Hello - Yes, I use stops - more of a catastrophic stop i.e. 25-50 ticks. I manage the trades myself - if it's bad, it's bad, I get out. With a 10 tick PT, you have to have a high win number because the losses can add up. The order flow numbers tell the story - when it reverses, which the NQ does very fast, get out.
Anyone knows that order flow is something that falls more into discretionary trading. Those who usually prefer a discretionary approach could adapt better.
Taking into consideration the context of an already known asset is more than fundamental.
For a novice to mechanically trade simple buy/sell imbalances could be dangerous and frustrating. It is super easy to be misled and overstimulated by all the many "big green/red numbers" that flow constantly.
New micros(MES) trader here. I finished No bushtit trading course and of course it peaked my interest into Order Flow. The problem is I am on Tradestation(plus I have Tradingview) and I dont want to switch to another platform(spend more money).
It appears that no free order flow tools exist on Tradestation and Tradingview? Any other alternatives to supplement charts trading(I base my trading on al Brooks course)?
Is it even worth it for micros trader(mostly scalping?
Why one of the top brokers(Tradestation) would completely ignore Order Flow?
Tradeovate and Multicharts.net have both for free. But you have to open a brokerage account with them (Amp for multicharts).
Order flow is a big part of my trading. It's kind of like looking behind the curtain at what's really going on. That said, I try to keep it simple with order flow, mostly just using cumulative delta to confirm price support/resistance levels (basic technical analysis and Volume Profile) as price moves away in one direction.
I currently use NT8 with the order flow suite. Paid $1300 for it.
How would you review no bs course? Did you buy beginner and intermediate as well? Is it up to date?
I was thinking Ill buy it
And Im trading MES. Scalping is not really worth it in micros. But im learning. As soon as I will be constantly profitable Ill switch to mini. Scalping is nice but still run a bigger winner is nicer
I seems OK but he is trading Bonds futures and it works not the same like MES. Also, the course is dated, most material done in 2016(?) and many order flow tools available now are not described.
