    There doesn't seem to be much interest. Though i still trade the same account and method. I posted a couple of times to get some interest or suggestions on how to present method.

  3. There's lots of "lurkers" who don't post but follow along, so there's interest for sure.
    I just found this thread, and hope you'll keep posting your results.
    As far as presenting your method, just start with what time your charts begin/end (7:30EST to 3:15EST?), how you set your MA's, etc...and the rest will just flow.
    Great job!
    Please continue.

  5. Perhaps you might be willing to walk through your chart a bit? There's a lot going on and maybe you could share a few insights as to what everything is.
    You are one of the few people I've seen that have market profile, so I'm a bit curious on how that is used.

    I'm interested too.

    Personally I don't like scalping, it's just too frantic for me. So even though I won't be trying to duplicate what you're doing, (despite your eye-popping results) I'm still always interested in trading methods that others are having success with.

    Plus, I've always questioned whether frequent scalping was even feasible for a retail trader. I figured that sort of thing was for pros who have access to very low commission rates. That's another reason why I avoid it. But would be interested in anything you want to share.

    Yeah, I'd love to hear more. Since I just use pure price action and technical analysis I find the DOM trading interesting as I have no idea how to do it. Do you just have a time and sales window running or is it just an indicator you plug it into? And what do you look for with Time and Sales? Hope you keep posting.

    If this journal is for real, then I suggest you read thru lescor's journal about his trading and letting people ask questions about what you are doing and why so that they can learn:

    http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=187730

    If the intention of this thread was to enlighten and educate, then I am sure it will be welcomed if you continue to post your thoughts and trades so that others can see it is possible to so SOMETHING with their trading.
