Order-flow field
The order-flow field renders market microstructure as a field of pressure - arrows or streamlines that show the direction and strength of aggressive flow, with liquidity walls picked out where size concentrates. It’s a way to feel whether the tape is leaning up or down without reading individual prints.

Section titled “Overview”Aggressor pressure is drawn as a vector field: where it points and how dense it is tells you which way the market is being pushed. Liquidity walls - the concentrations that pressure breaks against - are highlighted so you can see what’s resisting the push.
How to use

Open Chart Options and switch on the Order-flow Field, then pick a rendering style.

Read the flow into the walls: pressure building against a wall that then gives way is a continuation cue; pressure that stalls and reverses at a wall is absorption.
Rendering styles
Section titled “Rendering styles”| Style | Look |
|---|---|
| Arrows | Discrete direction vectors at key points - crisp and literal |
| Streamlines | Continuous flow curves - smoother, easier to read |
