Institutional Order Flow Strength Classifier

By LuxAlgoFeb 12, 2026

Institutional Order Flow Strength Classifier detects unmitigated order blocks at confirmed structure breaks and grades every zone from 0-100%, so the levels most likely to carry institutional order flow stand apart from ordinary pivots. The score blends two weighted measures: displacement (how far price expanded away from the zone relative to its size) at 60%, and the zone candle's volume against its 20-period average at 40%.

How to Trade the Institutional Order Flow Strength Classifier?

  • Above 70%: strong displacement on above-average volume, candidate zones for limit-order entries and major supply or demand.
  • 40-70%: continuation-grade zones, commonly used for pullback entries, scaling, or stop placement within a trend.
  • Below 40%: weak displacement or thin volume, zones that often behave as internal liquidity and get swept rather than respected.
  • Strongest OB background: the solid filled area marks the highest-ranked active block within your buffer, a fast reference for bias and risk decisions.

Mitigation keeps the map current: a bullish zone is removed once price crosses below its bottom, a bearish zone once price crosses above its top. The Zonal Overlap system hides redundant boxes that stack in the same price region, leaving one representative zone per area.

Institutional Order Flow Strength Classifier Settings

  • Hide Overlapped Zones: collapses blocks that share a price region.
  • Show Strength Labels: prints each zone's percentage score.
  • Show Strongest OB Plot and Strongest OB Buffer Size: toggle the background highlight and set how many recent zones are scanned for it.
