    Why trading is sometimes difficult for me

    It’s not hard. It’s just a another tool serving a different purpose. There isn’t any good literature about trading order flow & footprint available but pieces of information could be gathered & pierced together. However if you want to use it well, you will have to spend time to practice the DOM...

    Time vs tick

    I believe that value has been identified and exploited but you will need footprint (or number bar study in SC) to display that for you. Or if you are very good at DOM reading, you could see that info there too. In general, when a vol bar completed so fast, it is a result of market orders swept...

    W/ respect to price Time chart: Time is a constant. Variables are trades & volume. Tick chart: Trade is a constant. Variables are time & volume. Volume bar chart: Volume is a constant. Variables are time & trades. and so on w/ different types of price representation. So it depends on what do you...

    Scalping - The Real Deal - The Best Trade This Summertime?

    Maybe Peter should post the 1 tick target Crude Oil drill for those are not too familiar with how efficiency a scalper should be (would be, could be?). I'm a SC chart user & didn't want to abuse the spirit of a free trial so I didn't see the full video to watch how you manage that drill. FWIW...

    TOS/TD Qs regarding day trading

    I should said it's probably around 1-2s but the 2s occurred more often than not to be noticeable. And this experience is limited till the early months of 2017. Once I moved off my trading account, it's no longer a concern to me. The real major concern at the time was their data feed because...

    TOS/TD Qs regarding day trading

    I have no clue why people so in love in their OnDemand. It takes forever to load for me & by the time it's ready to play back, it's time for me to sleep. The replay on Sierra Chart is instant, not like a molasses as TDA OnDemand, not to mention all the trouble to execute simulating orders on...

    TOS/TD Qs regarding day trading

    No. You should run a test for yourself because it will convince you more than a 2 bits electron stranger in a public forum with plenty of trolls. And besides, my experience & connection might not be the same as yours, right? Btw TDA claims their market order execution speed is 0.2s after...

    TOS/TD Qs regarding day trading

    My experience with TDA & TOS is they are not good for day trading. Their data feed will freeze during fast market, the order fills are far from desirable. If you are into scripting then their TOS script & structure are just plain horrible. Other than that, they are probably one of the best...

    Why trading is sometimes difficult for me

    If the OP wants to trade the 1st entry, he needs to use more tools and going to finer details like this or cherry pick his entries as volpri has mentioned

    Who should I ignore?

    I only ignore people when I want to read an old thread & those assholes keep popping up bs as if they know everything. In a new thread, no need to ignore them. I just skip them as if they are a piece of shit keep showing in your routine exercise walk. You just step aside & mind your own business.

    Young Trader need advice and mentor(if possible)

    I also recommend Xela's list. When you have no knowledge at the starting line, every physical grown up adult is a towering intellect. How long does it take you to know something is and something isn't. Xela list also provides one glimpse into building up such correct thinking indirectly.

    how to understand Al Brooks

    It's not that simple. I have it coded in ToS, ported to Sierra Chart & I still have to use my human computer to fill in what's missing in my codes. Excerpt "Now IF you can read and fully digest Brook's ideas and then actually manage to "algorithmize" them, then great!! I have thought about it...

    And there is 16.6% chance, one of them is an erotic enthusiast crying out "it's 69, for god's shake". :D Less humor, more math intuitive.

    how to understand Al Brooks

    He didn't even read passed page 22. Chapter 4. PS: I coded his H1, H2 etc for my usage & I'd looked many open source software to see how people coded. The Ninja Trader code doesn't even come close.

    how to understand Al Brooks

    I don't see any reason why not. He also uses it on his daily & weekly update at his website. Check it out for yourself. My opinion is his video is broad base to easily understand his concept but the details of trading setup, signals how to is in his books. It's pretty much common sense once one...
