    Ghost, THANK YOU! Someone gets it! :p You nailed it right on the head. The name of the game is not 'What would I do here?'... it's 'What would everyone else likely do?' and game that reaction (join'em, lead'em, and or bleed'em) especially when hunting liquidity, you stalk the most 'obvious'...

    Ok kids, It's been fun. Hope some of you found the videos useful. I've lurked on ET for 10 years and know that eventually the peckerheads will show up on the threads. It is what it is. Got to get back to focusing on the trades. Will stop in from time to time, but it's back to lurk...

    Yeah that's it. Can't put anything over on you. No offence Stock, but I'm losing brain cells reading your posts. I'm not encouraging anyone to trade like me. Most people can't or don't want to. The videos are just an illustration of how I trade, nothing more, Some may find it useful...

    "wouldnt even be interesting if not for the sick size." Hence the title of the thread :eek: "I can do that 500 times a day.: Good for you big man. That's pretty impressive. Have a nice day, grumpy :D

    Amalgam, HELL NO! :eek: That would completely go against the risk and probability dance. To me, risk + probability = by-product of profit/loss. If I go more size, then my holding period has to be thinned down to offset that risk, as for probability, I use highest probability set-ups for...

    Clubber, No doubt, you can't face the algos alone and expect not to get slammed at some point. That's why I try to play when there is a lot of participants, as they say 'my enemy's enemy is my friend.'. I got one from 5/27/2014 where the algos rug pulled so hard I got trapped for a -...

    lol. :p FB is one of my bucket stocks so I've grown to 'feel out' the liquidity but my charts quantify the patterns. I like to feel it out first from the tape/level 2 and then have the charts back up the set-up. That 63.35-63.20 area is a solid support level. Cheers!

    Hi Eus, I have my charts and level 2s on a separate 4 monitor system that I watch simultaneously. The videos only capture the order execution screen on my 2 monitor trading platform box which I try to keep as simple as possible. Trying to record more than one screen makes the playback...

    Thanks Clubber, I wouldn't be holding 100k FB longs on a 1 point pullback. I will adjust and average around the core position and use any liquidity to scale out. On the 124k video, the 64 breakout didn't happen as anticipated and therefore had to unload a sizeable chunk in pieces and then...

    One last thing, these videos are like my home movies. They are intended for me to review and study and the captions are written to make it easier to reference when I review them. I threw in some music to kill the monotony for viewers. I like to record the larger size trades I make so I can...

    Icebergs and hidden orders are more useful in thinner traded stocks imo. FB has enough liquidity contingent on the set-up, trading climate and timing to handle the bigger size. On a molecular level, it all boils down to tracking and stalking liquidity more than price. Cheers!
