Typical plan for the day. Brief example -- more details are in Webinar 4.1 on FT71's website. (Below is my assessment of what he describes)
  • Start by looking at trading calendar (news events etc)
  • Next look at Big Picture: FT71 uses a 405 minute day session only chart (1 bar = 1 RTH session)
  • Review the composite profile chart
  • Read the "story" the market is telling
  • When market is in balance: create a micro composite to show what prices were doing during the ranging/balance span of days - until the market breaks out of that range (no longer in balance)
  • (Why composite profiles? Want to see inside the bar, not just OHLC - at what prices did most of the trading take place?)
  • Determine "where did the market like prices, and where did it not?"

(Think from auction perspective: if iPhone were sold tomorrow at $50, how long will prices remain at $50? What is the fair price of an iPhone? (~$200). What happens if AT&T offered for $50, would you buy it? (Yes) What if the inventory @ $50 is limited, how much volume would happen (very limited - supply will be gone very quickly). That becomes an unfair price to the seller, so the seller will raise prices quickly. Prices will continue going up until the new price becomes unfair, and there are no new buyers.)

Mike

isn't it also true that...

likewise; statistically, overnight sessions also tests or breaks the day sessions high or low....

in perpetuation?

just a thought, mike.

Statistically the day session tests or breaks the overnight high or low 96% of the time.

Homework is most important

What happened after HFT came in?
A strategic game of play is needed for every individual trader

Trader needs a game plan for the next trading day

Trading relying on knowledge of basics

Risk is key… never forget!

What is more likely to happen in the market?

With homework done no more work needed

1) Information risk versus
2) Price risk

Context - try to figure out the where the mariet goes
"what is your timeframe?"
- swing trader?
- scalper?
- daytrader?

@Private Banker, can I ask if you watched the webinar -- and if so, what did you think? I ask because I know you incorporate a lot of the same ideas.

Hi Mike,

I have not had a chance to watch it yet. I'll watch it and report back here with my thoughts. Sounds interesting though.

I've now seen a lot of his webinars, and I think this was his best presentation of his method.

It was also interesting that he said it didn't matter what method you adopt, as long as you stick with it and master it.

I suspect he'll get a lot of new clients for the brokerage, too.

Perhaps you could convince him to do one focused on reading the DOM next time?
