A few years ago I used FXCM and now use Oanda. The two, FXCM then, and Oanda now, do not have the same detail of order flow information.
In the past, FXCM IFR info had quite a bit of detail on several different pairs. The way they delivered it was different as well. Much more detail than you can find on Oanda IFR now and in a much better format. Oanda IFR has their order flow somewhat buried in text. FXCM IFR was more in a table format as I recall. Maybe FXCM IFR is still doing their order flow info that way. You need to have a live account, I believe, to access FXCM IFR.

This info included where buy and sell orders were "placed". I use quotation marks because the statements were a bit vague and went something like this:
'Stops seen above 95.00' . or like this 'A sovreign name thought to be buying Euros".
When I discussed this with Darkstar's mentee, Mike .. Mbqb11, about 2 months ago, he said that the IFR order flow info was not something that he used.

Taken from the above:

"Spot (cash) forex is a decentralized market and usually does NOT include volume with each trade. This affects the Footprint chart within MarketDelta and related volume based studies (Volume breakdown indicator) because they require volume in order to work properly....

...Monitor the trades NOT volume....

The link opened to a blank page. Tried it a few times... same result.
