EDIT: Funny Thing I have noticed, Remember my thing for 65 min and 130 min bars

At times the 60/65 min charts agree and other times they are somewhat different - start of day, 60 min runs from 9:30 to 10:30 and 65 min runs from 9:30 to 10:35, BUT, last 60 min bar of day runs 3:30 to 4:00 while last 65 min bar runs 2:55 to 4:00, hence the start of bars is 35 min apart, NOT something I would have expected until I dug under the hood

Several years ago, I used to get hosed using volume figures to trade because they changed drastically after hours or next morning and really screwed OBV and Vol spikes over, SINCE reading your stuff, I looked into stockcharts price/volume data and where it came from, MOSTLY an exchange call BATS, which was a very minor player when I was trying to use vol, and lots of HIDDEN trading went on and only reported vol after hours - appears that you have reasonably good luck with obv n vol, and I suppose the reason is that BATS has become a much BIGGER player and accordingly supplies much more useful data..

Foods For Thoughts that I never had before!!
LOL, watch me shoot myself in the FOOT one more time, or maybe MORE...

BTW, I will TRY to refrain from taking counter-trend trades, I wanna pass the more risky stuff for lack of expertise, and break my bad habits. When I grow up, I will go there LOL
