Mastering Orderflow/Footprint Trading in Tamil

Finance-focused summary (Order Flow / Footprint Trading – Tamil)

Presenter / experience framing

• The speaker (Sanjay) says they’ve been trading for ~7 years, and using order flow for the last ~5 years.
• They claim that after learning order flow, their market perspective changed compared to relying only on candlestick chart patterns.

Core concept: Order Flow + Footprint as “real-time” information

• Order flow is presented as a tool that shows real-time buying/selling activity by price level, rather than acting as a classic indicator.
• The speaker contrasts this with typical indicators such as:
  • RSI
  • Moving Averages (MA)
• Key difference in what you “see”:
  • On regular candles, you mainly get OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close).
  • On order-flow / footprint charts, you can identify:
    • Who is in control (buyers vs sellers)
    • Aggressive vs passive participation at specific price levels
    • Where liquidity / pressure is building

Example provided: NIFTY Futures (3-minute timeframe)

• Instrument/timeframe
  • NIFTY Futures
  • 3-minute time frame
• Claimed behavior
  • Candlesticks alone showed no clear reversal indication, yet price reversed sharply.
  • Reported move: ~100 points
• What they attribute the reversal to
  • They claim order flow/footprint reveals the underlying bid/ask pressure earlier than candlesticks do.

Method / step-by-step framework (operational approach)

• Identify reversal or continuation zones using order-flow/footprint rather than candle patterns alone.
• Look for a price level where major activity occurs, including:
  • Aggressive buying/selling volumes concentrated at that level
  • Passive orders layered around that level
• Trade the setup by:
  • Entering near/at the highlighted volume/liquidity zone
  • Placing a stop-loss tied to structure
    • The speaker compares it to a “typical stop at swing low,” but suggests you may not need to wait for the full swing.
• Avoid “bad signals”:
  • Order flow helps distinguish fake breakouts from real breakouts.

Key trading/risk points and cautions

• Fake breakouts
  • The speaker describes a common situation: price breaks out, but the next candle closes back inside resistance/support—making candle charts misleading.
  • Order flow/footprint is claimed to help label whether the breakout is real or fake.
• Discretion/caveat on certainty
  • The speaker states: “100% work all the time 100% doesn’t exist.”
• Performance framing (possibility, not guarantee)
  • Mentions scalping and capturing roughly 15–20 points if setups align with the order-flow zones.

Footprint / DOM-style mechanics (how they interpret volumes)

• Conceptual footprint layout:
  • Left side = aggressive sellers’ volumes
  • Right side = aggressive buyers’ volumes
• Matching logic:
  • Price movement isn’t simply “more buyers push up, more sellers push down.”
  • A transaction requires both a buyer and a seller, and matching occurs via market/limit order interaction.
• They refer to:
  • Bid/Ask volume totals
  • Delta = (ask volume − bid volume)
    • They mention a separate video for delta.

Specific numbers / volume figures mentioned (from examples)

• Example readings include:
  • 19k buy orders (described as buying pressure at a wick/key level, with structural value depending on context)
  • 12k aggressive buys, 1.6k aggressive sells
  • 6.1k aggressive buys, 1.7k aggressive sells
  • “100” shown at a low region (example of activity at a candle low)
  • 27K buyers that “dropped” (described as a scenario where sellers accepted pressure, acting as resistance)
  • 14k passive selling, followed by a trade that yielded:
    • immediate ~12 points on the next candle
• The purpose of these numbers is to support the claim that order flow reveals hidden buy/sell aggressiveness behind price moves.

Practical takeaway the speaker emphasizes

• Order flow/footprint is used to:
  • Spot where institutions (“smart money”) likely entered, based on concentrated volume
  • Enter earlier than candlestick-only signals (rather than waiting for candle close/full movement)
  • Place stop-losses closer to the observed order-flow zone instead of relying purely on swing lows
• Learning resources mentioned:
  • a website
  • offline live classes
  • and contacting via message
