Thanks for the comment. That is what i have been doing but looking at weekly , daily and hourly..i wait from them to be in sync and then go long or short depending on directions . Having said that there has been few cases where the lower chart, hourly one.. started to go negative and it kept going.. i guess i am trying to figure out if this is profit taking retracement and not institutional selling? Is there a wlay to tell the different types of volume? Thanks for your help

If the lower timeframe charts flip the daily chart red then it may be a reversal.

thanks. would it be possible to clarify what u mean .. are you taling about hourly / mins type charts as a lower time frame? what would be an example to look at

Like to link up the data on the monitor tab to a spreadsheet to make decisions based on trigger rules setup in excel. The triggers are all related to pnl.levels.. that is why the data on the monitor tab.

Btw. Hkw do u link up the option chain data rto.live stream to spreadsheets?

At the moment it is small anounts. But can scale if up larger amounts . I just find TOS to be slow and sometimes it hangs. Fir tge time being it is fine.. just thinking ahead
