"This boggles me also. What was first: the shorts? Where did so many came from. Specially since the Orange Dude bias was clear.
This looks like the chicken egg story.
Any ideas are appreciated "

That has been covered quite extensively in the educational videos.
Also remember the plausibility principle.

If the DM bias is strong, this is MORE important than any "economic logic".

With regard to WHY the DM trades as it does,

well, sometimes the DM tends to do a lot of "stupid", "non-plausible" trades, even against the plausibility.

"lol you're such a narcissist, i love it! "



I do not think so, actually I am a rather humble person.

But you are free to have your own opinion.

FF

"The sarcasm has not gone unnoticed either.. but you gotta love the Dude anyway."

Welcome.

Stay safe.

"Stop Buy orders AND Sell stop loss orders (more important)."

The SM Algos do not treat these the same.

FF

"the whole idea of going against sentiment is not so much about trading"

I do not think that this "anti sentiment trading" works....but to each their own...

FF

"
1) If EVERY retail trader Or DM uses only market orders with no stop loss or take profit or limit orders, what would that do to the SM algos or MM function? I am talking about complete elimination of order book (theoretically speaking).How will MM make bid/ask quotes?"

Will never happen.

Still, the SM would push out the DM positions.....and these would get a margin call..

"Back again?? "

I knew it.

"This thread is full of conspiracy theories about smart money hunting dump money. It's simply not correct."


Are you even serious?

Did you read this thread??

AU H4:

USDCAD H4:

Yes FF, but what you show to the audience is caused by wrong decisions made by retailers. That's the reason for all that stop loss consumption.
E.g. on you recent screenshot there is almost no liquidity. How do you think that price will move without any limit orders so without any liquidity?

No mcquak....

as it can be clearly seen by following this thread for a few days,

the DM places positions and orders and the SM will then move the price; incorporating the principles that are explained in this thread.

These include (but are not limited to):

- time and range principle
- DM tolerance principle
- blocking principle
- plausability principle
etc.

Stay safe,
FF

it went well today
