medium · Order Flow Analysis footprint-delta
You enter a short in $6E (Euro FX) at $1.0945 based on a bearish delta divergence at the high. Target is $1.0930. Price moves to $1.0938 then stalls, and a buying imbalance appears at the session VAL.
What is the 'moderate' professional response?
- Exit 50%--60% of the position to lock in profits and move the stop on the remainder to breakeven.
- Immediately flip the position to long, as the buying imbalance at VAL is a stronger signal than divergence.
- Hold the full position until the stop is hit, as the original divergence signal was 'A-grade'.
- Add to the short, as the market is 'testing' the strength of the sellers at the VAL.
