DOM games

Recommended Posts

Here's an old thread on ET that some might be interested in. Take a look at Cazza La Randa's post on page 266. Link: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76297&perpage=6&highlight=using%20dom&pagenumber=266

 

I need pictures and this makes sense to me. This would be much easier on the YM or ER2 DOM's though in my opinion. The ES is so thick that I'm not sure how many you would want to see at a level to consider it big. Seeing 600+ at ONE level on the ER2 (see ET thread) stands out big time.

 

I would be interested to see this is action in real-time. I've yet to find anything that explains it in real-time. Right now curiosity has the best of me. The only thing I have found from a different thread on ET, is mention of http://www.viperspeedtrader.com/. I have no desire to dive into a brand new thing, but for anyone interested, there's some stuff out there.

 

I have never used viperspeedtrader.com, so please do your own due diligence before purchasing anything.

Its interesting they mention Ninja on that site. I've been poking around with the demo and it really seems like it will become a powerhouse in the future. For programming they have just extended C# for trading so you have all the C# learning resources available to learn. It said on the forum they will be opening up access to the super DOM, once that happens Ninja would seem like the logical choice for this kind of analysis. Certainly would be much easier than neoticker or that crazy guy in the elite thread that rolled his own with open source java charts.

Allow me to play devil's advocate with myself - I would also suggest that with the amount of games being played on the DOM, you do the OPPOSITE of what the dom is 'telling' you.

 

Again, just an idea here, so do your own homework. It just seems in the limited times that I've noticed the bids or asks heavily outweighing each other that price will move AWAY from these potential large bids/asks. Part of the reason is that many of them end up getting pulled before any possible realization of being filled.

 

So think about it... if you had the ability to trade large amounts of contracts and could play these little games, you could easily manipulate how people read and react to them by putting on and pulling your offers quickly.

 

One reason why I like this idea over trying to read the real bids/asks vs. fakes is that more often than not, when you are going off the dom and with the large bids/asks, you are going against the short term trend. Doing the opposite of these puts you in with the current intermediate trend some of the time.

 

Just some food for thought. ;)

Here is what I do on EuroStoxx to find out if there are good or fake BIDs/ASKs on depth I use Depth with Tape. I take in consideration only inside quote, I don't pay much attention beyond them, or already proved good BID/ASK a few minutes ago if the price is continue to stay in short-term box (usually 2-5 ticks on Stoxx). Lets say we want to see if it is a good 1000 bids at particular price, if there is big selling pressure (many sales with good volume) on this price, but bids are still there, didnt decrease dramatically in size, the people add new bids in place of already filled, the bids are real, and they support market very well (the tape is all red but we move nowhere) and the price could go upward a little after this, usually it takes several times to get through these bids. Fake Bid or Ask dont show up on inside quote if the pressure is in their way.

Can somebody explain with clarity why does price gravitate towards size and does this unfold on a consistent basis, if so than surely it is the making of a holy grail;)

It does not gravitate towards a big BID/ASK. Ive seen just as many times it run away from a big BID/ASK. Its not that easy.

Have you noticed, tho, that when there is a huge amount of offer-side pressure in the dom that often times it's taken out and then price ramps up? That just happened....must've been 15k cars sitting in the top 4 slots on the offer and then they vanished. Price was at 51.25 and right when those all vanished price jumped to 52.50 within 2 minutes. Now, it's not a HUUUUGE jump in price, but still, 5 ticks can make ya some ka-ching.

 

Thats what I mean exactly. Pulled.

Well, there we go - for 40 bucks you can master the DOM from a guy that claims he's selling the same system that pro's use.

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
