Description

In this course, you will learn about real Market Mechanics at play.

Institutional order flow is a lesser-known concept, previously only available to banking professionals.

Topics covered:

  • How to recognise 'footnote' Supply/Demand levels around which you will plan the direction of your trades
  • How to determine if the area is strong or weak
  • Q Points© - proprietary concept and the missing link to S/D trading
  • How to wean yourself off bad habits and wild-man 'scalping'
  • How to apply real-time price action around the institutional Supply/Demand levels

The course will set you on an eye-opening path to determine whether your trade has enough 'space' for a statistically correct risk/reward ratio ((the amount you risk vs the expected amount of taking profits).

Institutional order flow is used on Daily, Weekly and Monthly timeframes.

It is NOT an intraday trading tool.

If you're looking for intraday trading, then you will need to pair up Supply/Demand analysis with Market Profile analysis (market profile relies on order flow information from 15 and 30min timeframes - a very different way of looking at session-specific price action and day-to-day sentiment).

Please see our Market Profile course.

The reason why S/D levels on large timeframes are so efficient is because there is so much trading information that goes on into creating a move visible on a large timeframe - this usually happens over longer periods of time.

But also because institutional traders need deep liquidity pools to execute huge institutional orders that go into thousands of lots (we're talking positions in excess of $300-500 million).

Intraday trading on these sorts of lot sizes is near-impossible without highly powered machines and speed of execution that requires direct market access and highly liquid 'thick' financial products (such as S&P500, eurusd, etc).

In order to save on execution costs (to ensure the order is filled in as little trades as possible), institutional market makers will move the price up or down by using some of the allocated funds to bring the price to the levels where the huge several thousand lots orders can be filled in a cost-effective way.

You will learn how to spot these big players on medium and larger timeframes.

This course creates an introduction for an organised trading mind and a systematic, repeatable approach to finding trade locations at levels where institutions trade.

The methodology of market mechanics through Supply/Demand can be applied to most markets, but is best used in liquid products with a decent momentum. Currently those conditions apply to cryptocurrencies, single stocks (tech/commodities are best) and some forex cross pairs such as GBPNZD.

But keep in mind that at the moment, forex is suffering from low interest rates across the globe, which makes swing trading in forex unsuitable due to lack of momentum - we need a continued momentum in the same direction for several days/weeks without too many neutral-looking days.

Therefore: single stocks, cryptocurrencies and energy stocks are currently better suited for swing trading and investing.

Who is this course for?

  • Traders who are struggling to reach profitability

  • Traders interested in supply/demand institutional trading strategies

  • Swing traders who are looking to advance their skills further

If you're looking for a get-rich-quick, "simple" trading system then our courses are not for you.

Trading is neither simple nor easy. While this high income skill has the potential to bring windfalls to certain individuals who are emotionally resilient and analytical enough to keep going, it remains one of the toughest skill to master.

You must have some previous trading experience and a very good skill of candlesticks reading.

While this course may be used by beginners, it is best suited for those who have already traded for a while (ideally 1 year+).

Ideal students will be looking to advance their skills to a more serious level by adding an analytical approach to their trading performance.

You will require patience, persistence and high analytical skills without self-deprecative behaviours. Because of this, for some people, big changes to your own behavioral psychology will be needed on this journey.

If you wish to move forward with your trading skills, enroll now.

See you on this inside!

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
