Learning the S&P 500 Squawk Speak
Learning the S&P 500 Squawk Speak service from TradersAudio for trading the emini futures


In the past I was not able to put much effort to learn Squawk. My initial attempt into this got overcome by spectical opinions & I also was not able to find enough material to learn than.
Now that I have a home-office and trading almost full time I think I have the environment to give it a sincere go. I also am more savvy to the market terms & use market internals data everyday in my trading.

My first task is to just learn to decipher the important quotes from the continuous price auction commentary and also when the auction prices itself matters with the noise. And than some hands on experience and investigae if it provides any edge to my intraday trading.


My Starting Point
I have sincerely been adviced to start at the FAQ section of TradersAudio website http://www.tradersaudio.com/faq.html

I am going through them now. If you have any more links, seminars or recorded videos please do post here.

I hope others would join in & help. And those who are making successful use of this service would contribute towards our learning experience

Many Thanks
Minoo

Re: Learning the S&P 500 Squawk Speak
Squawk Terms used during broadcast

Found this Doc while Googling for help on the Squawk-Speak

This Doc was quite useful in its concise explanation of Terms and some Phrases

I am not sure about the '007' dealer though, if he still exist in the S&P ?? (Perhaps in the Bond Pit ):

Here is the website doc link: http://daytradingthecourse.com/spnotes.doc

I have exported the same as PDF here

Enjoy Minoo

Don't know how useful this is (the fact that I don't trade the S&Ps not withstanding LOL), but I do get a kick out of listening the these examples. Thanks all.

Re: Learning the S&P 500 Squawk Speak
Market Profile perspective with Squawk
A joint Webinar by Alexander Trading & TradersAudio
Mentors: Tom A & Ben L
Duration: 35 minutes approx

http://snipurl.com/jwml9
(or open the above URL in Windows Media Player, use save-as from file menu for future reference)

Some of the important topics to note in this video are:
Where not to trade & how to postition oneself for the opprotunity; Where is better R/R ratio to trade from; Which areas to use Indicators from, Inflection point and order flow perspective from the pit.
Also Market Internals such as Volume, Ticks, Price-Vol & Breath Divergence, usage. Stats & Propensity of market in the first 60 - 90 minutes, In between single print test / retrace with Squawk & Market Internals usage

The various posted materials in this thread has given me a good starting point with the Squawk. Many Thanks to everyone who have so far provided me with excellent links, insights and encouragement, This only keeps getting better.

Next I would like to discuss chart setup to use for practising with the Squawk & also How to use the energy of the Squawk to somewhat nuetralise the emotions with follow-through mental routine
