one setup/pattern that I am noticing is an inside bar after a momentum move occurs...obviously within the correct context. I will start looking into it starting tomorow, any ideas on the use of the inside bar in momentum situations?

ERTS and ASML

7/13/11 -$40.00 Shares Traded=-1,400 Another not so good day. Pretty much didn't do well with anything I put my hands on. Today again I had a similar problem to yesterday...focus was not on one thing at a time and missed some trades in the SPY. Dabbled in some other things. Bought and...

Wondering where you went my man!

Hmmm...I see interesting stuff! Im not talking about regular divergence but volume divergence. Found it in one of anekdokten's threads. FYI Two of the head traders in my room both trade with techincals(pa etc.) and both use volume. One has had multiple 7+fig years

Good hindsight commentary there! LOL JK. I guess I am looking at things in a similar way as you are. I am looking the ES and trading the SPY'S. Looking for PA and volume....while still being open to seeing new patterns, tendencies. Everything that I play in the SPY's is confirmed by my...

7/12/11 P&L= -42 Shares Traded=+1800 So not alot of things worked for me today...traded some stocks in play with order flow, but I would either get a bad entry or not get filled as I was trying to add liquidity versus hit or take. This happened multiple times in fact, could've caught some...

Oh i thought you traded part-time along with your job. I appreciate your comments :) , don't think I said anything to imply otherwise

BTW how is trading going?

SWC was in play as it guided higher on some revenue and production numbers. You can find this on briefing or another news service like that. I was scalping it...but based on the order flow not bar patterns or anything of that nature. With a stock like this there is no way of knowing when it...

7/11/11 P&L= +55 Shares Traded= 2,400 Today I traded the most shares that I have traded so far since being at my firm. Day went Ok, and caught some moves in some stocks, also missed some moves in the SPY's as I was watching VRX and SWC. SWC: +44.00 Traded this stock throughout...

I was actually referring to two different things. The Order flow/momentum trading is more of a scalping approach in different stocks. Right now i'm looking at stocks near highs/lows and looking at briefing's liquid momentum list. Also looking at stocks in play on any given day. When trading the...

Ok... I will give this a try! Thanks for the suggestion

Here's the update for 7/7/11: I was down about 42 dollars on the day...just trading some random stuff and losing little amounts along the way. This day taught me that I need to limit the environments that I operate in...and focus on a certain approach. That is why I will be trading the SPY's...

7/8/11 Shares traded=1,000 P&L= +10 SPY= Put some trades in the SPY's today. 3 losers and 1 winner. Winner was off of the pre market, the others were throughout the day. I have attached a screenshot with executions. The trade towards the middle of the day around 11-12 was to test out...

5 min:

Couple of notes on PA and Volume in the ES. Daily: PA and volume are fractal in nature...or supposedly. So many of the same concepts used intraday may have an application on higher tf's...albeit with some tweaks. Went up on good momentum up to current levels. Volume is creating a...

7/6/11 Net P&L= -13 Shares Traded=1,200 SPY: -$17.50 Took a few trades in the SPY's today...two losers and one scratch. Haven't experienced alot of days like this since I've been trading at my firm. Oh well, def printing out this day and marking it up! Volume and price ruled the...

LOL...hey thanks for stopping by :). I am not actually working at the moment, just focused on the markets. I have a way to let me trade and pay my bills at the moment and I am taking advantage of it by spending a good amount of time on trading everyday.
