10:16 --2 bigger market sell orders came thru 40 cars and 46 cars both at 22925, 2 transactions, same seller. I already hit target profit today, but I might sell the rip for a quick scalp to the short side.
i scalped dax and dow for few cents, its worth leaving sell stops at LOD if you are at the desk.

called it a day around 9:40am! Superb day for me.
Helped a guy I know for the past 2 hours. Had him scalp both sides, but had him close early in profit due to choppy afternoon conditions.
But it's looking like the session lows are holding so far, possible to squeeze up at some point, maybe...I'm not convinced either way!

Good trading, share your charts if you don’t mind.

{quote} Good trading, share your charts if you don’t mind.

I don't mind at all. It's definitely pretty simple.
On the right of my chart is a summary tape, all transactions summarized as they fill at each price level...it has in this order: time, price at bid amount/ask amount and the price to right of ask is the price exchanged at ask, then the cumulative delta to the far right.

Then to the right of that is a reconstructed time and sales tape, with individual transactions (so 10 buys in 10 different orders would take up 10 lines vs summary tape it will list 1 transaction at that price for 10 contracts, that way I can track little guys vs big guys, or medium guys scaling in). That one is 1-4 contracts and the next tape to the right is 5+ contracts.
There is a power meter for each tape as well (showing amount of buys vs sells within past 60 seconds.
Then I have audible alerts for Large trades, Iceberg trades, and divergences. The audible alerts are very helpful and my ear is catching patterns without even looking at my chart, but I still do look.

I trade an opening range which I draw manually. After 1-2 wins from that, I usually scalp a pullback if there is one.
Everyday I start out checking to see if it's an inside range day. If it's inside range, all I do is sell near R zones and buy near S zones, but keep my bias flexible.
Trend days I am looking for a stair step. I quit trading if I win before 1130am, as I am usually tired and distracted in afternoons and not able to come out ahead/on top.

I'm discretionary in how I trade. Not very mechanical. Hard to describe. I am not covering everything I do, but I also try to pick off the 10 contract trades and go against them, in the sense that I try to get a better fill if the trade goes with my initial bias. If I scale in, I do it under strict entry and exit points.
There are days I'll trade the open for breakouts and others I am scaling in to trade a bias I am testing out. And scalping around my own entries.

Nice settings, good for you.
Too much info is no good for me. Just 3 variables are good enough for me. Every time I add some sort of volume based indie I will remove within minutes, my innerself defies. Thanks for sharing.

Yes and to be honest I had it sitting on the shelf mostly the past 3 months, then I dug into the training as time allowed. I can't say if Jigsaw alone has boosted my performance, as I made a lot of changes at the same time as using it. Changes that were both technical but heavily psychological I would say.
By focusing on improving my skills, I avoided/stopped the whole quest to find a perfect indicator or system. 100% focus on price action and Jigsaw helps.

Yeah that's where I'm at now, feeling like I have too much on my screen already, as far as filtered tapes, power meter, etc lol.

I am sure jigsaw tools are good, but paying a hefty I don't agree. I am going to cancel my Sierra package 5 as I am no longer using it. All I need is ask bid volume differences (delta) which comes with Sierra 3.
Any questions relate to order flow stuffs this video is paramount. Worth watching it.

i have used jigsaw some years ago, but never really got into this kind of orderbook/T&S-style trading and ended up sticking more to candlesstick type visualization of price action. but would like to learn more about this other style of trading/scalping especially.
also, thanks for the footprint trading video. i will watch that

I sense the big red bar tmrw, probably beginning of the second leg in process. Hope I am wrong on this one.

Don't be too hard on yourself, we all can get swept up in bias at times
I do it too at times

Pre-market NYC session all I see is a higher open than than yesterday's trading range. Crude inventories come out at 930 ET.
Steady buying in 5 to 10 lot range. If it drops at open, it may land on yesterday's levels for a small bounce. I'm flat till the bell rings.
Let's do it

Nice "micro" range at the opening today. I don't always do well like this.

Looking for a pop here soon, if I do continue
