I've shortened my trading times quit a bit and find myself watching order flow. Do any of you know of any books, articles, or videos with good info on reading the tape? Id like some type of fundamental guide on what I am seeing.
Yes because trading is exactly the same as it was in the 1930s. Hint: displayed liquidity a fraction of what it once was post reg nms.
there is a way to apply math to the tape, once you see it in action - you can go back to the tape and recognize the patterns much easier and faster. when i refer to tape now, i am thinking quote screen.
There are a number of books I've come across from the very early 1900s on tape-reading. To be honest, I have been debating for a while to add them to my library. I known some top hedge-fund traders who still read wall street books from well over 100 years ago.
Thanks to Archive.org, one can read the Tape Reading book by master tape reader, Richard Wyckoff. The Day Trader's Bible - Or My Secret In Day Trading Of Stocks : Wyckoff, Richard D : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
I probably will get laughed at for recommending Humphrey B Neil’s old book on the tape. All the old books with decades of staring at TS, LL2 kind of help with the visual and gut rhythm of the tape.
