Maybe it’s just the algo front running me in an illiquid market. But what’s strange is when I add and pull liquidity on the DOM, it’s not showing up. As if I was trading demo.

Could it be possible that your platform is holding your orders on your computer and not sending them to the server until they are executed? Sierra Chart has that ability, it can be managed in the settings, depending on the broker, but Amp allows server side. If you think that could be the case, Sierra Chart explains their platform settings here:

Yes I remember having enabled this feature as they advise to do so.

Everything CME behaves normally.
But everything not CME (CBOT, COMEX, NYMEX),
Behave as I described GC and NG (DOM not responding).

I’ll see with them.
Luckily I have the video.

It’s worth a thousands words.

Thanks.

Maybe I should go full Trading Technology.
Instead of this + that + this ...
But I miss X_trader

If i were you i'd hone your skills with 1 mes at a time with 5 pt stops having a $5k account. If you lose $50 in a day ( 10 total pts) you call it a day . If you make a $100 you shut it down. When you get to $5500 in the account increase to 2 with a $100 max drawdown . When you get to $6k increase to 3 total mes at anyone times with a max $150 drawn down. On on and on till you get to 5-8 es. Until you get your account to $12 k i wouldn't go over 10 mes .When your account gets bigger you can take some risk holding 1-3 mes over night . By that time your skills will be honed. The problem with a $5k account is you can't let it go to $4k or $3k . If you do then you become scared and desperate and will definitely lose.

I am at ease with 2MES.
But yeah I definitely have to be cautious.

Need to get better overall as you say !
Only then should I be trading bigger.

Problem is I didn’t cut my losses.
Thought it’s 4MES only. Eh !
Risk grows quick anyway.

Thanks.

Then i would widen my scale entry's to I've yourself a better av price . sSo if you want to Short 3 at 2840. Short 1 at 2840 and 1 at 2845 and 1 at 2850 for 2845 avg. That way you won't be stopped out as quick . If you don't get the whole scale in so be it. With this type volatility you have to give yourself some leeway on your stops . The way you can fight that is getting a better avg entry pt.

Great talk

Might be interesting to initiate selling into 2865-80.

We’ve made a “lower” high
2888 -> 2884
And a lower low
2844 -> 2824

However on the bigger picture,
We’ve made a higher high
2880 -> 2960
And a higher low
2720 -> 2780

We’re maybe going to 2940-80

I think 75 is the top for the night. For the day session, it's 50/50. It could go up or down, both highly probable although I'm more bearish. But this market is very resilient, especially the AH sessions all this week. All I can say is "don't fight the tape". Anyway, good luck.

I find this leg bullish.

Caught some of the last two upwards impulses.
Happy.

Covered my shorts because it falls slowly.

Let’s see.
