The TradeFlow bar is a graphical representation of action by the inside market in the DOMTrader. The TradeFlow bar’s low is the best bid and the high is the best ask.

The TradeFlow bar is color-coded to show the percentage of trades at the bid price (red) versus the ask price (green).

On this TradeFlow bar, thirty-five million traded at the ask price and twenty-four million at the bid price, thus the TradeFlow bar is 60% red.

The TradeFlowThe TradeFlowTMTM Bar Bar Key Benefit: Monitor the amount of actual selling versus buying by other traders at the best bid and best ask price.

TradeFlow bars are built upon the inside market. The low is the best bid and the high is the best offer.

– High volume TradeFlow bars are brightly colored and wide.

– Low volume TradeFlow bars are narrow and dark.

– All red TradeFlow bars indicate all of the trades were at the bid price.

– All green TradeFlow bars indicate all of the trades were at the ask price.

If half the trades were at the bid and half were at the ask price, then the bar would be 50% red and 50% green.

The default version for the width and color brightness of the TradeFlow bars are based on the relative volume of the TradeFlow bar compared to TradeFlow bars in the look back period.

TradeFlowTradeFlowTMTM Charts and Studies Charts and StudiesKey Benefit: Make better trading decisions using TradeFlow charts and studies.

TradeFlow bars can be aggregated by the number of individual TradeFlow bars, the tick range, and a proprietary smoothing algorithm. This aggregated TradeFlow chart uses four ticks for the bar’s range.

TradeFlow Volume displays the volume of trades at the ask price (green) and the volume of trades at the bid price (red).

TradeFlow On Balance Volume is a running sum of trades at the ask minus trades at the bid price.

Add a study to a study, such as the Stochastics Oscillator to the TFOBV line.

Pre-Trade Analytics is a group of studies tracking the trader’s actions in the exchange order book.

These studies measure the orders

above and below the inside market being placed or cancelled by traders as the TradeFlow bar builds.

DOMTracker plots the weighted sum of bids (green) and asks (red) in the order book beyond the inside market for each TradeFlow bar.

DOMTracker Oscillator plots the difference between the bid and ask volume lines from the DOMTracker.

Custom studies can be designed based on TradeFlow elements and used with the TradeFlow chart. In addition, the TradeFlow elements can be used in a trading system.

The TradeFlow Cross Study (TFCross) is the five-bar running sum of traded volume at the ask price (green) and the bid price (red).

This custom study is plotting the

difference between the two TFCross study lines.

TradeFlowTradeFlowTMTM Charts and Custom Studies Charts and Custom StudiesKey Benefit: Use elements of TradeFlow, such as volume at the bid price and the ask price, to create custom studies.

Elements of TradeFlow analysis can be the basis for custom studies on classic open-high-low-close bars.

Here, the bar is colored red if there were more trades into the bid than at the ask price and green if there were more volume at the ask price.

This custom study is plotting the five-bar running sum of volume traded at the bid price (red) and the ask price (green) for the bar.

This custom study is plotting the difference between the Bid/Ask Volume Cross study.

This custom study is plotting the volume of size traded at the ask price for the bar.

This custom study is plotting the volume of size traded at the bid price for the bar.
