Even when the markets are brain-dead, as they were when we looked in on them on this particular morning, there will always be opportunities for the canny trader to exploit. We found some good ones here, but it required zooming down to Amazon’s 4-second bar chart in search of the ever-elusive fat pitch. Price activity at that level is always going to be frenetic and challenging, but if there’s a $400 payoff at the end of trade that takes just 90 seconds to complete, then what’s to lose from trying? If you’re keen to understand the dynamics of ‘camouflage trading’ on the tick charts, you will find this lesson well worth your time.
