Market Structure

Anticipation order flow is what we are always looking for in the markets. So what is it? Well if we are looking at a price chart, we would have some form of anticipation that we want to see a trending market. So let's look at bullish order flow for this example. If price forms a high, and a low (which would be a pullback), we would have the anticipation that price wants to create a new higher high, and continue with that order flow.

Now I don't like to call this expectational order flow, because this is when you bring ego with you, which is one thing we don't want to do. I'm sure most of you can agree that once you start expecting something to happen, you'll then see the opposite happen. This is why it is always better to react and anticipate to price action.
