On the picture below, I enabled a feature that shows where the POC was at any given time today (yellow solid line that you see stair stepping down). It's nice to have in order to look back in time and learn how price interacts with POC. Take a look ...

Nice. Trading the breakout?

The indicator lists the band parameters as "Standard Deviation Multipliers". They are set for 1, 2, 3 which is the default value. Not 100% sure how it does the calculations. I usually keep the chart with VWAP and volume profile set on 5 minute. ...

Nothing like a little afternoon delight. LOL! I said I wasn't going to trade until Friday but this set up was picture perfect. 81 ticks profit in less than 10 minutes. image

I actually use a form of pullback along with a few other things like the chart above. I figured out a way to combine them and it works well for me. Your system is great as it is. I am always experimenting and studying charts. It is my video game ...

Volume has its place in trading futures. Below is one of the charts I look at for NQ. It has two indicators on it. VWAP with standard deviation bands and order flow volume profile. The yellow line at the bottom of the screen that price just reacted ...

Nobody wants to take a position this close to interest rate announcement. The swings are narrowing. Going into a wedge. Those are the hardest for me to figure out where it will break out. Not worth it right now. Hit my target early. Sitting on the ...

I think I understand your entry method. Can you explain how you exit a trade, please? I may just be missing the info, there is over 200 pages in this thread. Thanks for your time.

I switched mine so it only shows ticks P&L. Helps to not focus on the dollars and cents. Not sure if your platform can do that or not.

The amount needed in the investment account will vary from person to person depending on their situation. What won't vary is the need for a significant reserve fund. You should have at least 18-24 months of your current pay in your bank account ...

Minimum Balance to Trade Full time?

Stop market order = next tick Stop limit order = not filled until it comes back up. In volatile times like now, I wouldn't use a stop limit. Just my opinion.

Great video. Trading like this requires more skill than you give yourself credit for. The ability to see the setups and react to them in real time is where the real magic happens. It's not something that will happen overnight but is certainly doable ...

I am sure quite a few have joined just because of how much his tweets swing the markets. Got me thinking about it. LOL! I think I read somewhere that the stock market lost 2 trillion in value during October. With mid term elections I am sure we will ...

Really nice Trump and Dump overnight. Trump tweets, price goes up.... someone comes in later and says no that's not right, price goes right back to where it was. LOL!

Stocks are weird. Apple beat estimates for earnings but hinted at possible soft sales on IPhone especially in emerging markets. Stock price drops in after hours trading based on that news. Apple is the biggest weighted stock in the Nasdaq 100 at ...

The last 4 days has seen a steady decrease in daily volume. The 10 day ATR has also made a turn to the downside. It is possible that it could pick back up but I kind of doubt it. The other two corrections we saw this year did the same although not ...
