As a reply to the question in the original thread, and not to the deviations in the conversations following, I have experience with http://www.orderflowanalytics.com. I am new to this forum, but not new to trading, order flow, or OFA. In my experience, the way OFA teaches order flow is exceptional. It transformed the way I was trading from indicators and automated strategies, to a true understanding of a two sided auction process. I myself don’t utilize pure price patterns much, but do rely on chart structure, volume profile, and the tools of OFA. Those tools, I can guarantee, are dynamic and proprietary. There may be many strategies in trading based on order flow, but the applications of OFA are designed around a logic based strategy and translated into a visual interface. It’s that translation that cuts down significantly on the always required visual processing of trading. These strategies and the utilization of the applications can be taught. If someone doesn’t understand the value of that, then they won’t understand order flow anyway. Furthermore, there are additional tools available that address other aspects of trading that I know you cannot find anywhere else. No, OFA is not a Holy Grail of only selling highs/buying lows…nothing is. What OFA is, is the best and most efficient aid in the implementation of a logical trading strategy and method that you, as a responsible trader, find valuable. Then it adds a layer of trade management tools unseen anywhere else. I don’t usually participate in these forums/discussions because I find little value in the opinions of participants of an industry that is statistically filled with the unsuccessful. My advice with any trading room, software, course, etc., would be for someone as a trader, to be responsible for themselves, inquire profusely, understand completely, and then decide if valuable or not. If someone can’t or won’t do that…then I guess spending a ton of time in forums is as good as anything else they could be doing. ….in my humble opinion.
