It's all relative to a certain degree. Orders on a 1 minute timeframe will have relative results to orders on a larger timeframe. I mainly trade game theory in relationship to orders, and like I've told many other traders, it's something very hard ...

OFT's edge will never fully "expire", even if the entire world was trading based off of orders. There's so much orderflow information to process, so many different agendas, so many different motives, that it will forever stay in motion. For ...

Order Flow Trading

Correct. And that's the mindset you need to have to trade those swings that are 'impossible' to trade

Order Flow Trading

Here's an example today in the ES: url White box shows liquidity takers who get trapped, wanting to break the highs. (liquidity on the supply side is too much to consume) Red box shows those longs liquidating. Trade the cause, liquidate the effect.

^this It's not as impossible as some make it out to be guys. Like I've said before, pick up a DOM and T&S, and learn about the flows of inventory. You get a pretty good idea of how inventory exchanges hands from losing traders and liquidity ...

Are you saying 'shake outs' happen 80-90% of the time. Or fading highs / lows are referred to as shakeouts.

Order Flow Trading

Stop hunting is more intricate than just fading highs and lows, that's where most retail traders seem to fail. When you start to understand that 80-90% of market swings are traders losing, on any time-frame, that's when it becomes a different ...

I don't pay attention to sentiment, other than standing on the sidelines when impactful news comes out. As far as screen time, yes it does take a lot of screen time, it's no different feeling than a job to me. I usually trade from NY open to 15 ...

The DOM + Tape show the volume / liquidity relationship within price. Think of it like this, say we're reaching intermediate highs, and we see a bunch of offers being hit on the DOM (market buy orders coming in), however, the offers are able to ...

Stop hunting is such a vague and cryptic term these days. That is NOT all there is to orderflow trading imo. A better way to visualize the stop-hunting process is to think about what is happening in terms of auction theory: it's value trading. It's ...

Vee, the way I get around the FIFO bs is by having two sub-accounts via Oanda. They use units rather than lots (100000 units being $1 per pip. 100001 units being $1.001 per pip etc). I use one sub-account primarily for longs and one for shorts. ...

I was not able to start making money until I FULLY understood what was making the market tick. VSA was an excellent start, but it still leaves your understanding of market concept (liquidity, inventory transition, imbalances, etc. etc.) in the dark. ...

I still feel like a POS...

Personally I've found time-frame(s) to be relative. If you can trade a 100 tick successfully you can also trade a monthly successfully. I use smaller timeframes intraday, and do weekly analysis during lunch time. Same strategy, same results. If it ...

Time Frame Vs Personality, Which to choose as Main Time Frame? Who Are You?

Unloading some inventory into obvious stops on the GU now, the short worked out decent. Orderflow can be traded a million and a half ways guys, you just have to understand the mechanics to make a system out of it. Imbalance and inventory, imbalance ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

Same event has happened on the GU. Usually want to see rejection from the imbalance to continue to hold. Imbalance/Inventory grab in action.

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

Order vacuum, or price hitting a previous imbalance in the market coupled with an inventory grab? Food for thought.
