With SpaceX in the news heavily around the time of this recording, Jim Batchelder picks it as the week’s featured example, walking through a full prior trading day of data on the Trade Pulse platform. He runs through the now-familiar visual framework for anyone newer to the series: the white line as live stock price, the light blue large deal flow line capturing institutional orders of $100,000 or more, green and red momentum shading reflecting retail buying versus selling pressure, and the vertical green Power Inflow bar marking one of the roughly 10 to 15 daily signals the platform generates across the more than 2,000 stocks it tracks.
The SpaceX chart opens choppy and unremarkable. Jim notes the stock traded around 136 to 137 for the first hour of the session, with momentum shading bouncing between light red and light green without much conviction, and the large deal line sitting essentially flat, showing no clear institutional lean in either direction. It’s a deliberately quiet setup, useful precisely because nothing in the first hour would have flagged SpaceX as a name worth watching on its own.
That changes just after 10:00 a.m. Eastern, when the Power Inflow signal activates around the 138 level. Jim walks through the shift methodically: momentum shading tilts more decisively green, but the large deal line is where the real change shows up, jumping noticeably and then sustaining that upward trend for the remainder of the session. SpaceX’s price follows the same path, climbing steadily from the high 130s to an intraday high around 149, a roughly 7% move depending on exact entry and exit timing. Jim frames the takeaway in the same terms he uses across the series: the large deal data, representing institutional-sized orders, tends to lead price rather than simply confirm it after the fact, which is the entire premise behind flagging these shifts as they happen rather than after the move has already played out.
From there, the episode moves into its usual tour of the broader platform. Jim shows the Power Inflows tab listing every stock that generated a signal that day, walks through Top Flows and its proprietary score blending momentum and large deal data to rank the strongest order flow names in real time, and demonstrates the Market Board’s sorting options, noting Micron as the current leader on the large deal metric at the time of recording. He wraps with Sector Flows, drilling into consumer staples as an example of how a sector-level view breaks down into the top 30 individual stocks actually driving that sector’s performance, each ranked by the same underlying score.
