I copied just the link to the page in you tube and this time it shows the preview just one time, you need to click on the full screen mode to see the details, also you should switch to HD resolution.

hello joshdance, thanks for your inteterst in the thread, I'm going to edit the post and just put just the link, I know that this way you can't see anything but you just have to put the video in full size... I posted all the video because maybe you could be interested on watch all the action, I'll try to put the place too.

another one, but it is from last december, I found it in my video folder, this time there is a huge wall at the high of the day, the wall is broken but just one tick and the market reverse minute 2.34 is where the action take place

Hello I just started a thread about "WALLS" and started to upload videos http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/trading-markets/12120-trading-wall.html

Hello, I often notice large orders at key levels, and the price SEAMS to get there more often than not, I always wandered if there is a way to trade this with an edge, so I decided to make videos of the DOM when I see these "WALLS", I'm not trading this and just want to receive the opinion of other people and want to track what I see. I noticed these WALLS in stocks, futures, these last weeks I'm following a cople of italian stocks (I'm from italy) and noticed that they often have "WALLS" at round number or high/low of the day, and I decided to make a video each time I see this. If you want to upload your videos too, this will be very apreciated. I recorded a first video today where I just include the DOM I will add time and sales and charts to the next ones. sorry about my english don't know why it posted the video twice

Do you still trade this setup? and if so do you manage to trade it for consistent profits? I would like to understand if it is a waste of time or not to study this. I am just interested in trading this large orders not in other dom/order flow setups. Today i noticed the same on a couple of italian stocks i follow, I would like to make some videos and post them in a new thread, will maybe start tomorrow.

So main reason that cause price to go to size is large size traders pushing the price in a certain direction, for various reason: these are a couple of thoughts about when the price breaks the wall, these are questions, just to know if I understood. 1) They want to short big size for a few ticks and they need small traders to buy from them, so they put large buy limit orders to encourage small traders to buy, the small traders buy from them, when they accumulated all the position they need they start to push price down to their big order where they cover and make money. So why the market then go down further? maybe because once they covered, there is no more size to support the price? so here the large traders are not interested in what will happen once they covered, they just want to cover, or maybe they covered just the first lot and maybe they will cover further down for a bigger profit? 2) they want the market to go further down so they show large buy limit orders, the small traders buys but suddenly the large traders pull the large buy limit order, small traders begin to short and other start to cover their long and the price goes down further. often I see those walls in the book, but they are never reached, what they want to do in this case?

yes maybe, but I see these walls also in the US market and it seams to have the same behavior, don't understand if those orders are taking profit orders or something else, I mean if they are long and they take profit there, why the market should continue to go up, I mean why they want to take profit knowing that the market has a big chance to go up? and if they want to be filled because they are opening a short position, why the market should go in the opposite direction, so it seam more taking profit.

Hi predictor, thanks for your replay, I will check your site, I'm just interested in how to trade the wall, because I see this a lot of time, I would like to learn about order flow but for what I read on the various forum there is a lot of noise due to algo trading and that it is becoming harder to trade this way. does anybody trade these walls? what is the best way to trade them? 1) as the wall start to be hit aggressivly enter just before it seams to be all filled and take profit a few tick after the break, stop a couple of tick before the wall. 2) enter as the price goes a little far from the wall as there is a big chance that the price will go there and maybe take profit 1 tick before the wall, but I don't have any idea on where to place stops. sorry for my english...

hello, does anybody know if there is a thread or a where can I find info about how to profit from large orders at key levels, I often see this happening and the market seams to go through those walls, is it possible to trade this with success? or maybe is just my mind that wants to remember only those times when the price go through the wall? thanks
