Relative volume on break candles
A break without standing out against recent volume is usually noise—not confirmation.
Notes
Short reads before your next confirmation session
Practical notes on relative volume, close location, quiet retests, and hall prep—written for students who already open a chart.
Close location still matters with volume
Strong volume into a mid-range close rarely confirms a breakout the way a close beyond the band does.
Quiet retests after loud breaks
After a high-volume break, many healthy retests arrive on lighter volume. That calm is often useful.
Hall prep for volume sessions
Arrive with three symbols, volume visible, and one unanswered question about a recent break.
