Trading Institutional Order Flow

Thank you very much Akt for a great thread.

I would like to study SD zones, could you point me in the right direction? Tried before Mr Seidens approach and would like to study something else, with more precise rules.

Thank you.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is why THAT pair/chart. I'm sure you could have found 20 different daily charts heading into SZ/DZs but you chose that one. Was it the structure of the level? There's not a trend underway, really just starting to chop a little bit, is that a plus? Or did you like the fact that there was nothing in the way heading south? Do you put a lot of weight in the large time frame zone structure?

The core of this method are these levels that represent the core of the market, supply and demand. But all levels can't be created equal so nailing down everything that makes up a great level seems key.

Take the EURNZD monthly chart you just posted, the DZ looks decent maybe a little wicky but good overal. But the SZ looks like crap compared to the DZ, wicky, market chopped around a lot. Seeing as this is the largest time frame are you as concerned with that?

Hello swTrue.
Thank you for the question.

Let us assume there were 20 different pairs heading into supply and i was a day trader with a big account size, enough to trade all 20.
I would immediately know that i had 20 "potential" opportunities to sell
Now, not all 20 opportunities will materialize and a S.A.D trader would realize that.

There are a number of factors that would have to be present for the trader to take a particular trade...for example, as you read the thread, you will find pictures i posted of trades i had been waiting on for several days, only for me to pass on those trades when price reached the levels.
Why? well, because at the time prices arrived the profit margin on the trade was no longer acceptable for my style of trading.

On the EUR/NZD monthly i posted, please understand that whilst the structure of a zone is very very critical, you also have to consider what the definitions are for supply and demand. Again, i talked about this in the last webinar and in posts on the thread. Keep reading the thread, you will find it.

What do the wicks represent? traders, expressing their ideas of what is a good price and engaging in transactions at those levels.
What the other consideration is and a critical one is, how did prices leave that wicky monthly SZ. The only reason within the methodology that prices fell from that wicky area is that sell orders exceeded buy orders. That is the same for every Supply zone

I circled an area on that monthly chart? do you see why?
It is circled because the current month is not over and so because the S.A.D. trader knows and understands that anything can happen adn so price could rally for the rest of the month, i did not draw the lines in to consider the circled area a SZ yet.

In terms of the structural look of a zone compared to another one, please understand that whilst we look primarily for only 4 patterns, 2 that represent supply and 2 that represent demand, we do not work with the assumption that each one of those zones will look exactly alike. Far from it.
They can not.
Why? because whilst the patterns may be the same, the other conditions that go into creating those zones are NEVER the same, especially because the traders who create these zones are different each time, even if it is by one trader.

We will talk a bit more about this tonight.

Best wishes

Hello Fred. Good to meet you and welcome welcome to T.I.O.F
S.A.D trading is simple BUT like anything worth having, it is not easy, nor should it be.
Read through the thread, watch the videos, come to the webinars. You will learn it, no problem at all.

Welcome again.

best wishes

Hello quietrader,
You are correct about the zones you drew
You missed a monthly supply zone.
Please read my response above to swTrue where i talked about the EUR/NZD chart to see the reason why the SZ you missed out should not be ignored

best wishes

Hello everyone

A trading idea on the S&P500.
The trend continues to be up so nothing much to do than to look for buys
because that is the higher probability trade for now

best wishes

Wealth set up. Daily supply sitting in weekly (not fresh) and monthly supply at the round # of 88.00. Daily and Weekly trend is up. Daily demand at 81.00 - 81.58.

Hello babyminer. Welcome to T.I.O.F.
Good to meet you
Sent you a link via email and a PM about your other question

Best wishes

AUSUSD sell set up. Daily and weekly trend line was broke. We are now in a downtrend. Daily supply zone is 0.7540-0.7585. Two targets: T1 - 0.7366, T2 - 0.7220 (right above the weekly supply).

NOTE: Watch the arrival.

Hello babyminer
Welcome again to T.I.O.F

Your daily SZ is fresh

best wishes

Akt - agree, regarding the audjpy set up, there is a doji candle that is part of the weekly supply, that I purposely left out of my zone where price hit that level 3-4 times, indicating sellers. Even though it's not fresh, their might be more sellers above that level, as indicated on my daily supply. Thanks.

You have great webinar. I love it.

hi there akt. 1-how do you see eurusd in daily timeframe do we have some s.a.d zones in here to look for.
2-i like to know more about your webinars is there any recording of your webinars so we can watch the archives of webinars you made?

Hello hadi 20 ,Michael's channel on the YouTube "Storehouse Analytics"

Hello Guys, Hello Akt, thank you for yesterday's excellent meeting. A lot of fresh knowledge.

As i asked before I would like to get a short list of books or courses comprising intro to your approach.

First of course will be a studying a YT channel. I have also Mr Moreno's book. Is is a good idea to buy his course? I have more or less basics knowledge from Mr Seiden materials (although I have an impression that there is too much chaos for me. )

My thoughts on CADJPY D-4-1HR

Daily Trend/Mom up, over extended, hitting fresh SZ
4HR mom broken, may chop around a bit
1HR mom up, good approach to 1HR/4HR FSZ...

When have you missed the train? Can I look to hit this if it returns assuming approach is good?
