Listed below are the sources that I found most useful.
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=193795 - this is the thread that got me started. the first few pages are the only ones really worth much, except for a post by darkstar somewhere in the 40's. it is posted below to save you the trouble
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=57639 - good stuff if you can make any sense of it. it took me a read or two to get and most of the stuff i only use subconsciously now, if at all.
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=223371 - lots of crap to wade through, but i seem to remember there being a decent tidbit or two.
read darkstar's stuff, keep an eye on the james16 thread, read anything by gaston, there are several others that i am forgetting
read Larry Harris's "Trading and Exchanges"
"Mind Over Markets" is worth a read as well.
read "Market Wizards", if only just for fun
be wary of anyone telling you the market is completely unpredictable, it can be, but not always
try and trade only when you KNOW what is going on, the odd gamble here and there is ok and almost impossible to avoid, but take full advantage of the fact that you don't have to be in the market all the time
news doesn't really matter, except when it does
i guess thats about it. good luck

DislikedOrderflow trading in a nutshell:
1)Find the stops and fade them.
2)Find the barrier options and push into them.
3)Find pockets with a lack of open interest and gap them.
4)Find a sequence of stops spaced 10-25 pips apart and prepare to put your kids through college.
What you need? A prime broker currenex/ebs account, IFR, Oanda open interest, some friends on the inside of a large bank or brokerage, a proper understanding of risk management, and most importantly; your psychological issues completely resolved.
Its not an EA type of system. Even having the above, your still going to fail until you have developed a keen sense of the market. Intuition plays a huge part so if your stuck in the mathematical world of EA's and if-then-else logic, don't waste your time. Trading is an art, not a science.
Why am I telling you this? I really don't know, but I won't be giving you any more. Ever.
Do with it what you will.
PS - Please stop sending me PM's asking about training or mentorship or begging for clues. If you can't figure it out with what has already been said, it would be a waste of my time to train you. Thanks.Ignored
