There is something I would like to share. Don't use any <1H zone created in Asian session if you're not trading AUD, NZD, JPY related pairs. They cannot represent institutional order flow due to low volume.

I used to trade oscillators on S/D levels. Maybe that's what you do. It would be better to trade with the trend. The tested levels are weak.

Your candles are colorful. Do you mind sharing what those colored candles mean?

This indicator is broken. Try this one.

When I firstly studied CCI, I found many statistical facts behind it. I used four CCI together to get on a trend, then two. Now, I analyze and modify Woodie's CCI to make them work for me. Patterns and moving averages are just the surface. Also, ...

It seems like I reinvent the wheels.... I've never known Woodie CCI before. I call it skewness arbitrage. Haha, it's not about options. Hint: If you look into CCI and the theory behind it, you'll know that Woodie CCI works for all timeframe and all ...

Hi Akt, Thanks for your reply. I find it interesting when you mention balance and imbalance. It reminds me volume profile. When price is within a volume distribution, it's balanced. If it's moving from one distribution to another, it's imbalanced ...

There is one thing confuse me when trading supply and demand. Sam says unfilled orders located at base drives the market. In fact, unfilled orders are limit orders. They are passive buyers/sellers, so they can't drive the market. Only market orders ...

1. It's in a downtrend, 2. so the trade needs some confirmation. 3. It would be better to switch to a lower time-frame and trade with a lower entry and a tighter stop loss.

It's all about how you use a stop loss. When I trade futures, I seem a stop loss as a max loss per trade. If the entry is not good enough which means the stop loss is not beyond some structure high/low or VAH/VAL, I will just give the trade up. I ...

Cool, you trade pure price action on 1m timeframe. Do you use volume profile or other order flow tools to confirm price actions?

1. Win-Rate and Risk-Reward are designed for machines, not for human. 2. You are not a machine, so don't trade any fixed setup or system. 3. Trade the market, analyze the order flow and pull the trigger with confidence. 4. Those who only trade ...

An analyst on a volatility trading desk... I'm not familiar with delta trade. I am here to learn from any successful trader.

Thanks again. I've read many posts of yours and found you heavily emphasize on risk management. I used to play poker and I find it interesting that the risk management between trading and poker are similar. It's all about win-ratio, risk-reward and ...

Reply to people think that it's impossible to have very high returns. We CFD traders are like CTA institutional traders because we trade for profits (capital gains). The following links are the CTA type hedge funds 2020 annual returns managed by ...

Thanks for your reply. It's a very rare opportunity to talk to someone who's inside the industry and would like to share an insightful opinion. If we design an indicator looks like $profit per $risk, institutions are probably the best, right? Then, ...

As an old school trader, how do you think of quantitative trading which becomes really popular nowadays? A system with 30% annual return is considered good. However, it's low for individuals to have a return like that, IMHO. 30% return is big for ...

Before I turned to another style of trading, I loved BB very much. It represents statistical facts. Shorter period and longer period of BB could be used to detect the overall direction, pullback and momentum. Another good assistant tool is CCI. You ...

Good to find this post. I tried to trade without these tools by using supply and demand but it didn't work out. Stick to my VP and CD. Ha.
