    this was a great lesson on trading the open as it relates well with a range breakout setup I am trying to get better at. I have been including in my daily report card to work on my skill of reading the tape as you mention and I can see the value in combining this skill with pre market action and key support and resistance areas to improving on this setup. thx again for valuable content.

    I consider the first 30 minutes my open. I've made the most and lost the most trading during that time period. Now I use it as a time to narrow down my watch list for that day.

    Very interesting - I decided myself never to trade before about 10:15 - so interesting to hear others feel the same way and also that it IS possible to trade it if one knows what one is doing.

      I totally agree with you, malithus101. I also decided not to trade before 9:45am- to 10:00 am. I like to wait and see the market's direction before getting involved. Of course, the temptation will always be there, and sometimes it is hard to resist. But I manage.

    Something eluded to in this video; an intra day trade developing into a swing trade. What are the signs to look out for in order to determine if that is the case? Momentum? Volume? Tape reading?

      I would love to hear Steven's response on this too. Here's my guess:
      It's less of a sign to look for and more of an absence of one. "There are no signs of this trade going against us, we have taken so much profit, and our stop has been moved into a profit area". In that case, hold a quarter until proven otherwise.

    • @74747Kyle
      @74747Kyle 5 лет назад +1

      i feel like if youre trying to trade stocks like that using options you should be looking to swing instead of the open, just a thought not trying to provoke or be rude.

    • @derekwfrazier
      @derekwfrazier 5 лет назад

      Looking at ATM option charts, not stock price charts helps. Look for large volume and levels. The open may or may not be the place unless theres an above 70% likelihood the trade might work. I like zero day options theyre cheap and you can get 20 to 40% pretty easily. Ill try a video on this, or better yet message me here we can work on it, I want to do it on aapl on a pullback trade.

      Generally selling options you can get get some of the best prices at the open by setting a limit order, but buying options for swing trading the best price is rarely within an hour of the open.

  • @gambotage
    @gambotage 6 лет назад +1

    There’s less participation at the open? Generally the volume is highest at the open, are you saying that volume is not indicative of “participation”? If you are saying or implying this I strongly disagree despite your 20 years experience. Also automation is NOT a must. That’s contradictory to your opening statement that the open can be traded profitably.

    • @smbcap
      @smbcap 6 лет назад +9

      1. there are large orders that get filled on the "opening print". these orders are placed in the pre-market and are "matched". then there is a lack of liquidity for the first few minutes. so any large sell/buy order will push stocks quickly in either direction. 2. automation is a "must" for those who want to capture multiple opportunities on the open.

    @metalhalide4043 4 года назад +2

    I could never trade like this, this seems like bottom/top fishing and is countertrend. Retail flow after the open can last anywhere from 15-30+ minutes and is no indication of trend until big money steps in. Without seeing the book you are at major disadvantage for that time peroid unless of course you are market maker.

      Gambling wouldn't involve creating a thesis, identifying key levels then watching the price interact at those levels or reading the tape. Gambling would be flipping a coin and then entering the market accordingly.

      @@bangladesh6027 actually i won't regard this as a pure gambling, but there lacks lots of details... what if the intraday levels coincide with other more important levels (day50, day200)? in this case, i don't think the entry based solely on the "inflection" thing is still effective
