This may be semantic and it does not deserve any more discussion IMHO. It is a way at least for me to keep my mental state where it needs to be - detached from any specific trades outcome.. :2c:

 

The reason I make the point is that while it may well be useful for you to believe the next trade is 50/50, I know for a fact it does not sit well with many people to think like this. Personally I don't think it's right, but I absolutely understand what you are trying to achieve by believing this. Non-biased market execution. However, what sits well with me which has the same effect on my trading is that I know I don't know (which is a phrase you have used before ;)) the probability for any specific data point i.e. I don't know where in the probability distribution of historical occurrences the very next trade will fall.

 

We both attend to our psychological requirements effectively the same way, I just wanted to explain so that others who might question such an important point could approach it from a slightly different angle. Anyway, to the current day! :)

Okay, my first take on weekend of european elections is that it shouldn't be positive for markets at all. Indeed, @PIMCO tweeted yesterday:-

 

"Gross: #Greek elections in addition to #French should be watched closely. Fiscal #austerity as policy thrust may weaken."

 

Sunday gbx trade saw a low of 42.50! But then what? On open, the DAX briefly looked lower but didn't find sellers. Really? Say again? No sellers huh? Does that mean RTH won't see selling to 'properly' test the lower levels for buyers or sellers? No. But the fact is we are much higher right now. So, either we can accept back into Friday's range and create a substantial 'Electronic Tail' or participants can view the retrace as a temporary misprice and hammer it in RTH.

 

To take into account, we are nfp week +1 which I usually find a bit lame. Nothing as far as releases out really of any note although german factory orders was better than expected. There are a host of earnings out. It's a UK bank holiday. Lot's of other potential problems ongoing in europe. blah, blah, blah. Overall, news flow and volatility is potentially high because of weekend events and price movement. I don't know what will happen, but often when these types of scenarios present themselves, we either see big price movement (sometimes both ways) or nothing happens at all. I guess we'll see soon enough ;)

 

I watched the GLobex open and trade last night off the news and "expected" this thing to flush... Now I see short covering and a good buying tail so it "appears" we over shot and are rejecting the balance area 41 - 54.00 so this should be interesting... are we going to balance up here? I would have rather seen good selling on the open then a short squeeze but heck I don't lead... SO we gap lower on RTH - then what? We have several distributions up in Globex, 54.50, 51.00 ish - midpoint... etc... Always a conundrum.. :missy:

 

Good trading everyone..

Tom, I know (as I'm sure others do too) where this idea comes from of the next trade being 50/50 probability of outcomes. Although I agree whole-heartedly with the implications, I disagree entirely with the idea.

 

The very next trade and I know to some this will be purely semantics, has very specific odds of being one outcome - in fact 100% odds. But the thing is we do not know all the factors which make up what is going to happen before the event (or even after), whereas afterwards a dataset can be analysed and probabilities artificially assigned. The truth is, when people talk about historical probabilities, they are really just talking about historical occurrences unless they truly understand the exact nature of why the market traded in such a way. This in my mind is why so many 'systems' fail. Think about a simple stat over the period of 2010. I haven't done this btw but if you said buy on rth open and sell on rth close then I'm sure the stat would be at the very least a favourable one. Yet try to carry that forward and without a deeper understanding of trend mechanics and fundamentally why one is occurring, a trader could have used this probability and lost a great amount of money.

 

Just to be clear, I feel market statistics are a very useful part of trading and if used as a guide or a yardstick for market activity, they can really help in decision making. But ultimately, it is my point that we never really fully understand (well maybe some guys do) why something has previously occurred at specific points in time and so can't reasonably be expected to predict when these certain behaviours will recur.

 

The next trade is not 50/50, but it may as well be because we don't know what the odds of the very next trade being a winner or a loser are. :2c:

 

I wonder if we spent less time on statistics and complexity and more on truly defining the most simple "market truth", if maybe then we would succeed more often than not.

 

If we truly believe in the ability for randomness or the entrance of an OTF trader to spoil our contextually unique setup, then we should constantly trade the simplest of setups. They offer the least amount of mental drawdown with an equal amount of probability for success.

 

Perhaps success in trading is more about embracing simplicity that must simply be "true" and the acceptance of being overwhelmed by the unpredictable from time to time. If the unpredictable is going to happen no matter how much thought and preparation we put into a trade than why waste time on complexity?

If they were random, then they wouldn't be "setups" at all. Just click your mouse button and pray. But they're not. This makes me think of the phrase again about "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" and really it's at the heart of why concentrating purely on TA is wrong. Trading has many facets to it which must be seemlessly integrated into a coherent trading plan in order to achieve long term trading consistency. Ignore any parts and I think the plan becomes shaky.

