In this lecture I introduce you to the course and raise awareness on the pitfalls in the business of trading and why this is the best path for you.
In this lecture I show you how you can access the raw data to begin your analysis, if you are using another platform besides MT4, this data will normally available with the vendor. You will learn how to extract it and put it on a spreadsheet in a simple step.
In this section I teach you some basic skills on baselining data. This is a rather subjective area but by following this simply logic you will be able to create a simple baseline for most data sets. This is an effective method and you will soon be ready to tape read.
In this lecture I re-visit the basics of visual volume reading. You will gain an understanding of climatic volume and grouping volume to determine market strength to judge for opportunity. This concept will help your understanding of how to read this in a raw data format on the tape.
In this lecture, I show you how to read tape, this will a good time to re-visit the resource link from lecture 4, this will be in the resource section below too.
In this section we get personal with the tape with some real examples explored. I have kept examples to a minimum to not overload new traders to the subject. If you want more engagement join the Discord server for more help and content. See resource link in Lecture 1.
It is no surprise that larger traders and professionals are obsessed with volume, order flow and all aspects of demand and supply. This is with good reason. Volume is breadth of a market without it, there is no market. This is the reason why base elements like Niobium don't have a futures market, there just isn't enough liquidity. No matter how far we go back in time the best traders are the ones who understand volume and the tape, some will choose to share this with you, some will choose not to but it is not difficult to tune into your favourite Trader YouTuber and see a DOM or a Volume profile or some other volume based tool shouting from the rooftops how he conquered the market maker....
