Order flow basics - What is the DOM? Why is it useful? What do the numbers mean?
Part 1 of this video covers the absolute basics of order flow. It explains what is shown on the DOM (a.k.a. depth of market, ladder, order book, depth and sales). Many new traders want to learn more about order flow but they don't even understand the basics of limit orders vs market orders, uptick/downtick, why price changes, etc. Part 1 explains all of this in great detail and after watching it, you should clearly understand what you are seeing on a DOM.
Part 2 explains why the DOM is useful.
Part 3 explains the impact of unnecessarily giving up the bid/ask spread
Experienced traders who understand the DOM and price movement may want to jump straight to Part 2.

@@ro542Hi Brother, Can you suggest Any free platform DOM!
When the student is ready, the teacher arrives. This is where I'm at, going to the next level and you explained this so perfectly. I'm gonna be watching this video during the sessions for the next few days
The BEST video on reading the DOM and understanding order flow I have ever seen. Thank you so much for the information.
This is by far the best video I've seen on order flow, great job
This video is pure gold. Don't listen to people who dog this trading style. Go look at high volume large trader setups and see what they are monitoring on their screens, it's not 15 charts with a million different indicators that looks like my kid finger painted it. They are watching depth and order flow. I know the use of automation and algorithms has changed the game some, but there are things humans can do that they can't. They can't process the broader economic and commercial landscape. also would like to add that this takes a shit load of time and commitment to learn.
The youtube algorithm must recommend this for all new traders. This video is a hidden gem. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

This is One of the best videos I have ever seen on trading . Amazing detailed explanation. Good job
I came upon some of your videos on KZread about order flow and I thought you did a great job teaching and explaining. Your website has some of the most refreshing, honest writing I've read in a while. There's no magic way to riches trading markets and it's clear you work hard and continually learn and adapt. More videos please -- love 'em. Nicely done, John
🤠 This is the best teacher on DOM out there no cap. I repeat the BEST.
Thank you for a great video. I was worried that I found you so late as the video was made in 2016 but with all the recent comments, I know that this video is still gold. Thanks again and I am off to your website to gain more knowledge.
You've done me a great favor, I now understand it. Thank you.

Well said Sir, thank you for your explanation of the order book.
Thank you so much. This is what I've been looking for.
Very well explained. Thank you.
fantastic introduction to order flow and market mechanics!
This is such an excellent video thank you for taking the time to do this.
Excellent video, and thank you for sharing this great education material with us.
This video is Well Explained for anyone wanting to learn Order Flow
Newbie here, and thought instead of relying on indicators which only shows past and average, being able to read DOM is much more beneficial, but I could not find any good videos that explains DOM for beginners. This video was perfect for me who does not know anything about how DOM works. Thinking about buying your course.
I´ve been working a lot with trading based on EMA-cross-overs. I think I might be able to add a dimension to that by also looking at the orderbook / ladder. Great video by the way - explained in a very down-to-earth manner. When I first saw the ladder in a trading-platform i said to myself: "I will never learn to understand what that shows", however now it makes more sense
the Best explanation ever seen! Good..!
Thx a lot From Brazil 🇧🇷 Part 2 pls haha thx man God blessed you! I try find this information on internet I only find you! So pls keep doing this videos! 🙏
Quite frankly, I wish I had learnt this 13 years ago! - This video is gold dust!.
very clear, explain in details. thank you so much.
This video should be included with the Jigsaw software. Great job John.
Loved the yt video even though it’s 7 yrs old, and how you covered the chart to make us use our brains. Hope you keep making yt videos🙏
Thanks mate stand up the level of order flow traders
Great explanation and info on a needed topic. Thanks for NO BS man! :D
Wow!!! Thanks john, can't thank u enough for explaining this, really means alot
John, thanks for this very good video about order flow! Great work man!
Pure gold. Thank you!
Very good information, this can be part of my edge I think.
Appreciate this video a lot. Really helped explain DOM as well as the added value of explaining trade mathematics saving you money at the end. Recommend animating the DOM logo with a climbing/descending stick man indicator. The LC
Best DOM video ever
Great video No BS! Very informative, especially the paused orderbook explanations. I will deffo try apply what you show. I have an OB platform, and have been watching the MES for 2 months now, but despite this and the multitude of videos about it, you literally have to be a machine to be able to meaningfully enterpet and react to the continuous movement at the tick level. It's almost impossible to make snap judgements on direction despite the ever changing numbers in the book.
Good stuff .... most excellent explanation .... much appreciated
Great work!!! I been using the matrix in Tradestation to strengthen buy and sells and been looking for videos to learn more...just subscribed to you
Many traders does not consider Super Dom, or DOM, as an usefull tool, but I think it's very usefull. Not enough to trade, but helps to improve entrances and exits.
Very helpful video. Thanks.
OMG. You are a star man !!! Very informative video.
I am here De2020. This is the best of the best
JOHN CFU!! Very lucky to discover your training and i hv improved tremendously!!
I appreciate you this is great information, Thank You 👌🏾
GOLD. Thankyou so much. You rock
Great Job @Nobsday trading.. Market Depth was greek to me before watching this video THanx to u i think i can understand it now
Great video and very explicative. I have been studying for the last 12 months Technical analysis mainly understanding wavecounting with Elliott wave theory. I still feel I'm missing something when I do a wave count and and then in order to take a position on a trade. When is the best time to enter, etc.?. What a dilema! Now after checking out Order Flow this seems to be the missing link I needed to be able access the market geometry and the order flow mechanics to take a far more probabilist view in taking a trade. Now I have a far better understanding of how the market works with the order flow and how it effects the daily positioning of the market and when best to enter and exit. Can't wait to view the 2nd video. Thank you
Excellent sir !!
amazing instructor - thank you!!!

