I too underestimated the market at first. It was a very costly lesson switching from demo to live. But with alittle more experience, my goal of making pro athlete money and financial freedom will be attenable.

{quote} how do you feel in terms of coordinating short term and long term orderflow? understanding this really pushed me forward
I feel alright with the concept of order flow except when short term order flow gets choppy then I have no idea where price is going. For the most part I try to stay on the side of long term order flow and play at areas of structure. I try not to take anything in-between (Only Strong Trend with weak pullbacks will I play between Structure).

Even though I TRY to stay with long Term Order flow. I see a lot of opportunity with Short term order flow and sometimes I make impulsive positions. I know, not good. I also find that I usually hang on to a losing position at least one bar to long.

The only part I think i come up short on order flow is determining when price will make a single leg pullback and an abc pullback.
And sometimes weak swings go longer than expected.

The difference between order flow theory and implantation has been difficult. It’s not quit second nature yet.

I still write everything on my chart as a reminder of what price is doing and my my thought process was. I'll post my chart at the end of the day. Maybe I'm doing something wrong still.

Potential ABCD Pattern on GBPUSD. Price pierced the 61.8% retracement of the AB leg. I entered a semi-aggressive C entry after an 8hr BEOB closing below structure. The PRZ is at the confluence point of the 100% expansion of the ABC swing, the 138.2% extension of the AB leg, and structure. Thoughts? {image}
Taken out at BE. Price bounced hard off of the weekly S1 pivot level. Decided to move stop to BE.

I insist with 1TO1, I had no time to put it live, but here's the chart showing, once again, how to take advantage of this setup.
After a 1TO1, looking for 38%, it is very common that scope. Then control strength and weakness, and if you have good mmtum, 61% follow up.
So far, this simple rule, then you can continue the trend to the point of decision. In this case, widely used, high and low of the previous day, the YH and YL. These are for me, the main barriers to price, in turn RN, and pivots. They are all part of the structure, the TF in question.
The order flow, and the strength and weakness of it, give us clarity and placed in trading.
Entering a trade, without these things clear, is financial suicide.
Greetings, a very interesting day.

when your looking at order flow reversals quite often you can be tricked into thinking its reversing when it isnt , fake tops tricking in the early shorts to get higher, so a good handle on price action helps and you need to look for evidence of order flow exchanges in areas of interest, you dont seem to have any trouble identifying those areas in advance which should come easy with practice

Thanks. I'm still struggling with the fake outs or false break outs. Putting everything together and staying focused has been tricky. But i'm still learning, eventually reading price will be like second nature.

It looks like a BAT. I can't read the ratio for the C leg tho.

Caution: make sure "X point" has good structure and that your in the direction of order flow because it looks like the CD leg is gaining momentum compared to your AB leg. Any pullback might be shallow

I look a little further down, Greetings {image}
arriving in the PRZ, tight SL and TP as 38% of all the move.
We'll see, bassist mmtum is still strong.
However, it is possible to see that the price level is rejected, and is gaining bullish strength.
We'll see, Greetings
