If you can master orderflow, you will be able to understand how the market truly operates and how price works, which is really the most important thing a trader must understand. And then, you will be able to learn how to capitalize on large moves before they even happen, so that you can make consistent profits. So, welcome to autoflow, ladies and gents.
So, inside this full, complete course on autoflow, here's what you will learn: What is autoflow? Why use autoflow? Right, we have a deeper understanding behind the dynamics of order flow and how price moves, right? Imbalance versus balance, and how order flow actually moves prices, and how to trade with order flow using both footprint charts and candlestick charts.
Now, please watch this video in order from start to the end. Don't skip around, right? If not, you won't be able to understand what I'm actually saying because you need to have a deep understanding of how price works on the fundamental level in order to understand and master order flow. And like I said, if you don't have the attention span to even watch finish a goddamn video, how am I going to have the patience to become a successful trader, dumbass?
Now, what is orderflow? Orderflow trading allows you to see the interactions between the buyers and the sellers in order to identify who is in control of price. And that's really all successful trading is about, right? It's about figuring out who is in control of price, whether the bulls or the bears, and being on the correct side of the market. It's the process of analyzing the flow of trades being placed by other traders, institutional traders, retail traders, on a specific market or an asset by watching the order book or footprint charts, right? So, this really allows traders to see the amount of buy and sell orders that are being placed at a certain time in the market at a given price point. And guess what this allows you to do? This allows you to anticipate changes in price before they even happen.
So, the truth is, why do we use autoflow? Right, what is so magical about autoflow? And the truth is, autoflow is not a holy grail, right? But it allows you to figure out what price is doing, and that's the most important thing ever. And it is not lagging. That means it's not moving like a snail like all the other trading indicators. So, if you are still trading with goddamn moving averages, Bollinger bands, RSI, understand that you are a bit late to the party, bud.
So, in trading, the fastest finger wins. If you are able to understand order flow, you will be able to understand how the market moves and, most importantly, how price works. And this really allows you to gain such a deep understanding of the market and change your paradigm so that you are aligned with the professional traders that actually know how to move the markets, right? And this really allows you to overtake all the other retail traders like what these guys are doing right here, who are still relying on all the lagging trading indicators or freaking stupid chart patterns right here, right? All these guys here, right? So, don't be like these guys here. Be using order flow, my friend.
By trading order flow, you are able to gain an edge over the retail traders, pretty much the entire retail space, because trust me, no retail traders are going to be looking at order flow. Who the hell cares about order flow book when you can rely on chart patterns? Heh heh. You know, because when you are trading order flow, you are able to see institutional activity. That means you are able to see what all the big boys, the smart money, the financial institutions, the investment funds, the, okay, basically all the smart money, what they are doing. And if you're able to see what they are doing earlier than the rest of the world, you will be able to trade with them. So, when those big moves happen in the market, you will be able to get in before they actually even happen.
Now, not only does it allow us to spot institutional activity earlier, it is also much more reliable since it comes straight from a centralized order book, right? And an order book is basically where you see all the limit and market orders that exist inside the market, right? So, all the buy or sell orders are shown on the order book. And this centralized order book literally shows everything, all the orders. This means there are no hidden orders from the black market or something out there, right? It's all on the order book, right? Like, come on, all the orders are literally displayed right in front of your face on the order book itself. And that relationship really helps you understand what's actually going on in the current market environment. And when you are really able to understand what's going on, you are able to be in sync with what the market is actually doing, right? And you will be able to really ride the liquidity. And quite simply put, market liquidity doesn't lie. Numbers can't lie, right? You are literally looking at cohort numbers which tell you exactly who is in control of price. And yeah, there's no way that it's a lie. It's cohort truth.
