Nice presentation. The combination of TOS charts and Infinity ladder remains common. After swing trading stocks and ETFs, that's the combo I plan to use when I start trading futures after 10 months of preparation. TOS might eventually get their futures act together but they haven't yet.
You identified Ben Lichtenstein in a comment, not in the Info. As Ben says, folks find the Trader's Audio squawk either priceless or worthless. I'm firmly in the priceless camp; more than pit noise for sure.

technically we don't know if some is going long or covering, a green 10 lot trade could be someone flat buying 10cts, or someone already short covering 10 contracts, both represent buying the resulting position is irrelevant.

you said that buying is the green prints and selling is the red prints. I think you mean that the transaction takes place on the bid if it is red and takes place on green if it is on the offer.... red would be buying and green would be selling...

how do you split the time and sales charts by size in thinkorswim? also, do you know if its possible to remove the time element and just list by price and size?

@YiDog21 to breakout the T&S you actual make multiple grids (using the flexible grid tab) and put T&S in each grid. As for eliminating time, not sure you'd have to email thinkorswim for that one.

hmm...I don't trade the /ym, just es and 6e, if your TOS settings are set to live quotes then you shouldn't see a difference. I have seen the sim version of Infinity Futures lag before, but I haven't opened a sim dom in a long time. IF quote/fill speed is far superior to TOS, but I use TOS charts and rarely does IF ever make it visibly different in price, only around extreme news reactions will IF be ahead by a noticable difference for a half second or two.

How you put 3 Time & Sales columns together? I tried to put together 3 charts with 3 Time & Sales columns and then hide chart but it too stretched.

@GoVegas You would need to resize the larger window down to size. Since this video I have consolidated all 3 columns into 1 and screen out orders below 9 cts. Hope this helps.
