Flow Chart
Visualize real-time trade flow to see exactly where large buy and sell volume clusters form.
What is Flow Chart?
Flow Chart is a real-time trade flow visualization tool that aggregates live WebSocket data from Binance to display buying and selling activity as it happens. Each trade appears on the chart with its size reflected visually — larger trades produce bigger markers, making it immediately obvious when significant volume enters the market.
The tool goes beyond simple price charts by showing the depth profile of the order book alongside actual executed trades. This combination lets you see not just where price is moving, but how much force is behind each move. Color coding separates buy volume (green) from sell volume (red), giving you an instant read on directional pressure.
Flow Chart also incorporates historical trade pattern recognition, helping you identify recurring flow patterns at key price levels. When the same price zone attracts large buy or sell clusters repeatedly, it often signals institutional interest or a significant support/resistance level forming in real time.
Key Concepts
- Trade Flow: The stream of executed trades showing direction, size, and timing of actual market transactions
- Volume Cluster: A concentration of large trades at a specific price level, indicating strong interest from significant participants
- Depth Profile: A visualization of the order book showing where resting buy and sell orders are stacked
- Trade Magnitude: The relative size of each trade, visually represented so large orders stand out from retail noise
How to Use Flow Chart
- Open Flow Chart from the sidebar under Orderflow Tools
- Select the symbol you want to monitor
- The chart begins streaming live trade data immediately, with each trade plotted by price and time
- Watch for clusters of large green or red markers forming — these indicate concentrated buying or selling pressure
- Use the depth profile overlay to see where resting orders sit relative to current trade activity
What to Look For
- Bullish signals: Large green clusters forming at or near support levels indicate aggressive buying. When big buy orders consistently absorb sell pressure without price dropping, buyers are in control.
- Bearish signals: Heavy red clusters appearing at resistance levels, especially if they are increasing in size, signal strong selling interest. Watch for large sell orders breaking through bid support levels.
- Key patterns: Repeated large trades at the same price level suggest institutional accumulation or distribution. A sudden spike in trade magnitude after a quiet period often precedes a significant move.
- Combine with: CVD Chart to confirm net buying/selling pressure, Volume Profile for historical context on high-volume price levels, Trade Footprint for a structured view of where volume concentrates

Tips
- Focus on the largest trade markers rather than the overall noise — institutional-size orders are the most informative signals
- Compare the depth profile with actual trade flow: if large resting orders keep getting pulled before they are filled, this is a sign of spoofing rather than genuine interest
- Flow Chart shows what is happening right now — combine it with historical tools like Volume Profile for context on whether current flow is consistent with past behavior at these price levels
