Price tells you where the market moved. Order flow, liquidity and volume can add context about how it moved and where participation may be building.
No single signal tells the whole story. Traders can combine price action with participation, available liquidity and volume to build a clearer picture of current market conditions.
Order flow refers to buying and selling activity taking place in the market. Traders use order-flow tools to study how transactions are occurring and whether buyers or sellers appear to be more aggressive in the moment.
Liquidity reflects the availability of orders and the market's ability to transact. Traders often watch areas of resting liquidity and observe how price behaves as those areas are approached, tested or traded through.
Volume measures trading activity. Changes in volume can provide context about participation, momentum and whether a price move is attracting or losing interest.
A trader can combine order flow, liquidity and volume with price action, gaps and information displayed by Macdicator. The goal is not to find a magic signal. It is to understand more of what is happening around a setup before making a trading decision.
