If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. I have had friends sitting next me watching and live trading for a long time and still did not get it. And I have friends who we trade the same market together and talk and chat, and they still think how I am trading is "weird"! At the end of the...

Please let me elaborate a bit more in response to some of the questions posted to me. I think some of you are still confusing "tape reading" and/or watching "T&S" with what I'm talking about happening on the price ladder - not the same or even related. You have a better chance of trying to...

Nothing has changed much, especially with liquid markets like ES, 6E, etc. Listen, it's all the same! I don't know the difference between soybeans and kidney beans, but yet I trade ZS once in a while on crop report days, and the same exact shenanigans go on the DOM as any other instrument...

As the saying goes, Size Matters! :) No pun intended, but to me, it's still about trading a small account, trading small size, and making sure that the profits come out of the account consistently every Friday! Hey, whatever you want to call it, that's part of my edge combined with how I trade...

And I don't want my comments to become a pissing contest and a dick-to-dick match, as it is common on ET. That is why I gave up on my one and only Thread on ET! :) Maybe I should not have taken the bait when I saw "Active DOM traders"! I have been doing this long enough to get a paycheck from...

Many years ago I started a thread named "Cant it be done?" https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/can-it-be-done.228757/ with a focus on trading and scalping a small account. However, I think it also got some interest in the way I traded, and still trade today - every single day: The answer is...

Plenty of dumb algo action on 6J, 6A, and GC today - surprisingly a day before FOMC. Indeed, a good day to take their money!

I have been thinking about dusting off my old thread and see what's going on since I have been reading a lot more about people talking about scalping off the dome/matrix. Some good ideas out there, but none seems to line up with my way of doing! I am still messing around with the algos and the...

Sure it works in futures. But I bet you not in a way that most of you guys "think" it works. I am sure most are still focused on a simplistic way of discerning "size" without any other dimensions to it. Since July 2012? Let me tell you, I have been trading 1 lot for almost 4 years now, and...

It's been a while since I posted anything. Came across a "Loch Ness Monster" citing on 6J and could not resist to take a screen shot and post it here. This happens perhaps once every year or so on some contracts, and I tell you, when it does, you bet the farm!

Just playing around with the overnight session! 6A and CL also provide some good "insights" trading them side-by-side! Maybe will check back a little later, but the size on the ask will be traded on the way up! WHY? See you around 1.2220 levels.

I am not reviving this Journal, and it's been great trading for the past couple of months, especially now that the CL is back on my screen! Just wanted to post this as I was able to quickly take a screen shot of the largest size I have seen on 6E! Can you figure out if the "size" intended to...

OK, I am going to give away a little more hint here, and it's not that I am holding back on this stuff, but the fact is that not many are still understanding what it is that we need to look for and where it is we are trying to go with this information. Just throwing some hypothetical out there...

And it sure was - certainly more than a scalp! Do you see any size anywhere?
