Hi dear,

here you go:

FractalFreak, you continue to amaze me with your knack for reading the forex markets with your stop & limit order data as well as your position bar info. Your M15 charts on the majors have been phenomenally helpful to me in my trades over the last 2 months.

I have come to notice that the stop & limit bars act in very different manners even though they are stacked together on your charts. The stop bars indeed act as magnets for price once SM algos target these areas (as you have mentioned numerous times), however the limit bars act almost as momentum dampeners that slow down the price from going further in the direction of the stops and even in some cases causing price to reverse when momentum ends.

I have taken all you STS/MTS, Limits and PBs from your last AUDUSD M15 chart and re-aligned/super-imposed them to show stops & limits separately so that I can better visualize this difference.

Let me know if what I am seeing is valid or just market co-incidence. Thanks again for all your hard work in making the DM smarter!

I'll risk throwing in my two cents.. I believe market makers don't spend anything because they can triangulate, moving the price around to wherever they want at zero cost. If three of us retailers try to do this we go to prison but on the other side, well... they own the market, don't they?

Thank you for the explanation on point 1. I didn't understand what you meant by "3 plus current session on M15.....................ca. 2m on H4".

As for the last question, what I meant is. If the SM buys an asset low then it stands to be true that they will also be selling an asset at a high. Now in the case of GU yesterday according to the 15m chart it looked like going for the stops of the longies is cheaper because price only has to move a slight distance to the longies stops. However like you predicted the market went long to the higher stops. Having said that to move the price to the higher stop cloud which is at a higher distance would be more expensive and less profitable for the SM. Is that correct or is there something which I've not realized here.

YES.

The SM does not really need to "accumulate" any positions, it neither needs to "push" the price somewhere by placing "demand" in the market or sth. like that.

That is the reason why they can implement their "principles" day by day,

prioritizing "making all DM groups" lose over anything else...
