Thank you alex, and I will succeed. As a side note, Mr Bean has just made a laughing stock out of a select group in the front row. After 22 laughs, it was time to get up and leave the cinema. How many do you think will work this one out ?
"The animals in the wild, exhibit this trait" Animals observe a strict order in their groupings ! "not in the correct place !" wrong order ! "when you join this group, you will be very limited to what you can do" A holy order !
Order Flow - is the measurement of buying and selling pressure. Is this the definition you are using? thanks
Yes, understanding Order Flow is a basic necessity for successful trading. Can you imagine someone going on holidays, in the sahara desert, and not bringing any sun block ! This is what trading is like, without fully understanding Order Flow. It will not be very long before you are "burned" alive !
My comments were manual trading oriented. Actually since I'm assigned to the third row, hoping for a window or to be near the door, I do take notes on your comments. Reread them from a manual point of view to understand there is not a slippery slope involved. Big money is not agile; my comments show how agile the retail amateur is able to trade with out the constraints of big money and with the big money pushing positions on the occasions when that is possible.
I tend to make general statements, so apologies cd23. It is very hard for an Elephant to go unnoticed, but a lot of ants, due to their "size", just get trodden on, and it is always safer for them to get behind the Elephants, than in front of them.
Yes Blowfish, but getting close to a fill, and getting a fill, are not the same either. Limit orders have their place, and should be used when, and as required. But, we move too fast, and must slow down as we might confuse the confused. I have one more pupil note to post.
Pupil No.2 Note below. My answer is: Before you trade, you must first understand Order Flow, and what happens when The Generals decide to place / adjust some big positions in the market. This is the start of the game, and most players don't even know about it, and they then wonder why it is the market seems to always go against them, very shortly after they are filled. Note 2. you wrote the following The Generals control the majority of liquidity that flows in and out of the financial markets on a daily basis. Daytraders and Swingtraders, the majority of whom frequent public forums like ET, are but a drop in the ocean, and if all of them were prevented from trading tomorrow morning, it would have but a minuscule effect on market liquidity. thus if i am playing the pink stocks or otcbb where retail is the majority - should i try to gleam the opposite from your thread? did not post in the thread for obvious reasosn as everyone would just thrash it and get off track thanks __________________ I don't know what I am supposed to know about trading - point me in the right direction please
