I'm watching T&S of CME eu futures, I am having some interesting thoughts about the sales being posted and the effect on price (and liquidity), but I can get a clear thought in my head! I feel like something is speaking to me, but having a hard time ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

Watching the T&S on euro futures at the CME, lots of large sell orders coming through, then price pushes up again on single contracts (a few doubles) and then more large contracts come through on the sell side. Anyone have any idea what that means? ...

I want to buy some silver bullion but I am having a hard time pulling the trigger, I keep looking at silver chart and thinking "this thing has to correct at some point". But I would not be surprised if it just keeps going.

Bye Bye to GOLD and SILVER?

In my opinion the two are one in the same! Just work through it man, come to grips with the fact that it might take a little bit of time. We have all been there...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset - Part 2

He is just going through the process. I was not surprised when he closed the thread, it was almost obvious to me that he was going through a rough patch in regards to his trading / mindset. I saw a great quote a few weeks ago that jumped out at me ...

Some think so, but I'm sure those who know are not ever going to just come out and say everything.

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset - Part 2

So I am trying to understand something I have read in TwotD. He talks about what he believes to be the fundamental driving force behind movements in markets, the urge to maximize total return. So I got to thinking, on a very basic level, around ...

Been going through "The Way of the Dollar" again this month. As well as more Darkstar posts, and a book on basic econ. Feeling a bit of information overload. I feel like I am doing the same things I was when I started trading, only instead of ...

Oanda is making a market for you and the other traders that trade with them, but it's my understanding the prices come from the interbank market. Meaning oanda prices HAVE TO follow the real market. What moves the real market? Orders! I'm trading a ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

If you read his past posts he has brought up several books to read. I'd just give you list, but what fun would that be? Ok so I'm not considered a complete jerk, one he mentioned was The Way of the Dollar. I am reading it and it's a good book IMHO. ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

I think part of the problem is the foundation that needs to be laid before one can read the posts in this forum that give away the clues. Without that foundation, it's not just going to pop out at you. grkfx is posting partial ideas (heck, maybe ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

Hey Tilt, I don't think I can be of much help. Getting to know myself (and facing things I had been avoiding for so long) only came after I could no longer stand the emotional pain and turmoil trading was causing me. Laying on the bed in a ball ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

I like the idea of working on your strengths, but I think it would be a mistake to ignore your weaknesses. Strengthening our weaknesses is where the greatest opportunity for personal improvement comes from. If I am a great three point shooter but I ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

I think it's safe to say everyone goes through what you are Carnegie. Trading broke me about 19 months ago, and I'm thankful for it everyday now. Trading is going to show you things about yourself that nothing else will, and you won't be able to ...

Thats the book I bought, a good read so far.

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

You know, a year ago I would have jumped all over that data feed, bought the service and wasted a few weeks trading it, hoping it would be my holy grail. Now I just chuckle. Thankful I'm not sucked into traps like that anymore (well, besides DS' ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

Hey, how many of you all have read The Way of the Dollar? I ran through it once a few months ago and I have started it again. DS recommended it in one of his posts a few years back. In terms of achieving the orderflow mindset, did anyone find this ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

some more content gleaned from other posts that I want to keep track of: ------ The one theme that runs through all these is future market flows. As long as I have a valid reason why traders will join me, (at some point in the future) I can trade. - ...