Just one last thing to point out about the markers as perhaps this is a good example of how I see high volume as useful. If we get beyond these markers, we are looking for acceptable prices as to where 2-way trade can occur. This usually means looking at previous "value" or high volume areas. These can subsequently either 1- accepted or 2- rejected. The former tends to push through the high volume but ultimately develop new volume somewhere in the midst of the old high volume. The latter can of course go straight through as price is perceived to be fair further away or, it can reject at or around the high volume which can lead to a counter test in the retracement direction.

I certainly accept the fact that you would never trade if you embraced the idea that markets were simply random. But its still true that the outcome of each trade you place may not fare well or end where you expected it to.

How you define the "why?" of a failed trade may only lead you to a complexity that might be unnecessary, as you might be attempting to explain failure instead of embracing the probability of it.

If my entrance was based upon the simplest of logic, math that would be understood by a 5 year old, the only variable that matters would be that it was true. After that wouldn't I just retrade that truth? (is there such a word as retrade?):rofl::rofl:

Expect some really handsome trading opportunities today. Bring a big bucket.

 

Agree, but also be careful if for whatever reason you aren't alligned with mkt.

 

So far, we basically drove back into Friday and prior balance area. 1st major high vol development was 65(long term prof) and 66.50 on the balance prof. We initially rejected at 66.25 which tells me that there's a chance we aren't going to accept this previous value. The danger imo lies if we drop back below the open and make new lows. Of course the other option is short squeeze if we hold here.

Good support at VWAP expecting new highs and targeting 68.50 and 76

would be wrong if 1360 doesnt hold

 

Yeah, looks that way potentially. Although I think it's been a little odd so far. The lack follow through kinda had me suspecting if it fell back out of friday range and broke to new lows, there could be a flush at least.

bakrob, why do you believe it's key resistance? (I'm not disagreeing btw)

 

Sellers were active there on Friday. 4 pushes did not get thru. in other words, if we do break thru it, it will signal to me that sellers are not present and hiher prices can be expected. nothing fancy

1380 possible and would be a measured move to a CLVN ... not expecting it today though. ES still having difficulty finding new buyers and the demand from shorts dumping their positions is drying up. but I don't see too much standing in the way

I was at the CBOT probably after you were there. As I recall, Peter's assistant who taught the Market Profile classes was Sherri Buyer.

 

I'm not familiar with her... I think I was in his first class.. materials were very crude. I can't remember but he rented space maybe a block from CBOT..might have been west of Wells on W. Jackson...can't remember anymore... It was early 80's...

 

As N: will attest, statistics is not my thing so it was more difficult for me since Pete S. came at it from that side but I had figured out myself about market rotations (auction theory). Initially it was those guys running the stops but my thinking changed that the market would need to go there to do business..not to pick off the stops (unless it was mine getting taken :rofl:).

 

Early on I started with AG's and then went to AG spreads - Old Crop/New Crop Bean spreads... there's an easy way to get carried out in a bag... Once I understood spreads I moved to currencies... Early on I really enjoyed T-Bills then T-Bonds and then S&P when they were introduced. A lot has changed since then...

 

I bet we know some of the same guys. I spent time at CBOT and CME... but I was always an upstairs screen trader... I couldn't deal with getting stabbed with a pencil in the pit... :helloooo:

Roztom:

I traded mostly the Muni bonds and also the Major Market Index. Some of the best tracders I knew at the CBOT were actually screen traders: they could focus more on the market and less on pit issues. The disadvantage to upstairs trading of course was that if you were a decent sized trader, you missed getting the edge on order flow.

I arrived in 9/1986 so we may have overlapped.

Roztom, for the last 20 years, I've been trading stocks for myself and as an investment advisor. I'm looking to get into trading ES or TF. Is there a reasonably priced charting program with Market Profile that you would recommend?

Are there FCMs I should be looking at for ES or TF?

Sorry to be a little off topic but am reading "Profit With The Market Profile" by John Keppler and am wondering if any of you have read it and what you think of it. Even though I don't personally draw context from MP, some of its ideas have helped me to see the market in a new way.

Seems better than "Mind Over Markets" for understanding MP. Any opinions?

