AK FlowBook part 1: one chart, who traded, where and how big

Meet AK FlowBook 👋 our order-flow indicator for gold futures.

One chart, six things at a glance:
1️⃣ Delta: who was aggressive on each candle
2️⃣ Big trades: one large order, even when it swept several prices
3️⃣ Icebergs: orders hiding their real size
4️⃣ Volume levels: yesterday's busiest price, value area, VWAPs
5️⃣ Session levels: Asia, London, New York highs and lows
6️⃣ The order book, order by order (with a Rithmic connection)

Real example from the Oct 2 jobs report: one 278-lot buy order (XAUUSD ≈4200), then a hidden buyer absorbing 176 lots while showing only 2.

This is part 1 of a series: one component per post, explained simply.
