Hello everyone out there. I happen to have a 1 on 1 mentoring session with a very experienced trader this Wednesday. What I put to you is that if you have a question I will get his answer/opinion (if the questions any good). Simple as that - any takers....?

I'm interested in his system / strategy / whatever you like to call it. But even more importantly: is there really a time were systems start to fail because of changing markets or is that a myth? How does he cope with this and does he alter the system? How does he adapt to changing circumstances? I would ask this if I knew anyone professionally occupied with trading in my surroundings. Let me know what he says.

This! Real stop hunts performed by the institutional/bank traders, not the broker type.

Ask what was the turning point in his career. About the eureka moment when it all started to make sense.
Trading for a living? No problem.

I was just clarifying the type of stop hunts since there are 2 types. Asking about the broker type would seem to me a waste of time since he wouldn't be able to predict what a broker will do.

I Have seen and tested two of his strategies:

- a point and figure chart sytem based on pullbacks while going with the trend

- a scalping system based off an rsi and bb bands

with the point and figure chart any timeframe works simple get in on a pull back noting the size of previous pullbacks in the recent history. With the scalping system it was on the 1-5minute chart and just played on overbought oversold signals and when price jumped back into the bb bands.

That being said I havent had a word with the dude but he trades an account in the millions

Ill ask about stophunts so are there any other areas people are interested in? - could be anything - from levels to volume from psychology to data events!

Thanks for the responses by the way keep the ideas coming

Stop hunts can be seen on the chart, look out for major S/R levels / widely reported stop levels on news services / large option barriers etc.. (which are the targets) and watch as the price spikes into it. Large clusters of stops provide large market participants places where they can liquidate their positions - as these guys cannot just simply unload anywhere they want without moving the price against them. For example watch price zig-zag up all day which shows accumulation, then a final spike right into the heart of a large cluster of stops - you can trade the retracement that follows with enough practice when you can notice these things