So, the financial markets work based on the auction market theory, which states that financial markets are just like any other business in this world, meaning there's going to be buyers and sellers, and they are both actively trying to seek the fair value of an asset, right? This theory is based on the principles of supply and demand and the auction process. And that's really how the world works, right? If you go to the market, right, you're essentially buying from a seller. And if you are trying to sell away your old car or your Apple iPhone or whatever, you are essentially looking for a buyer to fill up your sell order, right? Same thing with the financial markets.
So, let me just give you a quick example to really deepen your understanding behind this auction market theory and what is this complicated weirdness all about. Say there is a beautiful five-bedroom house that is on auction right now and it's priced at $400,000. Now, since this house is so gorgeous and it's located right beside the beach, you know, has such a great location, people perceive this house as valuable, so they start bidding for it. "I want to buy this house at $420,000." "I want to buy this at $430,000." And then when this happens, this creates demand, right? This creates demand for the house. And since there's only one house and there's so many people bidding for the house, demand exceeds supply, right? When demand exceeds supply, this drives the price of the house up to $450,000. Now, this is the new price that the market deems is fair, meaning this is the fair value of the house.
Now, suddenly, let's say there's bad news, okay? Bad news comes out about the house. It's being announced, uh, the roof is falling apart, uh, it does not include furniture, right? So, whatever you see right there is just your imagination, it's not real, right? You are not going to get the nice letter. So, furniture is not included with the house. Boom. When this happens, people start backing out. "Yeah, come on, man. This is what I expected and this is what I get. Come on, doesn't make no sense." So, people start backing out. And since less people want the house now, supply exceeds demand, right? And this causes prices of the house to drop to $420,000, which is the new fair value of the house, right? It's the price where the bidders deem as fair, since now it has taken into account all this bad news, right? And if they project the cash flow, how much return on investment this house can actually get me, it's actually not that great, right? So, this is the new fair value.
However, let's say later on, good news comes out again. "If you buy this house, you get a nice Tesla, right, for free." "Buy one, get one free." This obviously is not real, but let's say it's real. Later on, good news comes out, and this causes price to actually increase back to $450,000, right? Because now there are people who are more interested in the house, and demand exceeds supply once again.
Essentially, this is what happens in the markets every single day. Every single day, buyers and sellers meet each other, and what they are doing is that they are trying to find the fair value of an asset, be it a stock or a cryptocoin or a Forex currency pair, right? Which results in buy or sell orders, which pretty much constitute the order book and make up the order flow. And this is exactly why price is always moving from balance to imbalance to balance and imbalance, right? If you look at the charts right now, any price charts on TradingView, whatever, you will notice this common similarity. And this is essentially just how the markets move on a fundamental level, right? To really understand how it moves on a fundamental level, you need to understand the concept of balance and imbalance.
So, in a balanced market, buyers and sellers agree on a certain price based on their perception of what is fair, your fair value. And this leads to lower volatility, and price just remains quite stable, right? And this causes price to range, just stuck in a consolidation, just like this, where it's just going sideways and not really going anywhere. However, financial markets cannot stay in this balance forever because new information is going to come in. New information, whether that is fundamental news or it could be technical, right, based on price action. This causes markets to move away from the fair value and transition into a completely different environment, which is your imbalance, right? And imbalance occurs when there is a disagreement about the fair value. And this is where one side of the market participants, be the buyers or the sellers, they actually become more aggressive, and this leads to a trending market. And imbalance actually causes price to either move higher or lower until eventually this imbalance fades away, doesn't have enough momentum anymore, and it stops, and price starts consolidating again, going back to the balance phase. And then eventually, it can't stay in the balance forever, so it eventually breaks off the balance phase, goes into the imbalance phase, back to balance, and this just happens over and over again, right? And this is essentially just how the markets work. If you think about it, this is actually how the universe and how life works. It's always a balance between chaos and order, yin and yang.
