Lo and behold, it was a shallow pullback. +123 Pips in the money so far. Next up, 1.6470. I am very generous tonight- only targeting 1.6540.
Decided to exit at 1.6423 with +110 Pips. No longer feel confident about the move N beyond 1.6470 and I want to sleep. Good luck everyone.

Does anyone know if there is way to measure Market Depth in FX? Can you visually see the orders? How many @ whatever price and the size of the order.

I see people say buyers/sellers lining up at certain levels. How do you see this? Are you using S/R levels and Volume?

I have no idea.

Cheers

Comming from an equity trading background where Market Depth is a good measure of market I struggle with FX without it.

I understand because there is no central exchange for FX, its hard to measure Market Depth.

People are saying these when they see how price react at certain s/r levels. ie strong rejection at support level (strong presence of buyers) vice versa. That's why it is ultra important to wait till price gets to a certain s/r level & wait for the reaction before placing an order. Sound traders always wait for confirmation. Poor traders always assume.
Btw, having identified major s/r levels and price action understanding is about the only thing you need technically to trade. Put more effort in managing risk.

Good luck
Thank You

Hi alex yes I'm still staying out. I had my sell PO triggered yesterday but I had closed the trade since to reduce the loss after confirmation that h4 ltl is still intact. Here was the trade : http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=1502

I have only been trading dragon this past week in the absence of trading cable. I can wait.

Good luck with your trading
Thank You

there is no thing as market depth on the platforms that most of us trade off. There are professional ecn style platforms that show the depth of the market either side of price point. I think account min is 250 k . I looked into one once , but did not have the required capital.

I use vsa. I do not really want to post this openly as there are certain muppets (aka sycho) in forex factory that do not deserve me sharing my knowledge with them .

However one person should not spoil it for the rest

here is a chart that reads like a book.... if you know how to read it. I have marked it up best I can

Because since the day I started trading the only way that I've traded is with the trend. And I have stuck with it since.
And the consolidation period on cable this time around is unthinkable to be honest. Never thought I'd have to wait this long for a breakout lol. And rightfully I'll admit that I've missed out on making quite a good amount from this range, but since I'm not losing any, I guess no harm done.
Thank You

Get ECN account, interactive brokers requires 10k and shows market depth (I have used them in the past), mbtrading requires less and provides market depth (as far as I know) too.

The market is not centralized so you see only a portion of the total market - you could also use currency futures.
