I heard some successful daytraders look at buy/sell walls instead of looking at charts to determine when to buy and sell. how is this reliable if buy/sell walls are constantly in flux? if you sell at a big sell wall, a huge buy wall could appear out of nowhere and then you lose.

>>9213059
I've made some good money doing this. Usually I just wait for a huge sell wall to get eaten away and then market buy when the spread is 0% and just sell within 5 minutes and aim for 1-3% profits.

Bittrex was brilliant for this since they let you see the whole order book all the way up and down (not sure if this is still the case as I haven't traded on it in a while). Not a coincidence that Binance and ever other chink-scam/shady exchange obfuscates this essential data. Even big swinging dick Binance only lets users see the ~200 or so orders above or below market price. Fuck all new exchanges

I made a lot of money trading. And walls are very deceptive. I've found that random moons when holding a coin actually go just as fast as trading.

have you ever tried this with weekly options on something liquid like the SPX? im interested to see if the leverage would outweigh the downside risk...

ya how do you get the data yourself? also, do you really need to see much above or below 200 orders? if you're day trading or scalping, you're going to sell very soon after buying so it's not like you need to see what's going on 1000 orders above. and as i mentioned in my original post, it seems like orders come and go randomly, to the point where a massive sell wall can appear out of the blue right after buying, fucking you over

It's an order book that hides 90% of the orders with no way to view them. Check bittrex to see difference, you can scroll through every single order on the books

why do you care about people putting in meme orders?

is it so you can see where huge spikes will occur where someone put in a huge buy at a certain price? hmmm

Real traders study chart history and watch level 2 chart for momentum change indication

>> No.9215609

>>9215522
but why do you need to see orders so high up or so far below if you're just going to be flipping it pretty quickly?

>> No.9215685

>>9215609
i think its so you can gauge momentum change at reversal points. if you cant see far out, then you cant be sure it isnt just a minor retracement.

but idk

I don't usually do high-speed "flipping," I just like to see who's actually in the game and who's spoofing. Also market manipulation does real damage over time and total transparency of this sort curbs it at least to some extent

>>9215559
I actually enjoy selling into large spoof orders when I can during an organized pump. Crypto "influencers" and their pajeets are cancer and deserve to be sniped

Me not overflow expert, but

Me look for price action
How much X sold @ Y price

Lets say there were 30 million XRP sold @ 9400 a few day ago

Price 9300 right now
If see 20 million XRP sell order out up @ 9400 there VERY HIGH chances it hit 9400 again


Here good book on subject