So, quite simply put, the markets are basically an oscillation between imbalance and balance because it is always seeking fair value. When there is an efficient market, it is not able to stay in there forever because eventually, due to some sort of new information, demand will exceed supply or supply will exceed demand. And then when this happens, this causes your imbalance to occur, right? Where there's a lot of buyers versus sellers or a lot of sellers versus buyers. Imbalance, right? Just imagine a seesaw, right? It's like it's not balanced, right? That's why we call it imbalance. And when there's this imbalance, it creates inefficiency in price. And then price looks for balance again to form an efficient market. And this whole loop just keeps happening over and over again forever. And this is essentially just how the market works. Don't ask me why, this is just how it works, right?
So, your goal as a trader is to really make sure that you can capitalize on the imbalance moves because that is where the big money is at. Just think about it, when you look on the charts, you identify all those large moves that you always miss because you suck at trading. These are where the big gold mine is. This is where you're able to make the most amount of money by really capitalizing on all these large moves. So, like I said, your job is to look for these large moves and actually get in before they happen so you can ride this large move and make a lot of money very, very fast.
Now, when you look at a candlestick chart, just like this, it doesn't really give us information that tells us about volume, price, and the exchange between sellers and buyers, right? When you see something like this, all these green candlesticks, that just means this is actually a bullish candlestick, right? And this tells us that, okay, there's buying momentum and price is going up. But that's all it is. That's all a candlestick chart tells us. And if you see a red candlestick, it just means that price is bearish and price is going down. Now, you're essentially looking at the outcome of buyers and sellers, right? You are not looking at how it was being formed. And looking at just what price is doing, like what's the outcome, right? It doesn't really tell you what is going on at a deeper level beneath the candlestick. And that is when your footprint chart comes in, right?
So, this footprint chart, how it works is that, once again, it dissects the candlestick into orders, right? Right, so the right-hand side, all these numbers right here, it basically shows you the buy orders, right? The market orders on the right side are the buyers, right? So, you can see all these numbers, it's essentially how much buy orders at the specific price. And then on the left-hand side, this is basically how much sell orders on the left-hand side. What the candlestick does is that it just shows you the outcome, right? It shows you the high price, the close, the open, and the low. But a footprint chart actually shows you how many orders, how many buy or sell orders happened at each price, each pip. Now, this is important because when you are able to get so much more information when it comes to volume and the exchange between the buyers and the sellers, between the supply and demand, this allows you to really understand on the fundamental level who is actually in control of the market. And yeah, this is just very powerful. If you can really look at this footprint chart and actually understand what is going on with all these numbers, you will be able to understand that nothing is random in the market.
Now, let's talk about how order flow actually moves prices, right? And let's kind of understand how this footprint chart works on a deeper level. So, when you look at your bid and ask spread, or whether this is actually your order book, right? Let's look at the order book and how this order book works is that these numbers on the right-hand side, these are, right? These are essentially your sell orders, okay? As simple as that. These are your sell orders. And then this bid, right here, these are essentially your buy orders, okay? But here's the the tricky part, right? These numbers right here, right? It represents the amount of orders at the specific price. So, this is essentially 1,300 sell orders at this price, and then this is 1,687 sell orders at this price. But you can see this is the market price. This is where the market currently is at right now. This is the price of a specific asset right now. So, over here, right, all of this right here, all of these are essentially what we call your limit orders. Now, if you don't understand what are limit orders, they are basically orders that have yet been activated. They are pretty much pending orders inside the market, right? Because right now, this is where the market is at, right? This price right here is the price of the asset. And right now, these sellers, they want to actually enter for a sale at this price. They want to enter for a sale at this price or this price, right? And you can see these are the different number of orders that is located at different prices, right? These are all limit orders which haven't been activated yet.
Now, let's say there is an apple that costs $5. And this is just to help you understand what is the difference between a limit order and a market order. So, an apple costs $5. A market order is you buy the apple right now at $5, right? You don't care about what the price is right now, you just buy. Okay, that's a market order. You execute at the current market price. A limit order is when, under some sort of condition, you only want to buy an apple only if it costs less than $3, okay? That means that $3, it's actually below the current market price, which is $5. So, in that scenario, I only want to buy when it's at $3. But right now, it's not at $3 yet, so I will wait until the price of the apple drops to $3, then I will get in for the order, right? So, that is essentially what a limit order is. Now, the apple will be bought when its price drops to $3 or lower.
