I dono for sure but you can look for held and refreshing bids or offers, lack of buyers / sellers on the time and sales. I haven't figured it out yet but this is what I try to see on the dom. Will take lots of practice but im working on it. Remember futures have accurate volume info unlike stocks.

I think its about trying to figure out where other traders will act. Lets say a breakout happens at 2440. If price retraces, the people that were in losing shorts will cover and possibly reverse, existing longs may buy more and people on the sides will enter long too. All this order flow should...

I trade through sierra charts but also look at barchart.com for futures when away from computer.

It's probably some sort of market breadth indicator but I cannot figure out which.

Do you know about shorting?

If I was a betting man id say there are many incarnations of NYSESTOCKS through out the years. Its either one person or different ones...aww the mystery.

Again thank you for posting. You pretty much summarized the way that I view the trading game. The missing link at this point is internal I believe. Trade what you see rather than what you believe will happen. Easier said than done. Ps. I like this thread for the riddles and puzzles and...

I think I may venture into reading this entire thread past the first 100 pages, it really gets the old mechanical gears turning. Gonna have to skip all the jack hershary crap tho. This has to be the most thought provoking thread on ET. If it has any use, only time will tell.

I want to listen its just that after spending 4 months looking at the ES chart every day, I am hesitant to change but then again.. if I am not making money doing what I am doing... I tried trading low price stocks "in play" when I just started out but really hated the massive spreads on the bid...

I dont have any market data through IB at the moment, only through Sierra Chart. I will monitor bid / ask trades on my DOM as we get to key levels. I guess a footprint chart may provide clarity but I want to keep things simple. I'm having a strategic debate between just blindly getting long /...

I noticed the order book was quite thin for most of that move today... Is this tip off to a controlled move?

I'm 31, have some financial stability but looking to grow and accumulate more assets.

Curious to know the demographic of this site and traders in general. Please vote... you can answer publicly but dont have to if you dont want to. I put the generally accepted life stages to correspond with age just for fun. If some want to share the life stages of a trader that would be good to...

I need to learn to flow with the waterfall, I dont have enough materials to construct a strong enough dam. Im just a small twig that gets snapped by the raw power of the flow. Is the answer to wait for the dam builders to show you that they started construction?

This makes sense... All the places where I went long did bounce for at least 2 points but it is my trade management which made me lose money. Assuming it was the reversal rather than just watching and following price. I find this very hard to do because if i do move my stop I get stopped out for...

Thank you for your time posting here. Even though I am not fully getting everything I value your efforts.

2404 - 2408 seems like a good time to get long. I don't really see much in those bars yet... need to focus more.

I think some stop running algo's may kick in if we get close enough...

A staircase down...
