Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

LONDON, June 10 (IFR)- EUR/CHF has sunk to a 1.2173 session low as the Euro is hit on the latest Greek debt/default jitters. However, the 1.2053 all-time cross lows are below the market at present. The Franc has overlooked its own inflation and unemployment issues, with wider risk interests seen driving the latest volatility. Yet should the Swissie probe to new historic highs then expect locals to once again begin talking over possible SNBinterventions.

I'll be waiting for that....

however if I wanted to short, I'd be looking for 2400-2500 on eur/chf maybe

I can't imagine how you can follow both IFR and forexlive, man. I simply have no time for it.
I meant shorting CHF.

really? i read fast!

It really does not take much time at all. I like IFR better anyway
I've been wary of SNB invervention on the E/Chf. Been starting to back off the shorts. Intervention was brushed off recently but they've made it known that it will be done if their currency gets much stronger than the Eur.

Yup... I mean it looks a bit extended and being near all time lows I'm sure even the big guys would be doing the same as you, so you'll be getting some take profits down here, especially if SNB starts to verbally intervene. Then maybe look to short at the retest of the prior lows up at 2400-2500 to test the SNB.... ??? I don't know sounds good to me.

Just don't want to see seagreen or anyone be their liquidity...

edit: it would be nice if that happens around the 1.2 psych level...

Ok, fine. I'm withdrawing my bid at 2150 and leaving the one at 2100.

I appreciate that, Monroe. I'm really enjoying following your thoughts.

no prob i mean maybe you can get a little momentum play on it but I think a cool play would be snb talk and/or Greece problems temporarily solved by the 20th... should give a nice correction right?

My mindset is that Eur/Chf will make new lows before new highs. 1.20 would be a level. Round # & new low. This thing is running towards parity too fast if it breaks 1.2

Seagreen, I didnt know much about this until I read some history of the SNB the other night and how important the E/C rate is to them. Usd & Gbp paired is what I've been watching. Gbp has had some recent bearish news too I believe.

Fair assumption with the current situation... I'm not up on this pair and it's movement to be honest, just giving some thoughts...
I thought this was pretty interesting. Not saying follow this guys trade calls, just interesting on how he called the Trichet ECB play well in advance. Enjoy.

Looks like its going to 4350 tech support.
on DJ market talk a dealer was also saying that "strong vigilance" was not the only thing you should be watching out for during Trichet's speech... he was saying watching for what his expectations on inflation were and if he indicates a series of rate hikes or not, and also what he says about the peripheral debt problems are important. The 'cycle gurus' aka FX Concepts also called for a euro drop and general risk off scenario... however they are calling for quite a drop...

I was feeling a big sell off after I was sitting in my chair thinking about how this might play out with a perfect H&S almost complete, and expectations too high with Greece woes unsolved, however I still had to wait for the PA that day to give me the signal while I was watching the speech, but next time I will try and go with my gut in a situation like that, I am getting better at this bigger picture scenario and timing the trades.

we are testing strong support on the dailies, and techies taking profit dead on the 21-DMA. should prove a tough area...
isn't H&S exactly what OF looks to trade against at least in theory? I'm confused
who said that? I thought 'Order Flow Trading' was, generally speaking (as there is a lot to it), predicting traders and profiting from there orders... future orders and inefficiencies in microstructure processes. H&S alone means nothing... but when they are forming on longer TF charts at extremes in sentiment/expectations and taking other info into account... this would be different story in my book.
To me it was a clear sign to sell, so clear that once everyone jumps on board, there's loaded liquidity for the swing up...

I guess I was overestimating traders' awareness of the H&S / daily charts in general... ?
Heya guys,

Been travelling recently and still have a transatlantic leg to go, but I should be ready to go on Monday.

When I initially arrived from the flight and got home, I decided to check my platform to see the outcome of the ECB meeting. From the charts alone, I was like darn guess he just stated that inflation was being closely monitored again..but checking my newsfeed and he did come through as the expected hawk!

Sure, it may have been a clear sign to sell for you, but not for those participants who were positioned in expectation of vigilance from Trichet. In any event, upon conforming to expectations, there is a combination of profit-taking from participants whose expectations have been met, as well as participants jumping in to establish positions. The profit-taking aspect was hard for me to rationalize initially, but I put myself in their shoes by initiating a position a week ago, and I can now identify with their feelings of wanting to book profits. In the event that the latter participants I discussed do not have stoplosses of the magnitude of 100s of pips, these individuals would have represented uninformed liquidity - in my humble opinion.

Why?

The market is focusing on both interest rates and periphery/Greek sovereign debt issues (I have typed that phrase SO many times over, I guess it's a good way to know for certain what's on the market's mind!). However, the next ECB meeting is in July, while the EU meeting at which the sovereign issues will be discussed is in the middle of June. Committing to a position now for July leaves one open to the order flow that the June meeting and issues surrounding it, will undoubtedly produce.

In conclusion I learned a lot from what transpired on Friday, particularly regarding expectations and timing and wrote it down on my notepad. The market really is an amazing creature! I see a very highly profitable trade in the coming month, due to the market 'brushing aside' the impending rate hike. I enjoy these types of trades.

Thanks for the explanation T,

So you're saying the market started pricing in the expectation of the EU meeting and the rate hike for July, on June 7th..?

So if a favorable Greek situation and a rate hike are confirmed, eur is now available at a cheaper price.

If no rate hike, they still hold their shorts from early June, and can gain liquidity for a continued short move, from false market expectations..

Still trying to wrap my head around this one..
