I hear that!

Nice to not have another thread about analyzing lines on the surface of the water.

Thanks!

No problem. These are things that not only bear repeating but, need reinforcement. They are starting to make their way into my skull.

Thanks!

Of course not - you need stochastic. LOL!

Any comments on the post below? It seems like there are some posts that aren't really in agreement with it:

Sorry if it's been covered and I missed it. I'm trying to keep up with the thread. If you could help point me to the post(s)... Thanks People!

Not jumbled at all, J.

Thanks for sharing it.

The more that I study stuff like what's in this thread - granted, I don't understand or necessarily agree with it all 100% - the more I see that it's really very practical and not that hard to implement. Just like you've shown in your post. Let's put it this way... I've gotten one hell of a lot better at my trading since I've started to move this direction. Of course, I'm still just getting started.

It's very helpful. Of course, to see the order placement in advance would be great. But, to be looking at the chart with the intention of letting the orders reveal themselves as the market runs into them and then draws others on the sidelines in (or not) is still good. Yes, you're chasing the price a bit I suppose but, it's working a hell of a lot better than what I was previously trying to work with - indicators and Grails.

Thanks to all posters!

This is really the only option for me as a small-time trader anyway - and all I need if I keep at it.
I just need to keep my charts and my head completely uncluttered and work on my skills.

Thanks for the exchange of ideas today, guys!

The forum's been having a real dry spell lately - unless you count the astrology thread -

Just another term that is subject to wide misinterpretation around here.

I won't show how i spot institutional orderflow but here is a cause for thought:

http://corp.bankofamerica.com/public...ets/agencyalgo
This was a good link that you posted earlier.

Really massive pools associated with these algos, no doubt!

The "white paper" section of the site also has some nice stuff (e.g. Algo Approach) to see how institutional trading is done.

I appreciate your posts - you know what the hell you're talking about. Thanks!

On the contrary.

Okay, we could have done without that one maybe.

Still lots of good posting in this thread going on.
