    Is trading easy?

    The younger guys take over from 12:00 to 2:00 pm and they were also trying to work through NIO and that is where you will find more discussion of it, if I remember. Towards the end of the noon period.

    Well, you must have just watched a few minutes of it, because it includes the whole trading day up to 2pm. At 2pm The Close starts and winds up the day. These guys are good and it is nothing like you describe. They have trading offices around the world. This is the original trading office...

    Is trading easy?

    You have to see it to believe it. Look at the raw data.. but I don't think it has the same effect as seeing what was happening over that period in real time. It was extreme buying by one guy over a long period of time, keeping the price action exactly where he wanted it.

    Tuesday some of them were in NIO and got out pissed off as well because of what was happening. You can listen to their discussions about it when you find it on the video for last Tuesday if you want:

    Like I said, look at the raw data. This wasn't a dark pool. It also happened with AMZN on Thursday. It is not common to see a stock tied up with such a buyer. If you don't believe me, look at the tape. It was also discussed quite a bit over the day on TraderTV, which I listen to throughout the...

    Look at the raw data on NIO on Tuesday and you will see what I'm talking about.. Also AMZN on Thursday. NIO was outrageous though. I was trading NIO on July 12 when this guy was buying. When the climb up all day on NIO happened on the 13th, I was so fed up with NIO I refused to play.. I did...

    If you were in there during the day and watching level 2 to see it, their climb the next day against the peer stocks etc. We saw it, we watched. We had to deal with it. Here is a discussion about it:

    IMHO from a basic daytrading pov, the market is rigged. With countless ways of using the market and its derivatives for trading, backtesting has its place, but there is no back testing possible when scalping because daily action on a minute timeframe is discretionary. Millions of shares...

    Is trading easy?

    Guess I figured out what professional traders already knew and use. I was watching a SMB Capital video on trading. It was a review of a trade with the coach and the trader. He was going over the recording of his momentum scalp of FDX at the opening of the market day. He is using the XLI index...

    Is trading easy?

    See what I'm talking about? This is a good example: As long as that line in the NDX is going up so will the candles, but should it straighten out and really climb without that slight dent, that will be a much stronger move up to watch out for. What you see in the index panel precedes the 1...

    I'm afraid I bother Jerry enough.... Wonderful people and wonderful platform. Medved Trader, it is not real expensive, I pay $24 a month, but the free version works just as well. Download it and you get everything I'm using without paying. I just felt it my duty to pay for the software after...

    The VIX works along side the NDX enough.. VOLQ would be good to have too. But I use the VIX more as a "fear index" in general. And with this style it works great that way.

    Thanks for pointing out the $VOLQ to me, but I wish it would print in the index panel and can't see how to make that happen so far.

    $VOLQ would be perfect along side the VIX with this style. Unfortunately it doesn't show in the indexes here. If you liked scalping "stonks" you would probably see the benefit of an indicator that showed you what to expect.... on a 1 minute chart.

    Now a few minutes later, the NDX is pointing up. VIX is pointing down.. And it might be a good scalp depending on other factors, but this is a leading indicator for sure!

    Is trading easy?

    Notice how the NDX is pointing down and VIX is pointing up.. And see the 1 minute chart is going red. And yet again this works enough that I'm green. I've already made $82.44 on APPL this morning before I started scalping AMZN.
