// TRADING TERMINOLOGY
What is Order Flow?
The stream of buy and sell orders currently entering the market.
In-Depth Explanation
Order flow analysis looks at the "immediacy" of the market—who is aggressive, who is passive, and where the "resting" orders are located on the book.
Practical Example
"The trader switched to order flow analysis to see if large sellers were exhausting their supply at the low."
