I was searching for some material and saw the question on Market Profile. I love MP and have always found it intuitive. It is not the easiest for short term trading though. Jim Dalton wrote a couple of books and has a site on Market Profile. He calls it Field of vision at...

The formula apparently varies by broker Equity + Cash - Debit balance-2*margin requirements Tradernovice.com had this and an I.B. formula listed under leverage

I have used DLC profiles.....along with many other mentors. There was no magic with DLC, but I have learned much from them. DLC is run by 2 guys with a passion for the markets, much experience, and no desire to milk every penny from you. There trading is based on market profile. In the...

I have to agree with previous post............"years, decades of screen time is the only way" THERE IS NO EASY WAY. I have taken so many courses, been with so many mentors, that I forget some of them. Most were not worth it. I did see Mark Cook set his goals and make his money everyday...

FJMcC It is what it is. I told you about my lack of proficiency, so you can judge for yourself what my opinion is worth, perhaps not much. I too trade interest rate futures. Despite my struggles I look now at where I was when I started and simply shake my head, thankful I did not...

I have completed the Cisco course, as well as almost every other course on Market Profile that I could find. Let me share a few thoughts: Don Jones at Cisco seems an exceptional guy who is interested in sharing knowledge with others. He has an exceptional track record and likely does...

I agree with TraderNik. Don't let yourself blow up and have more problems. It happens everyday. Quit for a while.

If you haven't already, read Mark Douglas' 2 books ...the disciplined trader and trading in the zone. Define your edge, quantify it, and trade it, accepting that there will be losers, and this is no reflection on you. Consider paper trading for a while. I have traded for years and when a...

Cisco is ok. Don Jones is a hell of good guy, but the best learning will come from Jim Dalton, who wrote Markets in Profile and Mind over markets. He and Terry Leiberman have a site called DLC profiles. They charge a yearly fee for weekly updates, webinars, etc. They are decent people...

I apologize to all! I am new to this forum and thought that with my above post that I was replying to one of the first few questions which asked about software ( I was rereading old posts) I have no connection with Jim Dalton other than having studied his work. I have read Steidlmayer as...

Windotrader is by far the best software for MP trading. you can find links at thinkingtrader.com

I first started trading with market profile 3 yrs. ago. It made the most intuitive sense. I have studied and used profile trading since then. My charting is with Windotrader and my favorite books are those of Jim Dalton (markets in profile and mind over markets) Profile trading has...
