Ant, what do you think about Alexander Trading?

Recommended Posts

would you recommend it also to people who already read all available literature on Market Profile ?

 

Yes, I do. Of all the books this is the only one I'll probably go back to. I also like Ray Barros' MP ideas but his DVD is $3200!

BTW, I don't own the DVD. I'm just going by what he has taught on his blog.

In what way, do you think Alexander book is good ? Does it provide detail on how to enter and exit the trade ?

Thanks

Hi Nic, I assume you have read both of Dalton's work correct? Do you like Alexander that much more? Sorry if it's a silly question. I am just trying to find out in more detail what you like about it, that's all. I am just attempting to learn and blend MP with Wyckoff and general price volume analysis. BTW you and Db are doing a great job on that thread. Good trading to all.

Hi Dan,

 

Thanks for the feedback.

 

Half of Alexander's book is a concise, quick review of MP.

 

He focuses on "Key Reference Areas (KRA) that are inflection points of specific areas where we need to be making decisions about trade opportunity."

 

KRAs are:

  • Range extremes (this can be the day's high/low, a previous day's high/low, or the high/low of the range of a composite
  • High volume nodes
  • Single prints and/or high volume rotations
  • Buying and Selling "tails"
  • The Value Area High
  • The Value Area Low

 

"Here are a few other points we learned from the previous examples that apply as we develop our trade Strategy:

 

The best trades occur at the extremes:

  • Near the extreme of a wide Initial Balance Area
  • Near the extreme of the 10-day ATR
  • Near the extreme of the previoius day's high or low
  • Near the extremes of a composite profile (balance area)
  • Near the extreme of a wide Initial Balance Period
  • Near a time extreme - first 30m or 60m IBP

 

The book is short and to the point and will be easy to go back to and find the strategies and tactics. I really like his use of high volume nodes and 3-5 day composite profiles.

    • 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.
