Hope this isn't detracting from the thread, but here are a few repositories for research papers which I've found to be great resources.

Just helping people along if they haven't found these already.

@Monroe, @Jimmy Jones - A back to basics on Economics is on my reading list as well. I studied Economics @ University, and the amount that I've forgotten or drunk away is embarrassing....

There's so many resources out there that even though not directed at trading can spark a wave of ideas.

I'm currently 5/6 of the way through trading and exchanges 3/4 of the way through a Macro textbook and just started a book about hedge funds and about 1/2 way through my first ever reading of DS's posts.

I also recently discovered I have free access to the "Journal of International money and finance" through some various Universities I'm a member of.

On top of that I got myself a library card to the local library and borrowed "The Ascent of Money" which I just finished watching... And not being a big library guy before discovered they are a great resource (duh!)

And have a few more books on my list I'm itching to read including:

"International Trade and Banking"
"International Economics"
"Global Business Today"

As well as "the way of the dollar" and at some point Oslars papers

Its getting ridiculous but the more I read the more I want to know and then I find another 10 books about it... Crazy shit. I'm turning into a complete nerd but enjoying it all the same. At some point I will actually get around to trading haha I'm also supposed to be doing a degree but that seems like childs play in comparison to this and has taken a back seat lately.

Until next time...

I know what you mean! T&E plus the Lyons Microstructure book are great.

I was able to sign up for the Int. Journal of Finance & Economics without having to show any Uni credentials etc.

I've been reading a lot on the collapse of Lehmans and Bear Sterns as well. Funny how dumb the supposed smart guys really are

Hi all, great thread.
Just like to get some feedback from some of you about your thoughts on backtesting all of this. Is it possible? Obviously determining where stops are likely to accumulate is straightforward enough, but tying it all in with fundementals, option barriers etc seams like it would be a nightmare!

So is it a case of just grinding it out over a couple of years forward testing (no problem, if thats the way it is, then thats just the way it is) or are ther aspects of order flow that you do backtest like patterns, support and resistance etc.

Any feedback greatly appreciated.

Just an FYI for those looking for a good intro to economics book:

Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell

Understanding economics is all about understanding price theory and this book has a great primer on the subject. Enjoy.

From many of the posts, it's interesting to see the discussion about "order flow" gradually turns to global marco thing, which is all about rates. And understanding the price action (along with mircomarket structure stuff) helps the timing of entry and exist. Good luck

I hope to start a brief discussion on the following?

How does end of the month and end of the quarter affect money flow?
Does traders close positions by month/quarter/year end? How does tax filing affect open positions?

I haven't had time to do any research on the topic, but I hope that some of you will share some information, experience and expand on the topic.

Cool Runnings...

I'm betting against down move. Price willl move to value area 4175 during late asian/early euro hours. From the chart i can see quite of a build up of short orders around there.

And if my guess is right, the shorts will get squeezed to 4200.


If not, you'll make money from longs like me :-(
