Using Volume from 3 perspectives - Average trade size, Time & Range.
I am planning to use Jigsaw and GOM to trade ES.
I previously traded with mainly Price Indicators and Better volume/ ProAM with limited sucess. I relate more to volume changes rather than price changes and hence going to try Jigsaw and DOM with added GOM ladder.
My plan is to trade only one hour a day, before my work from 9.45 to 10.45 AM and take a maximum of 4 trades. May start with 1 lot first and then 2 lots which will help me implement Mack's PAT model.
My goal is make 12 ticks a day with a max loss of 16 ticks. I will start with SIM trade for a week as new to Ninja platform but aiming to go live asap after that.
My style is to fade but too often try to fade trends rather than ranges and hence got burnt in the past. Trading pullbacks have been the most profitable but doesn't fit my 'hero' psychology. I will soon change my style of trading or thinking.
Edit - August 25 2015
5 months after I started this journal, my charts are almost unrecognizable! I moved on from Ninja to Investor RT and no longer use GOMI or Jigsaw. However, they provided good platform and improved my understanding of price and volume action.
