@realsamseiden Everything between the controlling swing high + controlling swing low is the range. Ranges can be balanced or imbalanced, and ranges (can) change direction once the current controlling swing gets taken out by the opposing market participant
@realsamseiden I use volume per bar for Futures, the screenshot is from my execution chart (8500 volume/bar). I promise, thank you. I usually don't enter on these zones, but in this case, the tape revealed someone sold around 240 contracts into the zone, so I became a buyer
@realsamseiden Indeed. The distal line offered me 75$ worth of risk for almost 9.5x gain using a single full size ES contract. There is nothing better than being able to locate zones on the charts with unfilled orders using our eyes
@realsamseiden "Goldman Sachs doesn't say: Wait don't buy yet, wait for prices to rally a little bit", I'll never forget that comment you made on MoneyShow some 13 years ago, it still makes me laugh today. Long live proximal entries low on the curve off fresh demand outside the range
@realsamseiden Great post, thanks. I use volume per bar charts. More specifically 7.5k, 30k & 180k (ES Futures) and different color codings for zones to keep track of each zone's individual strength. My "x-ray" method looks like this on my 7.5k chart, always top-down approach
@realsamseiden 2 ideas from me: Authentic vs. non-authentic zones or how to properly identify fresh levels (not taking trades off old ones). Have a good evening