      The main goal of this thread is to show what Power Trades is and how it works in different markets. We will show some patterns on the ES and NQ futures, as well as discuss possible improvements to this functionality.
      What is Power Trades?
      Ok, first we will consider what the Power Trades is and how it finds zones.
      Power Trades shows the zones with the execution of a large number of orders in a very short time, which will affect the price change with a high probability.
      Here are a few examples of how it looks like


      How it finds zones?
      There is a continuous process of placing, changing and executing orders in the market. All this affects the price change and the expectations of traders regarding the future price.
      When a large order appears at a certain level, the price is more likely to come to this order and it will be executed because the market is always looking for levels with liquidity. This already applies to the order flow and the mechanics of orders matching, so we will omit the principles on which the orders are matched.
      It is only important to understand that "abnormal events" occur in the market at certain times. Execution of a significant volume of orders in a very short time is one of such events.
      The Power Trades Scanner has several important settings that directly affect the results:

      Total Volume — the minimum value of the volume that should be traded during the specified time interval
      Time Interval, sec — the time over which the Total Volume should be traded
      Basis Volume Interval, sec — this parameter shows how much % took the traded volume in the total volume for the specified time.
      Zone Height, ticks — this parameter will show only those zones where the height is less than or equal to the specified value (in ticks).
      Level2 level count — the number of levels that are involved in the calculation of Imbalance and the Level 2 Ratio column in the table of results.
      Filter by Delta,% — the parameter will show zones that have a delta value greater than or equal to that specified in the setting. The value must be specified by the module, so the table will show both positive and negative delta values. We recommend paying attention to the zones with the delta above 50% (taking into account the specifics of each trading instrument).
      For example, let's set the Total Volume of 2000 contracts and Time Interval in 3 seconds on the E-mini SP500 futures. This means that the scan will be based on the available history and will show on the chart only those zones that have such a volume for the specified time.

      Additionally, it is worth to set a delta value to filter out the zones with one-side trades. The more delta value, the high probability that the price will reverse.

      So, as a starting point about this scanner, I think this information will be enough

      Hi everyone,
      This is my maiden analysis using volume profile - so please don't hesitate to share your feedback.
      As per the attached analysis, I think that SPY is primed for a short - for many reasons
      - Multiple strong rejection of long positions exist at Resistance R1 and R2 : seems like sellers defending their positions
      - Very strong short volume seen at R2 : further signifying sellers who are ready at that level
      However, once the price reaches Support S1, there seems to be a strong buying sentiment which has rejected previous shorts. You can see trading ranges & pullbacks to S1 where buyers and sellers seem to agree on a price range, often leading to a buyer dominance.
      What do you think?

