BTCUSD Order Flow Scalping + Automation

  • #1
  • First Post: May 26, 2026 4:58am May 26, 2026 4:58am
I’ve been trading BTCUSD using order flow tools, mainly the DOM and footprint charts, with a focus on short-term scalping and execution-based setups.

This thread will serve as a public journal where I post:

  1. live and historical footprint examples
  2. DOM observations
  3. absorption/exhaustion setups
  4. liquidity reactions
  5. trade management and execution ideas
  6. statistics and performance tracking
  7. development of an automated strategy based on recurring order flow patterns

The goal is not to predict the market, but to read participation, aggression, and liquidity in real time.
Most of the content will focus on:

  1. BTCUSD
  2. low timeframe scalping
  3. footprint imbalances
  4. bid/ask interaction
  5. delta behavior
  6. liquidity sweeps
  7. automation logic and strategy building

I’ll also document what works, what fails, and how the strategy evolves over time.

This will be a slow process so dont expect results too quick for an automated system!!!

will focus on this zone for now. wont take a direct entry, i will always wait for reacton + confirmation!

EDIT: i can already see that sellers are starting to move their orders down as price develops, might need to adjust the zone based on that.

frist idea of automation is to check for quick delt echanges and maybe patterns. Maybe even implementation of a machine learning model. Also it might be smart to check the DOM and TAPE for actual orders getting executed and which are still left, with that we could filter out some fake orders.

If you have more ideas let me know
