Trader nutzen Orderflow-Daten, um zu sehen, wo sich der Kauf- und Verkaufsdruck auf bestimmten Preisniveaus konzentriert. Dies gibt ihnen einen Einblick in das kurzfristige Angebot und die Nachfrage, der auf einem Standard-Preischart allein nicht sichtbar ist. Die Orderflow-Analyse ist besonders im Futures- und Aktienhandel verbreitet, wo die Marktstruktur Markttiefe- und Transaktionsdaten leicht zug\u00e4nglich macht.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Die Orderflow-Analyse umfasst in der Regel mehrere Datenquellen. Die Markttiefe (Depth of Market, DOM) zeigt ausstehende Kauf- und Verkaufsauftr\u00e4ge auf jedem Preisniveau und offenbart, wo gro\u00dfe ruhende Auftr\u00e4ge als Unterst\u00fctzung oder Widerstand wirken k\u00f6nnen. Time-and-Sales-Daten erfassen jeden ausgef\u00fchrten Trade mit Preis, Gr\u00f6\u00dfe und der Information, ob er den Geld- (Bid) oder Briefkurs (Ask) getroffen hat. Footprint-Charts zeigen das gehandelte Volumen bei jedem Preis innerhalb jedes Balkens an, sodass Trader sehen k\u00f6nnen, wo aggressives Kaufen oder Verkaufen stattfand. Zusammen erm\u00f6glichen diese Ansichten Tradern zu erkennen, wie sich aktive Marktteilnehmer in Echtzeit positionieren.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orderflow-Trading ist ein beliebter Ansatz unter Funded Tradern im Futures-Handel, wo die Daten weithin verf\u00fcgbar sind und die Strategien in der Regel kurz genug sind, um innerhalb der Risikoregeln von Prop-Trading-Firmen zu funktionieren.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"glossary-category":[131],"class_list":["post-6440","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary-category-trader-glossary"],"acf":{"target_keyword":"order flow","glossary_post_image":"","key_takeaway":"Key Takeaway","key_takeaway_description":"Order flow is the pattern and volume of buy and sell orders moving through a market in real time. Traders use depth of market, time and sales, and footprint charts to read short-term supply and demand pressure. ","faq":"<b>What tools do order flow traders typically use?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main tools are the depth of market (DOM), which shows pending orders at each price level, time and sales data showing every executed trade, and footprint charts that display volume traded inside each price bar. Advanced platforms also provide heatmaps, cumulative delta, and volume profile tools that build on the same underlying order data.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Is order flow trading only for futures traders?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, but futures markets are where order flow data is most widely available and most commonly used, since centralized exchange trading produces consistent transaction data. Equities traders also use order flow extensively. Forex order flow is more limited because the market is over-the-counter, which means complete depth data is less accessible than it is in exchange-traded markets.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Can order flow strategies work on a prop firm account?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, provided the firm's platform supports the required data feeds and the trader's execution is tight enough to overcome spread and slippage costs. Order flow strategies often produce frequent trades, which can help with minimum trading day requirements, but can also expose the account to higher cumulative transaction costs. Traders should confirm the specific tools and data feeds available before purchasing a challenge.<\/span>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/6440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary-category?post=6440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
