Volume Bar Charts: a Tool for Better Insight & Decisions

Presentation: 43 minutes.  Q&A 20 minutes.  Total time 1hr, 3 min.

Successful traders often use non-traditional methods.  A "volume bar chart” differs from the rest because it uses volume instead of time on its horizontal axis.  

The market does not know time – it knows only volume, which reflects trading activity.  Each bar on the Volume Bar chart is marked not by the passage of time but a certain amount of volume.

Depending on the trading vehicle, a bar may contain 50 or 250 hundred thousand shares, 10,000 or 100,000 futures contracts, etc. – the exact number depends on a specific market.

Volume bars provide a unique insight into market behavior.  They can help you make better decisions, especially in short-term trading.  Kerry shows how to construct Volume Bar charts and use them to identify trading opportunities.

All classes are followed by a Question & Answer period.  The total length of a recording, including the Q&A, is slightly over an hour.  All recordings include a PDF of the presentation.
