*Understanding Order Flow

What is Order Flow

The market exists because of buyers and sellers, and there can only be one “winner.”

At some point, traders must be closed by choice or forced liquidation when a stop loss is hit.

All price action that occurs on a chart is caused by positions being opened and closed!

Your beliefs determine when it is time to get in and out of the market, alongside the emotional response of pleasure and pain.

This idea of pleasure and pain exists within each individual because the market is neutral.

In Summary: Incorporating a deeper understanding of market Order Flow is key when positioning yourself prior to the movement happening, especially when identifying reversal opportunities. Buyers and Sellers create the Price Action we see displayed on our charts.
