OFTC Lesson 17 - Order Flow Continuation Setups

Michael Valtos teaches an order flow trading course based on strategies he has developed over 20 years of trading futures. The lesson discusses order flow continuation patterns to identify when a trend is likely to continue, including: big fat market imbalances with high volume, stacked buying or selling imbalances with 3 or more in a bar, and 3 bars in a row with ratios in the same direction. These patterns suggest aggressive traders moving the market and can provide entry points to ride trends where large profits are made. The next lesson will integrate order flow with technical analysis.

ORDER FLOW TRADING COURSE


Lesson 17: Order Flow Continuation Setups

by : MICHAEL VALTOS
FOUNDER – ORDERFLOWS.COM

My trading method and teaching are based on order flow strategies that I’ve
developed over many years of trading various futures markets. I do not use any
moving averages, oscillators or bands to back my trading decisions, nor do I
combine them with order flow trading and teaching. Furthermore, I don’t use or
teach any of the pre-set Order Flow trading methods circulating for free over the
Internet. Rather, I trade my own method that is the culmination of my 20 years of
trading futures on an institutional level.

DISCLAIMER
• This presentation is for educational and informational purposes only and
should not be considered a solicitation to buy or sell a futures contract or
make any other type of investment decision. Futures trading contains
substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially
lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can
be lost without jeopardizing ones financial security or life style. Only risk
capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital
should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of
future results.

• CFTC Rules 4.41 - Hypothetical or Simulated performance results have


certain limitations, unlike an actual performance record, simulated results
do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been
executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact,
if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading
programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with
the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account
will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown.

ORDER FLOW CONTINUATION SETUPS


• The market spends a majority of the time
trending from one price extreme to another.
• Big money is made in trends.
• When the market is in the middle of a big
move, no one can tell you how long or far it will
go. What you want to know is whether it is
going to continue or not.

• Big Fat Market Imbalance occurs when there is
an oversized market imbalance.
• High volume levels are common at the
beginning of moves and in the middle of moves
and bigger, well funded institutional traders

• The importance of stacked imbalances is due to
above average volume, aggressive traders
coming into the market to move it.
• Majority of the time it is one trader. But it can
often be several traders at the same time
coming into the market to move it.

• Often times it takes a lot to get a market to
move outside of a trading range and start a
trend. Once the market starts a trend the
forces behind the move often appear in the
order flow to confirm the move. That the move
will continue.

• 3 In A Row occurs when 3 ratios in a row occur
in the same direction. Look to get in after the
3rd bar with a ratio. Your entry should be
somewhere between the POC levels in the 2nd
and 3rd bars.

• A continuation pattern allows you to find an
entry point in an existing trend.
• Trends are where big money is made in trading
so it is to your benefit to jump in a trend.
• Some traders base their entire trading program
on just jumping along for the ride.
• It will benefit you to have a few continuation
pattern setups to look for.
