Does anyone out there use or know of a very reliable indicator that identifies order flow on the ES. If you are hesitant to make your own indicator public, please send me a private email. I will respect your privacy. Thanks.

 

How do you define "order flow"? The orders are in/out both sides every 0.0001 sec

Reading the tape is something I do extremely well and I share several different techniques in my newsletter for doing that. Some are very simple and require no software, others are more do require more specialized tools. One of the most accurate ways to see the transacted order flow is by tracking the cumulative delta, delta, or by using the footprint (MarketDelta)/VolumeLadder charts. No affiliation with MarketDelta. They offer a free Trader software if you have a participating broker that you could try.

 

It is difficult to trade with only order flow though. I'm specialist in ES.

Interesting that once a person asks....first you get the newbies comment, many of them need the same thing....and eventually the BS artists show up...

 

So here's a comment and it won't cost you anything but the time it takes you to think for a moment....

 

First, there are several ways to get the data you are talking about.....depending on your charting you can simply monitor a DOM, or you can get cumulative data (IRT has several ways to show the order flow).....if you have some cash to spend you can get CQGs aggregated trade flow bars..

 

Now when you get into these various ways of displaying the order flow, be aware that what you are seeing is only a fraction of what you really need to make a good decision...AND no matter what kind of data display you eventually settle on you will still need to practice and acquire some skills....

 

I have been doing this a long time, and I favor what most would call the "old school" method

Simply put you start with a screen display that includes the NYSE TICK, Market Breadth (if you use Esignal...both $VOLD & $ADD)....you also need a "time & sales" strip.....long story short most professionals learned this way...it takes time....and you need to develop some skill, but once you have it....no one can take it away from you, and it continues to work the same as the first day I learned it.

 

Now anticipating the obvious question(s)...yes I am a vendor, but ironically I don't have anything to sell you....I have trained two small classes (4 people in each class)....they had to apply and go through an interview process before the class started....WHY....because to really train people to do this right....you can't just sell them an indicator....it doesn't work....thats why so many of you get burned. I closed out my class a couple of days ago.

 

If I were doing it all over again, I would start by getting the screen setup I just described....I would take a few months to simply watch and observe price against the backdrop of the time & sales and TICK....if you do this, and you have some talent, I would bet you can teach yourself enough to get going....then its a matter of networking and trying to find people who are using the same system...

 

I have added one more item that sets it aside from the sharks and bs artists....I use time based pivots on a worksheet....as I watch my screen, if price tests one of my pivots, I know that all I have to do is to determine the trend and then see if price holds a bid or not....If you want a time based pivot chart....again no charge, its public info, read my thread "An Institutional look at the S&P Futures"....

 

Best of luck to you

 

Steve

      Date: 22nd January 2025.   Netflix Earnings Surge Driving the NASDAQ to Monthly Highs!   The NASDAQ increases in value for a fourth consecutive day, gaining momentum after Netflix stocks rise more than 15%. Earnings reports are gaining speed for the technology sector, but why has Netflix stocks seen such a high and sudden rise in demand? Netflix Stocks Increase 15% Supporting the NASDAQ! Netflix stocks have been one of the best-performing stocks within the NASDAQ, rising more than 79% in 12 months. However, even for Netflix, a 15% rise in less than 24 hours is considered substantial. The quarterly earnings report was made public by Netflix after the market closed on Tuesday. The earnings report confirmed the following: Netflix beat their earnings per share expectations - $4.27 reported vs $4.21 expectations. Netflix’s revenue surpasses the previous quarter - $10.25 billion this quarter vs $9.82 billion in the previous quarter. The online streaming company confirms projects to expand into live sport and event streaming will proceed. In addition to this, the company’s forward guidance for 2025 remains positive. Netflix is the 10th most influential company for the NASDAQ meaning the positive earnings data and bullish price movement supports the overall price of the NASDAQ. In addition to this, the positive earnings improve the sentiment towards the entire US technology sector. Investors will now turn their attention to the quarterly earnings report for Intuitive Surgical. Intuitive Surgical stocks on Tuesday rose 1.94%. How is the Economy And Politics Affecting the NASDAQ?     The US stock market is witnessing an upward correction after struggling in the last weeks of 2024. The bullish price movement is a result of a sharp decline in bond yields, the new US administration and earnings season. Investors remain relieved that bond yields have fallen back down from the 5.00% level. If bond yields continue to decline further, particularly below 4.50%, the move would be deemed as positive for the US stock market. President Trump took office on Monday and so far the pro-US rhetoric from the President, Vice President and Secretary of State continues to support the stock market. So far, the main concern is how upcoming tariffs can negatively affect inflation and growth. However, some economists advise tariffs will become the “norm” and may have a lesser effect compared to 2018. However, this is something traders will continue to evaluate and monitor. The VIX this morning fell 0.83% lower and trades more than 5.70% lower over a 7-days. The lower VIX indicates a higher risk appetite towards the stock market. If the VIX continues to decline a strong buy indication may materialize. On the most influential stocks for the NASDAQ, 82% rose in value on Tuesday. However, Apple stocks, the most impactful stock, fell 3.19% due to poor sell data. If Apple stocks continue to decline, the NASDAQ’s upward trend may come under strain. In the meantime, investors over the next week will continue to monitor upcoming earnings reports. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis The price of the index is trading significantly higher than all Moving Averages on a 2-hour timeframe and relatively high on oscillators. These factors indicate that buyers are controlling the order book. However, price action also confirms the latest impulse wave measures 3.43% which is normally the point at which the index retraces. This is something that investors may also consider. The retracement potentially also may be triggered by Netflix buyers quickly selling to cash in profit after the sudden 15% bullish surge. If a retracement does indeed form, price action and the 75-period EMA indicates that the pullback may drop as low as $21,391.30.     Key Takeaways: The NASDAQ increases in value for a fourth consecutive day, but price action signals a possible retracement before continuing its bullish trend. Netflix stocks increase more than 15% due to strong earnings data. Netflix beat earnings and revenue expectations by 1.39% and confirmed projects to add live sports streaming to its platforms. The VIX trades more than 5.70% lower over a 7-days and US Bond Yields remain at recent lows. On the most influential stocks for the NASDAQ, 82% rose in value on Tuesday.
