The order flow map, written down

Order flow is taught almost entirely in video, tied to one piece of software, and padded with numbers nobody has ever verified. This is the written alternative: a structured course you can read, search and print, plus a free glossary that is already online.

What it is

A written course covering the full order flow stack — market microstructure, auction theory, volume profile, footprint, depth of market, liquidity, and the trade construction that sits on top of them. Roughly a dozen modules, each with worked exercises and answer keys, a quiz, and printable one-page summaries.

Software-agnostic. The concepts are taught against the mechanism, not against a vendor's interface. Where a platform matters, the differences are documented — not hidden behind a screenshot of one product.

Every illustration is generated from synthetic data. Nothing on this site or in the product reproduces exchange market data, and no third-party interface is copied.

What it is not

It is not a signal service, a room, or a system. It will never show you an account statement, a screenshot of a winning trade, or a monthly return — those are the currency of the business this is written against, and in most jurisdictions promoting them is regulated for good reason.

It will not pretend that field heuristics are laws. When a widely repeated number has never been replicated publicly — the 80% rule, the share of naked points of control that get retested, the frequency of poor highs — the course says so, in the same sentence as the number.

What you can read today, for free

The glossary is live and open: definitions of the vocabulary order flow traders actually use, each with a worked example and the mistake the concept usually causes. It is the same voice as the course, so it doubles as a sample.

Price

Published in full, always: see pricing. No hidden tiers, no call to book, no price revealed only after an email. Four of the eight best-known competitors in this niche do not publish theirs; that is a choice, and so is this one.

The course is in preparation. The launch price and the founding-cohort window are on the pricing page, with real dates.
