Had a pm asking about my template...

Here it is nothing fancy...They are never all one....

I have the same exact template but the indis are set with 3 different times
820am gold platinum bonds currencies
900am crude natty gas
930am ES NQ YM cattle soybeans

Trading nowadays Gold and ES only..

Hope this helps...and btw you dont need to pay TV for a subscription for 10 indis...I think I pay $50 cad a mth ??? not sure.
You can do all with the free version and a little creativity..

I have to stop what I am doing ( screen watching) and throw it again when she returns it. No one told me Poodles need entertaining all day

Hi Cashbox

I was going to post that exact same Video one day, one of the best Volume Strategy's you can trade.
Yes, I actually do trade in a very similar way as Fabia does for the past year (as well as Blue's Strategy) - except I take many scalps along the way due to impatience.
It's the strategy you can trade really LARGE size trades with extreme confidence they will work out.

First of all, what's the number one Volume tool you can use on a Chart.

Number 3 is VWAP
Number 2 is Volume Profile
Number 1 is Volume Bubbles.

Let's see how I traded a Short Squeeze on NQ at end of session on Thursday. I opened up my Long after waiting for the Shorts to be struck on the wrong side of the Market. I entered above that purple line and was happy to leave it open into Friday Mornings Open because I knew I was right while those traders were being destroyed. Fabia would have waited half a day later when the market was starting to destroy more sellers higher up.

Below you can see the chart, the first Big Sells was the PIVOT you are looking for to go LONG - but only when price returns back to this point.
Fabia talks about how most traders try to guess direction too early, without waiting for the correct market structure to prove direction is correct.

And the best tool is the Volume Bubble
The best Setup is after a Short or Long Squeeze proven by Volume Bubbles.


Cheers

PS. The correct template includes the Tools Blue has on his charts - the additional of Volume Bubble tells the trader which part of Volume is important.
Half of all Volume is just Wash Trades by Market Makers and of No Importance, Volume Bubbles tells us WHAT's IMPORTANT.

Here's two Gold trades I took from Friday, using Blue's examples of VWAP bounces but instead using Volume Bubbles as the real Pivot

That's prove Professional traders mostly use VWAP & Volume Profile together.

Hi RickM! Hope you are doing well and you've enjoyed your travels. Sorry, not on here much anymore. Maybe one or two days every few months now.
Yes, seems the large size and confidence comes from the squeezes ending with pops just on the other side of the squeeze areas...due to the larger order trades being stopped out. The volume bubbles interest me. I looked at Bookmap a long time ago and didn't like the limit orders being included because they could be removed/spoofed at any time so it didn't seem dependable. And, yep, I'm still trading using the same system you saw when we were in the discord room.

Hi Cash

Always good to hear from you, I hope your keeping well.

I don't think any Futures trader I ever meet found an edge trading Limit Orders on ES NQ Gold or Oil - not a single trader.
The ES book for example used to have thousands on every level a decade ago - but now there's only a couple of hundred's orders at every level now.
There is NO EDGE there anymore unfortunately so glad you wasted NO time with that silly idea.
Good to hear your'e still trading that great system of yours.

These days, I believe it's all about trading Large Delta - hence trading Large Trade Bubbles is perhaps the best way forward.
Catch up with you some day, trading from Arizona soon probably because I like the Mexican food there best.

Cheers

On another note:

Being UK based ( more used to CFD trading) I saw this "Prop" firm details online:
Might interest you people considering the "prop" route ? FUTURES - No monthly Fee and one off payment caught my attention.
I have never used them so dyor.

Note the drawdown limitation.

Any comments from Futures traders welcome:

Thanks for sharing these Rick.

Incredible tools available for Orderflow traders thats for sure.. I have seen that video from Cashbox as well.

I havent really put much time in with the volume bubbles..One of those things on the backburner.

But I think its important to recognize these tools..As we all trade different and interpret the charts in our own way
what resonates with one trader may not resonate with another....

I hear the analogy the other day about a traders screen...and what may appear to be "too much" or complicated
only comes from not knowing,,,yet... Like a cockpit of a 747 with all the instrumentation,,switches, knobs etc.
How can someone fly something like that and know exactly what each and every whirlygig does ?

Training and experience

So whatever charts are posted here as long as it makes sense and works for that trader then 2

I recommend anyone interested in these methods of trading....
really study what I am attaching.

Its all about Value... Where is Value.. Where is Balance...
Are we in balance or imbalanced..using 3 basic tools
Initial Balance, Vol Profile and VWAP

THink of trading the edges... The edge of Value.

There are only 2 options from the edge of Value and that
is Return to Value,,fading the extremes or PDC Price Discovery Continuation

Forget that. Reading the CFD offering again -$25K account ( No challenges)- costs you $1125

Tradeify Futures cost $244 one time fee. And no challenges

Have I got this right ?

Is volume profile always drawn from the same place, previous days US market close or can it move from Market session to Market Session ?

Say US close, Tokyo Close, UK Close ?

It can literally be attached anywhere Shabs... The opens are common.. whether it's the US session or the entire trading day including all 3 sessions..

As well what they call "composite vol pro" which just means more than a day or a session... Many will use a weekly and monthly VP to get major levels from.

My gotos are simply 6pm ET- to whatever NY market I'm trading either 820 9 or 930..
Then another VP from.that open to the close 4 or 5 pm NY...

The other goto is a weekly...I find that coincides well with weekly VWAPs... And lastly whenever there are distinct ranges with overlapping IBs.. I have a planned post on this as these can be very very useful.

And that all ties back to The IB is simply a distribution itself..

I will make a post with some charts and make it all clear...

Excellent question..Thanks
