Delta Flow Profile
By LuxAlgoAug 13, 2024
The Delta Flow Profile answers two questions at every price level: how much business was done there, and who was in charge while it happened. The sentiment half is a delta profile, net buying versus selling pressure per row, while the Money Flow Profile half accumulates total activity, with an optional normalized display scoring each row as a percentage of the peak level (100% marks the heaviest money flow). Together they reveal the prices where markets genuinely transacted and the side that dominated.
How to Trade the Delta Flow Profile?
- High money-flow rows: zones of concentrated activity often act as support or resistance, natural benchmarks for future tests.
- Delta dominance: rows with a pronounced volume delta imbalance show which side controlled that price; on a revisit, the dominant side may reinforce its orders there, pressing price in the prevailing direction.
- Level of Significance: follow the heaviest zone as a Developing line, a single Level, or a full Row: the reference market participants are most likely to defend or target.
Profiles compute over a lookback length or a fixed range, so the analysis can anchor to a session, a swing, or any window that matters to your strategy.
Delta Flow Profile Settings
- Money Flow Profile / Normalized / Sentiment Profile: toggle each histogram, including the percentage-normalized comparison view.

- Level of Significance: show or hide the significant level and choose its display method.
- Lookback Length / Fixed Range: the analysis window.
- Number of Rows: histogram resolution for each profile.
- Display: profile width percentage, horizontal offset, text and currency labels, and price-level visibility.
