Order flow (ICT)Advanced
In ICT usage, the direction in which price keeps respecting bullish or bearish zones, not exchange order-book data.
Simplified illustration, not real market data.
What it means
Bullish order flow means bullish gaps and order blocks are holding and bearish ones are being broken. It is a way of reading structure through zones.
How to spot it
- Are recent bullish FVGs holding as support? Then order flow is bullish.
Common mistakes
- Confusing it with order-book or footprint analysis, which is a different thing.
