Order Flow Profile

Order Flow Profile - Real-Time Buyer vs Seller Control

Order Flow Profile is a clean, dynamic tool that visualizes live order flow directly on your chart through a vertical price-level histogram. Unlike lagging indicators or standard volume profiles, this script uses data in real time, showing exactly who's in control—buyers or sellers—at each price zone.

The core originality lies in its straightforward delta stacking: it builds a persistent vertical bar that updates live with every trade, revealing aggressive buying/selling pressure without delays. This helps traders better visualize buyer and seller pressure before price develops.

METHODOLOGY & CORE CONCEPTS

1. Delta Calculation & Color Coding

The script tracks net volume delta (aggressive buys minus aggressive sells) at each price level:

- Green bars represent positive delta — aggressive buyers stepping in on the bid, often absorbing selling and signaling control.
- Red bars show negative delta — sellers hitting the ask hard, pushing price down or capping rallies.
- Black neutral zone highlights areas of balance where buying and selling roughly cancel out, typically indicating absorption by larger players or fair value zones.

This creates a live "profile" that grows vertically as data accumulates, making it easy to see momentum shifts at specific prices.

2. Dynamic Pressure Visualization

Once delta is calculated per price, it's stacked into a single, evolving vertical bar. The bar thickens in green when buyers dominate (potential support/reversal), or in red when sellers take over (potential resistance/rejection). The black section acts as a fair value anchor—price drifting there often means chop until one side breaks out.

No fixed lookback periods or smoothing; it uses raw, real-time flow to adapt instantly to market conditions.

HOW TO USE IT
You can use the Order Flow Profile as a filter and pair it with any indicator.

If price taps the green zone and bounces, buyer control may be present.
Red at resistance with rejection can signal seller dominance on retests.
Black? Stay out of it. Let the buyers and sellers fight it out.
