Anyone noticed the nasty sell bot that is doing these push downs. Stuffs the levels behind nesting orders on the second best and above offers. Then jumps down 1 with icebergs and drops the offer if anyone jumps in front.
f'n nasty........ unless you are with it!!

Regarding Range days...

This is a custom indicator that i had coded for me, i call it TPO momentum.

Each dot represents the 'most agreed to price' as defines by auction market theory, market profile. On the histogram, you can see the difference between each dot plotted. When difference between them is the least for the longest, is typically when you have the range days. In other words, the market is trapping participants, then they hits the exits...

It looks like it's just a dot on the close of each bar? So the histogram would be plotting the differences between the closes?

No, quite often that point is near the close, the dots are scaled quite large...

Sam I have been playing around with the 'other' Euro indices this week just for a bit of a look. I gotta say you would be better off playing with them. The correlation to the DAX is just about 1 and they are much smaller. So you are going to get the same setups and actually be able to trade them with a reasonable size account and daily stop.

I have not really looked at the CAC before but its a beauty. @ 5 EUR a tick (10 EUR a point) and an ATR at just under 1/2 the size of the DAX its much more realistic proposition to be trading. You would be looking at a generous daily stops around 250-300 rather than a tight DAX stop of 1000-1500.

The chance of you building up $$s to trade the DAX will be 3-4 times longer than the CAC or EURO STOXX.

Weekly summary:

+655 ticks on DAX.
45 trades.
Win rate 76%
Average winners > average losers
Biggest winner > biggest loser.

Was busy Friday so didn't trade.

I think I went okay, but considering how much was available I definitely missed out on some, there was definitely at least 2 big winners I missed out on and had some silly moments, dug some small holes when I lost a little patience and jumped in ahead of it screaming for me to, or trying to anticipate a pattern that didn't actually eventuate.

But on the flip side I had some really great trades, good entries and held for most of a move. I need to continue working on the patience, go easy on the trigger and although I did have a couple of good ones where I held on, I feel I need to do this more, have enough guts to follow through with my broader ideas for how the day might play out.

Well done Sam, that's a stellar result. 8100+ Euro's. I've not had a month like that, let alone a week.

Wouldn't mind having a look? Why? Because someone made $13k in a week on it?

Every market has someone making $13k on it in a week. From penny stocks to large cap, from spot gold to orange juice futures, from fine wine to bitcoins... hardly seems like a reason to jump in?

My thinking was that I'd watch what Thingo is doing and try to create rules and systematize it/backtest it. First using daily data. Then if that worked, intraday.

I'd try the same with anyone making big money and posting their trades online.
