🎯 WHO IS THIS INDICATOR FOR?
✅ Day Traders who need to identify liquidity levels in real-time

✅ Institutional Traders requiring granular order flow analysis
⚠️ IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS - READ CAREFULLY!
🏦 RECOMMENDED BROKERS (Futures Markets) For the most accurate analysis, it's ESSENTIAL to use a broker that provides real volume data (tick-by-tick):
✅ Recommended for Futures:
- Regulated futures brokers (CME, B3, Eurex, etc.)
- Brokers with direct exchange feeds (no aggregation)
✅ CFDs with Real Volume:
- Dukascopy (supports real volume on CFDs)
❌ NOT RECOMMENDED:
- CFD/Forex brokers that don't provide real volume
- Brokers offering only tick volume (synthetic volume)
📊 What happens without real volume? The indicator will work in approximation mode, distributing candle volume across price levels using statistical algorithms. This still provides useful insights, but won't be as accurate as real tick-by-tick data.
