# Orderflow

### Overview

The Order Flow Indicator is a tool used in market analysis to visualize the proportion of buy and sell market orders in relation to the total volume of a trading period (like a candlestick). It provides insights into the market's buying and selling pressure and can help traders understand the strength of a price trend.

### Interpretation

The Order Flow Indicator is interpreted as follows:

* A positive Order Flow value indicates that the buying pressure is stronger, suggesting an upward price trend.
* A negative Order Flow value shows that the selling pressure is stronger, suggesting a downward price trend.

## Indicator Triggers:
