TRADING QUESTIONS
What I Trade
I primarily trade the ES Mini (ES), but will also trade NQ, RTY, GC, and Bonds (poorly). I also swing trade stocks, as well as invest for the long-haul in a variety of sectors. I also enjoy "off-beat" investments, such as modern art, vintage books, comic books, vinyl records, NFTs...basically anything collectable.
How I Trade
The vast majority of the content I post on Twitter is related to day trading index futures. Most of these trades are closed by the end of the day, but my strategy allows for a scalp trade to turn into a swing trade if I happen to catch a local top/bottom.
I also occasionally post about stocks that I'm swing trading. The majority are momentum based trades, but I also like to buy/sell extremes from a Volume Profile perspective.
A large portion of my strategy also comes from swing trading SPY using a proprietary system based on volatility and activity in the SPY & SPX options market.
Tools of the Trade
I utilize a variety of market tools to day trade. The one I get asked about most is this one from Bookmap Pro:
Check out their website if you're interested. https://bookmap.com/
I also rely heavily on:
- Volume by Price (Volume Profiling)
- Delta by Price
- The 30min Opening Range (search for Michigandolf on TradingView for a free 30min OR Script)
- Support and Resistance Lines (Technical Analysis)
- Previous Day's Highs/Lows + Opening Price
- Session Pivots
- The toolset from OrderflowLabs https://orderflowlabs.com/
- SPX & SPY Options Flow/Positioning
- Fading awful FinTwit Furus
For trade execution, I use Sierra Chart (Denali + CQG), Tradovate, Thinkorswim, and Rithmic.
