I've been seeing some interesting patterns in the DOM using both the limit order book and the order flow and matching them up with the theory found in the literature, and with what my traditional charts are saying. If you have a DOM display and are ...

I wasn't aware that it had been already discussed but yes you surmised correctly. I think there was a post here on FF a while back that discussed the economics of why banks have a vested interest in blabbing about certain customer orders, and this ...

I must have read the same paper because I came to the same conclusion. Through the standard sources there is no spot order flow information. There may be some institutional datafeed that I'm not aware of, but there is public info available in the fx ...

Thanks — There have been some interesting things posted in this thread. I think there is enough information in the posts and in the reading to fill in the gaps in anyone's education about how the market operates. Because that's what is really ...

pipmutt: You should really break down and read your self imposed homework assignment. slacker! That would clear up a few things with regards to who is doing the heavy trading in the fut currencies and why you should care. I don't want to spoil the ...

ForexFlash, good points and yes that's where the focus should be headed - the chart as a guide but the order flow to help interpret what's actually going on. It's one thing to suppose that stops are getting hit in an area due to TA, history or ...

In the spirit of capitalist's plain spoken language, I want to add to point #2 (below). The OP's charts show where stops have actively been triggered as a result of this apparent (but later to be proven false) breakout. Where are the stops? The ...

It's easy to be distracted by the sideshow. The basic principles explained in this thread regarding order flow, how to interpret it, the different types of orders and participants, and how to profit from this knowledge IMO is the gold herein. It's ...

Thanks for the great thread! This is what is going on as a constant subplot under the surface. I think this type of analysis would be regarded as "technicals driven" price movement. pipmutt: I'd be interested in seeing a better example chart - or ...

That looks bad, very bad for IdealPro and other free (non MM) markets, ECNs. Maybe IB can get around these crazy leverage limitations by forming a subsidiary company that isn't a broker dealer and put IdealPro into that corporation.

I think people need to keep in mind that what is presented here in this thread isn't the gospel (aka a mechanical system), but rather a lens for seeing opportunities in the markets. Nobody but Edge can replicate Edge's results because much of that ...

Good Post. As some others have pointed out, Nitro is primarily a momentum strategy. When we enter we play for continuation of a move. We really don't need indicators and we don't need Renko bars either, both are just crutches to get us to recognize ...

I've used Constant Range Bars or CRBs for quite a while. They draw differently but bottom line is that with CRBs you get more side by side bars than with Renko charts of the same length. You need to use about a 20 pip CRB to model a 10 pip Renko due ...

This is my first post in this thread. I'll be as direct as possible. First, thanks to Edge for his groundbreaking work on presenting a simple, effective pair of ideas for trading / scalping the FX markets. Props for sharing and moreso for pointing ...

I've done some testing on this basic strat and some variations, not in MT4. It needs very strict rules. The results from my testing weren't stellar. YMMV
