Leo and Fleri from OrderFlow Labs return to the shop this week to chat about volatility and liquidity, poker crossovers with trading and to give Dan and Kyle the scoop on the upcoming Ninja Trader launch. They were also gracious enough to answer listener questions submitted to us via our discord, ranging from book recommendations to trading strategies and how to best make use of their amazing toolkit. Make sure you check out their website after the launch!About FleriFleri began trading on the early crypto exchanges and with mid cap stocks before shifting his focus to futures and intraday trading. His work on ES, NQ, RTY, CL and UB is rooted in Market Auction Theory and tracking market participants through pattern recognition and confluence of Price Action and Order Flow. Fleri approaches his trading day by coming to the open with a plan of execution-able areas for the auction to potential seek value while utilizing Order Flow and Price Action to capitalize on intraday rotations. His favorite OrderFlow Labs study is Session Delta Pivots... The SDP levels offer an opportunity to lean into pullbacks and anticipate initiation from previous aggressive auctions while providing ranges for larger rotations.About LeoLeo started his trading journey with options mainly through options data/flow tools. After getting tired of trying to find the next mover and carrying overnight risk, he found the futures market and switched his focus to mostly trading the ES and NQ. HIs favorite OF Labs study is the buy and sell zones because they help automate the process of finding areas where the pullback in the market gives you the best risk/reward to take the continuation trade. Guest Links:OrderFlow Labs WebsiteSocials:Fleri's TwitterLeo's TwitterOther Links:Book: Reminiscences of a Stock OperatorFollow Harbaugh_Trader on Twitter!If you like our show, please let us know by rating and subscribing on your platform of choice!If you like our show and hate social media, then please tell all your friends!If you have no friends and hate social media and you just want to give us money for advertising to help you find more friends, then you can donate to support the show here!2 Bulls Discord:https://discord.gg/Q8hft2zMTMAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
