What kind of techniques do heavy scalpers use?

this is the missing attachment.

These bars occurred in 2006 within the same period of time(a month) and season as the clinical study (Summer time)

The volume is in ten divisions that equalize the distribution to 1/10 of the bars each.

If you make a cross on the chart as in compass or algebra domains, the upper right quadrant is Jem's fav place to do what he does. This is a scalping thread so I presume he is "locking in" to scalp.

For looking at scalp this is a good resource chart because it shows how long the 81 bars a day are and how they are distributed as volume is taken into account.

you could divide the chart into parts and annotate where the good and poor scalping occurs. You could note where loses are likely as well.

The areas enclosed will give you a good idea of the % of the day when money is available and the % of the day when it is not.

I have an extreme orientation to always be in and always be on the right side of the market. Looks like there is a lot of money showing on the chart.

Her is an attachment that is for a year (2006).

The 250 bars are daily bars and they grouped in the volume ranges appropriate for a whole day's volume.

you can look at what days look more favorable for scalping and which do not. This is something to think about.

This attachment looks at the sequence of the bars of a day and how the money velocity is going as the day passes.

I work in terms of what amount of money is available at various times. I tab it as money velocity by looking at the ticks per minute.

When a person is scalping he is in and out of the market frequently and only for part of the RTH's. He can only make money when he is in and how fast the market is "moving" has a bearing on his profits. Moving means the net progress in a direction. we all know that the market can be jittery in the process of movement. The envelope of the jitters is improtant too. So is the overlap of the bars.

Here is the overlap chart for 2006

some times the days are different and some times they continue to follow the prior day.

here you can see how this works out by this comparison of adjacent bars.

This will help lay more ground work (context) for scalping using the fine cluster of display items.

Didn't stick; see next post.
 
this chart backs up the first money velocity chart.

The blocks of color show when to expect what during the day.

This is the opposite of OODA type pre as you can see. It shows how the sweeping of M of MADA is going to be proceeding and that gives you a more focussed set of conclusions for the A part of MADA that follows the M.

This kind of knowledge makes skiills application more focussed as in "be prepared" a la the Boy Scouts. We are talking more about finesse that application of brute force.

My hands were classified as lethal weapons. And FYI, I am left handed. How do you like them apples? finesse...brute force....lol

Having this printed and laying around is a good idea.

This is a money velocity chart that adds some convenient other characterisitcs that will tell you as a trader when it is easy and when it is hard to trade.

I probably should add some valence and arousal columns too.

This is useful with respect to the progression a person follows as he is allowing himself to add contracts as a consequence of performance.

There are an assortment of objectives in scalping and making money.

Some of them deal with what is required to maintain support, compfort and confidence.

It is actually possible to use one paradigm of emotions as a test device for the other when you are shifting away from fear, anger and anxiety to support comfort and confidience. It is good to measure how as you add contracts what and how much the tendency is to get closer and closer to the border that separates the two.

With the six charts and the fine display, we can look at the scalping playing field and see how to play the position dictated by our methods and approaches.

Always scaping.

Split deal

Never scalping.

the topic here is narrowed to heavy scalping and their techniques.

Heavy is a contract defining term.

Techniques relate to strategies.

The four games played are not into scalping strateies to any extent.

The games do not have a lot to do with actual trades either.

We have the example articulated of the person first mentioned as the guy who typifies the OP first post and who is the subject of the link.

He does 25,000 contracts a day and nets 10,000 bucks on average and is running 400 cars on average and doing 50 to 100 turns.

jem is running a little lighter, maybe.

When you look at the 6 money velocities you see that some times the money is running at four tomes the scapl money velocity of the heavey scalper example. Only the bottom ranges of money velocity resemble the net results.

So this means it is wide open during the day to "make" the money but there are limitations of when it cam be done.

You have to merge two chart types to get this answer and you have to look at the display to see how the tick chart's volume is running.

VSTscalper's DOM charts (see the nine charts in his first attachment in his thread) show how it looks on ER2 and how he focusses on the ACV. This a way to look at boundaries of the playing field. He scalps only part time and his focus is on entry and exit of range boxes.

I see him on the DOM and I see Greenspoon as well. Both are on the other side of what is showing. actually we know greenspoon is not on theER2 and we know VST is not on the ES. I am speaking of their clones (many) on the ES where they would be trading @ market most of the time and not a little of the time.


Who shows up where? I watch each place holder position of the DOM and T&S. Place holder means: units, tens, hundreds and thousands. Greenspoon is where? Where is VST? We have been told and most posts are telling too. That is out of the way.

I look at the part of the playing field where the play is being made at all times and I only glance at the out of bounds lines.

I know where the four games are being played as well. I can see the colors of the uniforms at a glance.

Greenspoon is always on the ball. VST is assessing the boundaries and is looking from them to the ball.

Janis wants to know how to know "when and how the ball is going to be moved".

Jem can't wait for the upper right quad of a pace velocity chart to kick in for some part of the game he especially likes to play.....others just see the size of the dicks of the players. The macho contingent. Are they line blockers or what? Line blockers who want to rough it up don't score. So now we know that this playing field DOES NOT HAVE GOALS OR GOAL POSTS!!!!

This is where the discussion can begin.
 
Quote from alorainc:


3. Price DOES indeed move to size, and this is the only logical explanation I've found for this phenomenon.

One other way of thinking about "price moves to size" is to consider the aggressiveness of buyers and sellers.

When price is moving up for example, buyers are more likely to be submitting marketable orders which of course are not visible in the book. On the other hand sellers are a bit more passive and are submitting non marketable limit orders which are visible.
 
What occupies the field are contracts at various locations.

The boundaries of the field are the walls of "protection" that various people have put in place visibly. The walls have other constituents too. Orders are showing for potentioal entries and they are intermixed with the protection.

Now the important stuff.

We all play with our contracts. When we are on the field it is a statement that we are where the ball is because we have our contracts "working" We can call that the size of the ball.

Anyone out there who sees the size of the ball....lol...

All the above are the players with their hands showing one way or another (assume there are people who always know the size of the ball, too even if you do not at present). The clue is all the myths posted so far in the thread as to how it works the way it does.

Personal interjection: I play with "sports memory" and it is a lot more than "muscle memory".

OODA wise think of me as a guy who knows the drill called: "kill silently with one of at least SEVEN items you have within visual and physical range, and not issue." You all learned this somewhere I'm sure.

On topic.

The market is always right and each of us have to bond to it and share responsibilities appropriately.

You have to have the display to see the game.

The games played we can look at soon enough. They are played more with fake things than with real, in the market, actions.

So heavy scalping techneiques can now be put on the table.

We can do the others too, if anyone feels like it.
