  5. That was pretty good, interesting he uses 2 OR now.. Does that go with your thinking Mav about not taking A ups in the afternoon? It also appeared he doesn't use time confirmation above the A level, for instance his S&P trade, or maybe I misinterpreted that. Eitherway that was a good presentation.

    I've been using the two OR's for years although I don't watch them now. Back in 2008 and 2009 when markets were moving crazy they were very effective. The vol is just so dead now I don't see the point. Maybe for something crazy like Gold. Today you have to understand he had to trade differently to fit things into the 90 minute window of the webinar. He explained he had a bias coming in to be long the spoos so all he wanted to see was confirmation of strength and then to get long on a pullback.

  7. At first I thought, 'wow he's lost weight', then he spun his chair around and I had second thoughts.

    I still thought he did a good job, I wish he would do a logical trader seminar again.

  8. Here are my notes from the presentation:

    930-945 opening range eastern time
    looking for low risk entry (narrow band)
    traders need to sit on hands more
    more chop due to hft, don't overtrade
    1130-1145 eastern time open for RBOB, crude due to reports
    also Brent close
    use time stops hard stops will get hit due to hft
    20% of average true range over 30 days as good as anything else
    (this was quote from Fisher mystery solved)
    still uses first two weeks of calendar year
    and first two weeks of July (never heard that one)
    risk on/off pair -es / -ty
    similar to spy- tlt as risk on metric

    likes UNG short over the summer
    go into uncrowded pairs eg MXNCAD mentioned this pair a few
    times and said it worked well with ACD
    still believes that price action from 30 days ago is significant
    and not sure why
    his scaling method is to take half off and let the rest ride
    is using trade flow for bid/ask ala market delta, market profile

    I thought it was interesting he went long emini unhedged, ususally when he trades live it is pairs. Here is the weblink to Top Step webinar:
