UNDERSTANDING THE DOM FOR DAY TRADING: (thread>>>)
Make sure to read till end. Image
Topics Covered in This Thread:

1. Primary concept of the DOM.
2. Understanding the features of the DOM.
3. Explaining use of order flow.
4. Settings you can use to organise your DOM.
Primary Concept of the DOM:

- To read where positions of limit are of use at price lvls.

- Used to understand live liquidity of a market.

- Analysing trade environment and entry positioning.

How to Access:

> Simply open up the DOM via Exocharts desktop to access, Image
Understanding Features of the DOM:

- The key features you should know when it comes to reading the DOM.

- I've highlighted the info here >> Image
Features of the DOM pt 2:

- Other features of the DOM i haven't mentioned include... Image
Understanding the order flow of the DOM:

- By filtering DOM values to show only larger values, filtering out low liquidity at price lvls, overall liquidity can be seen.

- Trend health can be observed via buy and sell walls and potential reversals.

Explained in detail below. Image
2 Settings you can use to organise your DOM:

Bid, Ask > Combine Bid and Ask columns.
This allows for more real estate on your charts as well as not interfering with info.

Filters > Bid-Ask hide text if <insert.
Filters out smaller values of vol for easier observing.
So much more info i'd like to cover on DOM coming in the future.

Such a useful and interesting tool to use when trading.

As usual a like and retweet is appreciated, any comments you may have feel free to give me a msg.

Stay Smart and trade Safe!

Last time I discussed liquidity in trading, I covered more than ever.

This thread breaks its key components down to the detail, for everyone to apply.

...Liquidity & how to read it 🧵 (1/9) ↓ Image
Here's whats discussed...

• Liquidity creation
• Liquidity removal
• Resting orders
• Buy / Sell -side liquidity
• Series of highs/lows
• Points of control

Conclusion

(2/9)
Liquidity creation

"maker orders" referred to as limit orders, are orders that create and add liquidity to a markets books.

These limit orders are cheaper to execute because of the positive impact they provide to liquidity in a market.

The more liquidity there is, the easier it becomes for people to buy or sell an asset at a market price.

Hence people or industries with loads of money are more drawn to higher liquid markets. ( i.e FX, commodities, Futures such as NDQ & ES as well as Bitcoin)

When a limit order is placed by an exchange, it is then added to the order books where liquidity is stored. We can monitor this using a depth of market showing the bid and ask volume for each price level in a order book.

For depth of markets I'd recommend choosing an exchange pair with larger liquidity (Binance or Bybit for Bitcoin).

Different areas of price can have varying levels of liquidity. Areas where there is more liquidity available is most attractive to traders and firms.

Hence why as traders, liquidity regions are always of interest to look for trades.

Countless hours spent testing

totalling 1700+ days of Bitcoin price

here are some everyday levels and stats for everyone to know...

Pd Levels 🧵 ↓ (1/8) Image
Here's what's discussed...

• brief overview of candle sticks
• previous day equilibrium
• previous day high
• previous day low
• previous day h/l break

• conclusion

All levels were based on Bitcoin price action only. Stats should be disregarded for other assets.

Candle sticks

Each candle in a candle stick chart represents price movements for a given period of time.

This can be anything from a micro second to as large as a decade.

In this thread i'm focussing purely on the daily time-frame, where each candle represents a days price movements for BTC.

A candlestick is defined by 4 key components...

- Open - High - Low - Close

...here's the layout ↓

Arguably the best thing to know when learning to trade.

today I'm discussing my most important,

the tool every trader should know...

Volume 🧵↓ (1/9) Image
Here's what's discussed...

- Transactions
- Bid-ask
- Volume profile
- Fixed Ranges
- Volume spikes
- Reactions

- Conclusion

(2/9)
Transactions

To understand how transactions occur in a market we must understand what is being transacted.

A transaction simply put, occurs when a limit order becomes filled by a market order.

The totalling of all these are what’s known as the volume.

…diagram explained below ↓

A limit order being an order which adds liquidity to a market (maker).

A market being an order which removes liquidity to a market (taker).

We can see all the transactions being occurred from viewing what’s known as the “tape” showing us the size of the order, time and price.

We can also see all the limit orders via the DOM (depth of market), where they are stored in the books until they are filled by a market order.

thousands of trading tools to choose...

thousands of tools to learn

In my years of trading, very few have stuck out to me.

Today, I'll discuss the few trading indicators that I still use and how I use them.

...Indicators🧵 (1/8) ↓ Image
Here's what's discussed...

- Fractals
- Market Sessions
- vwap
- Volume suite

- honourable mentions
- conclusion

Fractals

A tool best suited for spotting pivotal high/lows on any given time-frame, Williams fractals work as follows.

...use cases and diagram explanation ↓

Pivot highs - candles whose 2 candles before and 2 candles after have lower prices on either side.

Pivot lows - candles whose 2 candles before and 2 candles after have higher prices on either side.

Other use cases...

1. Identifying market structure trends - through using the pivot highs and lows marked as fractals, it becomes much easier to use the fractals as a rule for identifying market structure in a chart.

2. Market structure breaks - Looking for breaks of structure is also good from using fractals. For me personally, I look for the last 2 fractals in a trend to be broken before considering it a break of structure.

3. ERL levels - using the fractals as regions of external range liquidity, when unrevisited (naked). Out of a set of naked fractals prefer to use either the last or 2nd to last fractal as a good ERL region.

Where to find... available on trading view under the name "William fractal"

Standard analysis shows where traders might be.

Order flow allows us to see where they are exactly.

Today, I'm discussing different ways to see order blocks in trading.

...Orderblocks 🧵↓ (1/7) Image
Here's what's discussed...

- order blocks (technical analysis)
- stacked imbalances
- poc's & HVN's
- TSizes
- conclusion

(2/7)
Order blocks (technical analysis)

An order block can be classified as an area of price where an extreme volume of one-sided participants enter a market.

This can be either buyers or sellers.

...diagram explained below ↓

The region should act as an area of support and resistance when revisited due to hold up from the buyers or sellers who previously entered.

Within technical analysis we can identify this through looking at the following...

1. Identify an impulse candle either to the upside or downside (large body candles, greater in size than average).

2. Look for the prior candle before the impulse candle. Check to see if the candle opposes direction of the impulse candle.

3. Now use the body of this prior candle from its open to close as the order block region (depending on the time-frame you are looking at this may vary).

Every trader can read a TradingView chart
Most traders can read volume on a chart

...very few can read a footprint chart

Today I'm covering footprint charts & what you should know.

...Footprint 🧵↓ (1/9) Image
Here's what's discussed :

• fpbs
• cluster types
• range chart
• volume chart
• delta chart
• text types

• conclusion

(2/9)
FPBS

Foot print bar statistics is a grid layout which shows information on each candle printed.

Statistics include things such as...

- total volume inside
- total delta
- total liquidation volume
- time to form candle

others include..

- highest delta achieved (delta max)
- lowest delta achieved (delta min)
- cumulative delta total
- Tsize

Each can be used for analysing different order flow readings for understanding market sentiment.
