AK FlowBook part 3: big trades, raw vs smart, and the five roles
One order. Five prices. One box. 🎯
A big aggressive order often sweeps several prices: most charts show five small prints. AK FlowBook rebuilds them into the one order that caused them, with its real size.
Raw = a box with the size at the price. Smart = adds a dot and what price did next (by default you see both):
- FAIL: absorbed, price did not follow
- FLIP: price turned against it
- DRIVE: price followed through
- EDGE: hit right at a key level
- LARGE: unusually big for this market
Real example: 278 lots at the Oct 2 jobs report (XAUUSD ≈4200).
A big order is a clue, not a signal. Part 3 of the AK FlowBook series.
