Finally, I was able to verify my account with FTX, set up the CSCALP and placed my first trade. Then the first problem appeared. The trade was running in profit then I decided to close using a sell limit, I got an error message that says "not logged in, timestamp is too far from current time". I continued to try and I kept getting the same error code. Later the trade came back into a loss and eventually I was able to close without getting the error. I have placed some other trades without problems, but sometimes the error appears and sometimes it...
Finally found the cause of this problem. My system clock seems to go off from internet time with few second to minutes, so I have to keep synchronizing about every hour to fix it.

Hey Pranet,
I've read the thread 2 times and i installed/downloaded everything. I've been swing trading for a month now, but this seems completely different. I'm still not sure what exactly are the parameters we're looking after to start/close trades here. Can you explain your view on this, and what are you looking at when you scalp?

Am still a learner myself, trying to figure out a way to make consistent profit form this. What actually attracted me was the spread collection and the use of big volumes, but these are not as easy as it is being presented in the thread. You have to battle with a lot of robots and getting your order filled during spread collection is not guaranteed. Also, the volumes are constantly changing. Seems you need some special skills to make consistent money out of this. That explains why the thread seems to be inactive. I will continue to learn though, trying to see if am missing anything.

Hi Pranet, and the other guys as well. Haven't been here for a long time ,tell the truth I hope that the thread will continue on its own, because I have shared all necessary information to start trading using DOM,but unfortunately it is almost dead ,which not make the information in the thread less worthy or inactual.

Pranet, I have never told that it is easy(probably you mean that I say that it is not difficult to detect situations in the DOm, for work them out you need only practice practice and practice) , and the trading itself cannot be like this, because of only that fact that the market is changeable. Making money ,if we are speaking let's say 1k per day or about 300k in year is always not an easy thing even if you are a high good educated person and working on his profession. To be a good specialist in any field is not an easy work , to be competitive you should work every day on your technique and your growth or otherway you will have no chances.

I have no other income except my private trading, for me it is not a casino ,it is not a hobby ,it is a full time job and I love and worth it very much! From the first steps I always tell to any who want to start tradeding - build it as a business, and consistency here is a key. Spent 15 minutes to one hour (more better)a day to trading every single day ,and after 6 month you will build an account and grow as a you can trade and make your first withdrawals in case if you work enough hard you can grow to this level much more earlier But as a as we all known human is lazy animal , and he will find 1001 cases not to take his ass and work,otherwise we all would live in a better world.

I repeat- all necessary actual information and instruments for start are in the thread ,the rest is up to you. It will be my pleasure to help with answers on real trading but not technical question/situations(which you can find by yourself)- like how to change Cscalp's DOM's decimal pricing etc...

Regards and keep in touch!

What's your advice to this problem...
You dont need so much TF charts ,M much more enough.Also make your clusters settings right to see easily a big volume passed on a current price. +use x decimal pricing function, for example I have X15 for atom, due to volatility you can make this setting higher or lower. The final meaning of all the settings of scalp is to make the DOM(glass+clusters+tape) as clear as possible to notice participants in the DOM.

A good trader is a careful trader. Right after the war starts I have checked Cscalp registration. It is registered on Cyprus ,so I breathed freely. I have been using their soft more than 3 years and no problem from then. I also have tried to find alternative to cscalp but couldn't find the soft with the same functionality.

