I haven´t seen any one growing an account. I´ve just read texts on the internet, not simple texts but rather complicated, about a rather complicated method. I´ve got some help with this from people I don´t know, still on the internet. To imply that I´m the kind of person that just nods all...

No matter what people tell you about focusing on this or that, you have to try a lot of stuff by yourself anyway when you try to learn something. Stupid stuff, stuff that´s not working, stuff you can´t handle and so on. Some people make the mistakes fast, for other people it takes a longer...

I´m not a market wizard who can learn this in a month or two. Good for you if you have instant results as soon as you try to learn something. If I was an experienced trader like I assume you are I´d be a little more humble and helpfull, but everybody´s different.

Mak, do you mean - 1. If someone buys 500 contracts at the market, you see someone stepping up with 500 contracts at ask in the orderbook BEFORE it is recorded in t&s? 2. Do you watch this directly on IB instead of the front-end because the front-end is lagging? I agree with everybody...

I realise now this is my interpretation of what´s happening, I´m not 100% sure I´m right. But if not, what is it that is taking place when there is a spread between bid/ask and orders are going of in between? It has to be market orders clashing with each other, doesn´t it? I think you call...

I envy you being able to trade just the 5-minute chart easyrider, and I hope I will too some day. But half of the point for me to look at t&s is actually to understand the action on the chart better. And don´t forget - very, very few is able to do what you do, your the kung-fu master of...

I don´t know, are you two talking about fishes while I´m talking about birds? :) When the markets moving fast, there´s a spread between bid and ask so market orders are going of at each other in the middle so to speak, but the rest of the time market orders meet limited orders at either...

don´t get it, everything is standing still, except YM is moving a little bit. Did all markets close for the weekend?

You see if the "execution" goes of at bid or at ask. If it´s a ask, someone steps up and buys at the market, if it´s at bid someone sells at the market. Was this the question?

That´s exactly what I´m thinking to, it´s a huge difference.

Don´t worry easyrider, by now I realize that there are people who don´t understand that the markets supposed to go up when I go long. But if the market is not totally random, then there IS a pattern in t&s and dom, because what you see on the chart is the same thing. Of course the chart smooth...

I´ve been following stretch/squeeze, t&s and dom for two days. To me it was really mindblowing just watching the orders going off, cause for months I´ve been watching bars jumping up and down but never really had a feeling for what´s actually going on under those price-volume bars. Not...

When is your holiday? I thought it was today, but now I see the markets open. Tomorrow?

Dantheman, I´ve tested the same thing as you did. I think it´s a good way to time your entries but the problem is if you enter at the market you gonna loose one tick. If it´s jumping between 1262.75 and 1263 and your looking for a short entry when it jumps back to 1263 you probably gonna...

I was just joking Mak, I´m very impressed by what you´ve done and I very much appreciate that your sharing it. Some of you guys are way out of my league when you talk about programming and algebra, but you have a way to make it understandable even for me. /Stalker

Thanks again Mak, really valuable to read your comments, I´m gonna try to watch stretch/squeeze today. I guess it takes a while to learn how to monitor it so one can filter out the noice. But Mak, I thought you were the math genius here? That stretch/squeeze was the opposite of how jack...

Thanks Mak, I´m gonna re-read your post a couple of times and try to watch this, see if I can handle it :)

I´m following ym and between 9:45 and 10.00 the cumulative bid size was almost twice the ask size most of the time during congestion. Shouldn´t this imply that it´s more likely for a break-out to the down-side according to the theory that the markets heading for the highest volume? Am I...

mgin, did you make 15 points on one contract???? are you a market wizard or what? :) I made 1 dollar today trading real money, heading for fame and fortune! I clearly have a bigger problem with the psychological part now then I had in the beginning. In the beginning I didn´t understand how...

You are too sweet to be a basher Hypotamus, you´re not mentally equipped for it. /Stalker
