Large Lot Traders in Orderflow
Large Lot Traders (LLTs) are the heavyweights of the market—institutions, prop desks, and smart money participants who leave behind high-volume trade prints in specific price zones. In Orderflow charts, identifying LLT activity allows you to track where real conviction is being deployed—and where reversals or follow-through are most likely to occur.
At Vtrender, we don’t just highlight big trades—we study what those big trades are doing to price. Our Orderflow charts track LLTs across bars using size filters and visual cues. When a bar is dominated by LLT action, it often sets the tone for the next few bars. These traders aren’t scalping—they’re positioning. And knowing where they act helps you follow rather than fade the move.
LLTs play a crucial role in shaping the day’s structure. Their activity during the Initial Balance, at the day’s extremes, or near Developing POC can mark key transition points. They often absorb retail noise and execute at optimal liquidity spots, which become magnets for future price action.
Combining LLT behavior with signals like IB30, Smart Candlesticks, and Volume Clusters gives you a front-row seat to the real auction. Whether they are absorbing supply at lows or unloading into strength, LLTs leave footprints worth following.
