Order flow shows you real-time buying and selling pressure before it moves price, while traditional price action and indicators lag behind. The presenter compares it to a sniper rifle with thermal vision versus a bow and arrow: order flow sees what's coming next.
Order flow is causing prices to move. So order flow stands to price action like price action stands to EMAs. You can be profitable with a normal price action strategy, even though it may be a little bit outdated, but candlesticks are more of an indicator than order flow is. Would you rather start by learning the bow and arrow or would you start by learning a sniper rifle with thermal vision? This is not indicators based on past data. This is literally a deeper layer of information.