Hello Machinator! I've been working with cScalp for 2 months already. I have plenty of time to learn, I spend 8+ hours on this every day, trying to get more experience with each trade. Thank you very much for starting this thread, if I succeed it will really be a life changer! However, I'm not successful at all so far.
I have a few questions though, and I think they haven't been answered before, excuse me if they were, but I read the full thread like 5-6 times and I couldn't find answers to them (also watched every video here https://fsr-develop.com/the-free-of-...calping-course)
1. You previously said you only need the DOM to trade, charts are secondary. I'm mostly waiting for multiple touches on a level for breakout, so I can't imagine how I would do this only through the DOM?
2. What exactly can we see from the clusters? I understand the big limit orders or ticks philosophy, but I'm not sure how exactly to read the clusters for trade opening formations.
3. It's confusing which instruments to pick (I'm only working on binance because the most liquid coins are there, and in the future I would be able to open bigger volume trades without liquidity being a problem). I watch the "most moving tickers" from the cscalp bot (it's on the diary as well), but when I review the charts I find that I missed a lot of good, high probability breakouts on the other instruments.
4. I still haven't noticed a single robot in the past 2 months, because I'm not really sure how to look for them. Can you tell more about this? I understand their repetitive nature from some videos or your explanations, but I'm watching so many other things so I can't notice the repetitive tickers.
I noticed most of your trades are bounces/breakouts of huge volumes or following a robot when it appears. I've watched many livestreams of Boris and this is not his way of work (he probably still trades with robots, but I don't understand Russian, so I can't catch what he's saying), also the cscalp instructions don't cover this topic too well.
These are the questions I have...All in all I have trouble understanding what exactly do I put my attention to. I also have 4 good 27" monitors in front of me, so maybe I'm a bit overwhelmed with information as a beginner...
Thank you again for this thread and sharing so much valuable info, I stopped working on every other project I had (non-trade related) and started focusing full time on this, because I am a strong believer that it's possible to make it work. It just seems really hard because the questions that I have can only be found in a language I don't understand (even thought it's not too different from mine, I'm from the Balkans).

Hi Anmos,glad to read u,and thanks for constructive questions! So one by one-

1. Right 5 minutes ago I catch the screenshots for you. Look on screenshot it GMT perp-future. I see densities in the glass, then look on chart and see that probably breakout coming. I see active buyings in the glass click long from the last volume and close my trade immediately with 1.5 % profit. Looking on the chart I can suppose that all Japanese session long these volumes were in the glass, and it was possible to catch pullbacks from them. And for entering in breakout or in pullback I must see a basis for a trade in the glass! Most of the times when this basis in the glass disappear or finishes I close the trade.

2.On the screenshot below you can see CLEARLY that the volumes in the glass have been eaten and not removed so it was a real volumes and they have been eaten. The basic idea of glass trading is to find participants which are moving the market ,for this/to detect them we have a)clusters b)tape c)orderbook -all of them are important ,works with each other and should have appropriate settings through to volatility and liquidity on them, to see them with one catch of the eye.

3. Look ,let's think together- you write that you chose Binance bacause of liquidity,surely the binace the most liquid market from exists,but do you really need a liquidity for the moment? I mean with your deposit and trading volume sizes? Something tells me that for the moment volatility is what you need ,because of with your trading volume size you can close your trade with limit order at any price you want. So with your depo size trade liquid instrument which are heavy and have small moves is not the best idea. Try to find volatile instruments with activity in the glass and catch this moves.-FTX is a best for this. I have account on FTX ,on Binance where I trade mostly new listings, and recently watching Bybit futures to find some interesting situations in this exchange glass. So make conclusions by yourself,but I recommend to open an account also on FTX and have a look on their glasses.

4.Make your Cscalp DOM settings right ,and continue to monitor ,once your eye will catch one, you will identity the next one easier. Look this video
Inserted Video
from 6:30 ,instrument SXP on BInance ,robot buying buy the market 5K contracts, you don't need to understand russian just look in the glass! The trader on video entered with the robot and closed his trade when the robot finished.
Look on next robot on the same video from 14:48- the isntrument OMG, the limit order robot, which puts/move his limit on the best price of the spread.The trader on video enter with this robot and close his order with market order when when the robot's volume was going to be eaten. Hope this helps you!

...Yes you are right my style is different from Boris style, I am pure scalper,and in 99% of my trades I use this technique-fast trades with high volume. And I don't hold my trades too long.
If your monitor 4K like mines- it is good more DOMS you have in front your eyes- more potential situations you can notice and work them out, even if they are full HD it also enough for effective scalping.

