logicgate said: "No such thing as block trades of retail traders" Of course there is: any number of retail orders at the same bid/ask price executed within about 10 seconds of each other may be reported at the same time by the broker. You can look it up on the FINRA website. So you're a scalper? Then I can see how that approach would work for you, but I'm not, so I need a longer time frame view, which I can get from Cumulative Advancing/Declining Volume, etc.

logicgate said: "because everyone has the deep pockets to open a 683 lot position" If you knew how to read time and sales (it's obvious you don't) you'd recognize that as a "block order" of retail orders submitted by the brokerage firm. You've assumed that all trades with a similar timestamp (same second) are from the same source, which is a wrong assumption, especially since a few of them are odd lots, and big firms do not trade in odd lot sizes - 146, 147, 65, etc. Furthermore, as I said, they can execute millions of trades a second and they have up to 10 seconds to report a trade. In other words, you are just fooling yourself if you think you're reading order flow, you're not.

Logicgate: "If the orders you say happens in nanoseconds, miliseconds, they will stil be inside one second where I will be consolidating them in one big order." They have up to 10 seconds to report an order, perhaps longer in some markets, not sure. I don't know what point you were trying to make with your chart example, there are no streams of large orders there, just common retail trader lots, and your consolidation of the orders seems arbitrary. What would you do with this information?

Don't know about Tradestation but in ThinkorSwim, market profile is a chart mode, not an indicator.

I understand what you are trying to accomplish, logicgate, but there are easier and more efficient ways to do it, e.g., with "monkey bars," I think I have a Jeff Bierman session about this, I'll look. Thank you. "Usually the people who ditch and "burn" methods are the people who can´t use them, like this Don guy. Their mentality is "If I can´t use it, nobody else can, it is a lie." Not in this case, Don has "insider" experience from developing the ThinkorSwim platform and watching millions of dollars of orders come through the brokerage.

New Link Doc Severson - Mark Douglas Casino Exercise: http://www.mediafire.com/?1tdxsidxzezmgw4 Just watched this again, it's very good.

New Link Don Kaufman - About Time and Sales -2/22/16: http://www.mediafire.com/?z0m4sri5e3f3i3f Logicgate, With all due respect, your knowledge of time and sales appears to be about 20 years behind the times. Some important points to keep in mind: (1) Orders can now be executed in nanoseconds (billionths of a second), i.e., millions of orders can be executed in a second, and (2) firms can and do both buy and sell the same product in nanoseconds, to cover their tracks, (3) there can be as long as a 30 second delay in reporting orders, (4) dark pool exchanges can and do buy and sell between the bid/ask (in nanoseconds), and these orders will not not displayed in the traditional exchanges order book. I could go on but I'll let Don explain it....

It will if it's multi-time frame, and in fact it will give a more accurate picture of order volume.

I can get such info at a glance from multi-time frame VWAP.

A volume oscillator will tell me that, logicgate... but anyway I'll reupload Don's session, it explains the drawbacks of "tape reading."

"Sierra chart has an option to reconstruct the tape in advanced chart settings tab 3, then in time and sales just configure it to combine orders of same type and time (same second), you can spot the big trades" All the top platforms have that, doesn't mean much though, as I said earlier: "algorithmic trading programs will also buy and sell lots sequentially to cloak their activity."

Who is the author of this? Does not say.

It would be nice if people would make some effort to replace my dead links, as I do not wish to be the forum's librarian.

"The guy who manages the Course seems to be talking NORMALLY" That alone makes him stand out from the crowd. :D There's definitely something wrong with the shared link.

"no! the **** covers a nasty word." LOL, the forum censor function is not known to censor complimentary terms. Then again, to a farmer, **** is a good thing, it helps his crops grow better. Why, that's 4 star s _ _ t! exclaimed the farmer.

I think I have this on one hard drive or other, will look.

The course contents are listed here: https://learn.infoproductlab.com/courses/911783 I saw a group buy going for it on the net but it should have been done when the course was selling for $500, not now that it has a $1997 price tag. Re: the missing files, each file link has a random 10 digit code, good luck trying to guess them. Example: h++ps://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/3reguh9pfy

There you go, the torrent has the same videos in a much larger format, .mpg rather than .flv. "14 Videos total 5.73gb: Profitunity 1.mpg to Profitunity12b.mpg" And I did leave out Williams 2 books.

"Does anyone know if there is any major difference in content between this mediafire version (about 1gb posted by gadfly in post#68) and the magnet version" What is in the torrent? The set I uploaded has 14 videos (over 10 hours altogether), 5 amibroker indicators, and a few pdf's.

Here is one that few people have heard of: :D /forum.php

"give seperate file links not folderlinks cannot open in browser" What do you mean? You can zip up all files in the folder and download them or download the files individually (zipped up or not), although you may need to use their download app to do so.
