All I've seen is the Intro, Louie. I think that's what they're referring to.

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

To be honest, I'm not the right person to ask about that. I've been dedicating pretty much all of my time to the exotic option levels and, as you can see, I'm still a novice when it comes to that. If I have any thoughts about your question, I'll let ...

Thanks seagreen, sounds like something I just need more experience with, and eventually I will get a "feel" for it. Yeah, option calendar is almost always vanilla options only. Sometimes they'll have exotic options on there (usually marked with ...

Thanks, seagreen, that is very helpful. But my question still remains, at what point are you pretty sure that the hunters are pushing for the level (without being too late to get in on it)? Is it something that you just have to witness over and over ...

I think you guys are both saying the same thing, and that is to trade with the hunters while they're trying to take out the option level (please correct me if I'm wrong). But the big problem I run into is, when do I enter? For example, on March 3 ...

Awesome, thanks guys. So you both cite PA. And Monroe, I like your question of when it's happening, also. eurotrash, would you mind giving an example of the PA you would expect to see if it was only about the stops? My guess would be: ...

I actually have a bit of time right now, so I'll post some thoughts. I recently made the following two posts, and that is what my post will be about: Trading with the hunters and liquidating into the stops: I have no idea here. Even when I know ...

Well, I just now got back to my computer and see that the 4150 barrier was taken out, but then it shot through to 4180. Now we are back down into the 4160 range. E/U took out a few barrier levels today (at 4100, 4125, and 4150), but I'm still not ...

Noted. I appreciate the comment. I was planning on waiting until the barrier was broken and seeing what the action was right when the stops were hit. Not planning on just blindly placing a limit order at 1.4155 or anything. As we get into the ...

Is anyone watching E/U today? I was waiting for the 4150 barrier to be taken out and maybe enter when the stops are hit, but the barrier is still intact. The hardest thing for me right now is just being patient.

It looks awesome so far, Darkstar! I can't wait for the rest of it to be ready. Thank you so much for sharing the intro.

No problem, DS. You don't owe us anything. We're very grateful for everything you've done already. Take a breather, get some rest. Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to it when it's ready.

Great, thanks. That's another approach that I've been tinkering with lately. Have a nice weekend!

UP, could you elaborate? To me, it seems like fading the defenders and fading the hunters are mutually exclusive. In other words, if you're fading the defenders, then you're trading with the hunters. I guess you could be suggesting to fade the ...

There are several possibilities: 1. The option will expire before price gets back near that level 2. Price gets back near that level and the option writer (with help from stop hunters) successfully takes out the level 2a. The stops above the level ...

A Darkstar posting spree, plus we might get to see the intro to the book on Monday? I feel like a kid in a candy store.

I could be way off on this one, but looks like there might be a defense going on in EUR/USD. I think there is a low barrier of 3775 on a DNT option. Like I said, I could be wrong, but it could be something interesting to watch if you're able to.

For now, the knowledge of exotic option levels/expiries is enough to keep me busy. Agreed Ditto

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

I'm new to this, but could you (or grkfx, or DS...) explain to me why this was obviously the best play for orderflow traders? I'm not being sarcastic, I really want to learn. I got short at 1.3830 on Thursday evening (NY time) because I felt pretty ...
