Trading with Market Profile

Recommended Posts

Hi !

 

I am starting this journal because I am having a Hard Time in Trading! I am not being able to trade in a Systematic Manner. I have got a lot of ideas but they are scattered all over the place! I hope that starting this journal will force me to write down my Exact Trading Rules very clearly and follow them during real time market hours. I will be able to develop a step by step trading game plan with clear rules / guidelines, so that I do not get confused during real time trading action "which happens a lot currently with me". This journal will make me more responsible, accountable and honest with myself.

 

I am in the markets for the past 3-4 years. I have gone through a lot of study material in the form of books, Internet articles, trading forum material etc. I have found that Market Profile concepts based trading makes the most sense to me. But the biggest difficulty and the biggest edge with market profile is that it cannot be blindly automated in terms of 100 % mechanical rules “which is possible with many other kind of trading concepts".

 

I think one really needs to understand the Auction that is going on in that trading instrument, in order to use the MP concepts in trading. The questions like -

What is driving the market currently?

What is the state of the market?

What is the attempted direction?

Is the market facilitating the trade in that direction?

Which time frame players are in control?

What are the important Reference Points within which the current auction is going on ?

etc.

 

All these things form the Context / Background / Larger Picture, for that trading instrument. And all the buy sell decisions are very dependent on the Context.

I use NeoTicker and Market Delta as my main trading platform and Esignal as data feed.

 

I am not at all sure how long will I be able to update this journal, because I have a habit of procrastination and I try my best to find some reasons in order to avoid the work that I really needs to do ! This is part of my current behavior which is having a very severe negative impact on my life. But still, I would definitely try to write at least 1 post a day for the next few days. Let us see how it goes

 

Any kind of comments or feedback is most welcome. Please feel free to ask or say anything you wish.

 

Regards :)

You say that you have read a lot of material and studied market profile. The questions you are asking here should have been answered in your studies. I do not know what you have read. For sure anybody in MP has read Dalton's 2 books, Mind over Markets and Markets in Profile. Google Peter Steidlmayer and Robin Mesch for material. They will give you a more definitive spin on MP than Jim Dalton.

Hope this helps

    • 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!
