Now I realize that many people wander this so-called desert in their quest to find the Holy Grail, maybe now more than ever, and that many genuinely don't know whether the forum is just a mirage, an illusion that is spawned out of their desperation, or whether it's an actual oasis built smack-bang in the middle of desert. Still, there is only one answer that I can give to that question and I want to make it clear enough....
The forum is an oasis of advice in a desert of noise.
Because if it weren't, would the whole narrative here not be different then? Would so many contributors give away so many warnings of danger and extreme difficulty? But obviously, this goes much deeper and there will always be people that believe that sports trading overall is absolute hogwash, that order flow trading is a myth and that it's impossible to profit without knowing the sport etc. But we're not talking about a religion here and you don't need faith to blindly believe, it's the exact opposite and there is an exact science to it, you only need a sensible head on your shoulders and the ability to actually use it. So I think the advice here is obvious enough. If somehow not, then I simply must cheekily suggest to use the head for more than a hat rack, you would be amazed at the result!
However, an oasis is just that, an oasis, it's not the final destination is it? It's only a place to stop by and rest your weary legs, to refresh and fill your canteen, to maybe share a story with a fellow traveler that is passing by, before you shake their hand and move on with your journey...
And to those that pass by the oasis without even stopping to drink from the well of knowledge, and to those than abandon it in search for water in the desert instead, to those fools I can only wish the very best of luck, because I suspect they will need it.
If I were to stick to this desert analogy and briefly touch on the apparent myth behind order flow trading, I would say that it's not for everyone but that it's not a secret order either, I would say that it's certainly not a myth and that there are many that wear this seal, there are many Knights Templar of the Order Flow, there are countless Paladin of the Order of the Flow, or however you want to put it. And yes, each does indeed have a sacred duty to protect their own Holy Grail from infidels and disbelievers and raiders, but sorry to say I do not think that those that wear this crest should be invading faraway lands like a common raider for the sake of looting and pillaging.
Point being, there are no stupid questions and there is no real shame in asking them. Only an idiot doesn't ever ask any questions, that is how he stays an idiot, but one really does have to then be able to find the right answers, and doubly so if they're going to be asking the wrong questions.
I guess we take what small victories we can get, good enough for me.
