  1. let me save your years of frustration......avoid MM and stocks in general....futures and commodities are more scalable and you do not need the grind of equity to burn you out.

    Why do you prefer futures and commodities? Also, what Wyckoff methods do you use when scalping futures?

    I keep it simple and just look at a chart to determine trend, i don't really use any indicators. MA's are a self fulfilling prophecy so any of the popular ones bear watching because chances are there will be a quick trade there, even if the trend just stops momentarily and then continues.

    I'm not sure how people trade dark pool liquidity. I used to use dark pools to get big orders filled when I worked at a fund....thats all I thought they were good for. You could get 100k+ shares of an illiquid stock done in a flash, there are some sharks in those dark pools.
