You guys are getting way too complicated. You may not know w.hat price will do but you can plan an action IF it does anything before it actually occurs Ie I'm a buyer at x, seller at y. Why? Because price. Very simple

definitely a valid strategy that I continue to use as well. i, personally, prefer not to use this for one main reason. if price does a major level then makes that initial favorable move only to find what is perceived to be temporary S/R and you plan ...

thomas, you are on the right track. to answer the question about S&D and hindsight, identifying these levels depends on the contract/market/pair. each move in different ways but generally all trade in a similar manner. the idea is that you ...

Im fully aware. notwithstanding, I'm talking about execution not just the bid ask ladder. Plus how can you quantify from chart market depth? How many bids absorbed that 1000 short on 10y?

oh ok. how are you making a determination of order flow from spot? edit: nevermind, i see that certain brokers support market depth w MT4.. although, arguably & rhetorically, is that representative of the market itself? meh. futures are transparent. ...

futures trader? what platform are you on?

i actually find EU extraordinarily hard to read the past few days and have stayed out. i dont like aggressive bidding like when it touched 3300 on the 22nd. who is to say that it wont fall right through to 3240? anyway, it didnt i digress. i will, ...

fkin lol, you were wrong. say it. it did 3460 for all intents and purposes. anyone who wanted profit thereabouts is out. any real trader is already out and not riding it down 2 cents to hold out for 4 more ticks on original TP what a dumb concept

it did 3454 futures and 3452 spot. get real, your timing was wrong. its not a big deal but dont pretend like 60 is some mystical number

there is no good ES support right now other than the intraday griind higher from a few weeks back.. and they are meh at best. in futures, it broke 48 overnight ... i think youll make some money there. i got creamed buying the dip last week on the ...

lold morning all. flat except limit order just above on EURAUD 4816. i'm accumulating AUDUSD longs, EURAUD shorts. both are at and around major daily highs/lows. hopefully one of these will work, if not both. AUDUSD, EURAUD have the potential to be ...

what if it retraced to 4125? I would risk my entire fking account shorting that. what a superb resistance level.

just my opnion but i think yall are discounting momentum here. it likely has legs to 137

holding. offering more at 9750

Yeah. It introduces the possibility of a missed fill based on fractional error which is annoying. But.. fx futures are really, really thin in certain instances. Like <500 traded daily. So, sacrifices must be made I suppose.

pt, ive had such a good month messing with FX i reopened a spot account w citifx today. ive been wary of trading anything other than EU on futures because its so thin but now i have the CITI LIQUIDITY lol. short usdjpy 9785 i can already say that i ...

took a short @ 9785 edit: first trade since reopening citifx acct.

price does what price wants. they write the article around the action. a week from now when its its down 2 cents, itll be the opposite for the same reason. morning btw.

morning flat except for ES overnights from yesterday where im still down about 20 ticks. dont really want to touch EU or crude until it makes a move to major S/R.. so maybe no trades today.

You misunderstand. I was buying from 3280 down to 3215. I sold my longs ultra early. Total heart break even tho I did great $. Too late to get back in now Can only buy a retrace
