sometimes i read funny articles about what it takes to became a succesfull daytrader. it seems like the authors often desribe very simple things in a very sophisticated manner just to impress others..

anyway, im my wiev, all you need to do is to master just two things. not ten, not seven, not three. just two!

1. edge
2. risk

if u dont have an edge (or if you dont know what your edge is), you will never make it. if you have an edge, but dont hold on your risk, you will not make it either.

some people say succesfull trading is about discipline - it is not. it is about edge and risk. discipline comes naturally if you have an edge and risk (and if you are not idiot). if you are an idiot, u deserve to lose.

i am not saying, that trading is not psychologicaly hard. it is. but a powerfull psychology will not make you money in the markets if you dont have a powerfull edge and risk management.

so, the bottom line for everyone who is still seeking the answer: first, find the edge (real edge, not nonsense!!) and second, apply proper risk

nq short against retail public buyers + speculation on tpo poc test --:> closed after sell market orders revealed buyers�stoplosses

the edge here: liquidity abuse of public in intermarket divergence
the risk here: limitied to the value of first target multiplied with the number of contracts

+120

orderflow situation which was valid on both markets at the same time

u can see three things that validate this situation as a tradable, repeatable orderflow edge
1) one sided auction (see the delta - red: meaning too much sellers vs. too little buyers)
2) late (reactive) sellers at the low (forming a red volume cluster) : this is the stupid public, retail people who follow the fast slip of price (these are the guys who are going to lose. these are the guys who i trade against)
3) the last breakout confirming the low risk - tapereader shows there is no interest to sell anylonger (that is the moment i click to take the trade)