So, quite simply, when you look at order flow, if you think about it from the first-person perspective, or underlying belief, order flow is essentially an interaction between your limit orders and your market orders, and this pretty much forms the liquidity that you see in the market. So, let's say John, right? John, this guy is a trader working for a large financial institution, and this guy has insider information, right? Which is not accessible to the public, right? That is why, right, when you look at news and you expect the news to actually come up and actually cause price to move, but then price has already made a huge move before the news even come out. And that's most likely because these institutional traders, this smart money, they have inside information and they act on it before the news actually come out, which results in all these large moves before they even happen.
So, yeah, let's say John, this guy, right? He's an institutional trader, right? So, that means he's managing millions of dollars. He has a lot of buying power, right? And he has insider information which happens to be positive news. So, he has to act on this information as soon as possible before the market knows about it, before the news comes out, and the market takes into account of the news. He has to act on it right now. So, he's not going to be placing a limit order, which will take like a few hours to fill up. He's going to execute a market order, which allows him to get into the buy position immediately. And he's going to do it with a large sum of money, and I'm talking about millions, if not billions of dollars here. And this is essentially where a process actually creates imbalances, right? This actually fills up all the asks on the order book, right? It fills up all these ask orders. You can see previously it was like thousands of sell orders right here, right? Thousands of sell orders, but right now it's all being filled up. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. It's all been filled up. And when this happens, it's because he was able to execute a large buy order, right? Was able to enter into the market in bulk. And this creates massive imbalances in the market. If you look at the left-hand side, right? It creates your imbalances. And like I said, your goal as a trader is to really spot the imbalance moves before they actually happen so that you can ride the big money and make bank.
Now, how do we spot these imbalances and order flow by utilizing footprint charts, right? And that's what we're going to talk about next. So, where do you actually find footprint charts? There's actually three main software that you can actually find these footprint charts to trade with, to really understand the underlying order flow. And first is ATAS, and second is TradingView, and next is Sierra Chart, right? In my opinion, I think ATAS is the best software to actually use when it comes to finding and actually utilizing your footprint charts. But like I said, here's a quick note: footprint charts are not cheap at all. Yeah, it's actually not cheap. So, if you want to trade like a professional trader, because this is what professional traders look at, it's not going to be cheap. Just going to warn you. And yeah, different software have different packages and different pricing for the footprint chart. Anyways.
Now, let's go on to the footprint charts and let's learn how to trade order flow. Now, when you go on to TradingView, you have the option to switch to your footprint charts just by pressing this button right here. And right now, you're probably on the candlestick charts. Just need to press it, click, volume footprint, and then you will be able to switch to the footprint charts. Bear in mind, this is only on the Premium plan and above. So, you do need to purchase a subscription with TradingView in order to access these footprint charts. Like I said, it's not cheap. But if you want to be serious in trading and you want to add these footprint charts into your arsenal, then this is something that I recommend you to actually invest in, right?
So, let's dive deep into how to actually read these footprint charts, right? So, I'm just going to zoom into one candlestick like this. So, over here, we've got the candlestick. And on the right-hand side, we pretty much got the buying volume, right? The buy orders. And then the left-hand side, we got the sell orders, the selling volume, right? So, this is basically your bid and ask, right? So, when you look at this, you can see there's a lot of things going on here. But like I said, I'm just going to simplify things for you guys by having like a little description for you to actually understand what's actually going on with this footprint thing here, right? So, uh, first of all, maybe you want to copy my settings. So, let me just show you my settings. You can just pause the video right now and you can just copy these settings that I have right now. And basically, the darker the gradient, right? You can see the darker the gradient of the footprint rectangle thing, the more volume that is, right? The more orders that is, right? So, let's go dive deep into how understanding how to actually read these footprint charts, right?
