99% of traders spend their 99% of time in searching for a holy grail which can turn their investment into multifold. Question: does there any holy grail exist? Probably no. But you can "Trading In the Shadow of the Smart Money" by doing some volume spread analysis. (1/n)
We need to understand the importance of price action and volume. Any candle which has a wider spread say 1 ATR or 3% above means there was lot of demand and supply was less. That's why stock had gone up. To confirm check volume should be more than 25 day average.
When volume is excessively high then there is a high probability of involvement of smart money. Now question comes in the high volume candle who was the winner? Buyers or sellers. Follow up price action in the direction of the high volume candle, will give confirmation.
