In this course, we are learning several ways of looking at order flow, which boils down to the observation of non-obvious areas of fair and unfair value in the chart. Like it was stated previously, order flow is not perfectly correlated with price action, meaning that the fair and unfair value areas cannot be seen through candlesticks precisely, otherwise we wouldn't need order flow tools at all. There are two reasons we use order flow.

One, is to determine non-obvious areas of reversal, and two, to confirm areas of reversal that were previously established by other order flow levels and or other techniques. However, when we look at a price chart from the perspective of fractal analysis, you'll notice that there are too many areas of fair and unfair value, both major and minor, so it becomes difficult to know which one you'll pay attention to and trust ultimately.

The solution is to look for order flow at areas of interest, and these are, number one, areas where there are important support and resistance levels, and two, supply and demand zones. Supply and demand zones are the price action near the market extremes. Near a bullish reversal, there is a lot of demand, and near a bearish reversal, there is a lot of supply.

The idea is to use order flow to determine the specific characteristics of the reversal being analyzed. The difference between supply and demand zones and support and resistance lines is nuanced. Technically speaking, a support is a level where higher demand is to be expected, for example. But meaningful support and resistance lines don't always occur near stable structure. A valid demand zone always occurs near stable structure.

However, if you know enough about technical analysis, you'll fall into the same problem again. There are too many support and resistance levels and too many supply and demand zones in any price chart at any given moment, so we need an additional filter. The best way of dealing with this problem is by paying attention to market structure. This helps to filter out the supply and demand zones that are not worth paying attention to, as well as the support and resistance levels not worth paying attention to.

The subject of market structure is wide and complex, so it goes outside the boundaries of the squares. But there are simple patterns and concepts that can be easily learned right now and that will help you tremendously with the problem of knowing where to focus on the price chart. Price action does the same things since the first time it was plotted on paper by the Japanese rise speculators in the 18th century.

The electronic trading environment only changed the context in which that happens, but the main driver of these patterns has always been the same, and that is human nature. The behavioral aspect of traders gives rise to four simple and effective patterns. The failure swing, the non-failure swing, the double pattern, and the V-pattern. These are the core patterns of market reversal spawning from the seminal work of Dow and Wyckoff more than 100 years ago.

The knowledge of chart patterns has evolved in the 20th century, but it goes in the wrong direction a lot of the times. There are too many chart patterns, and they are often too abstract. If you stick to these four patterns, you'll be much better off. Even though these four patterns are incredibly simple, the fact that markets are fractal allow the possibility for these patterns to intertwine at different scales, and that produces a wide combination of patterns. Once again, we'll explore that in a different course.

If you don't know how these four patterns work, please check out my free market structure courses on YouTube. We can assess the behavior of buyers and sellers by observing their action in relation to previous highs and lows. For instance, if buyers are capable of producing a higher high, it's logical to assume that they have proven their power to some extent. If they fail to do that, we can assume that the demand zone out of which they came

It's not strong enough to be trusted in the future as a safe place to put a stop loss, for example. In my previous courses, I talked about the idea of solid and fake structure, but looking back on it, this terminology is perhaps not the most appropriate. A better way of seeing this is to classify structure as stable and unstable. Some people refer to this as strong and weak structure. It's the same idea.

Stable structure emerges when a market player can stand its ground and close above the last high in the case of buyers, or close below the last low in the case of sellers. Unstable structure emerges when a market player is absorbed or manipulated, or when he fails to supersede the last market extreme. Ideally, you only want to pay attention to stable structure, but the trick is that sometimes minor stable structure, which appears to be unimportant, is often decisive.

Notice also that unstable structure is more common than stable structure. We can use the footprint chart to gain better insight into all types of structure, especially in absorption or market manipulation patterns. For example, in this chart we have a bull trap, which renders the previous major low as unstable structure. Notice that this is a bullish candle with negative delta, which is characteristic of absorptions. And we see a four-level stacked imbalance in the ask above the closing price.

which is also a sign that buyers have been absorbed. Perhaps a less important detail here is the fact that we have a selling initiation marked by price closing below an imbalance in the bid that happens exactly at the line representing the high that serves as an axis for the bull trap, so to speak. In my last course called Fractal Trading, Mastering Price Action and Beyond, we also talked about the way candles evolve and how there is often a misalignment between the candle bodies and shadows.

One is in front of the other a lot of the times. The knowledge of how bodies and shadows evolve in significant price reversals is paramount for understanding how to trade accurately. And trading accurately is not a vain exercise. It's a necessary one. The classic example of this misalignment between candle shadows and bodies is the good old fractal candle I've been talking about since my very first course.

The fractal candle represents a moment where the candle range is still going in one direction, while the candle body has already reversed. We can look at it from different angles. Fractal candles always imply velocity divergence on a lower time frame, for example. Candle geometry involves the knowledge of bias, body size, range dynamics, body percentage, and shadow symmetry or body position, depending on your perspective.

Candle geometry analysis is overkill most of the time, but not in the crucial parts of a reversal or in areas of interest, in the same way that analyzing footprints contextually all the time is also overkill. In the practical examples and case studies at the end of the course, we'll see several different instances of how these concepts play out in the charts. In this lesson, the goal is to provide an overall picture of how to filter the noise that comes with the fractal perception of markets.
