How do you know when a level is conquered? A move above resistance could be a stop hunt which gathers momentum and triggers more stops (the stop runners motive), and then positioning for a sell off at those better (higher) prices, or it could be a genuine directional move based on fundamentals, how can you tell? Again, you're only going to know after the event. How do you decide which scenario is more probably and either fade the spike or trade in it's direction, perhaps on a pull back?




This is beginning to sound a lot like TA rather than order...

I don't know which will work and which do not I take them when I see the setup and believe me, I honestly don't have a 100% hitrate. I just trade the setups I have studied and that I see best. The setups that repeat over and over on charts. What my eyes see is just my eyes....we all see different things.



Personally I do not consider it TA and neither OF for that matter. I call it that for lack of better word and beacause domino started this thread along these lines. We trade similar but not identical.

If I were to give it a name it would be Price Analysis but don't know if it makes sense. But "basic stuff" sounds more like it......very basic stuff indeed

i am not interested in the sizes, i just see where the levels are on charts. that is all i need. i look at them as steps in a stairway. if we want to go up, we need to step on the first one, then on the next one and so on. until a step fails, then i start moving down.
I am also not interested in sizes and we don't have the access any way.

So we are both just breakout traders.

He would observe this window i posted above all of the day. After picking a stock he would start Buying that very stock silently. Ok when he is done he would start calling other People/Friends/Brokers tipping them to buy the stock that he is already done buying. Obviously he now had bought pretty much on the bottom prices and when his tiped ones would start to act there will be a spike.

and that happens day in, day out on every single market. all day long. trigger those levels....

Sure, there are probably orders above/below highs/lows as it's an obvious place for stops, but how do we know there aren't orders actually at the peaks and troughs themselves, we're not going to find out until after the event.
Exactly..Unless you are Mr. Broker/Dealer who is trusted with these orders, it's an anecdotal thing. Unless someone comes forward with evidence to the contrary.

Sharing privileged information and front running, gasp, surely not! Actually I don't think it's illegal in forex is it?

It's grown much larger since..I've heard close to 20% now. Futures data is all you need. The only trouble is that a quality feed is very expensive. Some quant funds pay thousands per month for data alone. Because the interbank spot is so convoluted, everybody looks at futures. Also, futures is a real traded market. Price will not move without old fashioned trading. It's real flow/real volume. Often futures lead spot. I watch my futures data and continue to trade w/ Oanda, but I'm working on switching over to all futures. There are many advantages for making the jump.

Market Delta is just a tool BTW, built for MP traders. True OF has nothing to do with VSA, MP, whatever. True OFA is about watching for aberrations in the flow. It's invisible on a plain price chart because it's all about streaming volume. Price is just a product of OF, when you're looking at a chart you're already too far ahead of OF.

It's true in a sense to say that when you put on a trade using TA that you're trading OF, but it's not quite true because you're not actually basing your trade decision on volume disruptions. I don't think I could be more clear around here without just giving it away.

And every trader's dilemma is where will a trend end, so he can exit and/or get in the reversal early. How do you know when those stairs run out?
Once a step gives way, you know you are having trouble. Not saying it will turn but maybe you should sit up, take notice and WAIT to see what the market does. No need to anticipate, no need to pick tops or bottoms, no need to know anything in advance.

Just watch and follow the market

Some months ago I opened a thread about order flow with futures data using Market Delta http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=200074, not much followed, but sincerily Market Delta + data is enogh expansive and I can make what I need with Ninjatrader + Mirus Futures for free....
