Cause & Effect of ALGO order flow

Use algo order flow analysis to hack market microstructure

“Deep understanding of the cause and effect relationships between algorithmic order execution and HFTs will become your edge over other naive traders.

The core concept of algo order flow strategies was developed based on my personal experience as an equity prop trader in the US and further research on the structural vulnerabilities of institutional execution algos due to information leakage.”

IS THIS RIGHT FOR ME?

The course packages are designed for all types of short-term traders who want to go pro(p)

You are a new to trading and committed to explore the opportunities the financial markets offer. Luckily, you have not been exposed to too much outdated or misleading information. You’re in the right place to plant a seed for a potentially very rewarding career as a trader.

Discretionary trading requires the most discipline but is also the most flexible for adjusting to changing trading environments. Understanding the market’s ecosystem gives you an edge over other traders competing for the same prize by anticipating institutional order flow.

Time horizon: minutes to hours

As a scalper you need to fully understand where you stand in this game of informed, partially-informed and uninformed (you) traders. HFTs own the short end and forecasting too far into the future requires information and resources you don’t have. Understanding algo order flow is your best bet to extract profits from other predators.

The trading pits died long ago but its outdated terminology and concepts survive to this day. It’s time to open your mind and replace the old with the new. Algorithmic trading drives the markets, so you owe it to yourself to get a better understanding of the difference between institutional versus HFT algos.

You are working on an automated system but you still struggle to differentiate range from trend periods. We know from physics that momentum = mass • velocity and this is exactly how HFT algos give themselves away when they detect toxic order flow. Learn more inside.

Time horizon: hours to days

You only want to take very selective trades per day or week and identify locations with favorable risk/reward. Learn how order execution algos react when prices move away from their benchmark to confirm trends or pre-emptively exit trades before your stop gets hit.
