But essentially the WHOLE trade was taken based on nothing more than the Market Mechanics{image}


Ok, so you call it market mechanics. Whatever boss why not

{quote} Hi spzd I wish you the best. My point is trading on Futures is expensive and the only reason to do so is have access to volume data. Otherwise its cheaper to trade S&P 500 with CFD's and not bother paying for something you don't need. I C Markets has good spreads on the S&P, and zero data fees unlike Futures where you are paying about $100 a month for access to a good platform and data plus fees just for pushing a buy button. As an example, last night I was trading ESZ22 (E mini S&P) where I took well over 60 trades. At 4pm this afternoon,...
I don't trade, nor do I want to, at that frequency. The 22-pts mentioned above were 2 trades with multiple contracts. So all is good from where I stand.

I have found my niche in trading the S&P and that is on the MES for now. I am not foreseeing my personal volume reaching a size that will alter what I am doing.

$640 is a lot of commission and fees. Hope it was worth it.

Take care

Using GAP high after UK session and GAP low before New York session. Then watch SB levels and my channel afterwards.

Edit: New York Equity Open sees a big move up after the pre Equity open but then downwards towards the New York 2:30pm (UK time) Equity Open - after which it shoots up on the Equity Open ( SB often alludes to this phen...pheno...movement..) Is this a "pumpy" spzd?"

Targets can be levels to the Left

Fake and flip from the New York Pre Open hour - which happened to make a neat consolidation between the big bar at the pre open and big bar at the equity open
( with little bars - inside bars -between?) - price pumps up from that consolidation at equity hour open and then dumps back into that consolidation off that nice big pin.
In realtime the pin should have alerted me to be awake...price then made an inside bar that was broken/ engulfed.

I've ended up with 4 points profit after all that. Sitting here confused now - the 5 minute says stay short but I don't want to get back in ( fear) and the one minute says stay short and price is bumping off gap low. I think I will finish today with my few pips and simply watch. I have had a fright at almost trashing my trades by missing that pump action. Yes channel was the only thing that saved me from disaster.

Greetings spzd ..
I am glad to see discussion of SB's method. I would like to join in . I trade FX .. major pairs and some Jpy cross pairs .
Been following SB videos for many months and trading FX for nearly twenty years.
SB has confirmed a lot of my 'suspicions ' about the FX market... which is what has earned my attention.

Been reading your thread ... almost caught up ... . I would like to discuss with other FX traders using SB methods.
If any are interested .. I am in the Central US time zone. So NY session and Asian session.

The discussion is pretty loose as you can see.

You are more than welcome to post here. As I have said, I am fairly new to trading PA. SB is the catalyst to my big plunge. Many of the aspects of his method fit with how I approach the markets and trading (idea wise) so it felt natural, and my progress has been quite good so far.

I am also Central US.