So, once again, left-hand side, what you see is your sell orders. And like I said, the darker the color, right? The more orders that is, right? So, you can see the number in the middle that pretty much just represents the number of limit orders, right? That pretty much represents the number of orders inside the market, right? Limit or market orders, right? So, you can see the gray box basically represents like the most amount of orders. So, pretty much this pricing right here, 1.08 for a level, this is when there was the most amount of buy orders and there's the most amount of sell orders being filled up, right? So, you can see 4.622k buy orders right there, 4,3828k sell orders right there, right? So, that's basically how you read these numbers, right? So, first thing you have to understand is that the darker the shade of the green or red, right? The more orders that is. And yeah, the higher the number is basically means that is a higher amount of orders. It's not rocket science.
And then when you come down here, this Delta thing, right? Delta, this number right here, it basically represents the difference between your buy and selling volume or orders, right? So, it's basically just take the total amount of buy orders, minus the total amount of your sell orders, okay? And then the total, right here, this number right here is pretty much the total volume, the total amount of orders when this entire candlestick was being formed right here, okay? So, if you see like a positive Delta number like this, like 7.534k, that's pretty positive, right? This tells us that there is aggressive buying. Now, if you see a negative number, like say, maybe this one right here, yeah, this one right here, you can see this means that there is aggressive selling, right? And one thing to note is that just because the number is positive or negative does not really mean that the number like it correlates to who is in control of price. For example, right here, even though the Delta was negative, right? Meaning there is a lot of aggressive selling going on here, the candlestick actually ended up bullish, right? It ended up being a bullish candlestick, which means the bulls are actually in control of price, even though there was a lot of selling. So, yeah, that's one thing that you guys have to be careful of. Don't just assume that just because the Delta is negative that means that sellers are in control, or just because the Delta is positive, buyers are in control.
Now, that's basically how this entire footprint chart actually works, like how you actually read it. And that's different types that you can actually choose from. You can see this is the normal buy and sell one. And then you can have one where is the Delta one, which is just focused on, like, just one row instead of having two rows where you differentiate the buy and sell one. You just have one row which shows you the total buy volume here, total sell volume here. And then if you go to the total, this is just volume, right? Just really looking at the total amount of orders, total amount of volume. So, yeah, that's pretty much how it is. We're just going to stick to this one because this one really tells us the buy orders, the sell orders, and whether there's any sort of imbalance whatsoever, okay? So, that's basically how you understand a footprint chart.
Now, let's talk about how to actually trade it, how to actually add it into our trading arsenal. First things first, this is a very important thing to note, right? I don't really like to jump straight into the footprint charts because this is what your charts will look like if you just jump straight into the footprint charts. It's very hard for you to understand what's actually going on. So, what I like to do is that I would start off by analyzing my charts on the candlestick charts, you know, normal candlestick chart. And how I trade is that I always like to build a higher time frame narrative first. That means I need to understand who is in control of price on the higher time frame. And for to do that, I don't really need to look at footprint charts to actually confuse myself. I just look at candlestick charts, I analyze the price action, I look at the market structure to see whether price is in bullish or bearish order flow, right? So, obviously, first things first is you map out your market structure, right? So, if I have to map up my market structure based on what we have right here, you can see price is pretty bullish right now. So, price actually created a market shift right there, and then this led to the market reversing from bearish to bullish. So, now, based on looking at the candlesticks alone, you would see that the buyers are actually in control of price right there. There is more demand than supply in the market. And then when price actually breaks above the market shift, it actually ends up creating a new higher high, higher low, and it's starting to create a new high. So, I can actually have my bullish break of structure right now, right? So, that's all I'm trying to do is to really map out the market structure, identify any sort of underlying point of interest, maybe that's like a supply zone that we have right here, right? You can see your supply zone marked up, any significant point of interest. Then there's a demand zone right here. So, we are pretty much playing within this range right now, right? So, the first things first is to always go and build the higher time frame narrative to see what is the range that you are trading within, and also to see whether price is in a bullish uptrend or a bearish order flow, right? And we do that just by purely looking at candlesticks, right? And really analyzing the market structure.
