Mike Valtos – Footprints In Focus Order Flow Trading
The Hidden Advantage of Footprint Charts Over Traditional Analysis
While most traders rely on lagging indicators that show where price has been, footprint charts reveal what’s happening right now. This real-time market intelligence allows you to:
See Institutional Activity in Real-Time: Identify large volume clusters, delta spikes, and absorption patterns that signal when smart money is accumulating or distributing positions.
Trade with Precision Timing: Enter and exit trades based on actual buying and selling pressure rather than hoping price patterns will repeat.
Avoid Market Traps: Recognize when apparent breakouts are actually liquidity grabs designed to fool retail traders.
Adapt to Any Market Condition: Whether markets are volatile, thin, or trending, order flow analysis provides the context needed to trade profitably.
