It’s been about 10 months since we started OutsiderEdge, and we’ve now grown to over 2,000 members in our Discord community.

During that time, our indicator library has grown massively. We now have a wide range of tools that traders in the community are actively using every day, and we’re constantly improving existing indicators and developing new ones based on feedback.

I’ll admit that I’ve neglected Reddit quite a bit. OutsiderEdge is still essentially a one-man operation, and most of my time and attention goes into development, support, and improving the Discord community.

I’m going to try to become more active here and share more updates, setups, educational content, and development insights.

But if you want to follow what we’re building, ask questions, or interact with the community, I definitely recommend joining the Discord. That’s where OutsiderEdge is most active.

Appreciate everyone who has been part of the journey so far. We’re just getting started.

Ongeacht of je de persoon die deze tweet heeft geschreven verafschuwd of niet. Ben jij het eens met deze stelling, kan jij je er in vinden of juist helemaal niet?

Graag zie ik het goed beargumenteerd en hou het vriendelijk en genuanceerd!

Video Breakdown: GEX INDICATOR

Many people from outside the community had a lot of questions about the GEX indicator and how to use it. So after a few weeks of recording and editing, the breakdown is finally here.

>My article about Volume Profiles on TradingView: A Deep Dive Into The Volume Profile
The indicators: Node Breach Engine (Volume Profiler)
Discord for documentation and access: OutsiderEdge

NBE and ASFE are a volume-profile engine that builds profiles between pivots (or per session), tracks closed & developing POC, and prints breach signals when price challenges the control node. It quantifies node strength, buy/sell composition (CVD) at the POC and the entire profile, Value Area levels (VAH/VAL), VWAP distance, time at price, and introduces a PoV (Point of Void; the LVN located inside the Value Area): to highlight low-participation corridors where rotations or rejections often form. A lightweight EMA smoothed trend can optionally filter signals by prevailing bias.

Use it to answer fast: How strong is this node? Is the profile buy- or sell-led? Are we accepting/rejecting control? Is the developing POC migrating? Is the VA’s LVN (PoV) about to rotate back to POC or reject?

Ofcourse this is all based on tick volume, but it shows 80% correlation between real actual orderbook volume for many pairs.

What would you guys like to add, adjust or remove to/from the indicators?

>I wanted to share something I’ve built a while ago and helped me become a leaderboard FTMO trader, because I think a lot of traders run into the same problem.

>More info about the indicator: Adaptive Node Efficiency Function

A breakout can look clean, price can push through a level, candles can look strong, and then the whole move just dies. Other times the move keeps expanding and you feel like it was obvious after the fact.

That is basically the problem I tried to solve with ANEF.

The idea is not to predict the future or magically call tops and bottoms. It is more of a framework to read whether price is moving efficiently or whether the move is likely just a weak push through liquidity.

ANEF looks at things like:

• How price behaves around important nodes (POC/POV/VWAP)
• Distance from value areas
• Imbalance
• Volatility expansion
• Exhaustion
• Whether the move is actually accepting higher/lower prices or just sweeping and rejecting

So instead of treating every breakout the same, I use it more like a filter.

For example:

A breakout away from value with strong imbalance and no immediate rejection is very different from a breakout straight into a major node with exhaustion showing up. Same candle shape. Completely different context. That is what I wanted the indicator to make easier to see.

And to answer the obvious Reddit question before it comes:

“Why share this if you are profitable?”

Because sharing a tool or concept is not the same as giving away an entire trading system.

Execution still matters. Risk management still matters. Session selection still matters. Knowing when not to trade still matters. Most traders can have the same chart and still take completely different trades. I also build this stuff because I enjoy turning market logic into visual tools. Sharing it helps me get feedback, see how other traders interpret it, and improve the model. I am not here claiming this is a magic print-money button. It is just a tool that helped me structure something I was already watching manually.

I shared it with my community and love to see how fast people apply it to their strategies and become profitable.

We’ve been seeing more and more people in the community pulling some seriously strong wins using the indicators.

Not because there’s some “magic holy grail,” but because the right tools make it much easier to spot clean opportunities. Less noise. More structure. Better entries. Better timing.

Of course, stay sharp: profits don’t come from an indicator alone. Risk management, patience, and discipline still matter the most. But when you have a system that helps you identify clear setups, trading becomes a lot more structured.

Most people instantly say the same thing:

“Yeah but TradingView doesn’t have real orderflow”

True. It doesn’t. It’s tick volume, not real bid/ask from the orderbook. But here’s where most people are just wrong.

Tick volume has a very high correlation with real traded volume, especially on liquid markets. Not theory, this has been tested over and over again. If activity increases, both tick volume and real volume spike. If the market is dead, both drop.

So instead of crying about what TradingView doesn’t have, I built something that extracts the maximum out of what it does have for me and my community.

What it does in simple terms:

• It tracks where aggression comes in, not just where price moves
• It visualizes buyer vs seller pressure as bubbles
• It shows you where moves are driven, tracks those levels forward, not random noise
• It helps you spot exhaustion, absorption, and continuation

It’s not pretending to be a DOM or a true footprint. That’s not the point.The point is reading behavior.

And that works across everything:

Futures
This is where it hits hardest. Tick flow aligns very closely with actual volume, so you get a very clean read on who’s in control.

Forex
There is no real centralized volume anyway. Tick data is one of the best proxies you have.

Indices
Same thing. You’re trading derivatives. Tick pressure still shows momentum shifts.

Crypto
On liquid pairs, same story. Activity = participation.

Most traders overcomplicate this. You don’t need perfect data. You need consistent data that reflects what the market is doing. Aggression leaves a footprint. Even in tick data.

If you learn how to read tick-driven behavior properly, there’s a real edge there.

Very interested in how many people here actually use tick-based orderflow seriously, instead of dismissing it.
