Trading Crude w/Volume Ladder and Profile

The idea behind my trades are that I want to initiate a position from an area of significance that is viewable from a big picture context. I do not look for intra-day price patterns or any other hokey stuff as that is typically noise IMO. I want to be entering at areas where the big money is getting in. Once in the trade, I want to take risk off at somewhat mechanical areas but also paying attention to support and resistance that stand before me.

Once fully scaled, I'll look to move my remaining 1/3 position just outside of the developing value area until price breaks. I then look to trail my remaining 1/3 position once price breaks out of range in an effort to get the most out of the move.

So in summary, I looked for an area of importance before the session began and based my trade criteria on that. As always, I will react had the market done something differently such as move back up into the previous day's balance. So for example, had the market broke out of the IB high, there most likely would have been a test of the previous day's high. I would've been out of my trade and looked for a long entry to adjust the change in context. All in all, I went into the session with a game plan and executed on it. (continued...)

Welcome to Big Mike's Trading Forum.

Welcome, Guest!

This forum was established to help traders by openly sharing indicators, strategies, methods, trading journals and discussing the psychology of trading.

BMT is fundamentally different than most other trading forums:
  • We work extremely hard to keep things positive on our forums.
  • We do not tolerate rude behavior, trolling, or vendor advertising in posts.
  • We firmly believe in openness and encourage sharing. The holy grail is within you, it is not something tangible you can download.
  • We expect our members to participate and become a part of the community. Help yourself by helping others.


You'll need to register in order to view the content of the threads and start contributing to our community. It's free and simple, and we will never resell your private information.
