Another topic for an interesting discussion: Do you think certain Order Flow concepts are more vulnerable to becoming less profitable if a large number of retail traders would become aware of them? Let's take stop hunting for example. Obviously, it ...

Order Flow Trading

So you went short with the bias for Euro bearish and targeted the stops below the swing low? I'd say that qualifies as an OFT trade. Anyway, nice trade!

Oh, those stops below 1.2950 are screwed.

Order Flow Trading

Thanks for sharing this. It is another form of metagaming (thinking about the actions of your opponents), but I never thought about it in this way, reading it via the DOM. So you are focusing exclusively on DOM/Volumes, without any sentiment ...

Order Flow Trading

Exactly, without sentiment it would be simple breakout trading and we know all that this method will do rather poor over a longer timeperiod. I do not see the stops as the key factor for the method I apply, but rather as a way to determine ...

Order Flow Trading

Hi, I've been using the DOM mostly for entering trades/placing orders, but have not found much value in watching it. However, in futures we can see the price areas that traded with the highest volume. This can often be a good indicator where price ...

Order Flow Trading

Good point @ Unnamed. There are several patterns that can help us when stop hunting. For example, GBP/USD tends to trigger stops during the London Opening, especially if we had larger than usual volatility in the GBP-pairs during the previous Asia ...

Order Flow Trading

I agree - it's one of many methods that can be applied within OFT, but I found specializing in one method more efficient for my trading style. Sentiment reading/thinking about other players' actions is for me the most important component.

Order Flow Trading

Spot-on Robert, once we know which side (bulls/bears) is the weak one, we don't have to worry about a perfect entry. Being aware of OF, we just go with momentum. I don't want this to sound like I'm winning all the time (no one is), but I have a ...

Order Flow Trading

Sometimes it's being noted on news services like Thomson Reuters, but a more simple way to identify areas of large stops is identifying key support/resistance zones. for example, lets say a resistance zone gets hit three times and price fails to ...

Order Flow Trading

Some nice stop hunts today in the markets. EUR/USD had larger stops above 1.3150 and once we broke above 1.3110 there was a good probability we would clear them out. Bias took a turn and EUR was strongly bid. Even the reported ACB selling at 1.3090 ...

Order Flow Trading

Emerald and Seneca explained it already very well. I'm not talking about retail brokers hunting stops. They don't have enough capital to do such a thing and I think if they even tried, they would end up pretty badly. It's the large banks targeting ...

Order Flow Trading

Level 2 is a waste of time for FX as it is an OTC market. I havent found DoMs useful for my trading in general, but if you want to try it out, do it on an exchange-traded asset like ie futures. My approach is all about the stops and the weaknesses ...
