That's great, Darkstar! I signed up on your site a while ago. Should we plan on receiving an email regarding ordering instructions? Congratulations!

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

Looks good so far, hilmy, way to go. I'll be watching with great interest. I have enjoyed your posts in other threads so I'm glad to see some examples of your trades. Best, relyt.

Gaming Rig Trading

I've been told it means "transferable contract". Not sure what significance, if any, it has for us, though.

That's the big question I have, also. And the best answer I've come up with is "it depends"

Are you suggesting that using option barrier information isn't a legitmate way to trade, or that we need to rethink the way in which we use that information in our trading?

Carnegie, this exactly what I've been trying to talk about with respect to options. I'm just a n00b here, but basically what you just typed is exactly what I've been trying out.

Sometimes it will say stuff as obvious as that right in the title, but there usually isn't a lot of that type of information coming out at 7:00pm ET. Like Monroe said, once it starts working properly, download all of the headlines from the day and ...

Exactly. Keep digging and you'll find the significant stuff, but Monroe basically identified what I consider to be the most important information on IFR.

Never mind, it looks like you found it on forexlive. That's too bad. I read the headline of that post but I didn't read all the way to the end of it where it mentioned the rumored 1.35/1.40 DNT. Oh well, live and learn.

Great info from everyone here. Thanks to each of you (Carnegie, Louie, Cindy, Monroe, etc.) Hm, I missed that one, also. Where did you see it? IFR, or elsewhere?

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

Thanks Monroe and Cindy. At least now I know that I'm not crazy (and not being ignored, haha). I appreciate your input. It seems like the exotics (barriers, knock-in's/knock out's/reverse knock out's, digitals, etc.) generate more activity, but ...

Thanks, Cindy. I have posted quite a few of my thoughts/questions about option barriers (in this thread, in other threads, and I even started a thread about it) but there has been no reply or very little reply. That tells me I’m either way off track ...

As an example of something that can impact order flow, a couple hours ago IFR said there is a large 82.25 option rolling off tomorrow. Since we have already seen price on both sides of that level today, does that mean that there probably aren't ...

Thanks for that post, grkfx, it was very helpful. Especially the part that I quoted above. I think I've been falling into the trap that I should be able to see opportunities more often than that. After reading that it makes this prior post of yours ...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll go back and re-read those posts by grkfx and DS. I have ordered Trading & Exchanges, it's on the way.

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

So we wait for price to deviate from its current perceived value and get in ahead of the value traders who are going to bring it back? That opens up all sorts of questions in my mind. Off the top of my head: How do we know what the perceived value ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

Thank you, havaiana. I actually went back and read through all of Darkstar's posts, and that was one of the posts that got me thinking along these lines. Thanks for reminding me of that post. I won't bump this thread again. If no one else is ...

How to use option expiration data for trading spot fx?

Bleek, I've followed a lot of your posts and understand you trade based on order flow concepts (even your title of "Parasitical Trader" suggests that you've read Larry Harris' work). Does your prediction about 3700 have anything to do with the fact ...

EURUSD

It looks like this chart is from last night/this morning. IFR said there was a DNT option with the topside barrier at 1.3720. So it looks like it was an option defense. I could be wrong, though.
