You need to think out of the box! It is more of a trader's mindset than a specific trading method, which is why there is no clear definition. It seems more complicated as it really is, because it requires a deeper understanding about other market ...

I invite you to take a look at the following threads: url url Reading a few pages should be enough for you to see that there is a lot more behind it than DOM trading. There is no set definition for order flow trading, but I call my strategies ...

Sorry, but that is nonsense. Order flow trading is much more than DOM trading and can be applied in any market, whether FX Spot or Futures. You don't even need volume data to apply OFT concepts. Check out some of the old threads about OFT here on FF ...

Regading the George Soros example, it is very likely he built his short position earlier and decided to make it public ahead of the RBA meeting. It was on every financial news page, from Reuters to Bloomberg and the FT, and he looked like a genius ...

I think most professional individual traders trade futures instead of the FX spot market. If you have quite some capital in your account, there are several major advantages in futures over the FX spot market. So in the FX market there are ...

Thanks for sharing, those are great videos, especially the one from Chris Lori. I haven't looked at price from that certain perspective yet, but after watching Lori's video it is clear those inefficiencies happen quite frequently. However, it would ...

The entry zone would be hard to predict, but the target zones for the FX dealers would mostly be stops. So I would not describe stop hunting as simple S/R trading because there are other important components like sentiment reading. If we are going ...

That refill trade is exactly what I meant. I agree that it is very hard to predict, but when they occur, especially if the move goes against prevailing sentiment, it can provide nice, high prob trades. One example when it is predictable is the ...

What do you OF traders think about liquidity vacuums? Some suggest they are not exploitable to retail traders, but I think they are and we don't even have to use the very short timeframes to trade it. The best way to trade them is to wait for a ...

That's a great trade. I would've been a bit worried buying into that decline, there was decent momentum, but he was obviously quick to see it was a stop hunt without any fundamental reason behind it. Good example of an OF trade.

A general question to the other OF traders that apply stop hunts in their trading: Do you prefer trading the key supply/demand levels and target the stops in the direction of sentiment or enter on momentum as it is already near the stops? Although I ...

Hi, You mentioned that you use the DOM a lot in your trading and that you trade on a very short timeframe, right? How do you read the markets with all the short-term "noise" that is produced? Is there anything specific how you filter your trades? ...

Back to the topic of whether too many people being aware of OFT would do damage to the overall method: I think the answer is NO, because there are far many ways to apply OF methods. Even if a lot of traders would use a certain strategy (i.e. stop ...

So you determine that they longs got trapped based on watching PA on the DOM? Seeing that there is too much supply and longs are unable to move price higher even on decent volume?

@ Bene: Well, it's a zero-sum game, the purpose is to earn your profits from the losing side. However, I found targeting specifically the larger cluster of stops at highs/lows a method that works for me. But if you can trade those "shakeouts" ...

I haven't been that active in the forums, but my perception is that still many retail traders are not really aware what stop hunting truly is about. It is a bit like "coyotes at a bone", but consistency does wonder. One just has to have the patience ...
