Order Flow

A charting method showing executed trades (not just orders) to reveal real-time buyer/seller control within candles.
Order Flow analytics display actual executed transactions rather than just price movement, revealing who is in control at the micro level. By analyzing trade execution at bid vs. ask, trade size, and speed, traders can identify aggressive buying/selling before it appears in traditional charts. This data helps determine whether price movement is driven by active (market orders) or passive (limit orders) participants.
