Understanding the Power Inflow Signal
The Power Inflow alert is a proprietary TradePulse signal designed to identify notable changes in order flow during the first two hours of the trading day. The alert is generated when TradePulse’s analysis identifies a significant shift in observed order flow toward buying activity.
Order flow analytics examine trading activity using factors such as volume, timing, and order size. TradePulse incorporates observed retail and institutional order flow data to provide additional market context alongside traditional price and volume analysis.
The Power Inflow signal is an analytical tool and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to purchase or sell a security. A signal may be followed by an increase, decrease, or no material change in a security’s price.
