Oil Order Flow - OFA Script Triggers Bearish OutlookHey traders,
One wonders. Is there a case to be made to be short Oil? The OFA is telling us, you bet there is, judging by the realized order flow as depicted by the script.
I won’t defend this point with any subjective opinion.
Instead, I will let you see the Oil chart in this 4h timeframe, with the OFA script attached to it, to show you what’s the current state of affairs.
What do you notice in this chart? 'DIAMONDS' tend to see a failure in amplifying the move in equal or greater magnitude than the preceding cycle.
When that occurs, we want to stay on the lookout as this is by no means a sign that validates aping in, but rather it is an early sign that the tide might be turning.
We then start getting more validation should the structure start shifting by breaking the previously identified low in the OFA script, in this case at $71.00.
If that break materializes with price acceptance beyond, then we know we might be onto something. Well, all the stars are now aligning for further falls in Oil.
Remember the two key main features of the OFA script :
Magnitude: A major clue that will help determine the health of a trend is the type of progress by the dominant side in control of the trend. We need to ask the following question: Are the new legs in the active buy-sell side campaign as identified by the script increasing or decreasing in magnitude?
Velocity: When it comes to the distance the price moves, the magnitude is only ½ the equation. The other ½ has to do with the velocity of the move or the speed. Was the new leg created after a fast and impulsive move? Or did price make a new low or high with the movement being sluggish, compressive and taking too long to form? A good rule of thumb is to count the number of candles it took to achieve a new leg.

Bobby's Homework Assignment5.30.23 I think this is a great trade to think about for oil because it actually gave a signal to go long and then It reversed and there would have been a loss,But it could have been managed with a small loss ...But this was a great setup to actually short the market.... and equally as important the market still had a correction they gave you a second opportunity to short this market and make a couple thousand dollars or more. I believe A lot of the price action that occurs in the market.... the patterns and the retests As markets move in one direction and then correct for a while any other direction Represents the algorithms of high frequency Trading that occurs with large money... smart money... the trade with scaling techniques to manage large volumes of contracts that require that they need the scale... contract.... but they make their wealth by scaling in and out with hundreds of contracts or more... and you and I won't even recognize it as the smart money. There's a very well recognized way of trading by looking at Markets as auctioning... market profile is one of those software packages that is very good and was developed by a very smart man who became a billionaire Trading the bond markets before he sold his proprietary system. it was one of the first Systems I looked at around the 1985 time of my life. It didn't work for me because my brain didn't work well at that time in life when it came to Trading. I see the market more as algorithms the facilitate the trading of professional trading firms that use scaling techniques along with large volumes of contracts... but scaling in and out as the market moves....As a reflection of the patterns that I use to analyze the market. In other words the market Trading in one direction and then correcting for a while in the other direction is a reflection of large amounts of money that make Profits for buyers and sellers....Including sophisticated trading strategies that buy and sell... and lock in profits Using scaling techniques. Even if you don't scale and you only trade one contract, if you change your paradigm of thought to factor in how smart money and large capital Creates opportunity and manages risk... there were ways you could have taken A long trade oil with a small stop... you would have lost money but you would quickly make it back with a very profitable trait.... and if you hadn't been in the market at all, you would have an opportunity to Trade this market at a double bottom and wait for it to get to the 382 which I show you in the video and you would have made over a couple thousand dollars on that opportunity if you missed everything else today. I believe the paradigms of Skilled professional Traders versus less qualified Traders Makes all the difference on how you'll manage the market and think about the market. for years I believe that markets have lots of random behavior and now I believe that's a toxic point of view that is Woefully Inadequate. We are all entitled to our own point of view... this is mine. I think this video is worth listening to one or two times... to see if it resonates with you.
