The trader explains how to identify large limit orders and execute quick trades to capture small price reactions, using the Alice coin as an example during a period of high volatility. ### Key Points - **Trading from Density Overview** [00:31] — Options include catching reversal points from large limit orders or scalping small reactions (0.3-0.5% movement) to density levels. - **Alice Coin Selection** [01:15] — Alice coin had increased volatility with a 50% price increase in one day, removing liquidity and showing strong reactions to order book densities. - **First Trade Example** [02:13] — Placed an order from a large density, price approached, order withdrawn, then touched density and got a 0.40% reaction, closing with +$20 profit. - **Short Trade Example** [02:27] — Entered short from a limit on futures, got a 0.5% reaction, closed with +$20 profit. - **Limit Erosion Observation** [03:10] — If a limit is approached multiple times, it may get eaten away. In one case, a 70k lot limit was eroded, and the trader took a 0.6% movement. - **Strategy: Accumulate Small Rebounds** [03:34] — The trader aims to accumulate many small rebounds (0.4-0.5%) rather than catching a specific reversal point, using high frequency to build profit. - **Repeat Trades** [04:04] — Multiple similar trades: large limit, place long/short order, price touches, take profit at 0.5% movement, positions held for 10-20 seconds. - **Nuance 1: Volatility Requirement** [05:30] — This strategy only works when the instrument has increased volatility. In normal times, Alice coin does not show such movements. - **Nuance 2: Commission Costs** [05:46] — Frequent entries and exits burn profits; 30% of profit goes to commissions. Need at least 0.1% movement to cover commission. Using limit orders cuts commission in half. - **Nuance 3: Position Sizing** [06:16] — Best to trade with small amounts ($1,000-$3,000) depending on the coin and its volatility. ### Conclusion Scalping from order book densities can be profitable in high-volatility conditions, but traders must account for commission costs and use limit orders to reduce fees. The strategy relies on quick entries and exits to accumulate small gains. ## Transcript Hello everyone, this video will be dedicated to trading on the order book from densities due to the fact that the market is in a fluctuation and the number of formations for a breakout has significantly decreased. I think any adequate trader adapts to new conditions and connections on the site in my trading arsenal, some new trading strategies have also been added, such as trading level spikes and scalping from densities, and about the latter today, and we will talk about options for trading from density. There are many, this can be like trading large movements and trying to catch reversal points from large limit orders. Also, if the option of trading such minute scalps stood at catching a reaction to density on 0.3 0.5 percent movement, and today I will show you a trading session where scalping from density and lure and Alice and also I will back all this up with my comments before watching. Before watching, don't forget to like this video and subscribe to this YouTube channel, but I'm starting the whole trading day was dedicated to scalping from densities on the Alice coin. At the very beginning, this particular coin attracted me because it had an increased price that day. I opened the chart and saw that the coin had grown by 50 percent in one day, it had removed all the liquidity, and I also looked at the order book and saw that it reacts very well to the densities that appear in the order book, like with the cinema futures package, after touching any density, the coin gave a correction, and this correction was by half a percent, maybe even in some cases, the correction was 1 percent, but the coin itself was volatile, and in fact, what immediately came to my mind was to try to trade under these densities, which is what I trade under these densities, which is what I did, and now I will show you examples of these transactions, I think everything will be very similar here, why? Because the meaning is simple: I see whether the honey is large, as you can see in the first transaction, there is a large density, and I place an order from it, the price approaches, I withdraw my order, we touch this density and we immediately get a corresponding reaction, a movement of 0.40 percent, I close the position plus 20 dollars, the same situation, but already in a short limit on futures, I enter from it again, we get a reaction of 0.5 percent, close the profit and also plus 20 dollars are already in the pocket if it brands ki we have already approached more than once, I did not consider it as an entry point, so here's how it can be now we are approaching and the limit we are 3 2 1 and the price is eating away at it and I am already going from the limits that we have, we are here, I can pull 20 thousand lats and on futures I also go short here taking a short movement of half a percent, the position is already closed, well, what I already said is that if we approach the limit more than once, then I expect that this limit will already be eaten away and in this case we had a large mark at 70 thousand lats. I noticed that this limit entered in the erosion and immediately took 06 guy - then the movement can you notice that the position here I do not hold the position I am practically there for 10-20 seconds and I am trying to immediately close the positions I do not expect to hear some kind of specific reversal, I immediately determined for myself that I Here I'm not trying to catch a reversal point, I'm just trying to accumulate these very rebounds 0040 five percent, since this instrument at that time it seemed like a pretty simple strategy that due to a large number of transactions you can make a good profit, then the transactions will also be the same, I think we have a large limit, we are sweating, placing a long order on futures, and the price approaches and this limit takes my order, I am already in the long, I immediately place a take profit, the ask price is visas, it takes us from this graphite and again 0.5 percent of the movement in the pocket, after five seconds the situation repeats itself, but already in short, large limit on sweating shorts I placed on futures, it takes me, limit, our path and they do not corrode us, and I immediately place both profit and squeeze, and this is what takes the take profit instantly also takes profit plus 0.5 percent of the movement I entered this in parts, that is, the first part I went before the first densities and the second part I was already added before the highest density, as if in this deal again I received a reaction of half a percent, did not sit down immediately, close the of half a percent, did not sit down immediately, close the opposition, I take my profile back. All cases when the price does not get that same sharp reaction from you, a large limit, I either tried to close at breakeven or waited for when we begin to develop this very support, saw the marks and then exited the position. In this case, there was something similar, but we simply did not reach section 1 or accurately by the second, the price not reach section 1 or accurately by the second, the price reversed. I have had this too, therefore, there is nothing better to comment on. I will touch on the nuances of trading. This is densely this 1, trading like this only works when there is increased volatility on the instrument. If you open the order book of coins Alice now, then in normal times there are no such movements. The second is that 30 percent of your profit goes to cover the commission. cover the commission. Frequent entries and exits with short movements are very strong. They burn profits, and to cover the commission, you need from 0.1 percent of cover the commission, you need from 0.1 percent of the movement, then your net the movement, then your net profit comes. I also mainly used limit orders, and this helped me to at least cut commission costs in half. The at least cut commission costs in half. The third nuance is true: it’s worth breaking third nuance is true: it’s worth breaking for small amounts from a thousand to two or three thousand dollars, but this, of course, greatly depends on the coin and its Well, with this, I will end the video.
