Well there you go. Waiting for that shorting opportunity paid off. I hope you didn't hold on too much to your long bias there Rich.

Usually I would establish a bias when I have enough good reasons to and then use orderflow only when waiting for the trade opportunity i.e. to gauge when to enter/exit. If I don't have a clear enough bias, I would basically watch the orderflow for scalping opportunities (raised by short term inefficiencies).
yeah mate. essentially this is why many come to realise it's the "levels"/"stuff in the white spaces of the chart" that are more important.

at the end of the day, it's people buying/selling that moves price aye?

hence why news/shifts in sentiment are important.

I have read all the thread (finally), and I think there's a lot of hidden knowledge. Maybe too hidden.

I know we are here to trade forex, but this post can help people: http://www.trade2win.com/boards/level-ii/4129-making-150-000-month-trading-us-stocks.html

What about trade with Forex Futures volume info? This has gone unnoticed but I think it can give us better understanding about who is entering the market.

From my understanding of order flow and reading darkstar's stuff, I smell a stop cascade in USDJPY last night.

Looks like more than 1 barrier / massive stop got triggered.

Anyone with the data can confirm that?

TOKYO, July 13 (IFR) - USD/JPY led the JPY crosses down early as it plunged through 79.00 and then 78.50 in an apparent stop-loss run in thin, post-New York trading. A low of 78.48 was seen before the market bounced hard. The push down took out presumed option barriers at 79.00 and 78.50,

Nice. If only IFR would tell us that there're freaggin' barriers there before hand.

Is there anyone with knowledge of where to get barrier/stop newsfeeds? Pls PM me. =)

You don't need IFR to tell you that. You can presume it. You can assume it. USD/JPY was stuck in a huge choppy market. There are option players who have taken out DNT's in order to play the low volatility.

Also any bearish players betting on further jpy strength can buy One Touches with barrier levels there as well.

There may also be some people who thought that the BoJ may intervene and therefore support levels would hold, and they can express that view by buying 79.00 or 78.50 No Touches.

There are some big option structures at 75.00

They do tell you before hand where the presumed option barriers are. More at 78.00, so they have been at 50 pip increments.

DS used Coesfx for his strategy in knowing where the stops are stacked. This broker now seems to not exist so just wondering if anyone can point out an alternative other than IFR on Oanda etc?

eeerrrmm, yes. You can see lots of places where there might be stops but it doesn't automatically mean they are hot spots of liquidity unless you have that information from another source. DS used Coesfx news source for that information.

Ok thanks. It was an IFR service with Coesfx, thought it might have been a different news service. Cheers.

Every Stop hunting chart I've seen , there seems to be supply/ demand zones right above or below the Stoploss levels before they are taken out.. So am not too sure how important it is , If you are already trading the zones . Reckon this is what you are looking for..
