Thanks! |

Any comments on the post below? It seems like there are some posts that aren't really in agreement with it: Quote:

There is no other way that prices can move. | Sorry if it's been covered and I missed it. I'm trying to keep up with the thread. If you could help point me to the post(s)... Thanks People! |

Thanks for sharing it.
The more that I study stuff like what's in this thread - granted, I don't understand or necessarily agree with it all 100% - the more I see that it's really very practical and not that hard to implement. Just like you've shown in your post. Let's put it this way... I've gotten one hell of a lot better at my trading since I've started to move this direction. Of course, I'm still just getting started. |

Of course, to see the order placement in advance would be great. But, to be looking at the chart with the intention of letting the orders reveal themselves as the market runs into them and then draws others on the sidelines in (or not) is still good. Yes, you're chasing the price a bit I suppose but, it's working a hell of a lot better than what I was previously trying to work with - indicators and Grails.
Thanks to all posters! |

I just need to keep my charts and my head completely uncluttered and work on my skills. |

The forum's been having a real dry spell lately - unless you count the astrology thread -  |

Really massive pools associated with these algos, no doubt!
The "white paper" section of the site also has some nice stuff (e.g. Algo Approach) to see how institutional trading is done.
I appreciate your posts - you know what the hell you're talking about. Thanks! |

On the contrary. Quote:
