Maybe someone here really actually wants to talk SCALPing...if so please IM me. My equity curve is rising faster while getting smoother and I would like to talk with other like minded scalpers.

Anyone know of a great market scanning software ? I'm looking for something that will scan all symbols realtime and flash an alert for my desired criteria. Point and click functionality(click on the alert and have a link that changes my layout to the symbol) would be really nice. I used the...

It's funny because you could be doing very well trading breakouts as of late. I'd prefer to be long/short on retracements within trends but opportunities are opportunities, so I'll short the low and long the high. Short squeezes are pretty cool.

anyone ?

Any topic is good. I have a question....What % of your gross is in costs and how much volume is that on?

Do you average up/down or put the whole thing on at once ? Does it depend on going long or shorting ? Does your entry depend on the market or specific trade setup ? Does it just depend ?...or not even matter ?? Are you a reactive trader or are you a proactive trader...or maybe a...

It's a good thing to remember when trading is that the outcome of any given trade is surely an unknown(Anything can happen!!) but the probablitlites will play themselves out over the longer haul. Kinda funny how we can work it.

Work & save the money, then go to a prop firm. Be remote if you like the scene at home. I can't think of a reason why someone that is serious about trading would trade retail.

WRITE your stop down on paper....SAY your stop out loud prior to entry....Shock the living S@#! outta yourself everytime you let it go. Make sure you leave no room for interpretation of where your stop is located, be it based on an exact price or something else. Knowing the most You are...

...never know when an opportunity might come up..

Some people see some things clearer than others. The way I see it is that the volume of a trading vehicle compares to the size of a crowd. The greater the volume the more challenging it is to recognize the smaller details. With huge volume you gotta give your conclusions more room, where as...

...any SF traders wanna talk shop over a cup of java/glass of vino

Yes, it is very difficult to discern a trick from a truth...or maybe even just noise. L2 is intent(whatever it may be), while prints are fact. But then again I believe that even they can be used to deceive.....eg-sometimes I think prints are not posted in a timely manner. Whatever works I...

Zuizo, Yeah, I know that it would take too much effort to really address my questions....I do suppose that it would be so much easier to discuss and comprehend the oh so significant imperceptibles of L2 play if I was to sit side by side(I wish) with someone who has tons of experience reading...

I have such faith in people....and then I read some of these posts. Try being part of the solution, not the problem.

Zuizo, I totally hear what you have to say about the illiquid plays. Using TA to find my levels along with L2 to guage momentum in these areas has worked very well for me on the highly liquid plays. So let's talk about these "..very predictable level II patterns, that can be played with high %...

Good One !!

If you can elaborate on how NOT looking at L2 has improved your profitability, I would love to hear it.

Thanks for the reply. I can understand how not looking at L2 can really work for some and I actually tried it again yesterday on this play. I put a short on without the L2 and it was working....until it shot up and I stopped myslef out......when I got to talking to another trader about the...

Hey, I'd like to start this thread for anyone who knows or is trying to understand more about that box. I've been shaken all too many times only to see that my entry was perfect and vice versa. By paying extremely close attention to the Game/L2 and Truth/Prints, I have been making some great...
