And the rest is, you know… quite complex.

All traders use charts that carry their gameplan left to right. Most traders use statistics that give height to what they see on the charts. Very few, if any, have the skill set of reading order flow, which adds a completely new dimention to your trading. You are reading charts, you know your stats, but also listening to what the language of the market is telling you at that exact moment as to whether the stat and chart will successfully complete your idea.

Reading order flow comes from watching the same market for thousands and thousands of hours. You start to internaize and are able to do two things:
1. Acting on implicit knowledge; and
2. Identify nuances of price behavior.

When you have the skill set of reading order flow, you know in your gut for reasons your conscious mind cannot necessarily explain, if the chart and stat will successfully complete itself based on how the market is moving. Charts/Stats are explicit, knowing unconsciously and acting on it is implicit. Scientifically, your body will respond to information before it reaches your consious mind. You can tune into, and act on, that as an edge. It is a skill intentionally built over time.

If you are really good at reading order flow, you should be able to see and distinguish how the actual DOM is flipping and how the lines on your chart are actually being drawn, and if that is an opportunity or a danger. It's a skill set of seeing nuances in PA and how it moves. You start to see the iceburgs, growlers, and TWAP order releasing algos in the market to either get involved where the charts and stats say to, or stay out. Being able to understand nuances, very small changes in PA, is an edge. Example: chop, chop, chop, chop, (you notice PA nuance behavior then becomes tighter and more controlled), leads to breakout-->get on board now. Very specific skill to identify that shift.

The most difficult thing about day trading is the game changes all the time. Your edge comes and goes. When you recognize and develop reading order flow as an extremely valuable skill, you can morph your strategy with any maket condition, sequence, or regime.

Very few people on fintwit talk about this. For me, I consider being able to read order flow a 3rd dimension to my edge, next to #1 Charts and #2 Statistics.

Over thousands of hours, you learn to recognize nuances in how the charts are actually being drawn, and how the DOM is actually moving, actually flickering.

Also, you must have a brain that is able to process information quickly. Reading order flow, tape reading, is knowing what the market behavior is telling you by HOW it's moving -what I call being "price action fluent", and understanding how market microstructure, the dynamics of how the stock market works (at certain times of day for example) and orders are fed thru the matching engine, you implicitly pick up patterns in order flow.

It takes your edge from charts and stats, a 2D view, to more of a holistic 3D, cube perception with more depth.

The national debt didn't become a problem overnight.
It became a problem one "temporary" deficit at a time.
The 2020s are on pace to be the most fiscally reckless decade in U.S. history.

The Fed expanded the money supply by over $9 trillion under Jerome Powell.

Inflation has averaged >4% per year over the past 6 years.

Powell's explanation? It was nearly all due to rolling “supply shocks" over which the Fed has no control.

The truth: this inflation was made in Washington as it always is - from too much government borrowing/spending and too much government creation of money.

I have been seeing a lot of people posting about how bad the price action has been lately, specifically in the indices, more specifically in NQ. Here is the thing... one strategy traded one specific way, does not fit ALL market regimes. Do not make the mistake of thinking the strategy you trade in a trending market can be traded the same exact way with the same risk profile in say a high volatility range market regime. You will get eaten, like many are lately, and it will just drain both financial and mental capital.

Have a contingency in place for when regimes change. Execute a different strategy, or avoid trading. Be able to identify the regime as well. Know when a strategy works, and when it doesn't. This is something covered in the coaching provided through https://t.co/fGgQW2fYLP.

And the final tell. The money arrived all at once.

Semiconductor ETFs just took in the largest weekly inflow on record. A spike that dwarfs everything in the chart's history, including 2021 and 2022.

This is what tops are made of. Not weakness, euphoria. Record price, record volume, record buying, all in the same week.

O'Neil had a name for it: a climax top. The CAN SLIM playbook teaches that after a long advance, a stock or sector goes near-vertical on its heaviest volume ever, the biggest weekly gains of the entire run. That's not accumulation. That's the last buyer rushing in.

22% of the index. A 5-sigma momentum overshoot. A parabolic third leg. Record inflows.

History doesn't repeat. But it has shown us this exact picture before, and it rarely ends with another leg up.

When everyone is finally certain, there's no one left to buy.
