good too 12:50

<jbraswell> day was all set up for move higher, it seemed...maybe now threatening a DT? 12:53

<GoodMood> DT = ?

<codehead> downtrend

* RacerX sets mode: +v codehead

<GoodMood> thx

<jbraswell> double top 12:54

<GoodMood> ok, sounds better

<codehead> oh

lol

thot you were talking ER, which had a higher high 12:55

in fact, only naz has potential dt

<jbraswell> why not ES?

<codehead> i saw hgher high ES... let me dbl check 12:56

<GoodMood> what is your exact definition of a DT ?

<codehead> or you mean not intraday

<jbraswell> no, I mean intraday; do you generally require the second high to be lower for it to qualify?

<codehead> well, i just thought the break of the high was a little too much to call dt 12:57

if it gave way here, i'd just say it topped out

so that's why i thought dt=downtrend (reversal) 12:58

so far, holding up fine, tho it didn't do a higher low

<jbraswell> yeah, would wait for a move below 1275

give or take

<GoodMood> Shorts YM @ 10934

<codehead> yeah, cash bounced 1268 again, but would look toppy if it loses that by much 12:59

dow so far made higher low 13:01

<NihabaAshi> szubaark...I think volatility is more important than volume although I didn't believe that many years ago. 13:03

<jbraswell> so, niha, instead of looking at the up volume vs. down volume on a day, would you look at instead, say, up range vs. down range? 13:04

<NihabaAshi> Yes...that's part of it.

However, volume is much easy to use :) 13:05

easy = easier

<jbraswell> right 13:06

<NihabaAshi> I make more mistakes trying to analyze "volatility" in comparison to volume analysis.

I've gotten better but still have room for a lot of improvement.

<jbraswell> interesting 13:07

<eminitrader> Covered 1/2 ES Short @ 1274.50 --> + 1 13:12

<NihabaAshi> For those in here that's interested in measuring volatility via an indicator... 13:15

Trying playing with Chaiken Volatility, Volatility Ratio, Average True Range and Bollinger Bands. 13:16

I myself no longer use indicators so you need to take my suggestion with a grain of salt :) 13:17

<szubaark_>	Long YM @ 10938
<jbraswell>	Long ES @ 1275.75	12:39
<NihabaAshi>	szu...nope...as soon as it became a WRB (I ignore two earlier WRB exits)...I dumped my remainder at a pt5 or pt6 (not sure which).	12:42
	It's been a long time since I've captured a pt5 or pt6.

<WannaBeBOS>	its weird that happened on such a low volume day	12:46
<szubaark_>	shows u Volume isnt everything	12:47
	Exited all YM Long @ 10938 --> 0	12:49
<WannaBeBOS>	i think niha is that good too	12:50
<jbraswell>	day was all set up for move higher, it seemed...maybe now threatening a DT?	12:53
<GoodMood>	DT = ?
<codehead>	downtrend
* RacerX	sets mode: +v codehead
<GoodMood>	thx
<jbraswell>	double top	12:54
<GoodMood>	ok, sounds better
<codehead>	oh
	lol
	thot you were talking ER, which had a higher high	12:55
	in fact, only naz has potential dt
<jbraswell>	why not ES?
<codehead>	i saw hgher high ES... let me dbl check	12:56
<GoodMood>	what is your exact definition of a DT ?
<codehead>	or you mean not intraday
<jbraswell>	no, I mean intraday; do you generally require the second high to be lower for it to qualify?
<codehead>	well, i just thought the break of the high was a little too much to call dt	12:57
	if it gave way here, i'd just say it topped out
	so that's why i thought dt=downtrend (reversal)	12:58
	so far, holding up fine, tho it didn't do a higher low
<jbraswell>	yeah, would wait for a move below 1275
	give or take
<GoodMood>	Shorts YM @ 10934
<codehead>	yeah, cash bounced 1268 again, but would look toppy if it loses that by much	12:59
	dow so far made higher low	13:01
<NihabaAshi>	szubaark...I think volatility is more important than volume although I didn't believe that many years ago.	13:03
<jbraswell>	so, niha, instead of looking at the up volume vs. down volume on a day, would you look at instead, say, up range vs. down range?	13:04
<NihabaAshi>	Yes...that's part of it.
	However, volume is much easy to use :)	13:05
	easy = easier
<jbraswell>	right	13:06
<NihabaAshi>	I make more mistakes trying to analyze "volatility" in comparison to volume analysis.
	I've gotten better but still have room for a lot of improvement.
<jbraswell>	interesting	13:07
<eminitrader>	Covered 1/2 ES Short @ 1274.50 --> + 1	13:12
<NihabaAshi>	For those in here that's interested in measuring volatility via an indicator...	13:15
	Trying playing with Chaiken Volatility, Volatility Ratio, Average True Range and Bollinger Bands.	13:16
	I myself no longer use indicators so you need to take my suggestion with a grain of salt :)	13:17
