Good luck Wino. Post your trades up and let us know how you are getting on. DOM + T&S will take a little getting used to.

interesting a lot of you guys use the tape & DOM. in terms of longevity and preserving mental energy this seems a tough sport. can any of you see yourself trading the tape & DOM in 10 years time. Personally I am in the game for the long haul so my methods need to be such that they can be traded over decades without burnout. I am in my 30s now but I just cant see myself staring at the tape and DOM when I am in my 50s. it's all about staying in the game.

I think it is an invaluable tool and some people use it differently... I don't use it to scalp, but I could, it is just not worth the time, effort and commissions for me.
But if you look at my earlier post I was looking for a place to short and I could tell where to enter... The 47.50 were sticking, it would go up a offer, go bid but did not crack 47.75, so I figured the 47.50 would be a good place to go short.
I don't really look at at bid or ask, just price and volume traded, if I see it is getting absorbed and not moving up, then I take it...but it sort of has to stick for awhile, as I am looking for real money taking all the contracts, not just 100 lots, but if I see a couple hundred, then a 1000 trade there, and it doesn't move I assume there is a refreshing order and someone is trying to hold the market down, so I go with them. I thought we would get to the 48's, but when I saw that, I knew this was it.
Also charts only tell part of the story because even though I was short at 47.50, there was resistance at 46.75, look at the volume traded there, as I am I am typing this it is back at that level again... and pushing higher...so we will get another chance to fade this action.
Let's see if the 47.50 stick again.
