It has been awhile since I posted on this thread. I wanted to show a snap of the Crude Oil June-14 contract for last Friday. Trying to optimize my setups for maximum performance and I thought we are getting pretty close. The European session at times moves pretty well but other times just dogs along. Generally there is lots of time to enter the trade - PATIENCE is paramount in waiting for the proper setup. The setups I show all give you a 10 tick return almost 100% of the time. For scalpers just take the first 5 or whatever you are comfortable with. Running more than 1 contract can garner some handsome profits. I still feel this is "Casino Royale" but the opportunities are immense. 2014-05-03_0912 - slick60's library Good trading everyone slick60

A snap today showing several trade set-ups in the overnight and early morning hours of Oct 29/13. Note how the order flow chart compliments my indicator set-ups and vice versa. Following order flow on OFA is simplified once you have a basic understanding of it. There is all kinds of instruction available in recorded webinars on the OFA site available to anyone all the time. The FREE version of the software is available and support forum to go with it. If you have any interest in order flow "Go get it". costs nothing. I want to add that I have absolutely nothing to do with OFA except that I bought the paid version and just highly recommend it. Here is the link for the OFA OFA/FREE 2013-10-29_0544 - slick60's library slick60

James may I suggest you go into the OFA FREE website and download the order flow software that is shown in my attached snap. This is the paid version but the FREE will give you most of what you see here. CL is just great today not blowing itself out of the water and going crazy. It is days like today one can really capitalize. Me - I am outside working on a deck/patio that has to get done before winter. Here is a snap with a few trade set-ups marrying my indicator software with the OFA. http://content.screencast.com/users/slick60/folders/Jing/media/2622d778-248b-4c0a-b4c4-850634bac55b/2013-10-28_1212.png good trading folks slick60

Hi James You are right - 'dead thread' - this is why I abandoned it back in February this year. Lack of interest and input. I thought I would try a couple posts to see if we can generate some interest especially with the OFA software. Order flow is the way to go but nobody was able or willing to help me to try and understand it. The OFA does that. Crude is like going to Monte Carlo and if one can master it with a reasonable trade strategy it offers up a pot of gold each day. I follow it but have spent more time on the 6E and EURUSD. Now with the OFA I will pay more attention to it and try to harness its' speed. A low was due on the day of the 24th and it did not disappoint with the double bottom. We will now uptrend for a short while and you may be right with the 100 area. How do you follow this instrument. Do you have any snaps? slick Marked up a CL chart to show a couple trades showing my normal entry and the paid version of OFA http://screencast.com/t/NMGAQ1pVVBY

I recently found OFA FREE and here is a snap of it showing a trade coupled with my standard PLT indicator on the right. This is the free version of OFA software which shows order flow in a bit different manner than all the other ladders. It is great. I bought the paid version and full suite of plug-ins with it but have not had a chance to use it. This is going to be some pretty exciting times with OFA in the near future. Anyone interested in order flow I highly recommend going to the OFA FREE site and downloading the program. Working software FREE forever and very meaningful. 2013-10-14_0819 - slick60's library http://content.screencast.com/users/slick60/folders/Jing/media/c0030d42-dd4b-4374-ac87-5c83c6a59347/2013-10-12_1309.png slick60

Maybe it is time to re-open this thread with new information about Order Flow Analytics. They, through Ninja Trader had a good offering of their software last week until actually today. Complete framework and plug-ins for $1,675.00. This is the Ninja link good till today Order Flow Analytics -- A NinjaTrader ?Trade Like A Pro? Special Event I have been using the FREE version for several months now and purchased the paid version this week. For me it probably will be the end of the line for searching for the "Holy Grail" of trading. Coupling it with what I do is very very interesting. I am sorry to say that I cannot comment on how successful I have been with the paid version as I have not had time to use it. I would like to steer you to OFA site and recommend you download the FREE version and get involved OFA/FREE DB is a man of integrity and not a hustler. But then, we all have our own opinions. Order flow to me was confusing at best and nobody could or would assist me to what I should be looking for. OFA has clarified this. I kid you not - go get the FREE version and use it. You will not regret it. I will post a couple snaps of how I couple OFA with my traditional indicator set-ups This 6E below is one random shot using the FREE version 2013-10-10_2013 - slick60's library Here is a snap of CL showing a couple trade entries. I use several indicators for entry signals 2013-10-12_1309 - slick60's library I am sorry I have been busy building a deck/patio for the last few weeks and did not have time to post before now. If you are interested in "order flow" please go watch a couple videos on the sites I noted and you may catch yourself a good deal on the software. Outside of that load the FREE version. Hope this may help some traders. It is all I try to do like a dummy. Help. slick60 PS - in all my years of trading this is only the 2nd time that I have purchased software for trading.

