UPDATE FRIDAY 2:50 PM CT
Here's what I've a decisively confirmed the last 7 weeks.
1. XAUUSD (OANDA) provides the best volume information for gold prices
2. XAUUSD (ICE) provides the best pricing information for spot but not by that much more over OANDA''s, we are talking 99-98 ratio for accuracy
3. GC volume information has not supported the pricing moves
4. there are giant questions in terms of what COMEX's and LBMA's custodians are doing
5. you can get opposing in formation by just sticking to 1 time frame on a zooming basis
For the purpose of this illustration , we will pick 9 options for time frame: 5hr, 6hr, 7hr, and so on to 13hr bars. You can get a strongly bullish 6 hr and a bearish 12 hr so in order to get a true picture, you have look at all 9 charts. This concept is different from zooming all the way out like 1hr to 5hr to dayly and weekly, that's just the same chart unless you have regression layering device.
For example, if you are using a factor of 5:
Then 1d, 5d, 25d, 125d, would give you the SAME chart because all you are doing is zooming with regression layering. Same goes for 2, 10, 50, and 250. BUT, they are different sets, there fore will provide a different picture, if you look at ALL the sets on 1 factor basis, so will get the TRUE PICTURE.
