How to differentiate pro and amateur price movement?

Hello

In forex, we don't have true volume per tick like future or stock. Is there a way that we could differentiate when pro are coming in the market and when the amateur ( like me ) is in the field.

Study and learn about the major market participants. Commit to trading as a long term business and you will learn how to do this.

IFR often publishes information about who is behind certain market movements. You really need to pay attention to a news service, a chart does not contain that kind of information.

"148" written across in red = new orders coming in or stops filled or orders filled.
Can't differentiate pro Vs retails but possible to monitor a pseudo representation of "order activity"

Hello MinGary

May I ask where the "148" is coming from?

The "148" means nothing in itself, it's just an indication that there is a burst of activity at this level.
