Those who called the liquidity gap fill were right on target. A combination of retail stops grabbed .. retail unloading from the big pile in (big bubble shrunk drastically) and intermediate order flow was the clue. If you had the courage to start ...

If you don't think the Banks & MM's stalk the liquidity of retail.... look at the previous bubble post where retail was on the wrong side of GBPUSD and USDCAD, and look at the charts now. GBPUSD was a strong sell (because retail was heavily buying) ...

I want to point out, you no longer see EURUSD as a huge bubble, but it is tucked away behind AUDUSD and NZDUSD. This means that EURUSD may still be a sell but the majority of retail have now been stopped out. Short with caution. If I had to take a ...

If this was the case why wouldn't you just arbitrage the difference between brokers?

Yes I can trade with just naked charts (been doing this a long time). But I also learned that you need as much edge as you can get to increase your chance of success. In futures, you have the luxury of seeing how much volume is traded at any given ...

EURUSD has a downward bias based on orderflow - as you can see at current PA new stops were taken. But can't enter here for a sell side trade. I am waiting to see how retail positioning changes from Sunday to NY Close tomorrow, then I'll start ...

I also want to point out the liquidity gap that fxmir was talking about. It is the zone highlighted where buy orders were thin and price moved fast through. Volume profile traders would know this as the very thin area between distributions where ...

With a U.S. Holiday and most tradings desks being closed tomorrow - expect low liquidity. Also - Be cautious of news like the attached, it is quite misleading. Sure if you count this year and last year, then it is "multi-year", but it sounds a lot ...

Good Morning Traders, Where do you see EURUSD going next?

Here is some food for thought. This is retail positioning over time for this week. It is not as smooth playback as I'd like it to be because I had to remove a lot of in-between frames to get it under the FF 2MB upload limit, but you get the point. ...

Tinnitus, I trade with low leverage (I think that is the death of most retail). Typically my trades end up in the range of about 6:1 once scaled all the way in. Stops are large and are just for black swan events really. If price action/market ...

It's software that another trader and myself developed so we could track and analyze retail positioning over time. It's more important to know how retail positioning is increasing and decreasing over time - and how fast - than to just know the ...

AUDUSD and NZDUSD (currently overlapping) are in the strong sell area, and definitely trade-able. If I were to trade them I would just aim for sell side, looking at stops and using market structure to enter/scale in and exit/scale out. I choose ...

I agree and for many years I focused on horizontal zones for magnets to look at entries and exits and used PA for direction as you mention. I've tried many trading styles over the years and over time began understanding more and more how the market ...
