First you must understand that markets are dynamic systems, changing every day as a result of new information. These indicators provide an indication of probable direction based on current information and reliable conditions favoring reversals in the past. This is the best we can do since no one knows tomorrow. Obviously as markets extend their move in one direction or another, there will be a time when a reversal occurs marking a top or bottom. The signal may not be confirmed by the next days action but at least you are forewarned of the condition and possibility of a reversal. This information is vital in setting stops to protect profits or enter new positions.
The question of if they are short term signals depends on the trading strategy of the user. Investors (longer term) may use them on weekly or data to determine where to enter or exit just as day traders use them on intraday data to provide information on the length of their trades. Indicators, in and of themselves, are not a trading methodology and perhaps that is way they fail for so many traders who want to take thinking out of the process. I use them as part of an overall methodology which works best when a confirmation of the warning is received. For example, if a have a sell signal for tomorrow, I will want to monitor market conditions on that day before entering a position. If market bias is strongly bullish after 20 minutes, I know conditions are not right yet for the short.Generally, when I try to trade the anticipation rather than the confirmation, I must undergo big drawdown or losses.
Hope this helps.

Looks interesting.  Is this more a short term, contraian method with very close stops.
 The reason I ask is.  If the red dots are sells and the blue dots are buys.  It seems that the method is doing more selling when the market is going up and more buying when the market is going down.
 Looking like a contrian type method.
 Is that correct?   Really hard to know much with a chart and no info about what I am looking.

Market reversals are not a function of volume alone but depend on time, price and volume.Here are some indicators that do fire at tops and bottoms and consider all three.

Ben/Jeff-

Thank you! Any feedback as to user experience w/ this
indicator?
Tks for any comments.

I must be overlooking something because it doesn't seem to
work as
the theory purports. Let's look at an example, either at
tops or
bottoms. Now the so called 'smart money' are supposed to
telegraph
their movements by either distributing at tops and
accumulating at
bottoms, right? Then why do all the tops show green bars,
and the
bottoms show red bars? I mean 390 different calculations,
and there
are few red bars and tops or green bars at bottoms! ???

I mean this seems to be the case much, much of the time.
So, what
am I missing, or how does one use this indicator?

My understanding is that all the other indicators offered
by
Hawkeye are based on some other concept than volume. I
think they
make most of their income from seminars and selling
software as
opposed to trading this concept. So what else is new?