Anmos ,don't give up, only thing you need is practice practice and practice ,a little bit logical thinking and a simple common sense to manage risks.

Regards and keep in touch!

Thank you so much Machinator! I think the reason I'm failing so far is because I'm following and trying different trading styles. You probably heard the expression "A master of ALL is master of NONE. Let me see if I understood everything correctly:
1. The huge volumes above the price on GMT were good opportunities to bounce/pullback scalp. Looking at my trades from the diary, my most successful trades have been pullbacks off big volumes. However, I can see on the chart that before the breakout there was a long consolidation and multiple touches on the candle highs, so there was a high probability that the breakout was coming. You said you click long after last volume, does that mean you clicked long after the highest volume as it was getting eaten? (I uploaded an image pointing out which one)
Also, if it's only 1 level of huge volume, how do you decide when to stop trading for pullbacks and the breakout will start? I notice the ticks accelerate most of the times, but are there other indicators for a breakout coming as well?
2. This is what I was looking in the clusters so far as well, what confused me was that in the cScalp instructional videos they said to look at the clusters for important historical levels, and I also saw Boris sometimes opens his trades according to clusters.
3. I have FTX acc already, but my logic behind using Binance is that I get good practice for when the time comes that I'm using big volumes. For the moment, I'm not very interested in the money aspect, but I have some money in the side ready to enter with bigger amounts as soon as I'm sure that I know what I'm doing. But I will test FTX for a few days, maybe I find some gold there.
4. I'll focus for some time on looking for robots only on the most volatile instruments for the day, without other distractions. I've noticed robots like the one on OMG in the video (twisting robot), which comes after the best bid/ask until the order is fulfilled. Sometimes they are spoofers, but with time I'm getting to recognize them better.
Thank you very much for the support and taking your time to teach us! I think the trading style that you use suits my personality mostly as well, so I'll just try to follow it and see how well I do.
Two more questions:
1. Many instruments are listed on both FTX and Binance. (for example, right now the most moving instrument in both exchanges is DODO).
Second screenshot is from the DODO futures on both FTX and Binance. I assume because of correlator robots the move the same, but I guess you would trade this instrument on Binance, because the limit orders are bigger in the glass and it's clearer what moves the price?
2. Do you use any alerts on cScalp about big volume orders, iceberg orders etc?

U r welcome, Anmos.
1. Nobody knows when the breakout will occur. I even dont speak about false breakouts etc. You algoritm working with big volumes/densities in the glass should be- a) you see the big volume b) put your limit orders before it c) clothe your trade or with profit or when the volume is going to be finished/or removed.So till the big volume exists as a scalper your trade is a pullback trade, to reverse (after closing your trade when you see that the volume is going to be eaten) you should see it least intensive market thicks to your side ,mostly it depends with what intensivity the volume is eating. So you trade pullback than probable breakout if you see ''seething'' in the glass.
I repeat one more time nobody knows when the big volume would be aeten, nobody knows except the limit order's owner, will he remove it or no,you are trading probabilities ,that's all you should know. Why I speak speak and speak continuingly about the practice-only with pracitce you will learn how to work correctly with the volumes in the glass, filter ,some trades, and to load bigger trading volumes in the trade.

2. Difficult to notice all the ticks in the tape ,clusters will clearly tell you what was going on in 5,10,15..... minutes earlier.

3. Very good,I am sure you will find FTX interesting. The key is to find situations/algorithms in the glass which are already familiar to u and work them out.

4. Don't fix on them, even to trade robot in the glass is one of the most profitable setups in my trading. Just trade and you will see a lot of interesting things even besides robots.

I think Scalping is the most profitable style of trading ,of course there is a ceiling of liquidity ,but it is not a easy job) to reach it in any liquid market.

5. No I will trade an instrument where I will find understandable situation in the glass, the exchange does not matter. Look- if you see in Binance glass a participant who lets say is pushing 1m contracts limit order up in DODO glass ,on FTX you will see just market maker push the price up, and vice versa. So I will trade the glass when the trading situation is going on.

