I was just trying to reach a consensus for us to move forward. If you know better just tell us. You are not my teacher to be asking me to define this or that. Go ask Mr google or your dictionary. If you include all the intraday traders, the other (higher) time frame traders remain. Tell me their use of the DOM?

Let's wrap things up in search of THE TRUTH some where between all the opinions here : 1- provided you know how to read it, the DOM is a must for ultra short time scalpers 2- swing and long term traders can completely ignore the DOM and trade successfully on TA + indicators.

I know market and volume profiles, but profiling in the Dom is new to me. Please explain.

FWW "Gold Prices Are Being Manipulated and Here's What To Do About It By Keith Fitz-Gerald,Chief Investment Strategist The latest from Keith Fitz-Gerald If you've ever suspected gold prices are being manipulated, you're not alone--and you're right, they are.

Today, I want to talk to you about who "they" are and share a few tricks you can use to capitalize on their momentum without being taken to the poorhouse. Here's how to play the game to win..."

So you took the $49 initiation course and a seminar with him, I guess. How long did it take after that for you to be able to see and act from the Dom ?

Wow! what a man- thread !

Can you elaborate a bit in which way?

Absolutely. Would be difficult to read it this clear directly on the DOM.

I say hotep brother !

Okay, will search your material. Thanks

I totally agree that the Dom might be of great help when scalping. Just need some couple of basic rules but all I hear is spend time watching. What do I look for? How long does it take to know if the thong is for me?

What about the guy who displays the 200 order just to lure you into the trade and then pulls his order before hitting you and go beyond? Or the robot that splits a 1000 order in 100 parts, that go unnoticed to many? This is real world DOM.

If you need more confirmation before taking the trade, then the more ticks the better. If you want in earlier, then 1t chart best.

So, it is a trade off between accuracy and timeliness.

I was the first to call for a cease fire here. Now, I don't see what was promoted on this very thread.

I think I hear you, but I do believe the probabilities of 2 1000 tick bars being followed by 1 1000t bar are greater and are more significant than those of 2 upticks being followed a another tick up.

Problem aggravated, imho. Why hide? If he is doing some thing wrong, then the mods should intervene and sanction him accordingly. Otherwise he deserves the treatment of all accepted TL members who abide the the forum rules.

Master's advice as always with the Phoenix . Please correct me. Why price moves? because buyers and sellers don't agree on the price at a level, so it has to move from that level till the one where the actors agree and a deal is made. Now I don't understand how a 1 tick move can be representative of where price is headed. I have watched it some times and find them to be too choppy, more than a 1 min chart, which I find difficult to trade on, even when scalping.

Thank you. Must do my home work.

What is a faster chart? a slower chart? Take for instance GC or 6E to illustrate. Thanks

All this flow of compliments don't tell me how to better trade futures. May we re read the title of the thread.

Hi 4everMaat, is the Maat in your screen name related to Egypt in some way?

Thanks Roger. Now, what is the main advantage you find in tick charts over time charts?

Unearthing a dino here Still a margin between 22 and 223! Just for one product. There must be a general rule (of thumb?) for how to set tick chart.

Roger, what is the optimal nomber of ticks for intraday charts? or does it depend on what object you are trading ?
