Order Flow

Analyzing real order flow — who buys, who sells, at what price and size — instead of lagging indicators.

Order Flow reads the market's raw activity: market (aggressive) orders vs passive (limit) orders, volume traded at each price, and buyer/seller imbalances. It's the foundation of the heatmap and footprint: you track real intent, in real time, before price moves.

Example

Instead of waiting for a moving-average cross, you watch buy-side absorption form live on the book.