This reply should answer many of the comments. The more you watch, the more skilled you become at following the activity. You obviously cannot track every single change in volume but the idea is to follow the more noticeable changes and see the liquidity as a whole. We are not just watching the bid/ask even though there can be useful information there. We are also watching the actual volume transacting and how those transactions are affecting price movement. Many new traders miss this point. They think it's all based on watching the bid/ask and then say the numbers change too fast or there's too much spoofing so it's useless. They do not realize that the core information is actually the number of contracts trading and whether there are a lot of market orders executing (faster periods) or whether everyone is trying to work limit orders and not pay up/down (slower periods). When things started to get volatile in late February, you could clearly see the liquidity disappearing in the order book. This was a signal that the markets were most likely going to get even more volatile in the following days. It's an extreme example but a good one nonetheless. These changes in liquidity are normal throughout the year and being aware of the changes can be very helpful when implementing strategies (or when deciding to maybe stay flat and not trade at all). You also see these changes during number releases (employment data, retail sales, GDP, etc) or during notable news events such as an announcement about oil production. The imbalances in the treasury markets are often very clear. It's something which separates them from other futures markets and one of the reasons I primarily trade them. The ideas apply to all markets but every market obviously has its own nuances so adaptation is necessary. These concepts do apply to stock trading as well but, again, it takes some adaptation. The point here is that there's no reason to not look at the order book if you're day trading. The information is available so why would a person not want to incorporate it into the decision making process? The majority of technical analysis indicators are made using the information which is first in the order book. Indicators look at the amount of volume trading along with time and price. This information is extrapolated and turned into graphics (charts, moving average lines, bands, etc.). So why not go to the source material?

Excellent video thank you very much indeed but not easy to digest in one go this has to be seen more times to be able to make it stick so to speak but more videos of the same will help more enrich our technical brain. much appreciated.
People who do not realise the DOM benefits are usually the indicator gang that believe in lagging information is of benefit to them. The DOM is the heads up of trading as it is real time information. Some of this stuff can be a bit confusing so they do not bother and make pathetic claims about its usefulness. These are the people I trade off...they are the ones filling my positions !!

You are also being filled by institutions as they are involved all day. It's not just retail traders. The majority of volume is from banks and large principle trading firms. I have another video called "Sharks (Facts/Myths)" which is about institutions trading against one another. It's a presentation I did for futures.io. Worth watching as well. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIV5y6h8mbuegdI.html But yes, the order book is always a useful tool and anyone trading for a firm will attest to that.

Thanks for that deep explanation of DOM. Are you also adding bid volume and ask volume on each price level to see which price levels are dominated by buyers or sellers?
thank you very much for your time. it was really helpful and simple the way you explained sir.
