The more i think about it the less sens it makes. if i were a big institutional trader i would use iceberg to hide my big orders from BOTs and other traders, they won't show in the market depth but they'll be visible when executed, if i wanted to get more stealthy i would spread those orders...

Isn't orderbook trading successful?

I think the price is a fight between sellers and buyers, watching the Order flow will only show you the current status of the fight not the outcome. A bit like watching a football match, anything can happen till the last minute but by then it will be too late to place your bet. It get even...

Definitely, sadly i'm not one of em :(

Thank you for your input, i really appreciate. Like i said in the previous post i'm not looking for some trading/life philosophy nor a "holy grail". i'd like to have a debate about orderflow and the BOT dominance in it. i personally think human/retail can't compete, thats just my opinion. I'm...

No offense but that sounds like some motivational crap you feed to newbies. i don't think i fall in that category, i'v been trading Forex for 8 years and recently been looking into Futures and the wonders of the DOM, Spoofing, iceberg orders... i'm not looking for a pat on the back, i'm here to...

Many ex pro-traders are proposing seminars and webinars to teach retail traders about it, obviously not for free. There are also payed platforms built specifically for that type of trading, ATAS, Bookmap, Jigsaw, ....etc. But i can't help thinking that there is no edge in it, if the only thing...

looks like a Reuters terminal to me, but its hard to tell the difference. it cost a leg too.

this was an example. clearly, you have more money than brains so go ahed. "a fool and his money are soon parted" good luck with your "trading"

looks like a huge waste of money to me. you could be making millions on a mobile phone if you know what you're doing. its like buying a truck for your every day shopping.

where did you get that from ?

i was skeptic at first then i just lost all interest after watching the image in the first post. no one smart enough to be a successful trader would take a picture of a screen, that's just ..wew (to be polite) o_O. also, demo account and the MT4pleb platform were the last nail in the coffin...

forexfactory ....good luck, have fun with all the millions you're gonna make :D

thanks for the answers, everyone. however having more experience with Forex, i'd prefer to stick with it for now. after some research it seem that the only way to have a lower execution time would be to be a bank and deal directly with other banks.

I'm running on a VPS with 5ms from my broker's server. the latency come from their servers, from the moment my order is revived to their server to the moment it actually gets in the market it takes 50ms on average and up to 400ms during news times. i don't know if their server is just saturated...

i'v asked this question on various other forum with no luck. it seems that nobody seem to know the answer, so i'm trying my luck here. i assume most of you are experienced traders. my trading strategy requires low latency, however my brokers mt4 has on average a latency of 50ms to execute...