Now, my point, or rather, here's a tip for you guys, because this is what I do, right? I just wait for price to get to a point of interest, then I switch to footprint charts, okay? So, I only search do footprint charts when price gets to some sort of demand zone or supply zone or order block or swipe zone or flip zone, some sort of point of interest, because what I'm trying to do is to figure out whether price will respect or disregard that point of interest, like just blast right through it. And how I know that price will actually respect this point of interest is when I go down and look at the footprint and I see whether the sellers or the buyers are in control of price at this area. If at this area, this buying momentum starts losing some sort of momentum, right? And I can see like the buying volume fading away, right? The buying, the buy orders are fading away, and the sell limit orders are just filling up, and it's going to cause price to actually respect this supply zone that we have right here and actually go down. If I am able to see sustained buying pressure and actually there's a lot of buying volume and it can actually sustain, right? There's actually aggressive buyers and the buyers are still in control, then most likely it's going to pierce right past this point of interest that we have right here, okay?
So, right now, price has reached our point of interest. Let me just delete this, and then I will probably just switch to the footprint charts right here, footprint charts, and then I will go down to perhaps the smaller time frame to analyze what price is doing at this supply zone, right? So, like I said, right, just because you get a negative Delta does not mean that the sellers are in control of price, right? So, you just need to understand that what this footprint charts does is that it tells you who is more aggressive and who is more passive. Now, the aggressive people are the ones that is filling up the market orders, right? They actually filling up the market orders. They don't care about what price the market is at right now, they just want to enter for the trade. Those are the aggressive traders. And then the passive traders are the ones that have their limit orders, right? They have their buy limit orders, they have their sell limit orders, right? They are not as aggressive as the aggressors, right? And yeah, that's basically what it shows you, who is more aggressive, who is more passive. And like I said, the higher the number, the more aggressive the person is, right? The trader is. And like I said, most importantly, you just want to focus on the volume, right? At the point of interest. So, right now, price comes into this supply zone. How do we know that price is going to respect this supply zone? We need to see that the price actually loses control, right? I mean, the buyers actually lose control at this supply zone. That is what we want to see. If price were to respect this supply zone and reverse, you must see the buy orders, right? The buying volume fades away, and supply steps into the market and takes control of the market, right? That's all we are trying to do.
So, right here, you see price approaching this supply zone. And if you are observing the Delta that we have right here, right? And looking at the total orders, what we have is that there's a lot of strong momentum, right? You can see positive Delta right there. There's a lot of aggressive buying into this supply zone, and the volume is also quite high, right? The volume is also quite high, and just getting more and more aggressive. But you can see over here, the trading volume is starting to decrease a little bit compared to what we have right here. So, there is some sort of supply starting to enter into the market. So, to simplify things even further, let me just draw it out for you guys, like a quick example. So, let's say there's a demand zone right here, and then price is going down, right? To the demand zone, and it has a lot of aggressive selling volume, right? And price is just going down, you know, negative Delta, strong amount of volume, there's a lot of orders, a lot of momentum pushing the price down. Eventually, when price gets to this demand zone, you realize that it can't seem to break past it multiple times, right? Even though there's a lot of aggressive selling, right? But it can't seem to break past it. This is because there's a lot of demand at this demand zone, and pretty much all the buy limit orders that we have right here is just eating up all the aggressive sell orders, right? It's literally like Pac-Man, right? All the passive limit orders right here, all the buy limit orders right here is eating up all the aggressive sell orders. That's why this demand zone is most likely going to hold, and price is going to trade even higher and potentially reverse because of the fact that the buyers are actually took back control of the market at this demand zone, just because the passive limit orders was just so overwhelming. So, that's essentially what we are trying to do by using the footprint to do, right? So, by seeing price actually approach this supply zone that we have right here, we need to see what the volume is actually showing us, right? We need to see whether the aggressive buyers are able to break past this zone. And to do that, it must overwhelm the sell limit orders at this area here. If not, then the supply will come and step into the market, and price is just going to reverse and hit back down, as simple as that.
