Order Flow Pressure Meter
A HUD pressure meter — who is in control
The Order Flow Pressure Meter combines two independent views of pressure into one clear HUD that stays in the corner and does not scroll with the bars. Δ FLOW measures aggressive trade delta (who is actively trading, works without depth), BOOK measures the imbalance of the resting book around the mid (depth pressure). Both values are EMA-smoothed for a steady needle.

Cheaper in a bundle →What it does
- Three styles: horizontal bar, vertical bar, needle gauge
- Two sources: Δ FLOW (aggressive delta) and BOOK (depth imbalance)
- Choose the chart corner and HUD size
- Adjustable EMA smoothing and delta lookback
- Book band around the mid (± ticks) or all levels
- Readable even without depth (Δ FLOW only)
How to read it
Fill / needle to the right (positive %) = buyers dominate; to the left = sellers.
Δ FLOW vs BOOK conflict — aggressive buyers but the book is offer-heavy = buyers hitting passive sellers → possible absorption / resistance.
Both sources agree = strong, confirmed pressure. Use as quick context, not a standalone signal.
