I've been demo testing Optimus Flow futures trading platform of Optimus Futures for the last couple of weeks and I have to say that it is rather more intuitive and easy to use compared even to Tradovate..
It feels good to be back trading #dow $mym
DOM is very easy to use and to place orders, as well as you can place orders from the chart and the volume profile settings are amazing. Also predetermined stop-loss and take-profit orders are great to use for my strategies.
Here is a screen shot from chart set up and DOM.
Currently, I am in a process of switching broker as had to close my Tradovate/NT account. Maybe, I'll write a post about that later on, maybe not. I've been testing Optimus Flow platform for the last few days and my first impressions are great, it feels very intuitive to use, no hustle at all. It has great features for day trades and especially for those who apply volume profiles and trade from DOM.
Here we go with my first demo trade today, trading Micro Dow Eminis - $MYM for $15 bucks gross or that would be around $13 and something after comms and fees.
This is for today trading #dow $my_f $mym_f
Initially as of too tight stop got stopped out; however either due to stubborn revenge trading or due to conviction that the price action would go higher into bullish imbalance, re-entered at same price for a profit.
Trading micro e-mini dow futures today. Entered at a break out; however there were no enough buyers to get the price action pulling the price higher as well as I noticed a lot of sell orders sitting above break even -- most likely take profit orders for the days. So I chose to play safe and close at a small loss.
Here we are:
I am back trading micros on emini dow contracts. Still feel cautious and am in and out the market for some fast scalps as this one:
Shorting wheat $ZW_F at open.
Wow, the market is very volatile. I'm back trading MYM. Shorting at open.
In these volatile conditions, need wider stops. Got stopped out.
Back trading Micro Dwo Minis. Had an entry at a breakout on bullish imbalance; hit a second order by mistake and had two running orders which turned in my favour. Now closed both positions. Will revert with an update during PM session.
This is for today -- trading long on bullish imbalance.
Dow

Here we go with today's trading session.
This is how you make it trail. Since days of declines in wheat market, the price met some support at $5.60/bu and bounced on intraday basis.
Here already secured profits and will let it trail and either hit SL in profit or TP in bigger profit.
Here we go at the close of the grains session.
Here in profit now trading lower on imbalance.
Grains

Grains and Oilseeds are my favourite CBOT futures to trade. The market is slow paced, rather trendy and predictable intraday.

This is how over-trading looks like. $MES proved to be not my king of trading instrument. Returning to grain futures as a slow paced and comforting.
After playing for several months with Dow micro minis, I'm taking a closer look at Micro ES futures - $MES. Fast scalp before PMI data released.

Description and disclaimer
The
Hedge Project is a trading journal. It does not intend to provide trading advice to other individuals but only to follow up my trades and positions in the futures markets.
My name is Dimitr Stanev and I live in Bulgaria. In the very beggining of my journey there I used to watch and trade S&P e-minis $es_f; however I've found that the ag futures are rather more predictable and less noisier and thus currently, I trade grains and especially corn $zc_f, wheat $zw_f and soybean $zs_f futures. Grains are amazing and great to trade. Still I'm very into financials and I do like to day trade dow e-mini micro $mym_f futures for growing small accounts.
As for technical analysis, I apply some simple support/resistance breakout strategies, following volume profiles and finding the big players in the market as to go with them and ride along. My main purpose is self-education, understanding of the futures markets and finding the ultimate strategy. That's why, don't take it too seriously.. and happy trading.
