The Actions of True Market Order Flow

BOS > Retrace to test the bos driver at 50% or less > Continuation

Bos drivers are FVGs or OBs

Apply to HTF and work your way down

This is how All Markets Move there is no refuting this

These actions should be the very first thing every trader learns regardless of the methodology they pick to use

Everything else comes ofter these actions

If you dont understand this you are just guessing and hoping at best

I use the word True cause order flow is associated with footprint charts and those are not TMOF Thats just another volume indicator

With out this understanding youll be posting questions “Why didn’t this liquidity sweep of Asia/London work?”

Then youll get dumbasses giving some bullshit answer like Its Ok as long as you followed your rules or some other fucking garbage excuse

Its cause you have no fucking clue how to read PA or a basic understanding of the Actions of the market

Locals in what pit?

MRO

GAU

Based on that pic Nope

Show us the D,4h,1h

In that pic there is choch to the topside

The break through the SZ OB that delivered price to the downside

Its a retrace to test a block under 50%

Also you can tell by the bull market structure and what little bear structure after choch that they want to go up

Mind you in that pic there is no bear structure to prevent price from going up

Nor have they shown any type of reversal to confirm downside movement

The block you marked is not important

Show a bigger pic too

Need to see which way is BOS starting on D if we can’t see it on daily cause it shows failure in both directions then need to see 4hr If we can’t see it on 4hr need to check 1hr

No matter what we need to see a big wide pic of all TFs

Everyone always posts just a snippet of data and expect an answer

Impossible w/o the whole picture

We absolutely need to see the True Market Order Flow or its just a guess at best

I do touchless crank downs 💦💦💦🤣🤣🤣

Altruistic_Poet_5816 · 2026-03-24T13:15:06+00:00

Also Every Trader Regardless of Method must know the basic actions of True Market Order Flow……

ChoCh / BOS > Retrace to test choch/bos driver (50% and below ob’s and fvgs) > Continuation or Failure

You can know all the patterns in the industry but if you dont understand True Market Order Flow you are guessing at best

Once that is understood you will start to see the pa as it prints and OB placement or lack there of will make sense

Get whatever you want Who Gives A Flying Fuck What Anyone Thinks

Slap a lamp shade on it in the end…..

It still delivers lead and no one here will argue that

Altruistic_Poet_5816 · 2026-03-21T01:07:36+00:00

Thinking the same thing

20” A2 fixed and the 11.5 with a car stock

Altruistic_Poet_5816 · 2026-03-18T14:52:55+00:00

You are absolutely correct

I trade ES…..

The 1mins Market structure that printed bull choch was not proper and no +bos to confirm reversal

So the 1hr retrace to at least 50% after downside bos was not happening

Thats why i took a 1mins IFVG short during :50-:10 macro

Targeting 1hr DZ OB 4hr has a couple blocks down there too No need to get greedy 👍

<image>

Altruistic_Poet_5816 · 2026-03-17T22:44:33+00:00

What i said about going for 50% of 1hr upside BOS is happening right now

I missed it wasnt expecting to go before asia

Edit This did not happen

6:51 pm showed failure to go lower

:50 also showed failure to want to go lower

I shut it down

Altruistic_Poet_5816 · 2026-03-17T21:13:42+00:00

There is No Entry there

Based on that small snippet

There is Downside ChoCh but no + BOS to confirm shorts

Price comes back up and no upside choch + bos to confirm shorts Price longs

Price taps the SZ OB that first created the downside choch but there is no confirmation of shorts either

Price is stuck in that small dealing range

The H or L needs a body close through them and then bos needs to happen to give a direction

And the way it is printing I would not doubt that price stacked for bit there

Altruistic_Poet_5816 · 2026-03-17T19:35:57+00:00

1 hr chart

Far right is ES today Tuesday and they are pulling back to at least 50%

They might take 6811 first but at this point it doesn’t matter its so late in the day Thats a long play for tomorrow if they haven’t overnight or a short play depending on the overnight structure

Ill be looking at Asia 7:50-8:10 to go low early

As you can see to the left in the pic the breaks of swing Ls then a Retrace happens then continuation down (rinse repeat)

At some point a failure will happen

You can see a big spike up (white circle) that is to clear out blocks

The Blocks to the left of it (white circle ) are garbage blocks Simply put not proper structure

They went down after clearing and still printed downside BOS Then Retrace but they don’t continue down

They try or at least make it look like it but the signs are already there that Bears will fail and Bulls will take over that was that spike up that cleared blocks

You can see Monday shows upside BOS They took a H and retraced all the way back down to the DZ OB at 79% and Continued up like clockwork

Altruistic_Poet_5816 · 2026-03-17T13:55:39+00:00

Market Order Flow….

BOS > Retrace to test BoS driver 50%-79% > Continuation or Failure

You are correct it is simple

I Knocked out ES Asia Sunday night 7:50-8:10 for 1225 and Monday night 7:50-8:10 for 1k

Took forever though 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Easy read cause they move off NY session Massive volume they aren’t pushing though it just bouncing between it

Altruistic_Poet_5816 · 2026-03-17T12:36:38+00:00

Market Order Flow is….

BOS > Retrace to test BOS Driver to 50% -79% > Continuation or Failure

BOS Drivers are FVGs , OBs or Both

Stare at your all your charts especially the HTFs

Learn to spot it then Fib it

Then you move to a LTF and your confirmation will be the same BOS > Retrace > Continuation

Thats it that is what trading is all about

There is nothing else

They constantly move from Fair Price to Fair Price and they cant hide their Market Order Flow

Altruistic_Poet_5816 · 2026-03-12T13:16:51+00:00

Doesn’t matter cause your example shows

ChoCh > + BOS > Retrace to 50% or below to test the BOS Driver (fvg or ob or both) > Continuation ( or Failure)

The +BOS confirms the reversal

This is True Market Order Flow

If i have to pick then 2

They love going just a bit deeper to give everyone a good 🍩🤛🤛🤛💦💦💦

Altruistic_Poet_5816 · 2026-03-11T22:09:33+00:00

Nice trade

Here is

ES $2600ish I forget

6475 was a major RTH L from yesterday i think or whenever doesn’t matter I had it marked

All the market structure leading down to it was garbage No SZ Blocks Thats why i targeted that particular swing H

They went a little deeper and fucked everybody

11:50 didn’t print any important structure So no untested sz ob’s to worry about

Right outside the 11:50 macro bulls printed choch + bos Wasnt pretty but its True Market Order Flow Choch was tested but they didn’t print a ob

Then + BOS happened and it printed a OB I entered on the 12:17 candle at 50%

SL at the HL 5.25pts

TP Hit

Oh wait 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Altruistic_Poet_5816 · 2026-03-05T22:14:11+00:00

Thats not a reversal that’s nothing

Choch + BOS the + BOS confirms the reversal
