============================================================
What's up everybody? Jim Batchelder here with Trade Pulse. Really excited to share our platform with you today. Really excited to be back once again this week and really share how traders can take advantage of real-time order flow analytics when trading. So for anybody new to our platform, you know, we are an order flow analytic company. Essentially, what that means is we provide real-time order flow data, real-time market flow data, and to go with that we also have our own AI driven indicator to help give even a further insight on how a stock may perform intraday. So you know, really our goal, our mission, we want to provide the most up-to-the-minute real-time information so traders can make the most informed decisions possible and really get in at the most opportune times. That's really what we're we're about here. So got a really cool example one of the pull up and share with everybody and how and how you can really take advantage of our data and of our platform. So as you see, we have Micron Technologies chart pulled up from this week and I'll go through the different data points to really help tie everything together what we're looking at here. So this is a full trading days worth of data that we're looking at and this is from earlier this week on Tuesday, July 21st and the first thing I want to point out is the white line. That is the stock price. So we track this minute by minute in real time so you know how the market's moving for in this case Micron. You'll see there's a light blue line that's really running alongside the price. This light blue line is what we call our large deal flow data. This is capturing all the big money coming in on the day for Micron. So this is typically your institutional buying and selling so hedge funds, mutual funds and the like. Really any orders $100,000 or more is really what we're quantifying with that light blue line there, the large deal flow data. And then you'll see some of these colored shades. You see the green shade there facing up. And as we move across, you see there's some red shade facing downward. This is what we call our momentum flow data. So, this is capturing intraday sentiment on the retail side. So, that green shade that you see there indicating that there's more buying pressure taking place over that time period. And then the red shade that you see is indicating that there's more selling pressure taking place over that time period. So, you know, with these different data points we're giving you all the different market pressures on the retail side and the institutional side, so you know where all the money is coming from and going to throughout the day. And then lastly, you see we have a vertical green bar here. This is what we call our power inflow signal. This is there the AI-driven signal I just mentioned a moment ago. This only gets activated for select stocks on our platform. Ones that we've sensed a real significant positive shift in the order flow. So, this power inflow is essentially a bullish trend indicator that we provide based on the order flow shift that we've seen. So, we only provide around 10 to 15 of these indicators per day. So, we track over 2,000 stocks, only about 10 to 15 of these are provided provided per day. So, they're really specific to the order flow and meant to be a really significant signal for you to be able to track. So, looking at this example a little bit deeper for Micron. You can see the price was pretty choppy coming out of the the market market open at 9:30. You can see that price took a little bit of a drop started at about 9:45 got all the way down to about 9:17 uh just within the matter of an hour. And you can see over that same period you know, how did the order flow coincide with that price movement? And you can see the retail side, that red shade got pretty deep in the red there, really illustrating that the retail side was selling mostly over that period. And then the light blue line, similar trend there. You could see that that light blue line really took a dip in the first hour. So, really what we saw there is selling on the institutional side, selling on the retail side, and as a result, you could see really how the price was reacting alongside with that. And then our power inflow signal came in. You could see it came in just after 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. And again, what we're trying to do here is capture real shift in the order flow. You can really see that here. That light blue line, the large deal flow data, you can really see a strong trend upwards immediately following that signal. You could see it really lasted throughout the day. And on the retail side, similar deal there. You could see how we said it was in the red. The signal hit, and you could see a real shift. You could see it really jumped positive in the green in the hours following the power inflow signal. So, on the retail side, saw a big shift. And on the institutional side, we saw a big shift. And sure enough, you know, how did the price really react alongside that? You could see it was down about 9:20 when that signal hit, and you could see it took a pretty big spike. Got all the way up to about 9:81 as intraday high following the signal. And you can really see how the price really flowed alongside the institutional flow. You could see the lines basically almost moved in tangent throughout the whole day. Really illustrating how important the big money is and how how big of an impact it can have on the stock price throughout the day. So, you know, with our signal, if you were to maybe get in shortly following the signal, anybody could have real- realized maybe up to about a 5% gain just a matter of a couple hours. And And that's really the edge, you know, we're trying to provide by providing the order flow in real time. And then in combination with our signal, it being able to get you in at the most opportune time. That's really the advantage you know, we're aiming to provide with this order flow data. So, as you see here, we have some different features on the left-hand side of our screen. Power inflows, if you ever wanted to see a list of the different stocks that generated that signal throughout the day, you could always click on power inflows and it's going to show you which stocks have generated that signal on the day and then you're able to hover over and click and see, you know, what those charts have looked like relative to that signal. And then just moving down here, top flows is another section we offer. This is giving you a more sustained view of the market in terms of which stocks are showing the strongest order flow. So, as you see, we have our same order flow metrics here, momentum, daily, and large deal. And you'll notice we have a score column. The score column is aggregating all those order flow data together and we're giving our own proprietary score to show you which stocks on the day are performing the strongest relative to the order flow relative to their typical trading volume. So, this this list will get updated throughout the day as orders come in, so you'll see new names added, you'll see names drop. Uh but really here, what we're trying to do is give you an overview of the top 30 stocks on the day that we track of which ones are performing the strongest in terms of order flow there. And you see, as we move further down the side here, market board, another section. This section allows you to sort. So, if there's certain order flow metrics that mean more to you, as you see, we have momentum, daily, and large deal. Clicking on any one of these order flow metrics is going to sort and show you which stocks are performing the strongest in terms of that order flow metric. So, by clicking on large deal here, as you can see, Micron is actually the leader in terms of large deal flow data on the day. So, you can sort by whichever order flow metric, you know, that is really relevant to you and see which ones are leading the pack. And lastly, sector flows. Here, we're giving you an overview of the performance of each sector. So, as you see, we have our percentage change column. This is ranking all the different sectors in terms of which ones are performing the strongest on the day. And if you really wanted to drill down and see, you know, which stocks are contributing most to that performance, which ones have the strongest order flow. As you see, energy is the leader right now. If we were to click on energy, it's going to drill down and similar to the top flow section, it's going to rank the top 30 stocks within the energy sector with that score column that we just talked about there. So, you're able to see within the sector, you know, which ones are performing the strongest in terms of order flow and having the biggest impact there.
