Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

Not to sound too critical.... Personally, everything was said even before the previous thread was open. Everything was already contained in DS' posts..all the hints et al. So, it was kind of hypocritical on the part of the previous thread owner to ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset - Part 2

The bids and offers still puzzle me. If I were to read IFR bids and offers...say for EU, what should I really looking for. I know in UY the major players are exporters. But what about EU? ACB are major proponents ? I am asking this because I dont ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

I have some questions here: 1. What gaps are we talking about? 2. You stick on to bids/offers from IFR for over a week? Even if thats the case, how do you decide which one is worthwhile? If we were to list out all the IFR bids and offers, I am not ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

Confused about stop hunting

Noloqy, from my perspective that is a true stop hunt. It is a fradulent practice. I think the other part being discussed here is more of a order hunt as it might/might not amount to a true stop hunt.

Confused about stop hunting

Ah! the legend of the hidden thread. FF's own myth. Yes, there was a thread called "Ohh Sweet liquidity". But with all respect to DS (he has helped me look things differently) the myth of hidden money in orderflow is just funny. Read his post again, ...

Confused about stop hunting

I think stop hunting is a bit of a misnomer. It implies people are looking only for stops (as in stop loss). I think it is more like order hunting. Hunting to get a better price to be in/out of a trade. Market makers are just market makers..they ...
