Quote from romik:
I still don't get it, looking at 1 lot sold, how do you know whether it is a short or a closed long position?
That is a great question and it does depend what is happening with price......but there are ever repeating patterns of order flow (market profile and market delta fundamentals). These repeated observations can easily and logically be claimed as new selling or new buying, which at the time is the dominant portion of the order flow. They key is to track the pockets of heavy volume (price levels) and watch if price returning to these levels shifts order flow to a positive or negative "net" delta. Price rejecting a key level is not caused predominantly by "covering" order flow.....it is caused by the "initiated" order flow group.
This is another reason to track and observe the days cumulative "delta".....this will always show which side has the most conviction for that day.
