This topic always causes a lot of debate, and many people are attached to using volume as an indicator (much like me and Fibonacci). I have found that volume does not give me an edge, so I discarded it long ago as an indicator. It is important to note that I mean "for me"...I don't dismiss that others use volume and it successfully adds to their trading. That is why I always harp on "create your own style" and "use what works best for you".<br /><br />Thanks!Trader-Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148372813905710453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9459815.post-88456543381830222942011-03-09T19:03:19.553-05:002011-03-09T19:03:19.553-05:00Trader X, Michael, Ken, et al,
Thank you for your...Trader X, Michael, Ken, et al,<br /><br />Thank you for your feedback and insights regarding watchlists. The whole current versus relative volume was always a question mark for me.<br /><br />Michael, thanks for the heads up. I did a search but couldn't find anything about X's take on relative volume. (Maybe it's hidden somewhere in comments?).<br /><br />If current volume (and not relative volume) is what you, Ken, and X are talking about with RealTick, that's great news for me. Why?<br /><br />I've always felt obligated to use extraneous websites and subscription services to access a relative volume scan.<br /><br />But if you guys don't find such a scan necessary for your own trading, it makes me feel much better about streamlining by simply using my broker's trading software which only sorts by current volume (shares traded since today's open).<br /><br />I'm always looking for ways to simplify my trading routine, so I appreciate the permission to "let go" and keep it simple. No more superfluous website and subscription hopping! :DChips and Salsanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9459815.post-20256391727106379172011-03-09T15:47:09.344-05:002011-03-09T15:47:09.344-05:00X and readers,

If someone wants to get me a copy of a sample watchlist from RT pasted into Excel, both before sorting/culling and after, I'll write a macro that turns it all into a one click process and freely distribute it. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks for all you do, X.Prospectushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015439430885405767noreply@blogger.com
