Exactly, that's why it sometimes takes months to unwind the carry trade, we've seen what happens when it's done in panic! Apparently the cost of adverse movement as a position is unwound at a 'reasonable pace' is factored in. Research it? I was ...

Hi Porkpie Sure, support becomes resistance, visa versa, double/treble tops/bottoms, confluence etc etc etc.....not being funny but this is all stuff we've known about and traded for decades, what's any different this time round?

I wouldn't want to disappoint you so I'll chime! This is all after the event though, so we've seen price break out and rally and we're what, assuming banks are responsible? So what's to say where they intend to unwind their positions, there could be ...

Supply and demand are simply the mechanics, it's the motives of the people behind that supply and demand which the OP was focussing on, that's the 'who', 'why', and 'where' he was referring to in his opening post....

An interesting quote from that clip a minute and a half in.... "......there's young people who've made tens of millions of dollars and they're just..they don't know anything about what they're trading they just understood the pattern of the ...

Ohhhhh noooo, I feel a Fibonacci debate coming on..... Anyway, I'm off to count the steps between my keyboard and the coffee pot, but first I've got to understand the significance of the steps and their relation to the dynamics of the coffee, the ...

haha, makes perfect sense!

POLL: Do you use stops? If so, how large?

Gotta ask, what is "Zippy the Wonder Lizard RULES!!", lol

POLL: Do you use stops? If so, how large?

haha, now there's a few ideas Don't get me wrong, I think the thread is thought provoking plus the links have been really useful, it's just I always look for practical applications when something like this comes along and then look at the ...

lol, great description, but how would knowing how many stops were hit help us? It looks like the thread has gone from staring into 'white space' - to predicting price direction "because it has to go there, it doesn't have a choice" - to searching ...

Yep you're right, some very useful research and references, a buffet of educational material, from Scotty especially (I did in fact thank him for his efforts) I guess the thread has actually served a very good purpose and got people to look past ...

But the OP went further than that, "Scotty,you don't need the charts believe me." That's what has got some people on a data-finding mission and downloading fx futs demo platforms and forex spot demo platforms with broker's Level 2 data!

I think that's where the confusion started, people took 'read order flow' in the literal sense, a kind of viewable book with all the orders in, people are downloading fx futs demo platforms and forex spot demo platforms with broker's Level 2 data ...

I'm not disagreeing with you, charts are all I've ever used because they're all that's availbable as far as I know, unless someone wants to post something different. But I think bluefish is right when he said we don't know any quantifiable ...

Thanks Xaron, this should be an interesting thread as you obviously make this approach work for you successfully. I read the book a couple of times and although I liked the ideas and they made a lot of sense I could never get my head round them in ...

I have no idea what you know, posts should be judged on content not on volume or vouch's. The point I was making is that people are talking about watching order flow data but no-one has addressed the obvious problem with this idea.....there isn't ...

This is almost painful! Where exactly are you planning on getting this 'order flow' data which you're going to 'actually watch'? EBS? Reuters? Don't tell me, CME currency futures! Plenty of people talking up a good game here and trying to make it ...

lol, I admit I'm a slacker, but I hate wild goose chases I'd love you to spoil the ending for me, I really don't understand how you guys can use this stuff to guess (that's all it is, a wild guess) order flow in spot. Am I in the wrong forum ...
