I do the same. I don't want or desire continuation trades unless I find it using the DMI. Other than that it's counter trend trying to spot a full on reversal. I keep up with short info and dark pool. Other than that, it's all compression expansion. Be well.

If spreads are a concern then try to get away from those tickers that have more than .10 difference between the Bid/ask. Day trading options is a little different in that you are trying to predict a 1 to 2 standard deviation. They are out there and you can find them. You want to look for...

Trading is an ends to a mean. My purpose is to provide for my family. Since I trade at home, I can play with my son, take care of my mom, (advanced stage dementia) hang with my girlfriend. I also have PTSD. As such, I don’t get out much. My interactions with people are limited, by my choice...

What I am saying is if I get tired of engaging with someone, or the person really trolls I will eventually block. I will however engage first. Clearing TDA. You don’t have to believe it if you choose. It’s out there online. If you wanna search, and or pay for it. (Dark pool data)

Clear? I don’t report ppl. I engage them. I may block you but never report. It’s childish. Ppl gotta grow up and face one another or just walk away. But “telling” on someone is 2nd grade nonsense.

You called me an insufferable asshole on twitter and you want to get info from me? Ha Ha Ha whew. That’s ripe.

That’s where I post my trades. FREE. Call it what ya want. We’re here to help one another or so I thought. You wanna limit yourself to this forum,? your choice.

You can follow me if you want on twitter. @stfrtrader. The best think you can do, (wish I had done this) was follow the market using something like TOS (thinkorswim) on demand service. You can go back in time and watch the market move, historically in real time. I use it when creating...

No you aren’t considering what the “tells” are. “Tells” are usually found in back trading. If this, then this should happen as an example. A good tell for example is the N225 when trading the ES. Timeframe also plays a factor in my opinion.

Well it depends, I have a futures workstation, crude, retail, (clothing, electronics, auto/motorcycle) computers/chips, etc. I don’t sleep a lot. Usually during the lulls of the market. If the euro is quiet I’ll go back to sleep. I think my internal clock is set to the market lol. My quote...

I actually do like trading overnight vs the morning sessions. It’s less susceptible to violent swings from “news breaks”. Also the order flow doesn’t (usually) change so violently to cause “v” bottoms. I like crude the most

During the evening session I do. I’m trading the Euro Open (I think) in this pic. You know the whole Brexit thing...

are you a FT trader? I ask cause that would help if I would be able to contribute to the convo

I have a computer from falcon trading systems. (Tradingcomputers.com). At first there were a couple hiccups, but in all Scott did me justice. I am pretty happy with the 52GT and I went with the skylake. I have 8 screens and for $4800 I’m pretty pleased with performance. The problem I run into...

This is a temp set up. It’s been a temp set up for a few months now. Still trying to get bed room set up. Goal is to stay with fam at home. That said.
