Institutional Order Flow: NQ Futures
What you are going to learn
Read the flow instead of guessing the price
This course teaches you to read the order flow on the Nasdaq (the NQ contract and its micro, the MNQ): what the participants are really doing, beyond the candle. You will move from "I think it is going up" to "I can see who is buying, where, and whether it holds."
The common thread: an institution that wants to buy 500 contracts does not click a market order. It places icebergs, absorbs the selling flow, and sometimes triggers the stops below a level to collect liquidity at a good price. Each of these actions leaves a footprint in DeepDom and DeepCharts. This course shows you where to look.
The program
- The terrain: the NQ contract, its sessions, and who is on the other side of your trades.
- The toolbox: every DeepCharts and DeepDom tool, and what it tells you.
- Ten institutional setups, each with its card (entry, stop, targets), its procedure and a worked example with numbers.
- Risk and routine: sizing, a typical day, the pre-trade checklist.
- Validation: recap, learning plan and quiz.
How to follow the course
Read the modules in order the first time through: each lesson builds on the previous one. The Key takeaway boxes sum up the essentials, the Trap boxes flag the classic mistake, and the setup cards can be reread in one minute before the session. Mark each lesson as completed to track your progress and unlock the certificate.
The vocabulary is covered in the glossary, and the tools in the DeepCharts pages. Questions are welcome on the Discord, live.
Goal: make the tape talk to you. Take your time, come back to a lesson as often as needed.
Reminder: educational content. Futures trading carries a substantial risk of loss, only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
