Just realized that it has been over a year of sticking to scalping as taught by Grady. It hasn't been easy, but it has been worth it. After one year, I'm starting to transition to doing this intuitively. What FT71 would call unconscious competence.
John now has a prep and recap service. details are on his site. He basically sends out an early email with S&R levels he's watching for, his take on overnight action & his pre-market expectations. He then sends an update after the market has revealed its flavor for the day. Lastly, there is a post-market analysis of the days action and levels along with what it might mean going into the next day. I've found it very helpful.
For your time zone the best is to trade the Eurex products, bund and eurostoxx. I did it for six months and had excellent results. In fact I like how the bund moves better than the bonds or notes. Another plus in the round turn pricing is better (at least it was when I was trading it). The only reason I stopped is because I'm in the EST and the hours were killing me.
On days that I work, I record my screen all day. When I get home, I cut it to 3 hours and render the video to 1080. I put the files on my ipad and watch the recording on the bus to and from site (about 1/2 hour each way). This has maximized my time use (normally dead time where I'm check twitter or FB or some shit) and has made me stop looking at charts, and only looking at the DOM.
It has not yet translated into me making great $$ yet, as I have been working more than anticipated. But overall, on the days I've traded my average is positive. Still working on it and getting there slowly.
I have Camtasia 9. Not terribly expensive. Works well and the new version lets you do voiceover after recording. Used it a couple times to show other people things on the DOM like stacking and pulling.
I purchased a recording of John's webinar a few months ago and am long overdue for a review. If you're serious about learning to read order flow via the DOM, then this is a great way to go. I cannot recommend it enough.
I've been dabbling in trading for coming up on four years. I have dedicated my full attention to learning to trade for a living since the beginning of this year and had learned a lot, but had yet to get consistently profitable. I was on the fence about No BS but after going through the beginner and intermediate courses, I took the plunge and shelled out the money for the webinar and it was absolutely worth it.
It's been eight weeks since I started trading live with one contract on ZN. In those eight weeks, I've only had one negative week where I ended up down equivalent to about 1.5x the commission of a single trade. I'm up 54 ticks/contract in ZN and ~20 in ES after commissions. I mostly trade ZN and really only trade ES if there's a great setup and treasuries aren't moving ideally. I know this doesn't sound that a lot, but the consistency is huge for me!
There's no substitute for screen time, but if you're willing to put in the time and effort, No BS will help to get you where you want to be faster than learning it all on your own. I think this course would still be reasonable at twice the current price. It has a ton of info and is a huge value. It was crucial in helping me to put everything together.
