I am still going to watch F X C M squawk box plug in feature. I have seen enough so far to know that when they say there is a barrier at a certain place, or that there are bids or orders to sell at a certain price, that price responds.

Yeah, I got that. DNT optons are traded OTC and as such are generally NOT leaked to joeblow's newswire. If a counterparty leaks information they will no longer be a trusted business partner and they will be on the outside looking in real quick. I would venture to say most option barriers are simply rumors and excuses to explain why the market turned at certain point. A news service nevers says "we have no clue why the market moved today". They get paid to make something up regardless of weather it is accurate or verifiable.
info about options, stops is available before, the proof could be in finding exact correlations between news and price moves but it is useless (i suspect) as this will only prove observational experience. i watched the effect of info in order board to price moves, its interesting but talking about that will be premature at this point, the sample is too small.

first comes observation and evidence then we can try to explain the hidden forces and motivations, but in my opinion existence of correlation and effect of OF on price action is far more valuable than discussion about its possible causes.

experiment here is the king. i will discuss this topic with great pleasure, now i'm gathering some academic research on topic.

Well I agree with you there. I get my Thompson info from another source. So I could not say about the FXCM source.
Is that COESfx that you get that information from? Or do you pay the 350/month to get the IFR service?

No, the lite version works fine for me now from coesfx. I would imagine FXCM is the same.

Thank you Jones, I have been looking into signing up with FXCM for this for 2 weeks now. WOuld much prefer a semi-real broker like Coes

Order Flow... This is the key. I would like to know about it too. Who(what large player) is going to buy a currency and know when they are doing it. AND WHY.

So far as I know FXCM is the only source that publishes this info. I hope not because I would like to know more.

There is a subscription service to FX orderbook data. Global aggregation on a low latency connection with integration into MT4/5 or any other ap that can utilize a DLL that comes free with the service.

hey darkstar,


we all know that you have a vas knowledge in order flow trading but apart from the book that you have written and think it is up for sale do you give some examples of your successful trade setups. i do understand that no one would share their strategies but how about a few tips to struggling traders like us. Not after your holy grail but a few set ups you look for on a chart would be really helpful.

Cheers
