Order flow works like a butcher's counter: buy liquidity is meat for sale, sell liquidity is what buyers consume. When hungry traders devour available liquidity, prices move. Candlestick charts hide this dynamic.
Yeah, order flow looks complicated, just like anything in finance that matters. So I'll break it down for you in the most stupid simple way. On this side, you have buy and sell liquidity. Imagine this like the meat counter at the butcher full of turkeys. These bubbles are like really hungry customers before Thanksgiving. They will consume the meat being offered. So hungry buyers will eat all these sell liquidity areas. Hungry sellers will eat all of these buy liquidity areas. If there's a hot area, that means there's a lot of buy meat. So hungry sellers will tend to eat eat all the way down there. Once they get there, they either get full and leave rooms for hungry buyers to eat up, or if they're still hungry, they'll look for the next big chunk of meat. So prices in finance move based on how much meat there is and how many hungry customers there are. But with normal candlestick charts, you're literally blind to all this. If you want the link to a free YouTube course that I made on how to use this tool, comment meat and I'll send it over in your DMs.
