Ok I'm a noob with footprint charts but had a couple of questions, hopefully can get a few opinions here. Basically just asking if these are general premises on how to use them? Looks like price often responds to the highest volume node and also big ...

Extracted Thread (per thread starter's request)

Think the most value is seeing how to use local structure to influence decisions. I know for me, this is something that I overlooked for so long.

Ratios & Harmonics: a Different Way to Trade

YM this morning Net long but we've pulled back a bit so far. Expectation is NSH until close below green line. Tough to get in the mindset to buy up here but yesterday I kept waiting for a short that did not come instead of following order flow. ...

I can't remember if you keep track of BC extensions at all. In this example, price pulled back just past the 382. Because price is in between the 382 and the 50, you use both of the correlations for those fibs to build your PRZ. The correlations are ...

YM 3rd drive completion here but can't fade due to dom orderflow. Might try and fade supply zone higher up. image

SOH here, possibly done for day. This pa is a bitch.

YM So far price just missed the 113. If we get a direct hit I might look to try and fade that depending how pa looks going into the level. Or if we go higher could see 3rd drive completion and possible fade there. We'll see image

YM +1 Tried short at rejection of supply / resistance and weakening of leg. Scratched trade when I saw reaction off the open and dom orderflow. image

My opinion on this setup. I place tight stops so going long there doesn't make sense to me. You guys that use larger stops could get away with it, however imo this is still a situation where you wait for better trade positioning. image

YM this morning Net long but price has already pulled back a bit. Will we see 1 more drive down? I don't know about that. There's a nice zone of structure in the gold so price would have to get through that. Coupled with the deep retracement and ...

Ratios & Harmonics: a Different Way to Trade

I've been 'hands off' mostly the past couple of weeks because I can't make sense of the pa when I'm reading it. Part of the issue I think was that I was getting confused by NQ pa and was too paralyzed to make any trades. I'm watching YM again but ...

Ratios & Harmonics: a Different Way to Trade

I switched to the NQ because I got annoyed with the small ranges that YM was trading in last week. NQ always moves and even though PA is more volatile, for the same amount of risk or less than I was using on YM, the reward seems to be bigger. I ...

No trades again for me today. For whatever reason I feel paralyzed, maybe it's something to do with switching to the NQ. Maybe I just need a break from charts for a little.
