💡 How It Works
The indicator analyzes tick volume data and distributes it across price levels within each bar, simulating institutional order flow patterns. While it uses tick volume (not actual order flow), the algorithm intelligently calculates buy/sell distribution based on:
- Price direction (bullish/bearish bars)
- Volume concentration at different price levels
- Momentum and price action context
- Statistical distribution models

- Time entries with volume clusters
For Position Traders:
