Introduce Yourself Here - Don't Be Shy!!
Soultrader replied to trading4life's topic in Beginners Forum
Hi erie, welcome aboard and looking forward to your comments. -
Been a while since I made a video. I have changed my trading slightly using more market profile and less shorter term tools such as TICK and tape. Concept here is to apply technical strategies around an idea whether it be VSA or market profile. In this video, I apply a short bias idea into market profile and then narrowing it down to VSA. CLICK HERE TO VIEW VIDEO Note: Audio is low so make sure to blast it up. Chart from later on in the day.

portfolio construction, equity+futures ??
Soultrader replied to illumintai's topic in Beginners Forum
I read an interesting report issued by UBS a while back on the portfolio management. Instead of equity-futures, take a look at adding 10% commodities, 45% bonds, and 45% equities. This ratio of mixture has offered higher returns compared to just bond-equity or equity-futures porfolios. -
Value high/low are market profile terms. It it best to visit our market profile forum for further understanding. TICKS spending time above zero throughout the morning sessions shows strength. Therefore you can apply strategies that can focus on the long side. However, you will also need to be on alert on any shift in market sentiment. If the big insitutions have to sell and have not in the morning they are likely to do so into the late afternoon session.

Posted below is a market profile of the YM from Dec. 13, 2007. Would this profile be considered a "running profile neutral day" as Stiedlmayer would put it? Range extension on both ends but with buyer control to close near the upper range. Note: Profile starts at A period.

Here is a chart from today. Part of my strategy using Market Profile then narrowing it down to techniques such as VSA (in this case) for trade location. Price rallied towards the 13520 mark. IB range extension is roughly 50% of IB range with D period tails. Possible normal day under development and predicting minimal opportunities in the afternoon session.

Why the Fed bailout might not work
Soultrader replied to Soultrader's topic in Market News & Analysis
Asian markets declined nicely today followed mainly by the banking sector on further worries on writedowns. Will need to see the US opening reaction to this. -
I wont be around the rest of this week. I have a few matters I need to attend to during the day time here in Tokyo. Will see you all next week.

I dont quite follow what Brett was talking about the TICKS telling a different story on the rally based on the FED announcement. That was premarket action with no TICK data available. Here is a pic of premarket yesterday right before the crazy rally. I am currently not trading due to compliance (until end of Dec) but am jotting trade notes until then. When the markets did open up, price could not lift at all and TICKS were hinting weakness throughout the opening range. Also, although I used to use the TICKS as a guide to determine potential trend days... I have found developing market profile to be of more use. During the first 90minutes my intuition was telling me that a potential downtrend was in development. However, this was clearly against the premarket rally/strength and took courage for any trade placements. Complete profile shows a normal variation day. Key areas will be yesterdays value area.

Congrats Walter, your posts and comments are highly appreciated. Look forward to another 2,000!

I can fully back it up. But it is not appropiate to diclose such matter publicly. I also care less about them to put in any further time discussing their practices and credibility. Your comments appear as if you are affiliated with them.

Read Dalton and then Steidlmayer in that order. It will help you understand how the markets work. The rest is pure experience and knowledge.

Im leaving this thread on to protect TL members. I have evidence which I can not disclose here of their unethical business practices. Please dont ask what as I will not disclose any further information.

Apparently the casino system can not add per individual which I just found out. I added the entire premium trader group with additional casino points so check your account and let me know if its not there.
-
Notouch, you serious or kidding? I can add casino money into your account if you need.

Yep, I moved it over to Toolbox.

Hi Hlm, I was trying to upgrade the current chat system to a newer version but messed up somehow. I will attempt to fix this by tomorrow before the markets start. The newer application has not been installed yet but will be making the adjustment soon as its functionality is far more superior than the current one.

Does anyone know if Brazilian index futures or any Brazilian related ETF can be traded? If so, through which brokers?

Thanks Maverick. For the Nikkei you will need access to the Osaka Exchange (OSE) which I believe is like $3 a month. The opening is at 9:00am to 11:00am and then from 12:30pm to 3:10pm Tokyo time. The evening session starts from 4:30pm to 7:00pm but not much liquidity yet. The most active time for the Nikkei is from 9:00am to around 10:30am and then from 12:30pm to about 1:00pm and then again from 2:30pm to 3:10pm. (Tokyo time)
