oh that is true!
i never thought about Brexit
i stay away from the news for the most part but thats actually relevant!
i took a peak on my phone at todays US cash open tho
and that open drive was fkn INSANE
the guys who were agressive on the lows today are probably happy about that
when it comes down to live trading i really liked that trading room vibe that es/pip brought here
i think im mainly scapling so its little harder sometimes to be 100% live
during my few years of prop trading i got used to trading live with people ---- although its very hard at the beginning
i think its fun
and sometimes you eat your own arse infront of whole bunch of people, of course!
not certainly the best feeling in the world
but i think it's healthy!
keeps you motivated to improve
and as long as everyones honest you can see some of your own demons in other people
and sometimes you just fade the c*nt that's losing like 85% of the time lol
i get the order flow mainly from the depth of market
i also have time&sales open in case i miss something significant
people like to filter the 1 lot transactions out but i dont do that
there is much more info to process but its important
DOM is everything tho
you can open footprint, volume profile etc. but that's the same information presented differently
i guess it's like different types of charts or indicators ---- not bad, just depends on what makes the most sense to you
sorry for that longass post
i couldve just said:
- brexit interesting
- live trading good
- depth of market and t&s
i presented that data differntly
im like a shtty indicator haha