:crap: I apologize for posting the same DX snap as previous. Did not check my post. Oil should still be going south into mid April if it is to follow the DX somewhat. This morning's snap of DX. http://content.screencast.com/users/slick60/folders/Jing/media/53ca8502-150b-4b05-8cc0-d4a5d28764d1/2013-02-26_0440.png If any of you lurkers trade oil out there - go get em! slick60

What happens if there is a split in power? slick60

I have a birthday today. As I get older obviously I am not get wiser as I have not been able to grasp the upside down economic theory of supply and demand at this point. I believed that as the dollar gained in value that crude oil would sell for less - especially when the government or whoever reports an abundant surplus on hand. Does not seem to be the case. Translate that to the money dump trucks of the oil companies and government taxation at the gas pump and it reminds you to bring your jar of Vaseline with you for your next fill-up. It appears that the DX is not done with the move north yet. So, we should expect lower prices in oil perhaps back down toward that 87.50 level. daily DX http://content.screencast.com/users/slick60/folders/Jing/media/5c152c03-4465-4294-a56f-1153542149d0/2013-02-14_1518.png slick60 P.S. By the way nobody has been willing to assist me with my request above! " Really sucks."

Using a Delta solution for direction at present tells me that this market is still going lower. Also the way the DX is set up it appears that it is going higher (posted above). The daily chart shows me that we should be coming into a low during the 1st week of March. It would not surprise me to see this low come in late around the end of the week where the MTD low is due. In a down market these points tend to come late-keep that in mind. I also feel that will be an interim low to this correction and a more meaningful low will come in about mid April. Let's see where it bottoms and what sets up at those times. daily chart http://content.screencast.com/users/slick60/folders/Jing/media/f86c6224-24b6-445f-a3f3-2df746427bc2/2013-02-23_0803.png slick60

A quick post to update the DX chart which may give a clue as to where is the euro going. It goes the opposite way. Sometimes it is easier to see the euro by looking through the eyes of the DX. daily http://content.screencast.com/users/slick60/folders/Jing/media/7ef8e796-ebe5-4336-963d-a6d9e8ff794c/2013-02-22_0517.png The black text on this chart is the price of Crude Oil at noted locations.

On the weekly chart note we are showing larger time cycles which become more meaningful to longer direction. Take care traders. slick60

Two charts below, daily and 4 hr. Note the possibilities for a deeper correction to take place on the daily chart. We hit our two levels I mentioned earlier. The 1.3314 appears to me to be an irregular correction or a 'b' wave flat in the making as the second leg of the move down from the highs. At present I am looking at the ITD 6 high coming due very soon and perhaps a retrace as shown on the 4 hr chart to the .618 retrace level around 1.3575 hesitation zone. From there we may go deeper seeking out the larger red MTD cycle low due on average in March. daily http://content.screencast.com/users/slick60/folders/Jing/media/007e1f92-3971-4a0b-bbb6-226657ff3aeb/2013-02-14_1532.png 4hr http://content.screencast.com/users/slick60/folders/Jing/media/8057c49b-cfb3-48e0-9815-131ef46e3dc9/2013-02-14_1532.png You gotta be making some pips from this shit traders. Good luck. slick60

The FIX is in!! Hmmmmmmmmmm. Note black Oil prices on this dollar index chart. Snap of the DX below. Take a look at the correlation between high oil and low dollar and vice versa. High dollar means lower oil. I see a manipulation to create dollar demand at present to maintain the U.S. dollar Empire. It will eventually fail and I think soon. For those that use correlation to trade an instrument I feel you are playing with fire. To me - yes it works sometimes BUT what about now. Do we have markets out of whack? Comments encouraged.

Which way will we go? That is the big question. If someone has the answer or idea please post here. I know the lurking market maker who reads this will not. By merging the January and February profiles I find that the High Volume Node has moved up to the 97.50 area which is telling me there is acceptance at the higher level at present.That also says to me that we may be vulnerable for a shot up above the 98.00 level to the 100.00 major quarter in the near future. It appears that they are building stop zones on either side of 98.00 and 95.00. When the developing bell curve is complete price will take off in a new step one. Watch for the volume push as it gets near the high or low of the range after direction has been decided. Volume will increase going through. It will become a "go with" trade as enough stops and break out traders will have positioned orders to do the market makers work for him. composite profile http://content.screencast.com/users/slick60/folders/Jing/media/86651e27-bd36-4b80-a5ab-e4e9040b5da2/2013-02-14_1447.png Remember that you are only a part of the market makers' business plan and he don't give a hoot for you. Trade carefully. slick60

Hi mkw111, I don't see anything in my Skype. No new attempts from anyone to contact me. slick

This is a quick post showing a market profile split. 15 minute bars. Note the skinny volume out of a range today into the highs. This is a 6E futures chart and the volumes I get are on Ninja Trader. Note the lack of volume quickly shoving price north and then culminating on the high period with much more volume for the final push. See where price closes in relation to the high, open and high volume. This is a shot across the bow following the skinny non participating push north. The 2 min bar at 7:48 am had 14,394 contracts traded. By splitting your profile you can see this take place. Get to know what you are looking for.

