Yeah seems a perfect day for that -- I did some of those myself -- now it breaks dn from the range to below 125.
Gday All, Just want to thank all the regular posters in this thread. I've just finished reading the whole thing and it helped me understand more about trading Treasuries. Can anyone recommend any books or other material for someone that wants to get started scalping ZN and ZB intraday? I'd like to learn to trade only from the DOM, is there anyone else here that trades without charts? Is it a realistic approach?
no too much risk with even a 10 lot you risk 3000-4500 every trade so I have been trading the Futures NOB. The 30 yr cash is 7 ticks wide and the ten yr cash is so thin that being said I sometimes trade the Ten yr cash outright when I want to make or lose a quick 2 grand in ten seconds! HA! Trading some spooz also when also everything is so thin it really doesn't matter I have even widened my risk appetiite but got smoked this month not a lot but death by a thousand cuts is painful as well... You can not trade without charts to the previous poster these markets are so wide the 5 by 5 dom is going to get you killed read the book mind over markets and learn market profile since it was basically created for treasuries other than that trade what you see and not what you think or you will be blown out soon!
If you mean manually, this is the most crazy thing you can think about...these days on ZB... and it's the last thing you should have learnt if you really read this thread
Hi Bernard. From what I have read it sounds like most trade with charts. There has been no mention of trading from the DOM only in this thread. I wondered if many do? I was reading about this technique elsewhere and wondered if it is a popular approach with scalpers. I have been practicing on NT sim lately although as I understand it the fills are not realistic. Cheers mate.
The fills on Ninja Trader SIM are very realistic...when the book gets cleaned out for 10 levels, is that realistic enough for you?
