Is the market facilitating trade here? The picture tells it all but I keep evaluating every time a candle closes.<br />The first thing Kiki was taught was to ask herself the similar question: what is the market trying to do and WHERE is price in the CONTEXT that we are trading.<br /><br />Seeing the order flow in the MP context is THE thing for us. You can still make mistakes and not lose money if you understand the context.<br /><br />Anonymous, I would start with Dalton's MIND OVER MARKETS. The difficulty is that none of the books really teach you how to trade using Market Profile in your timeframe. This was the problem for me when I learned about MP: how to use it to make money. My webinar might help after you learn the basics.Electronic Localhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539999419310383613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847353783015972405.post-7146211319314996382009-12-31T06:42:14.473+00:002009-12-31T06:42:14.473+00:00Thanks for the great article and everything Tom.

I've learned a lot from the info. I'm in a similar spot as your daughter, Tired of working for a big corporation and dealing with all the butt kissing to make others rich, I learned my lesson quick as I'm only 20 yrs old. I have spent the last year trading equities/options with only limited success. I have been sim trading futures for the past month or 2 and I find it fits my strengths better. Now for my real question. I am making a indicator similar to your CVD smoothed indicator you have, and I was curious what the period is that you have it set for? Currently I am using a 14 period triangular MA.

I've been trading futures full time for a year....still trying to refine my process. Thanks again for your insights. I wasted a lot of time before I knew that much about profile. Hopefully - year 2 will be profitable.Dave Spurrhttp://displacedema.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847353783015972405.post-32324797670149919412009-12-30T20:08:19.141+00:002009-12-30T20:08:19.141+00:00Hello Boss,

Do you ask yourself questions? Are you at the point were <br />you do not have to think and just react based on concept recognition? <br /><br />When you and Kiki sat down for the first time, what was the first conversation you had? <br /><br />Since you are a teacher is there homework assignments?<br /><br />Your groupie,<br /><br />RinoSeverinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279332888959190709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847353783015972405.post-57879061535487708332009-12-30T20:01:54.399+00:002009-12-30T20:01:54.399+00:00I use Investor RT (Market Delta without the Footpr...I use Investor RT (Market Delta without the Footprint charts) and found a way to adjust the CDV indicator you use to make it identical to what you had before you made the switch. If you'd like to change it, keep all of your settings the same except under the Volume Breakdown indicator change the "Draw As" from a histogram to "Line, Two Color (U/D)". This changes the indicator from the candles to a line that changes between colors as it slopes up and down. It's much easier to read the smoothed direction of the order flow this way in my opinion.AaronPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00645120208169120366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847353783015972405.post-20279917767842693342009-12-30T16:51:07.740+00:002009-12-30T16:51:07.740+00:00That's a LOT of experience!
