John's opening slide (the pit) is pure art, narration gives a feeling for what has been lost going to screens, which is all a lot of us have ever known.
ETA: John's comments about the DOM remind me I came across the notion of "professional" and "amateur" bars recently, which I assume have to do with lots per trade. If so have to start trading instruments that have meaningful volume (unlike Forex ).
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

Thanks No surprises there. It turns out very few of the clever ideas I get wind of are not old. And personally have yet to avail myself of the service IB offers to disguise motion of large amounts of capital to distribute or accumulate
@Big Mike - can you post a link to John's other webinars on futures.io (formerly BMT)? I typed "hoagland" into the search box and found the two webinars (this one and the one on psychology a few weeks ago). I'd be interested to check out his other videos. Thanks!
