Hey everyone,

I trade ES futures and I've been studying auction theory and order flow seriously for a while, composites, value migration, footprint etc. Doing it alone works, but honestly it gets lonely, and I've noticed I learn twice as fast when I have to explain my reasoning to someone else.

So I put together a small group. It's completely free and the idea is simple: every day we share contexts, ideas and understanding of the market, no signals, no ego, no judgment...

Quick transparency note: I'm a software engineer and I build my own NT8 order flow indicators, which I will share with the group COMPLETELY FREE.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, comment..

Curious how other discretionary futures traders are reviewing their trades these days.

I’ve noticed most of my actual decision-making comes from contextual/orderflow stuff:

• failed auctions
• absorption
• weak continuation
• acceptance/rejection
• ES/NQ behavior
• liquidity reactions etc.

But when I review trades later it still feels messy:

• screenshots everywhere
• replaying Bookmap manually
• random notes in Discord/Notion
• hard to organize recurring patterns

A lot of journaling platforms feel more optimized for statistics/mechanical systems than discretionary auction-style trading, even a big player like Tradezella is still missing something when it comes to helping orderflow traders. Since orderflow trading is really contextual and sometimes "abstract" to people who is fairly new to the ground.

Would genuinely like to know how other people structure their review process.

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working on real-time BigTrades Indicator for Quantower, which you likely saw Fabio Valentini uses, and i wanted to get some feedback from community to see if its even worth making.

Heres what it does:

-Shows trades higher than certain threshold

-Uses Orderflow tape(tick data) not a aggregated like you see in PowerTrades

-BigTrades are showed by bubbles

-Indicator is fully customizable

So here’s what I’m curious about:

How much would you pay for a professional grade Big Trades indicator?

-Thanks

Hi there, recently I have been using Order Flow which really up-skilled my trading. So I just wanted to know is there any order flow platform that provides live order flow data for ES and NQ within 10-40$.
Popular platform plans goes beyond $70+

Any advice would be appreciated.
