It's incredible how the VIX served as a map for me to know what to look for today. When it rose and made the LAAF, I thought, "I'll just look for buys," but then when it broke the resistance again, I knew that this second attempt indicated something bigger, which prevented me from joining any kind of buying. Thank you for what you do, you really are a great mentor

Great Smash, very nice thanks! What kind of chart is that on figure 4, some kind of heatmap?

Thank you! Yes, a heatmap with volume bubbles for large executed orders.

I’ve never used the TPO chart in TradingView, but today’s session had two sets of single prints—the I and J periods.

In TradingView, for ES, TPOs are not displayed with fewer than three ticks per letter, so you may miss information. On the other hand, if you configure it to the automatic option, it uses 10-20 ticks per letter, so it will most likely not show the singles.

Is that because it only provides aggregated tick data?

could be the reason, I'm really not sure, I do know that the data for orderflow and granular in tick is approximate, and the other thing is that they discrepancies are due to the fact that data provider filters the odd lots trades out in the history, and as a result, intraday charts are built based on the full trades only.
