    Who has read Al Brooks books?

    While the chart scale is incremented by volume, all those bars you see on the chart are PRICE. Volume plays no part in how those prices move (eg. volume spike somehow precedes price :rolleyes:).

    The cocoa market is seriously fouled up

    It's too late. You're a lagging indicator. :)

    Who has read Al Brooks books?

    I've found my spiritual kin at last. :) Volume is useless. If you look closely, you'll see that those who use volume also use other weird indicators/oscillators. If they say they know what PA is or that they understand Brooks, run away as fast as you can, as far away as you can.

    ES Journal - 2023/2024

    Yes, AI is here to stay, but in a bear market even the best sector gets a free ride down the cliff. Then the question is, will there be a steep recession that will swing the pendulum from the "Sell your children if you have to and buy AI stocks!" to "Get the f^ck out of AI before your children...

    ES Journal - 2023/2024

    Is that by EOY? As I've been rattling in another thread, I'm expecting a full-fleged recession by Q3, so 20% is about right for the year. But is that the end of the slide? I don't think so.

    Who has read Al Brooks books?

    He writes like a typical doctor who is submitting his paper to a journal, namely, dry and boring. Here's my suggestion. There's no need to read cover to cover. Read the beginning and the end portions of each chapter first and then search Youtube to see if any of the topics you're interested has...

    Who has read Al Brooks books?

    Not in any way defending Brooks but aren't you being overly sentimental in your judgment (or rather overly judgmental)? I've not used volume once for the last 25 or so years and have had no problem reading price action. For me, the volume is already baked into the price. The reason is two-fold...

    If you were trading in 2020, you were a part of a generational event...

    Well, 2020 was peanuts compared to the days that followed Lehman's collapse in 2008. It's like night and day. Turns out, NYSE tripped on December 1, 2008 as well.

    CFTC revokes certification for KOSPI futures?

    The CFTC never actually revoked the Kospi 200 Index Futures outright. However, there was a period where they were not available for trading in the US due to changes in the index classification. Here's the breakdown: The key factor is whether the Kospi 200 is considered a "broad-based" or...

    Fills on NQ limit price not passed?

    The one in BOLD. My understanding is LIMIT orders are sent to the exchange but STOP orders are held by the broker for the following reason. As recent as 10 or 15 years ago, it was relatively easy to gun the stops. All you needed was just 1 lot order to trigger all the stops placed above or...

    Fills on NQ limit price not passed?

    That's old school. Now, most brokers have stops programmed to kick in only after x number of ticks. They've wised up.

    Fills on NQ limit price not passed?

    NEVER is my answer. You need to assume you're the last one in line. There were times when I would send the limit order in advance, like over 30 minutes ago, only to see it get filled just before the price is taken out. You mean all those previous fills were sent to the exchange before me...

    THIS STRATEGY, ???

    I didn't read the entire article, but something smelled fishy when I saw the trading stat. First, he claims: To be clear, these are not backtest results. These are results from the trade report, which is based on live trades. You got that? Live trades. But then what is this I see? He made 127...

    I knew you'd come knocking :D So what's the downside target? Got one? I'm tempted to say 4750, but that sounds like a stretch. Maybe 4850.

    Where can I go for funding?

    Very tough. You would be better off simply visiting a hedge fund in person, that is if you can, and offer to show your trades by trading live. Speaking of which, why don't you do that here? Create a thread and post your trades in real time. If you're good as you say, who knows, there just might...

    On a serious note, I think there's a real danger of ES rolling over come next week. Buckle up and get ready for some turbulence.

    Although it chopped 4 more days after I made that call, I'm glad that it finally buckled. :) Ya gotta luv what you do.

    My neighbor gave me the middle finger with a big grin and said this. Does anyone know what this means? :confused: ;) ¿Qué mierda esta pasando aquí? ¡Todos están locos!
