Liquidity Structure & Order Flow

By LuxAlgoFeb 19, 2026

Static chart image

Liquidity Structure & Order Flow shows where the market is heavy, who is aggressive inside that weight, and where price can slip fast. A lookback volume profile sets the value area (VAH to VAL) and point of control, mapping the clustered liquidity that anchors levels; a backdrop colors each price bin by EMA-smoothed delta flow; and the widest void (the longest run of bins under 15% of POC volume) is flagged as the low-friction lane.

How to Trade the Liquidity Structure & Order Flow?

  • Value area as regime: inside VAH–VAL the market is balanced and range tactics apply; a break beyond it signals imbalance and often a fresh trend leg.
  • Absorption at the edges: strong delta into a value-area edge without follow-through suggests passive orders defending the level: reversal or fake-breakout risk.
  • Widest void as target: price tends to cross it quickly toward the next high-liquidity node: natural breakout targets and take-profit zones.
  • Unusual Volume Bubbles: volume Z-scored against a 200-period baseline prints as deviation-scaled bubbles; extremes at the POC, VAH/VAL, or swing points strengthen the reaction case.
  • Volume ribbons: cumulative curves above (red) and below (green) the midpoint show which side of the range is heavier.

Liquidity Structure & Order Flow Settings

  • Lookback Period: bars feeding the volume profile.
  • Weight Recent Volume: tilts the profile toward fresh activity.
  • Value Area %: the share of volume the value area contains.
  • Profile Smoothing: reduces heatmap noise.
  • Show Volume Delta Panel / Delta Intensity / Delta Smoothing Length: the delta backdrop's toggle, saturation, and EMA length.
  • Sensitivity (Z-Score) with Min/Max Bubble Size: bubble trigger threshold and visual scaling.
  • Show Heatmap, Highlight Widest Void, Curves X-Offset, Dashboard: display layers, with the dashboard reporting Mass Skew, Distance to POC, and Aggregated Delta.
