sellers liquidity abusion

a video of one of my trades, two contracts only. i was trading somewhere outside in a park with a poor internet connection. not the best setup

dumb sellers vs. smart sellers

here are two example of sell market volume cluster.

in the first case, market orders reveal huge sell market orders and the price move against it. in the second case, it doesn't reveal any aggressive sell market orders.

this is the footprint chart 

this is how it happened

this might be one of the way how to discriminate between aggressive and tender approach through wmo and out filter some falls signals and infilter some missed opportunities. not necessarily always huge cluster in my way is a negative signal for entry. but it needs more in-depth study of this phenomena

dow jones hit 20000 points

for the first time ever, dow jones has hit the level of 20000 today. but, who cares? i don't, i traded nasdaq futures today when dow jones, sp500 and emd were undervalued.

nasdaq hit its high and i took a breakout

the reason is quite clear from this view. i opened 2 instead of 3 - the risk area was near and i was ready to compensate.
