Disliked125$ a month? shit is free on oanda... and yea dude, I think that it is worth it if I had to pay it. I'd rather have a complete thompson reuters news feed with IFR also though... this i would pay extra for.
I don't think you need it.... but it's something I would do for the business, especially since I trade intraday. But, as of right now I'm cool with all the free shit that's available...Ignored

DislikedHmm.. Don't know really about this but seems a little wierd. I opened up FXNews and unchecked 4Cast, Dow Jones and UBS. The only one checked is IFR Markets, and that one only contains 23 articles and no one of them is about order flow, options or anythaaang.. Seems as if I am doing something wrong here? Can't find the order board or option board (or the equivalent).
Take careIgnored

DislikedWelcome to the information search... There's no big bolded font saying "hey trader really helpful information this way >>>>"
I think for anything really useful you would need to dig like a beaver and use a bit of wit.
Is it any coincidence the good stuff is buried by all the noise... ?
That's just me, maybe someone else could be more helpful.Ignored
DislikedJesus Christ Carnegie!!!!!
haha jk bro...
Sometimes they won't show up until about 12-2am EST or whenever they report it... then you'll see the boxes appear, but you should always see 'ifr forexwatch' so keep that checked and kill the rest until orders board and options appear then check them too and you'll get what you're looking for.
Test it out now and go back and reload yesterday or 'today' where it says dated up on the top right side. that will reload all of todays or yesterdays stuff and you can search back for about a week or so, you'll...Ignored
DislikedCarnegie... click the IFR menu down and you'll see what I'm talking about, you can filter out what you want and don't want from IFR or DJ.
do you see what I'm saying? come on C....Ignored
Dislikedthis is what i like to look at
http://fxtrade.oanda.com/analysis/open-position-ratios

DislikedYea this piece of crap can act up from time to time... try again in a bit.
but now with all this info you can get and your understanding of structure and microstructure of the FX market and how they work it, do you think you can put something together?Ignored
DislikedI guess I was looking for the wrong thing with IFR.. You have to read every article to know what's going on.. I thought it would say right on the headlines: OPTION BARRIER 1.35 ..or STOPS BELOW 1.3450, guess I was wrong thoughIgnored
DislikedYeah I'll try soon again.
That's a good question but the harsh truth is that I still do not know enough about structure/mkt. microstructure to make a educated guess. But now that I have defined what the order flow mentality is to me (swear to god since the day I "discovered" the order flow mentality and what causes orders I have been walking around day and night thinking about possible scenarios.. I know like a billion scenarios that would cause order flow now) the only thing I should to next is keep studying and look at IFR from time to time...Ignored
Dislikedwell I hear you, just keep in mind the sessions, whats going on in the market, the bias, the theme at the time, what will be happening that can cause movements, what these guys do for liquidity, etc etc...
and sometimes they will in fact say that exact thing... option at 1.35, bids here, offers there, stops below/above and you have to work it all out. But it's not going to be so straight forward as ok, go long here and go short there you know?Ignored
