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.
  • Polarity Method: Bar Polarity infers delta from candle sentiment; Bar Buying/Selling Pressure uses high/low data for higher precision.
  • 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.
