Learn order flow trading
Plain-language guides to order flow, delta, cumulative volume delta, liquidity sweeps, order book depth, and funding and open interest. Each one defines its terms, shows the limits and avoids hype.
The guides
Five short guides, written for traders who want to understand what the numbers measure before they rely on them.
Cumulative volume delta (CVD) explained
CVD is a running total of delta. See how it tracks the net aggression behind a move and what a divergence from price can mean.
Read the guideHow liquidity sweeps work
Sweeps push price through obvious highs and lows to reach resting stop orders. Learn how to tell a sweep from a breakout, and why neither is certain.
Read the guideHow to read order book depth
Depth shows resting orders, not trades. Learn how to read bids, asks and walls, and why you should check them against executed volume.
Read the guideFunding rate and open interest
Funding and open interest show how leveraged traders are positioned. Learn the four price and open interest combinations and the limits of each.
