twalker, yes, you can change the on chart volume bar interval to whatever you like - 60 min analysis on a 10 min chart, or on a 1min chart, whatever suits you. I've got to go out very shortly, but probably tomorrow I'll post a chart setup however you like if you want a look at volume at price...

i use the matrix in my discretionary trading. I find the ladder style of order entry / market depth combined very intuitive and useful for rapid entry, amendment & cancellation of orders. how are you finding it?

no problem - its easy to know all this stuff but fail to put it into practice. one of the first companies I used to sell UPS for was so tight and stingy they never even had a UPS on their own server systems and PBX. Sods law and the first power outage knackers so much kit the final cost is way...

this is where the self fulfilling prophesy comes into play - assuming EVERYONE trades the same method at the same time with the exact same entries and exits - all buyers, no sellers and price goes thru the roof. The only issue would be whether you could get a fill, not whether price is going to...
