I am starting a trading journal where I can post images and ideas for my homework on the weekend. My first images can be found here:
I've been doing this loosely for years now and feel posting publicly will help with accountability.
Currently I use NinjaTrader and Jigsaw. The paid indicators I use are Trade the Plans Divergence Analyst, Volume Analyst and the Roe Bars. In Ninja's suite I use Market Profile, along with weekly pivots, lizards Monthly and weekly.
My influences are: John Grady, Peter Davies, Daniel Roe, Axia futures, Jim Dalton, David Weis
((if you apply this to other markets, the quarterly pivots are interesting on the ES) I've been experimenting buying and selling puts in the SPY based on the weekly ES pivots. Last week was nice when the ES hit the W-S3. What I missed was the reversal))
Back to the ZB. Here's my work station for the week. I've added information to see if I can benefit. I recently watched the webinar HIRO indicator by Spot Gamma in Bookmap and thought to myself I wonder if I could do something similar. So I popped open the Time and Sales window for the ZB options contract and Jigsaw's reconstructed tape with a filter of 10 (I usually have it at 100)
Some may be wondering why the ZB?
John Grady, I'm not sure if it was his basic course or a webinar , stated that the ZB has one of the most stable circles that trade it. His analogy of it was, when you are sitting down to play poker, it's the same group of guys day in and day out. It's stability, pays well and liquid.
