    in markets what else are you going to open your minds to?
    to most modern-day traders that is a rhetorical question.

    volume? order flow? elliot waves? Fibonacci? indicators? bollinger bands? ema? with the exception of order flow i have tried all of that.

    not many things can happen.

    market move, pull back and then move again past the previous extreme: high or low.

    or market moves pb and then the pb continues and becomes the trend

    market does either of these two things all the time

    Hi Padu,
    I saw you are a guy with a lot of free time. Bear, afternoon nap.. Try order flow and footprint charts.
    This is what distinguishes between 2 identical bars..
    Good luck.

    First, OP seems to be fixated on asking these rhetorical questions. I wonder if she even trades.

    In any case, to get back to your claims, I suggest you think about the possible price movement. Price can only go up or down. From these there can be only 4 possible outcomes:
    1. UP-UP
    2. UP-DOWN
    3. DOWN-UP
    4. DOWN-DOWN
    Everything hinges on those four possibilities.

    order flow is leading but you have no clue how much it leads by.

    so it misleads

    i like simple. stay in the present. price is NOW

    Not orders that sitting to be executed. Orders that were executed. footprint charts not the DOM
