AK FlowBook part 5: candle volume filters, where inside the candle the volume traded

A candle hides where its volume traded. 🕯️

Candle volume filters open it up: a small box beside the candle at each price where aggressive volume was significant.

• Sells on the left, buys on the right
• Five color tiers: gold 70+, blue 100+, dark orange 200+, red 300+, magenta 400+ lots (GC defaults)
• Tier 4 and 5 get a thicker border

Real example, Oct 2 jobs report: inside the 8:30 candle buyers traded 99 lots at 4241.7 (XAUUSD ≈4212) and 91 lots at 4227.7 (≈4198).
Oct 6: 72 and 96 lots bought at 4200.0 to 4200.2, just above the prior day's high (XAUUSD ≈4171).

A box shows where volume traded, not what comes next. Read it with delta and the level.