    • Date: 2nd April 2025.   Market on Edge: Tariff Announcement and Volatility Ahead!   The US economic and employment data continues to deteriorate with the job vacancies figures dropping to a 5-month low. In addition to this, the IMS Manufacturing PMI also fell below expectations. However, both the US Dollar and Gold declined simultaneously following the release of the two figures, an uncommon occurrence in the market. Traders expect a key factor to be today’s ‘liberation day’ where the US will impose tariffs on imports. USDJPY - Traders Await Tariff Confirmation! Traders looking to determine how the USDJPY will look today will find it difficult to determine until the US confirms its tariff plan. Today is the day when Trump previously stated he would finalize and announce his tariff plan. The administration has not yet released the policy, but investors expect it to be the most expansionary in a century. President Trump is due to speak at 20:00 GMT. On HFM's Calendar the speech is stated as "US Liberation Day Tariff Announcement". Currently, analysts are expecting Trump’s Tariff Plan to impose tariffs on the EU, chips and pharmaceuticals later today as well as reciprocal tariffs. Economists have a good idea of how these tariffs may take effect, but reciprocal tariffs are still unspecified. In addition to this, 25% tariffs on the car industry will start tomorrow. The tariffs on the foreign cars industry are a factor which will particularly impact Japan. Although, traders should note that this is what is expected and is not yet finalised. Last week, President Trump stated that he would implement retaliatory tariffs but allow exemptions for certain US trade partners. Treasury Secretary Mr Bessent and National Economic Council Director Mr Hassett suggested that the restrictions would primarily target 15 countries responsible for the bulk of the US trade deficit. However, yesterday, Trump contradicted these statements, asserting that additional duties would be imposed on any country that has implemented similar measures against US products. The day’s volatility will depend on which route the US administration takes. The harshness of the policy will influence both the Japanese Yen as well as the US Dollar.   USDJPY 5-Minute Chart   US Economic and Employment Data The JOLT Job Vacancies figure fell below expectations and is lower than the previous month’s figure. The JOLT Job Vacancies read 7.57 million whereas the average of the past 6 months is 7.78 million. The ISM Manufacturing Index also fell below the key level of 50.00 and was 5 points lower than what analysts were expecting. The data is negative for the US Dollar, particularly as the latest release applies more pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. However, this is unlikely to happen if the trade policy ignites higher and stickier inflation. In the Bank of Japan’s Governor's latest speech, Mr Ueda said that the tariffs are likely to trigger higher inflation. USDJPY Technical Analysis Currently, the Japanese Yen Index is the worst performing of the day while the US Dollar Index is more or less unchanged. However, this is something traders will continue to monitor as the EU session starts. In the 2-hour timeframe, the USDJPY is trading at the neutral level below the 75-bar EMA and 100-bar SMA. The RSI and MACD is also at the neutral level meaning traders should be open to price movements in either direction. On the smaller timeframes, such as the 5-minute timeframe, there is a slight bias towards a bullish outcome. However, this is only likely if the latest bearish swing does not drop below the 200-Bar SMA.     The key resistant level can be seen at 150.262 and the support level at 149.115. Breakout levels are at 149.988 and 149.674. Key Takeaway Points: Job vacancies hit a five-month low, and the ISM Manufacturing PMI missed expectations, adding pressure on the Federal Reserve regarding interest rate decisions. Traders await confirmation on Trump’s tariff policy, which is expected to impact the EU, chips, pharmaceuticals, and foreign car industries. The severity of the tariffs will influence both the JPY and the USD, with traders waiting for final policy details. The Japanese Yen Index is the worst index of the day while the US Dollar Index is unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • HLF Herbalife stock, watch for a bull flag breakout above 9.02 at https://stockconsultant.com/?HLF
    • Date: 1st April 2025.   Will Gold’s Rally Hold Strong as New Trade Tariffs Take Effect Tomorrow?   Gold continues to increase in value for a sixth consecutive day and is trading more than 17% higher in 2025. Amid fear of higher inflation, a recession and the tariffs war escalating investors continue to invest into Gold pushing demand higher. The trade policy from April 2nd onwards continues to be a key factor for the whole market. Can Gold maintain its upward trend? Trade Policy From Tomorrow Onwards Starting as soon as tomorrow, a 25% tariff will be imposed on all passenger cars imported into the United States. While this White House policy is anticipated to negatively affect European industrial performance, it will also lead to higher transportation and maintenance costs for everyday American taxpayers. The negative impact expected on both the EU and US is one of the reasons investors continue to buy Gold. Additionally, last month, President Donald Trump announced reciprocal sanctions against any trade partners that impose import restrictions on US goods. Furthermore, tariffs on products from Canada and the EU could increase even more if they attempt to coordinate a response. Overall, investors continue to worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures, particularly from China, the Eurozone, and Japan. Any retaliation is likely to escalate the trade conflict and prompt another reaction from the US. Experts at Goldman Sachs and other investment banks warn that this will lead to rising inflation and unemployment. They also caution that it could effectively halt economic growth in the US.   XAUUSD 1-Hour Chart   The Weakness In The US Dollar Another factor which is allowing the price of XAUUSD to increase in value is the US Dollar which has been unable to maintain any bullish momentum. Despite last week’s Core PCE Price Index rising to its highest level since February 2024, the US Dollar has been unable to see any significant rise in value. Due to the US Dollar and Gold's inverse correlation, the price of Gold is benefiting from the Dollar weakness. Investors worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures from China, the Eurozone, and Japan, potentially escalating the conflict. Experts at The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. believe that such actions by the US administration will drive rising inflation and unemployment while effectively halting economic growth in the country. Can Gold Maintain Momentum? When it comes to technical analysis, the price of Gold is not trading at a price where oscillators are indicating the instrument is overbought. The Relative Strength Index currently trades at 68.88, outside of the overbought area, since Gold’s price fell 0.65% during this morning’s session. However, even with this decline, the price still remains 0.40% higher than the day’s open price. In terms of fundamental analysis, there continues to be plenty of factors indicating the price could continue to rise. However, the price movement of the week will also partially depend on the employment data from the US. The US is due to release the JOLTS Job Vacancies for February this afternoon, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change tomorrow, and the NFP Change and Unemployment Rate on Friday. If all data reads higher than expectations, investors may look to sell to lock in profits at the high price. Key Takeaway Points: Gold’s Rally Continues – Up 17% in 2025 as investors seek safety from inflation, recession fears, and trade tensions. Trade War Impact – New US tariffs and potential retaliation from China, the EU, and Japan drive uncertainty, boosting Gold demand. Weak US Dollar – The Dollar’s struggle supports Gold’s rise due to their inverse correlation. Gold’s Outlook – Uptrend may continue, but US jobs data could trigger profit-taking.

    • Date: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform. NASDAQ shows strong bearish momentum, trading below key technical levels with support at $18,313 and resistance at $20,367.95. Always trade with strict risk management.