Now, here's another example. So, based on the price action that we can see right here, there's a lot of demand at this area, right? There's pretty much a lot of demand at this area supporting price, right? So, this entire area here, there's a lot of demand at this area. So, this is the demand zone. And you can see as price comes down into the demand zone, right? We observe the candlestick when it actually reached that point of interest, right? So, that is where we really want to focus on the footprint, right? And if you look at this candlestick right here, the one that actually touched into the demand zone, what we have right here was that there was a lot of aggressive selling, right? There's a lot of aggressive selling that results in a negative Delta, all right? And if you look at this, there's a lot of trading volume and there's a lot of aggressive selling. But if you look at the buy orders, right? That is 2.462k buy orders, and that completely overwhelmed the 1.381k sell orders. Now, this pretty much tells us that, okay, even though the sellers were aggressive, but then there is so much demand at this demand zone, right? There was so much passive limit orders, buy limit orders, that actually just completely ate up the sell orders that we have right here, which resulted in price respecting this demand zone, right? And then next thing you know, demand stepped into the market and pushed price up, forming this huge bullish candlestick right here. And you can see the Delta is a very big number, like a very big positive number, right? And this pretty much just shows us that demand have officially stepped into the market. And quite simply, that's essentially how you actually trade footprint charts, right? You basically just want to wait for price to get to a point of interest, right? Be it a supply or demand zone. And then to decide whether it's going to respect that supply and demand zone, you go and look at the aggressive selling, aggressive buying, and then figure out who is actually in control of price, right? And just like I said, just because that is aggressive selling doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to break past the demand zone because the passive buy limit orders can eventually just eat up the aggressive selling and just cause price to reverse.
So, my advice would be to always start off with the higher time frame, looking at the candlestick chart first to figure out who is actually in control of price, like whether price is bullish or bearish based on the higher time frame narrative. And as much as possible, stick to the buyers. So, if price is bullish on the four-hour time frame, you should potentially look for buy orders within the lower time frames. And then you just wait for price to get to some sort of demand zone, right? And then once price gets into the demand zone on the lower time frame, you go to your footprint charts and you see that what you want to see is that you want to see buyers stepping back into control of price, right? If price is pulling back to that demand zone, you want to see buyers stepping back into control. And that is when you can potentially enter for your trade, right?
So, all footprint charts work is that it acts as like an additional signal, right? So, at the end of the day, price action, market structure, supply and demand, liquidity, all of these concepts are really what drive the market as well, right? And they are, they always going to be the core components of my own trading strategy, my own mechanical trading strategy. This order flow, this footprint charts thing is just an additional confluence to me. So, yeah, just understand that footprint charts are not the holy grail to trading. You're not going to automatically make $1 million after you started learning about footprint charts, right? Right. And the thing is, you guys need to understand that this footprint chart is just an additional confluence, an additional tool in your arsenal. So, that right now, you don't just have market structure, you don't just have price action on supply and demand, but you have also understood the order flow, the underlying forces of what actually move the market, and you can really figure out who is in control of price. Like I said, there's no point of understanding order flow and footprint charts if you cannot even identify your point of interest correctly, if you cannot identify your supply and demand zones properly. There's no point of you just looking at footprint charts, right? You're not just going to enter for a buy or sell automatically just because you see there's aggressive buying and aggressive selling. It doesn't work that way. You need that additional confluence to support your bias. So, yeah, this is just one of the 154 plus in-depth video lessons that we have inside the 1% Club.
