The only problem with your strategy: It's not scalable. It's a good one however, don't get me wrong.

Good stuff volpri.... I see you your ATIT (average time in trade) has moved up to 8 minutes. I guess that varies with market volatility.

So easy to say.... so difficult to accomplish.

Unless the human trader has spotted a pattern that the bots have not.

I think the DOM may be effective for scalping....you know target 4 ticks, risk 8 ticks in the spoos. I think I might give Jigsaw a shot as I have an IQ Feed subscription. However, my trades would go thru Interactive. How's that done ? Do I need to have TWS up and running to place the trades ?

Thanks for that Starspa...Bookmap looks pretty cool. How long have you been using it ?

Just wondering if anyone has been successful with it...that's all.

Anyone using this platform ? It has gotten outstanding reviews on investimonials.. http://investimonials.com/software/reviews-jigsaw-trading.aspx However, I've never been a big fan of the DOM...especially in this day and age of the bots and algos. Any and all comments welcomed.

I'm inclined to believe you for 3 reasons: 1) volpri never really understood the difference between TICK bars and TIME bars 2) volpri claimed he had a trading "plan", when in fact he had a trading "strategy"....BIG DIFFERENCE. 3) volpri never even outlined his approach or strategy or which...

Well one of the techniques of trading advisers is obfuscation...check this one out from a leading online advisory: What is.... 1) converted support levels 2) intra channel resistance 3) initial resistance 4) combined data tables 5) inflection Bottomline: Wow, beware of some of these online...

Like Skychef said : "he won't tell you what it is". Look, you don't pull consistent profits from the emini markets with JUST a trading plan. There's gotta be much more involved here...a systemic approach for one thing.

Yeah, but we don't know WHAT it is.....a system or a plan or a hybrid ?

I keep seeing these fairly vague words a lot in your discourse. But they are cool together...so here's your next company: DynamicContextTrading LLC Heck, you could make a ton as a trading coach !

1 minute bars...now that makes sense. Also, why not use tick bars that automatically adjust to market activity ? 1 minute bars at 9:30 am are much different than 1 minute bars at noon.

re: "he cell phone was used as his personal WiFi hotspot." This is good as long as you are not trading from Montana or other remote location... LOL !!

This guy uses 1 minute bars....3 tick profit target, 6 tick stop loss. Interesting.

From the chart, I computed the elapsed time as 150 minutes and roughly 32 bars...so he does appear to be using 5 minute bars. What's strange is that his average-time-in-trade (ATIT) is much lower than that....I think. 45 / 12 = 4.5 ATIT

Interesting. Sounds like the way to go is automate the entries, use discretion as to which ones to take, and then close out the trade with discretion.

I have to say...."Nice job". You've got quite a knack for this. I've witnessed many other traders demise in the emini markets...it was almost maddening when I was following them. There is this one guy....and ET member....named MBAGearhead who just lost a ton of money trading emini futures. It...

Uh....care to elucidate on the above statement ? I don't quite understand that.... I have to say that a 90% win rate is pretty darn outstanding...despite the low avg winning amount. Usually, high win rate systems have some nasty draw-downs because the stop loss is usually pretty wide....so you...
