How LLT Activity Signals Market Direction
Large Lot Traders (LLTs) are not here to scalp—they move size with intent. Tracking LLT activity in Orderflow reveals when institutions or big players are stepping in to shift direction or defend zones. At Vtrender, we treat LLT behavior as a key signal of conviction, trend readiness, or hidden absorption.
LLTs leave clear footprints on Orderflow charts. A sudden burst of trades at 5x or 10x the average size, particularly near DPOC, value edges, or volume clusters, is not retail behavior—it’s a decision being made. When these large trades align with Initiative Buying (IB) or Selling (IS), the market often moves with force.
For example:
- LLT prints appearing repeatedly near a low could signal buyer absorption and defense.
- A sharp LLT burst above value, combined with COT strength, may indicate trend intent.
- Sudden drying up of LLT prints at highs could signal exhaustion or distribution.
Our charts let you filter for LLT activity across instruments and timeframes, giving you an inside look at who’s driving moves—not just following them. Direction is often dictated by who shows up with size, and LLTs show up when it matters.
