Very true. It's all about hunt for liquidity, and also the group psychology of markets. What attracted me to range bars back in fx days was the possibility of continuing to make good profits while intraday volatility reduced significantly, much like ...

I see, my mistake. As to my method being sophisticated, aspects of the modelling may be but trading it is boringly simple, as it should be according to the Fit Trader Mom video you shared. And at the core it's based on the simple observation that ...

That's the question, how to turn price data into structure and structure into entries and exits. If you are asking me, I don't trade time based charts. What I've discovered is that all liquid markets trading around the clock, such as CME/Globex ...

Of course, more Detail would be needed to turn the levels into a structure that allows for identification of setups, entries and exits.

Nice trade Monday and Tuesday seem to have decided the levels for the week. (This is how I used to mark up levels on a 1h chart back when I traded fx.)

Thank you Steve, I second that almost verbatim. What I've learnt from my coach is that one has to choose one's tools. No matter the size of one's toolbox, one needs to pick out the tools to use, and use only those. It's unhelpful to start digging in ...

Or was it the VWAPs after all?

....or watching Intermarket Correlations? Here YM, i.e. the Dow Jones Index.

Luck, Good Judgement, or simply watching the Fair Value Gaps?

Gold

Thank you Steve. I took $275 off the table when it stalled. Then, I have to admit, I traded NQ and made up for it. I just don't have the internalised experience yet for trading Gold.

Fair Value Gaps on 15m are reliable in many other markets, so also in Gold, I discover. Let's see how this one goes.

Hi Steve, that Gold should be better than FX for the mode of trading I started out with is interesting to hear. Thanks for sharing. When FX volatility calmed down around 2009-10 I first moved to non-standard price representations (first range bars ...

Thank you very much for kind invitation. Yes, I started out long time ago in fx, and I find gold appealing as it behaves like fx in many ways, in particular that one can trade it off levels like you do.That's harder with equity indices, which i also ...

Thanks Steve, pleasure all mine. It may not be your cup of tea at all, but i like having a view with moving averages and channels to get a different perspective. Here's yesterday with that view.

Gold

Breakout may be imminent. The very strong move up early this morning is promising. 5m chart. EDIT: Bought the breakout. EDIT 2: Out at breakeven, as breakout failed.

Gold

First of all, sincere thanks for your journal with beautiful chart analysis. Here's my take on the long term situation: Stuck in a range, volatility at a long time low. Could mean that a breakout upwards is imminent, or that the sideways grind goes ...

To be fair, they are saying that they are still working on the unlimited upside part. It says Coming soon in the the FAQ.

agreed.

Most US futures firms do FDAX and MDAX I believe (Apex I know for sure) and they don't manipulate the spread so pick the one that your research points you too. Update: If you use a prop firm that offers CQG data feed, then you will have access to ...

Looks good to me. The 50% consistency is only for eval, no consistently in a funded Flex account. All good in my experience.
