Day Trading the E-mini Futures with Predictor

Recommended Posts

One of the tricks liquidity providers will use to make it appear there is activity is pull bids and offers slightly off market to attract trade... often we get a little move higher and then a drive lower

Today rare day where I exceeded my profit target and swung to a loss. The market really changed when we retested 14.25. The herd got short into a larger traders replenishing bid. Still at that time, I was doing quite well. I think one of my anticipations was that a lot of inventory was taken out at 13 and the the dominant trader was still short biased. I notice I have to be very careful when crowd catches on because they usually muck things up.

 

Still the problem was at end of day, I got a bit greedy and was a bit slow footed. I always tell the (few traders) I've trained to be ready to act in worst situation to prevent it from getting even worse. Its usually a warning when I can't get my limits filled on multiple retests.

Many HFT bots in futures are programmed to market in orders in front of order book imbalances. At times, this can make it difficult to get a limit order order filled. I can see this very easily using AlphaReveal. However, the larger speculators will tend to get their limits filled eventually as they are a stronger hands player.

Below order book imbalances often rest stops which helps the market to trend a bit.. Some people talk about liquidity but they don't stop to think who is providing liquidity to shorts or longs? These HFT bots go to market in front of these imbalances preventing slower traders from getting their limits filled and then they dump into them when they are able to detect the market shifting.

 

At any rate... good day and done for day. Some buying coming in at this 17ish level

Wrong on that one... difficult day today started off well.. ended poorly

I'm thinking that the liquidity providers may start pull from market if this slide continues... HFT bots don't have anyone else to lean on

    • 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. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
