Meta , I have to admire you for trying to construct the X and O charts , more than a decade ago I bought a book and did the same thing...hand drawn X&0 chart on grapth paper... after a while I gave up, I did the same for Ewave and gave it up too . For three years every night I draw each intraday TICK, TICKQ , TRIN, TRINQ , PUTCALL ratio ,VIX, QQV ,QQQQ price&volume on transparencies and superimposed them (put these intraday transparencies in top of each other) . Knowing how these snakes dance have help me on my intraday trading . I have become a snakes charmer ever since .
