Hi Machine, we may think alike. I think some traders are too quick to make assumptions when they see massive pending limit orders above. A massive Selling order above price may be a spoof, an Iceberg order or just the order as it seems. We do not ...

Hi MachineLearn There is one major point I have learned trading Bid / ask Imbalances over the past 5 years. Order flow without context offers at best a slim trading edge Every single day during quiet market periods, I don't waste it watching the ...

I use either Jigsaw or Motivewave for my Futures trading but normal find I love trading on Motivewave mostly on an Apple Laptop. Also You can buy MW outright because I hate paying monthly platform fees. If you trade with AMP Futures, you can trade ...

Hi Machine You should be chasing high Bid / Ask imbalance and not volume for fast micro trading. HFT Algo’s are programmed to attack these imbalances which normally occur around recent highs and lows of the 1 to 2 minute time frames. Price action ...

Hi Zebi Wrong, reading candlesticks is not tape reading. In fact 98% of traders who rely on candlesticks alone (look at FF traders) will lose because they don't see the real action within the candle like Jessie Livermore could do. He used to read ...

Candlestick Story — The True Breakthrough

Hi medici You quoted. “You have to understand, with every fiber of you being, the ways in which you are and are not responsible for your success as a trader.” Winning is actually a choice, you either choose to win or you choose to be a loser. You ...

You can only suck if you are outcome oriented, but rarely if you are process oriented. If we follow the correct processes then the good outcome will be our reward. If our outcome is disappointing, the fault is normally not following correct ...

Hi Vidvad The best trading book I have read is not about trading, it’s about learning to be a winner. No one has ever won a gold metal at the Olympic’s without believing they have already won it already. The visualisation of feeling like a winner ...

Hi Kalimac I mean we should be Buying at Highs or Selling at new lows provided price has bounced off Resistance - see my chart below. ( Algo's help because they spoof the market on new highs & lows which supports breakouts ie. I want to see ...

Hi abuisiam The idea here is we are looking for markets that are in ranging conditions, then hope to time our trades when the market breaks actually out into trending conditions soon after. The A+ trade is the breakout that occurs on a lower time ...

Hi Kalimac I wouldn't now mainly because price action shows 3 failed bullish moves. Now we would have to wait for a break of the last major high - so wait to see if this occurs. My guess is these candles are forming during a low liquidity period so ...

Hi heispark I think you are better off scrapping Topstep and just trading pattern setups on SIM till you get good at 1 play. I would start Trading micro’s first because you have to build a solid platform of achievements first and you haven’t earned ...

Hi Heispark Got to love the 21EMA as a pullback tool, it’s good for getting the meat of the move back to the current trend. Have you tried using VWAP either daily or weekly as the primary bias, it works well for me. Cheers

Hi yeezey First of all you need to trade Future’s or Stocks to even see a tape (DOM or Time & Sales) so that is where you start. I learned basic tape reading skills years ago trading Australian Equities but it wasn’t till I started trading Future’s ...

Hi Cashbox Exactly, we can also include other great traders like Paul Tudor Jones, Jessie Livermore and Richard Wickoff to name a few. The big point here is THIS is where you see those Algorithm's actually trading against smaller players. The DOM ...

I have traded with Driven a few years back and we love to disagree on one subject - VOLUME There is no chance in hell he will ever consider Volume data is of much value in trading, so no point wasting time here debating with him this subject matter. ...

Hi Cog I am a Delta imbalance trader by default so for years I used to hunt 4-12 ticks per trade and exit. On a normal day I used to take 50-80 trade setups per session and used to be totally knacked after 4 hours trading. Profitability was ...
