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.
