So the minimum trade size is 1000 units or around 10 cents a pip? Seems small enough for practice. Anybody know the go live date?

OK if its only showing liquidity supply that makes sense. It's just I have almost built a market simulator (simplified) and one of the things I had to model is where liquidity is being eaten up by market orders then hits a price where there are ...

Buy and Sell stops are market orders once they are hit, so they are not limit orders, you might get a worse price than you specify.
- chriskins replied Jan 28, 2011
Sorry I must have missed that, the problem is stop orders do effect the market in reality (they consume liquidity when hit) so if the model doesn't cater for them then its flawed.

I think this is what is meant but maybe darkstar can clear it up. MM = Market Makers. Pending = Limit/Stop orders Latent = Demand/Supply Curve, i.e. if price suddenly dropped there would be demand order flow because price is lower that its perceived ...

Analogy overload!!!! Analogy overload!!!!

They are not pending orders, they are a representation of the supply/demand curve.
- chriskins replied Jan 27, 2011
Latent orders are the manifestation of the demand and supply curve. I would urge you to read all of T&E before making any more assumptions.

Exactly, focusing on the wrong thing. Without a chart how can you predict where TA's are going to place their stops?
- chriskins replied Jan 26, 2011
If price is in a range then surely its near its perceived value? If price then deviates from this to some degree then either the perceived value has changed or its now mispriced, so what I think needs to be discerned is has anything happened to ...

Ah right, sorry, look forward to reading it if I get a copy. (Put my name down a while back).

Darkstar has a chapter in his book called "The fallacy of fair value". I don't think orderflow trading requires you know the fundamental value of a currency. I'll quote DS : "Order flow is read by deconstructing the logic processes of participants ...

If you are talking to me, then you can see I posted a chart before the spike.

Cable drop - update — Just an update to my earlier chart (sorry). We can see there was some order disequilibrium from he move down, I am sure these two moves are linked from the order flow perspective.

Thanks ScottyB, Great spreadsheet. I am in the process of writing a program to simulate order flow (I am a developer for an investment bank) to look at different scenarios. Obviously it will be a simplified model but think over time it could be ...

Sorry I missed the no charts bit, should I delete it?
- chriskins replied Jan 25, 2011
Not really, just learning like you. Trying to get my head around order flow trading. I have had some aha moments then feel I don't know anything. One thing I would like to know from the the order flow guys, is it possible to trade without being ...

Cable Drop — Great thread, was worried everyone had gave up? I am reading through T&E for the second time so I am actively studying this stuff. If we look at a live example, cable today dropped 200 pips in a short space of time (20-30 mins). ...

Excellent Post, This is where my thinking is at, I actually placed a demo trade just looking at a empty chart with some round numbers plotted and traded based on thinking only about thee order flow, I went to bed and price missed my TP by 1 pip then ...
