Charts show you where price has been. Order flow shows you where price is going. Real-time order book depth, footprint charts with buy/sell volume per price level, aggressor analysis showing who's taking liquidity vs. providing it, cumulative delta, iceberg-order detection, large-print alerts. The tape-reading toolkit institutional desks have used for thirty years. Finally available to retail traders who are serious enough to use it.
Every retail trading guide for the last twenty years has taught chart patterns and indicators. RSI. MACD. Moving averages. Trendlines. All of these are derived from price. Secondary representations of the same information, smoothed and lagged. Meanwhile institutional traders have been ignoring all of it and reading the only thing that actually causes price movement: the order book, the prints, and the aggressors.
Price is what happened. Order flow is what's happening.
A 2-minute chart shows you that EUR/USD went up 8 pips. The order flow shows you that a single aggressive buyer took out four levels of asks in eight seconds, that the offer side of the book replenished within 12 seconds suggesting passive sellers stepping back in, and that cumulative delta has been positive for 47 of the last 60 minutes. One picture is a postcard of an event. The other is the event itself, in motion. Order Flow puts the second one on your screen at retail latency for the first time.
10-level order book depth, refreshing in real time. Per-level size, cumulative depth, weighted mid-price, microprice. Adjustable aggregation (raw, 1-pip buckets, 5-pip buckets). The book the market makers see, minus their inventory.
Bar charts where every candle shows the buy-vs-sell volume at every price within it. Imbalances jump out visually. Single-tick resolution on FX majors, indices, gold, and major crypto. Configurable display modes (numbers, heatmap, delta).
Every trade tagged: buy aggressor (lifting the offer) or sell aggressor (hitting the bid). Cumulative aggressor flow tracked on multiple timeframes. The clearest signal of who's pushing the market, and when they stop.
Running sum of buy aggressor volume minus sell aggressor volume. Divergence from price action is the most reliable order-flow signal in the literature. Price up + delta down = sellers absorbing. Price down + delta up = buyers absorbing. Tradeable.
Heuristic detection of hidden orders that refresh after being hit. Institutional traders working a position without showing the full size. When iceberg patterns appear, you know there's a real player on the other side, not noise.
if at.flow.delta(1m) > threshold and at.flow.imbalance() > 0.7: enter(). Build strategies that fire on order-flow conditions. Tape-reading at machine speed. The retail equivalent of an institutional liquidity-seeking algo.
Order book and trade data sourced directly from primary venues where possible (ICE, CME, Coinbase, etc.) with backups from tier-1 prime brokers. Reduced latency vs. retail-aggregated feeds. Microsecond timestamps preserved.
Every trade tagged with aggressor side using order-arrival logic, not just the bid-ask midpoint heuristic that retail tools use. Footprint volumes accumulated per price level per bar. Iceberg detection scans for refresh patterns continuously.
DOM panel with imbalance highlighting. Footprint chart overlaying or replacing standard candles. Cumulative delta below the chart. Aggressor alerts when thresholds breach. All available via Strategy Lab SDK for systematic strategies.
Order Flow rolls out by venue and instrument class. FX majors and S&P 500 futures first. These are where the data quality is highest and the trader demand is most concentrated. Spot crypto, indices, and commodities follow.
Closed beta to All-Access subscribers. EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD on the FX side. ES, NQ, RTY, YM on the futures side. Real-time DOM, footprint charts, cumulative delta, aggressor classification.
Public beta. BTC, ETH, SOL on Coinbase + Binance order books. Gold (XAU/USD spot + GC futures), oil (CL futures). Iceberg detection live. First Strategy Lab SDK access.
General availability. All FX majors and minors. Major equity index futures. Top 20 crypto pairs. Top 50 US single-stock equities. Custom alerts. Replay mode for studying historical order-flow setups.
Volume profile (volume distribution by price across sessions). Market profile (time at price, TPO charts). Composite profiles across multiple sessions. The institutional-grade complement to the live order book.
A bullish engulfing pattern is interesting. A bullish engulfing pattern with positive cumulative delta and a buy-aggressor imbalance during the candle is high-conviction. Pattern recognition gets validated by what actually drove the bar.
See Candle Intelligence →Retail positioning shows what the crowd believes. Order flow shows what's actually being traded. When sentiment is bullish but cumulative delta is negative, smart money is offloading into the crowd. Tradeable divergence.
See Sentiment Compass →Use order-flow primitives in any strategy. Auto-trigger on cumulative delta divergence. Filter signals by imbalance ratio. Build strategies that wait for iceberg patterns. Programmable tape reading without the cognitive load.
See Strategy Lab →Closed beta opens in July with FX majors and S&P 500 index futures. Beta access free for the first 2,000 waitlist members. Production pricing aligns with other Arizet apps ($8 / 7d · $29 / 30d · $269 / 365d). Order Flow may carry a small premium due to data licensing costs; final pricing announced before GA.
Join the waitlist and we'll send you beta access in July when Stage 01 opens. Free through public beta in August. Priority given to traders with day-trading or scalping orientations who'll benefit most from microsecond-resolution tape data.
The tape institutions have read for thirty years, finally on the screen of a retail trader serious enough to use it.
