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
