He was impossible to miss - all 350 pounds of him. If they gave him the ball, you could either take your life into your hands and try to take him down - or get the hell out of the way. Such was the predicament of any FL defensive back facing William ‘the fridge’ Perry. Replays of his touchdown runs will bring tears to your eyes
Google ‘William the refrigerator Perry’ and one of the first suggested searches you’ll see will be his Super Bowl touchdown. It’s a sight to behold. He didn’t just lumber into the endzone - he blasted his way through. One part speed, one part force and three hundred pounds of sheer will.
95% of the retail traders out there have assumed the role of the helpless defensive lineman trying to stop institutional ‘fridge’ runs on their way to profits. This is simply due to the fact that they’re making entries and trying to manage exits without any knowledge of the market forces coming right at them. They have no visibility as to the exact moves being made at each price level - within their candle.
Sure, they watch momentum and their lagging indicator. But those are based on price action, which means you’re flat on your back staring at the bottom of an institutional trader’s cleats after they’ve made their move. Fortunately, there’s a way to track these runs in real time - as they’re being made.
The ‘fridge’-like runs you want to watch
Perry was once famously quoted as saying that ‘even when he was little, he was big’. It’s true. By the time he was 11, he weighed 200 pounds. Like other athletes of his size at that age, he honed his coordination and rounded out his capabilities. This made him impossible to miss by colleges looking for size, speed and agility.
When you have Order Flow Sequence Tracking added to your chart, blocked trades can be impossible to miss. These are the moments when someone, almost always an institution, makes a huge trade. One with hundreds, sometimes thousands of contracts.
These are the moves that you want to stalk, because the price almost always responds to the force that’s just entered the market. That type of volume can’t be ignored. As long as you know what to watch for, you can get in behind these block trades and run with them.
Run in behind the institutions when they
put a ‘fridge’ trade on the field!
Get behind big institutional trades and run with them for profit!
Whether you know it or not, there are ‘fridge’-like trades being made every minute in your market by an institutional trader. Make no mistake, they’re dying for you to step in front of their entry so they can run right over you. Retail traders wondering why their positions are being slaughtered in seconds would do well to spot these moves when they take place.
They take the form of block trades. Positions with hundreds, if not thousands of contracts contained within. They’re anything but dainty - and when they hit the market - price has no choice but to take notice. Fortunately, you can spot them in a second - and run alongside for profit.

Settings that will reveal the trades you can run with
Imagine the conversation in the huddle with someone like Perry on your side. It’s first and goal on the two yard line. You need two yards, Perry will give you three. You need sixty yards, Perry will probably still give you three - but they’ll be spectacular to watch.
You can add the ‘fridge’ to your trading arsenal with the right settings. If you have your block trade setting too low - say 30 - you’ll get every move that some Tom, Dick and Harry has decided to make. If you set it too high, you’ll miss opportunities.
put a ‘fridge’ trade on the field!
You really want to see the moves that the institutions are trying to slide into the market without too much fanfare. Note the ES example here with the setting at 300. The second a block trade comes in, it’s highlighted and a line extends at that price point.
What happens next - well, anyone getting in would have gotten about three literal yards of ticks to run with.
Trade alongside the institutions to score profits
If you thought you could easily out-maneuver Perry due to his size - think again. In his prime, he could run 100 meters in less than 12 seconds, pull off a 360-degree dunk and perform complicated dives at the pool. No wonder he was a crowd favorite - both in high school and all the way to the Bears.
Never underestimate the power and agility of an institutional trader. Don’t get blindsided when they take the field with a block trade. Simply add this notification to your Order Flow Sequence Tracking. Make sure you have a setting threshold that makes sense for your market. For the ES, 300 is a good place to start for both buy and sell block trades.
Mind these moments and when they coincide with a macro level - run with them for either continuations or reversals based on the Order Flow action that you’re seeing. Know that price will revisit these moments and that they’ll have a strong relationship with the COT.
Run with the ‘fridges’ in the market with a smile and profits to show for your efforts.
