Scalper,

Can you elaborate on your statement "it became very clear which side needed the liquidity". Also, is there a reason you don't trade ES?

Thank you

Applejuice. I'm assuming he meant that whichever way to market had moved during the day, it became apparent that the longs that had driven the market up had to sell the last 30 minutes. Or vice versa.

I've never understood why there appears to be covering on some days in the last 30 minutes of trading, and other days it just continues in whatever direction of the day.

I have traded the ES, and it really does not matter what you trade. Just pick one contract/stock and stick to it. The 6’s have had great range lately.

OK, as to liquidity, again, the whole idea is the fundamental concept of supply and demand. What I try to do on the MD Trader/Dome/Matrix/Price ladder, etc. is to figure out 1) which side is in charge and wants to move the market and 2) in order to do that, how/where/when they are going to find the liquidity to do that?

Take a look at the attached MD Trader from the other day on the 6E: now, just because size is stacked on the ask does not mean there are “more sellers” and the price will go down. In this case, it turned out to be that way, but the key/hint is the fact that HOD was 1.3819! Do you understand why that’s an important hint?

Take a look at the attached basic chart for those who use charts: do you see how it correlates to the size stacked on the ask at the same level as the last swing? You bet it traded down to 1.3796 and further!

This is not something you can accomplish like turning on switch. You have to grow into these types of numbers. The OP is trading very well and I suspect within his comfort level. The larger P/L will come with time. Goal #1: Stay in the game.
