Order flow · NQ / ES futures
Futures order flow software, distilled into one chart.
Cumulative delta, delta histograms, VPOC magnets and liquidity mapping for NQ and ES — streamed live underneath your price action so you can read intent before structure confirms.
Per-bar aggressive buying vs. selling rendered as a histogram strip. Spot absorption and exhaustion at swing highs and lows without leaving the chart.
A running CVD line that confirms or diverges from price — the engine's primary order-flow tell for a sweep that's actually getting bought, not faded.
The session volume point of control is tracked live and acts as a magnet for price. Setups inside value get one weighting; setups at value-area extremes get another.
Equal highs/lows, prior-day extremes and Asia/London ranges are clustered into liquidity pools. The engine knows which pool price is reaching for before the move starts.
When order flow contradicts a setup, size is auto-reduced. When CVD aligns with HTF bias and a clean liquidity sweep prints, the sizing tier promotes.
Daily loss caps, trailing drawdown and consistency rules feed the same engine. Automation disarms automatically as a limit is approached — no orphan stops.
Order flow is one half of the read
Order flow tells you who is in control right now. To know where price is going, the engine pairs it with the ICT trading overlay — fair value gaps, market structure shifts, premium/discount zones — and a session filter that weights NY differently from Asia.

Frequently asked
What is order flow software for futures?
It measures the imbalance between aggressive buyers and sellers via delta, CVD and volume profile, so you can see who's in control before price confirms.
Do I need a separate DOM or footprint chart?
No. The order-flow strip lives under the price chart. It's built for decision support on NQ and ES, not ladder scalping.
Does it work on Topstep Eval and Funded accounts?
Yes. The same engine runs on both. Daily loss caps, trailing drawdown and consistency tracking are live.
Decision-support instrument. Not financial advice. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss.
