Hey Colonel, Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I beg to differ with some of your suggestions though. Price couldn't get through the 1.4550 area in the past few attempts because there was a barrier there. Just like many other barriers observed in the ...

Hey guys, Just wanted to find out your opinion on this. Fxlive reported 'Fairly decent buy stops now seen through 1.4555'. Barrier at 1.4550 was taken out as price hit a high of 1.4552. Any opinions on why the lack of interest in the stops just 3 ...

hahah i hear you bro. every single piece of news is being used as some form of an excuse to justify a move. makes you confused as to whether the position you took was really because of that piece of news or due to stops or just luck in a certain ...

Hey Nervous, Yes it was a clear dollar strength move thats why I questioned the legitimacy of the whole host of reasons provided by various news feeds which were Euro specific about the down move of the Euro. They would arguably have contributed to ...

Hey guys, Anyone care to share their view on what happened to the EUR today (prior to the US news). Overly exaggerated moves for the type of euro-related news released today in my opinion. Hard to believe that the PMI data (which never really had ...

Is it me or does anyone else think that the real motive behind the movements in EURCHF are not directly fundamentally related but fundamental reasons have been used as an 'excuse' for players to execute their orders?

cable — Hmmm cable is acting pretty weirdly today based off the IMF report only. Wonder what's brewing.

the deep understanding of market microstructure and sentiment will shed light on why price turned at certain levels. its as if the outcome is inevitable.

hey guys, thought i'd post up a question for discussion. What do you guys usually make of price movements on days which do not really seem to have some form of a significant order flow trigger? While I understand that there is a reason for every ...

You don't need those volume data (I think they are not a true representation of fx market volume anyway). There are a lot of clues in all the order flow discussion threads on what to look out for. May I humbly suggest that you read through all of ...

I think you might be too focused on looking at stops/barriers/SR that you neglect looking at other factors such as current sentiment. Looking at your chart alone, I believe you are trying to show a stop-hunt? IMO, the key thing here is to identify ...

Hey abritton, I think its best not to start a semantics debate here. If you are looking more at stops/barriers/bids and offers which arguably affects short-term trading more than long-term ones, this thread (and along with all the others) has more ...

i believe broker prices are derived from the interbank rates + spread. they have to follow interbank price movements which are a result of the 'big players'

hey guys, just wondering if any of you guys are tracking the eur/usd barrier. very very similar to what DS had mentioned before.

got the email. cant seem to send a reply to it though.

Hey Toothman and Tony, Sorry didn't quite get what you mean by 'I've looked at breakouts on a 5M chart around the London and NY opens but haven't seen a better win rate if you stay with the 2 pip SL'. Do you mean that you look for breakouts on the ...

ahh nice. what made you decide to take a quick profit there instead of waiting for price to gain some distance before shifting the SL to BE or taking full profit?

Hey Kassec, Was looking at the EURGBP too. While it price seems to b on a decent supply level for this pair, I noticed that it consolidated for quite a bit before falling off this supply zone in the past. Furthermore, when i flipped to the GBPUSD ...

some thoughts — Hey Tony and all, If we were to follow the strategy in a mechanical manner and trade in the direction which price initially moves towards, I find that this is less reliable compared to setting a limit order (or you can manually ...

Hey Kassec, Thanks for putting in the effort to write such a helpful post. Will definitely take note of the points in there. I have a couple of questions which i hope Red or yourself could answer: 1) On currency pairs like the AUDUSD currently where ...