From my last post I want to show a few charts. The 4 hr as it came down in one more wave and appears to have ended for the time being at the 1.3359 level that I pointed out. On the daily chart a low ITD 5 point was due on average with this drop. Now we are retracing into the ITD 6 as a high point. I want to update the daily DX chart also here for you to compare what the opposite half of EUR USD is doing. Generally when one goes up the other goes down. The DX at present looks a little ominous to me to continue higher into a red MTD 9 high however it can also tank just as quickly. Remember that the market makers will give you the opposite perception of where the market is really going to go. If not everyone would be wealthy. We need to ride with these forces-not against. 4hr http://content.screencast.com/users/slick60/folders/Jing/media/ae0996fb-e3e5-4221-86bb-37ec9baabb3c/2013-02-13_1719.png daily eurusd http://content.screencast.com/users/slick60/folders/Jing/media/c713745b-ae7c-4bb3-b75f-fd5afc2ec116/2013-02-13_1720.png daily DX http://content.screencast.com/users/slick60/folders/Jing/media/84578ea5-46de-466d-bfaa-ce17c1183f2f/2013-02-13_1721.png Note how nicely the DX moves with my euro delta solution. Good trading to you all. slick60

Visual references have been hit. At present absorption still taking place above the 97.25 stop zone that is being set up. Should get a run back to the 96.75 level with a quick break of the 97.25 area. Any high fibo retrace of the move down from the high into a double top this morning or new daily high will be a HIGH PROBABILITY set up for a short trade. She is over cooked but may be done. Happy trading folks slick60

The composite market profile shows a balance still taking place between the 95.00 and 97.50 large quarters. We will have to see where the break will take place. The 97.45 this morning had minus development associated with it. The hourly is due for a high any time now and the 4 hour is over extended for a high to be in. By 10:00am if not sooner I suspect this will be resolved. Upside targets reside at session POC from Feb 3-4 at 97.60 Naked POC from RTH Feb 1 at 97.66 together with the HVN at 97.69. These are in striking distance and reversal possibilities with the time targets being pushed at present. Watch for your signals for reversal.

Appears cycles are up for today into or after the close. Hourly spring and 4 hour spring being worked on into 10 am est. Nice overnight set-ups slick60

Hi Patuca I do have a leading indicator better than any - it is called TIME. I agree with you about volume. I use a 2 minute chart with volume in conjunction with my other charts to pick out the market makers footprints signalling where we are in a move. I also use a market profile. How quickly you can take your money to the bank is not lagging - lol. We have been brain washed about all these indicators based on past price action and that they DON'T WORK! I say Bullshit - look at the charts. Who cares if they lag! slcik60

Hi Nikorivera. Thanks for pointing out the thread. Went to the url in the wyckoff forum and read two threads on oil. Pure price action and all the "why's" in the world to be solved. Unless you are the market maker, bank et al with all the money to move the market who cares? There are far too many traders/analysts who think they know what the economists know. Nothing! I know that taking the MUNDANE LAGGING INDICATORS that everyone scoffs at and I show on my charts give signals to make a hundred bucks or more at a pop. I will be the first to say that marking up a static chart as you see in my post is very easy and that catching these signals in real time is often quite challenging. If you look at my charts, note the logic where the trades are shown. They are all taken on close of bar. I have shown a range chart. Guess what? I know where my entry is going to be before price gets there. When it does and as price moves I get filled. Now what is the percentage of winning trades in the day? EXTREMELY HIGH! I am very well studied in Elliott Wave; Delta Phenomenon/Market Matrix; Volume Spread Analysis; Quarters Theory; Market Maker Theory; Fibonacci; Market Profile and sat in Gary Fullet's Wyckoff room for about a year looking at upthrusts, springs, creeks etc . Print is terrible cause one never really knows what is being said. Everyone has their own opinion as they read and try to go between the lines. There is nothing like voice to understand what is being said and how it is being said. I would like all these learned money making traders in these forums to open a trading room and share their strategies if they care. Oil moves too fast as do most markets to post entry and exit signals in these threads. I am trying to help people to make a few bucks and not get burned. Is there anyone who will do the same for me? Perhaps together! slick60

I am looking for some traders to work together in a "FREE" trading room basically scalping the CL and 6E. Those are my 2 main instruments. I also follow gold and have ES charts. Follow my charts. I am finding it a bit difficult to catch all the signals for trade entries and feel working together I will probably be more focused. I am posting a chart again today of March CL and purely mechanical signals on close that travel 10 ticks or more. That is $100.00 per trade and to me a few of those in a session would not be too shabby. The trades are there every day that I have been following. If you have Ninja Trader I would be happy to set you up with charts like you see in the snap. If you have something that works as good or BETTER I will join you in your trading room. I made this invitation in the forex forum with no response. It is beyond me why people are not wanting to work together. I have a shit load of information to apply to these markets. There is no cost. Maybe "FREE" / TOGETHER etc. does not appeal. I do not have B.O.!
