Heh. Consistent as hell. But life and business often gets in the way of my trading.
If you scour the forums on the internet for the guys that can truly kill it in real time. You will see almost all trade some combination of PA, SR. But most have come to that point after thousands of hours of screen time. So there is FEEL involved as well as pure price action. This isn't the easy road, but it is where those 1% that survive and make good money often land.
On FF read: redsword11 (hundreds and hundreds of real time kills) , James16, Dropped Onion, Orbital, traderathome (new to me, but good), gatorinla, cloggie, paythelimit.
Edi (swisscheese), Lio, Kruspe, Angat, Kwannan, Xriskmark, f451, Peuo, CJ, have put up hundreds of charts here. (Sorry if I missed some).
Unfortunately all superb traders eventually realize the huge time drag that posting is.
CJ, has added his unique viewpoint. And mind-blowing execution pushing a solid edge. The thread focuses on the simplest concept, M,W, pin. But there is another edge in the analysis of MM strategy and where and whom is being trapped to create liquidity for their plays.
These are the guys that get it done with and for the smart money, and they are very very good at their jobs. The transition to seeing that in real time on the hard right edge is brutal. In addition it is dynamic. Mauro puts it well when he says the MM coming in on shift, doesn't know whether he will be long or short that day. He gets an overview of where there is liquidity, stops, and volume and seizes opportunity as it presents.
Good luck.
