Hi, I have to admit I become confused by what I see in MK, I’ve put the areas of interest into colored boxes and would like to get a solid understanding:

Yellow: short position stops
Blue: where long positions entered
Violet: long position stops
Green: where short positions entered

Is this correct?

What is the reason to stops being colored differently in different charts? Particularly in this case what do white and grey colors mean?

Using the opportunity can you please help me understand how OST, OGZ and STS get calculated too, I am trying to understand their weight in relation to one another.

Thanks

Blue box: DM long positions currently open
Green box: DM short positions currently open

Yellow box: STS of DM shorties
Violet box: STS of DM longies

Note:
The white and grey lines are also STS, but from different data sources. As you can see, for some pairs, this helps.

OST are option strike signals, they have nothing to do with that.
OGZ are order gap zones, where the SM fills DM orders.
STS are the short-term stops.

LTS are the long-term stops, pink lines.
MTS are the (important) medium-term stops, in green.

All the best dear!

Note 1:
The OST are tradable when no squeeze line is in the way.

Note 2:
The MTS are tradable when no squeeze line / DM flow is in the way.

Note 3: OGZ and STS have less weight than both of the above. These are often used for pullbacks etc.

Note 4:

A squeeze always dominates, in particular the higher the time frame where the squeeze occurs.
So a squeeze on the day chart will always dominate everything else, even H1 MTS or OST.

Ok that is great, thank you.

I will leave this here just in case anyone like me is more visual

..another thing I would like to clarify: when the net DM line is way above it’s counterpart but not sloping in any direction, does that mean the bias is low and OGZ and STS are now tradeable? How does this case compare to when both red and green squeeze lines are close by?

[Admin SME]

Yes,

as you can see from the EURAUD example, we first had to wait until the squeeze line slopes down.

“How does this case compare to when both red and green squeeze lines are close by?”

If both squeeze line are close too each other, yes, this is a minus point, because DM longies and shorties are roughly equal.

Yes, the slope of the respective squeeze line is essential.

Look, Djamal made a video today about EURAUD:

Yes, I watch all these videos, thank you
