Gold Order Flow - Short Walkthrough

In this video I’ll touch on a short setup in gold following the logic of order flow via the OFA script.

First things first, as you can tell by the multi-timeframe analysis, with the order flow script corroborating this view, gold is in a downtrend.

Gold recently broke the major 1,700.00 support.

Well, that line of defense has now turned resistance, with an entry short triggered by the OFA script.

Logic in the video...

Remember the two key main features of the OFA indicator:

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.
