Over the past six months, I have been using a tool that has significantly changed the way I trade. It is called Market Atlas by Trading Terminal, built with the help of the Nasdaq TotalView feed. Simply put, it gives you visibility into the order flow to the upside and downside. When you identify a meaningful imbalance on one side, and combine that with solid price action and clean candlestick patterns, the edge becomes very powerful.
Today was a great example of that.
I had one of my strongest trading days recently, finishing with over $49,000 in profit, largely thanks to Market Atlas. During the market open, Kyle, one of our traders who has been training with us for the past two years and successfully passed the $10,000 funded challenge, brought Intel ($INTC) to attention.

I am currently trading from a small guest house at around 12,000 feet with limited connectivity. When Kyle called out INTC, I pulled up Market Atlas and immediately noticed significant orders stacked at $105 and $110. At the same time, the one-minute chart showed strong price action setting up for my favorite 1-minute opening range breakout.
That double confirmation was enough for me to take a long position.

At market open today, Atlas showed obvious huge orders stacking at $105 and $110, giving us the conviction to trade the breakout when INTC was still at $103.

Kyle and I traded together in Bear Bull Traders chatroom, pointing out the A+ setup of the day on INTC.

As the trade developed, the stock continued to make higher lows on both the one-minute and five-minute charts. With confirmation building, I added to my position. The breakout move extended all the way to $110 (our key liquidity level on Atlas), resulting in an incredible 10 percent move.

At 7:25 PST (10:25 exchange time), we were clearly seeing order flowing toward $110, a real liquidity level for our price target.

I also want to officially welcome Kyle Taylor to the community. Kyle is a Canadian trader who has shown great discipline and growth over the past two years. He’s also one of the highest paid funded account traders on our payout leaderboard. We are very excited to have him as part of the team.
On a personal note, in the next two weeks I will be heading higher into the mountains, up to 22,000 feet, to climb Lobuche and the iconic Ama Dablam. It is one of the most beautiful peaks in the world. I expect to have intermittent internet access, so I may not always be able to share my screen, but I will do my best to stay connected and contribute to the community.
