Order Flow, like any other trading discipline, is not some special secret. It is, however, a great way to understand how technical and fundamental analysis collides to create market direction....
good to know ....I have been studying a great deal about order flow and couldn't figure out all that cryptic talk.
but it certainly has helped me start to understand price action at certain levels,how to fade a rally and vice versa...but I'm still learning.

what i found about orderflow was too subjective to use in real life....don't believe the hype...

however what I got is how price acts around s&r....how to fade spikes at this levels but never got to refine the technique after I found a better swing trading system that focuses on overextended price reverting to the mean...I guess it uses order flow

commercials provide liquidity coz they use limit orders....the market maker has to find liquidity to fill large orders hence looks for stops.he usually frontruns a big customer order with positive expectation.

big speculative customers also seeks to get out of his position at places where stops are deemed to be to avoid prices returning from where he bought.

also the market maker has to always hedge hence he shorts during rallies and vice versa so he is interested in squeezing the longs or short when in extremes for extra profit.

all this factors play in the charts and most of it can be taken advantage of.
