What Markets Can Be Traded with MP?

Recommended Posts

I am currently studying MP...and have read the CBOT MP manual and Mind over Markets. I understand how and why MP works.

 

Besides the standard futures markets...ES, YM, and ER, does anyone trade with MP in other markets??

 

I think MP is a worthy asset and I am trying to impliment this into my trading. Although, I'm not convinced that the ES, YM, or ER is the best fit for MP?

 

Trading with MP in a more direct market, ie., soybeans, gold, etc.. seem to be more geared toward the whole auction process?

 

A person can make money in any market. For example, a 5 point movement in the ES equals a 50 point movement in the YM. 5 points in the ES is worth $250. 50 points in the YM is worth $250. It's all relavent.

 

Trading soybeans, gold, coffee, t-bills, or whatever, would also be relavent.

 

Im just trying to get some feedback on different ideas using MP.

I believe alleyb posted a good reply to this question somewhere. Basically MP can be used with any market. Though you may find some markets that work better than the other. For example, I dont use MP methodologies on the Nikkei due to the huge gaps. This market is more of a scalp a few ticks type market. On the other hand, I use MP to spot levels and to determine where price is relative to value.... whether price is wanting to move out of value, whether price is being rejected above/below value, etc... for the Japanese Government Bonds.

Do you happen to know if the Japanese Governement Bonds trade similar to the 10 year T-note?

 

I've been trying to follow the T-note and it seems to agree with the MP.

 

Any help from anyone out there would be appreciated.

Not sure what you mean by similar... the JGB is relatively thin with bid/ask usually less than 20 lots. When the markets move fast, you can expect people to withdraw their bid/ask... it will usually catch you off guard and cause some slippage. Yesterday, my fill slipped a few ticks as I was trying to lean on a heavy bid... instead they pulled away causing price to drop 10 ticks or so instantly. Also note that 1 tick on JGB is roughly $100. So pretty big contract here.

 

But heres a very good snapshot of a composite profile on the JGB: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/6/mp-trading-with-market-profile-3135-19.html#post40353

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
