LOL. Thanks for correction - I was close - Making stacks off the decks :)

How is this related to DOM?

My understanding is that in the "old days", the stops came in over the phone to the trading floor. So everyone knew where the stops were - I think they were called "stacks" as they were literally stacks of paper orders :) Nowadays, as @dozu888 said, it's pretty obvious where stops are and a...

What do you mean plugin? Is it so active that it must be trading at speed in real time? I mean can't you sell the signals instead(in which case you don't even need to code it)?

Can you provide a link to the definition of "shorts closing?"

Supply/Demand (DOM), orderflows, correlations, manipulations, news, noise.

Because it sounds like phishing expedition for suckers, so we want to make sure none of ET members get taken. Transparency is the best way to attract people.

Does your system rely on any proprietary indicator or can it be replicated on any platform? Why not just start a journal instead? This "one on one" thing is kinda weird.

Agreed, but maybe give us an idea. Mentoring in general trading concepts sounds wrong.

Yeah, I'm sure you are right on this as well.

I think expecting the spreads to move by the end of the session enough to make money is not practical. I may be wrong, but I think @bone is advising swing trading for a reason.

Thanks for sharing that! Very interesting.

I don't really understand what this means. I don't think you can capture arbitrage opportunities with passive orders. Let's use simple examples: Major news hits AAPL mid day causing the stock to jump 10%. I assume the index will be bought up to reflect this. Another example - positive...

I'm not looking to arbitrage it, but I would like to understand this in terms of orderflow.

His charts look a lot like yours, I though you'd like it for sure :) The guy does have some credentials and has been around many automated trading systems (although a bit of a weird change of career path). Some of the objectives he mentioned I liked and want to see how he actually tries to...

I try not to post these promotional things here, but there are couple of reasons that I think this has some promise: 1. It's day trading only! 2. It's MES! 3. It's run by former Collective2 CEO! 4. It's FREE for the time being! 5. It's promised to be "radically transparent" 6. It's part of T3...

Thank you, Robert! I guess I am still thinking directionally, so the idea in my head was to let the front months expire worthless and be left with long straddle (best case scenario). I don't think I've ever come across anyone describing this as a valid strategy (where both guts and wings are...

I was thinking of debit calendar spread - sell front month and buy back month. If I did this with both calls and puts at same strike, what would this creature be called - iron calendar fly? If it doesn't have a name, I am going to call it iron bat!

Does the intensity of the move favor one over the other? For example, a trending move would favor a straddle, but a volatile move (like gap) would favor a calendar (assuming price moves same distance)?

I was expecting people to reply with calendar spreads ... Why long straddle over calendars?