6.No only Cscalp bot, because of I monitor in the same time about 80+ instruments on Binance , FTX and Bybit and thats enough. During the day I monitor the market and add an instrument which I don't have on my displays.

Have nice weekend and keep in touch!

To be very honest, personally I don’t prefer the crypto trading pairs for the scalping trading! Because crypto pairs are too volatile and you can’t use the tight SL on this kind of trading pair! On the other hand, you need to use the tight SL when you are scalping! It’s confliction to each bother! That’s why I prefer only long term trading on the crypto pairs!

Amazing results. I'm very glad you're back in the thread Machinator, and thank you for the effort and your detailed answers. You have no idea how much that means to me, and probably other people as well.
So if I understand correctly most of your trades (if not all of your trades) revolve around 1. Big volume orders 2. Robot in orderbook. Is this correct?
Also, you say you screen the 80 DOMs on your monitors during the day. When you screen them, what are you looking for on the instruments? Do you pick only the ones which have a big volume appear (or a robot start putting same sized ticks)?

Hi Anmos!

1.Yes you are almost right. Not just big volume limit orders but also market orders, sometimes I catch big ticks in the order book, it is also a part of my trade style. Shortly I try to found understandable market inefficiency(imbalance between supply and demand) in the glass and trade it out. But find a good robot is still the most profitable part of my trading. Look in the screenshot it is Mina perpetual future M5 chart about 10 minutes ago. What was the reason of such kind of a nice 2% move!? - I see the robot -very looks like on the second video I have shared. It pushed 60k contracts limit order up.I entered with the robot 21K contracts ,why so much because I didn't see any scalper except me in the glass, then I push the price with 1k marker orders then with just 5 contracts(robot was moving his limit order up with the price went up) and then closed my whole position 28k contracts with market order on the robot volume with about 0.8% of profit. So I had reason for trade in the glass , I had point when I closed my trade or with profit or with loss -so I made a trade.

2.I have always by default all major liquid instruments in front my eyes like btc,eth, bnb,xrp,sol, luna ...etc.And I add or remove during a day or a week instruments which are in the game and monitor them. Thats all.

Have a nice weekend and keep in touch!

Hi guys,

Just happened to see this trade while picking up studying it again.
Noticed a pinbar/sqeeuze on GMT-PERP on the chart (circle marked)

I then looked at the glass and noticed a bigger volume where i put my 1st limit sell on. Price did hit it and moved away.
Next i noticed another level of volume where i added to my position.

Closed both for +0.4%

I just happen to have issues with Quantower so on the chart the old entry lines are still visible.

Since im having one monitor i will try to pick only the points which i can understand, like pinbars and then like Machinator tells us, look for a reason (big volume in my case here) and then just go in. It either will be a win or a loss, but the probability is higher it will work.

Well back to studying. Plan to post more regular if thats okay.

Take care, have a good rest of the weekend.

Just happened to see this squeeze on CHZ-PERP.

After the squeeze bar ended i looked for bigger sell limit volume in the glass and took the trade.
Took profit at 0.65% but failed to make a good screenshot. Entered around the blue line and my emergency stop would be the high of the squeeze in this case.

Waiting for a pinbar/squeeze and then getting in pays. Thanks Machinator!

Another one, NEAR-PERP.

I had marked a point of interest which told me bias seems down.
Then we had an up bar trying to come back up to this zone, it failed to push through.

At this point i looked at the glass and noticed the point of control was bearish and volume was more bearish so i entered around the blue marked level
and exited around 0.6%

Just looking for some reason to enter after finding a probability (perhaps i do it the other way around...)
Machinator tells us to look for clues and then trying to understand what makes up this move. I think i do it the other way around lol.

It just works, for me its just waiting for some patterns/setups and then look at clues in the glass.
See if i can get some robot volume detector running so i have more probabilities.

Take care all
