Insilico Terminal

a thread 🧵 Image
In this thread, I will cover the following:

- specific entry use cases using terminal
- hotkeys to enter at limit most of the time
- account switching
- cli commands I like to use
- my hotkeys at the end of thread
my setup

I use insilico alongside my exo desktop as a side panel for my execution.

Then once ive seen the reaction I may want to see within exo, I'm able to pull the trigger as quickly as possible using some optimisation with my Insilico setup and with the use of hotkeys Image
thoughts

seeing a reaction then being able to execute as if I was executing at market but instead being able to get in at limit was my aim.

sounds impossible, but with patience, hotkeys and stats I found it possible.
hotkeys

- scale buy/sell within a small range (mine is 0.01%-0.08%) from current price and placing limits within that small range using a hotkey.

- chase buy/sell for a distance of X% to be able to get into a move that Is being pushed up/down aggressively by one side. Image
MAE

For the past 380+ trades, my MAE on my winners has always been at the minimum of 0.1% meaning I never truly time the $ high or low.

It makes sense to take advantage of entering at limit using the scale function with a hotkey since I'm always offside at some point by 0.1%.
hotkeys (2)

- chase cancel (cancels my chase order if left running)
- cancel all orders

These are just a few but within my system, they are the most important that I am using most frequently.
CLI commands I like

"pstop at (price or % away from price)" positions links a stop in place to place a stop loss for your current position.

"chase close (% of position)" closes a % of my current position quickly If I feel it's likely for price to turn around Image
DOM

I've also configured some hotkeys to be able to trade via the DOM within Insilico.

the lots function with the multiplier in my opinion allows for more accurate and quicker position sizing if needed. Image
account switching

switching hotkeys between accounts, for quick access to a multi-account layout.

simply shift+click anywhere within the header section for the panel with the account to enable your hotkeys for that account Image
Using the hotkeys I've discussed

head over to the menu bar to visit the hotkey and variable center where you can edit the default settings I have set for you.

to RECEIVE the keybinds - follow me, like and reply to the 1st post of this thread. Image

market structure (breaks & failures)

a thread 🧵 Image
basics of structure:

at every origin of new structure is a swing point, either a swing high or low.

you can identify swing points easier through the use of 'williams fractal' indicator on tradingview. Image
confirmed breaks in structure:

sustained time spent above swing point (bullish break) without the ability for price to swiftly come back below the level.

market aggressor participants should still be active and quickly push price into an imbalanced state (trending).

I don't want to see CLOSES back below the level, especially when the delta is heavily against the break of structure.Image

fair value gaps (imbalances)

a thread 🧵 Image
also known as:

- single prints
- gaps

the naming is meaningless, the core fundamental behind it is that there is a piece of price which price moved quickly through (one candle), relative to the time frame you look at. Image
first touches:

when price initially revisits this void it can act as a level where:

1. stops are triggered
2. traders attempt to trader for the fill (anticipate a move)

the edge then comes from being able to spot these traders at this initial touch and fade them. Image

footprint charts (a complete guide)

a thread 🧵 Image
footprint vs regular charts:

footprint charts are a cleaner visual of the time & sales data.

it places buy/sell info on a per cluster basis, inside the candle.

doing this allows for easier identification of high volume/delta zones, absorption & trapped traders. Image
tick sizes:

inside the footprint, the cluster is divided into price blocks. Changing the tick size changes the granularity of these price blocks within each cluster.

larger tick size for increased volatility, lower the tick size when less volatile. Image

market sessions: a complete guide

a thread 🧵 Image
Asia (00-06)

I tend to treat it as a mini "monday range" but for intra-day purposes.

It's initial break of range can be a good indication as for the rest of days direction, similar to monday range.

Break one side of the range and it protects the other side of it.

example ↓ Image
London (06-12)

my favourite session to gain a bias off.

1 - london puts in the daily high/low
2 - price moves against it (running stops)
3 - buy where people exit the market
4 - target london pivot being taken out

example ↓ Image

naked point of control (nPOC)

a thread 🧵 Image
what are npocs:

point of control - where the most volume has occurred within a given volume profile.

naked poc - means it is yet to be revisited and left untapped.

npocs are most commonly "left untapped" due to trending moves pushing away from an area of value. Image
time-based npocs:

npocs are most commonly used across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes, mostly used for medium/high timeframe reactions.

I recommend for lower time frames marking 15m/30m npocs, when used in confluence, can act as good intra-day levels for mean reversion setups.
