Since the challenge was directed toward you,
I figured that I'd test myself after you answered. Let's see what the guru has to say.............
I haven't had time to do much analysis lately, and I feel like I'm slipping a bit. In the past, I haven't tied volume to the formation very well. I understand breakouts also need good volume for confirmation, but some of the other patterns (HS & RHS, Double & triple bottoms & tops.) They have expected volume gains and declines during the formation. I'm trying to pay better attention to these details to rule out weak formations/consolidation. CMF helps.
Good Luck!
