That being said, there are many messages in this thread and 'indicators' discussing volume, scans that use volume as filters, etc. You need to review and determine what works for you, your time frames, and your goals.

The ideas you pick up on have to become your own, you need to take ownership, and the only way to do that is to start saying "I" a lot more. Michael
