AK FlowBook part 9: order-flow event labels, REJ, SWP, ABS and more
REJ. SWP. ABS. The tape in a few words. 🏷️
Event labels are short codes AK FlowBook prints when order flow does something specific:
Sell-side labels sit above the high, buy-side labels below the low. By default they print only near important levels.
- REJ rejection · SWP sweep · ABS absorption · AF aggression failure
- DL delta ladder · IMB imbalance · CVD divergence · EXH exhaustion · TRAP
Real example, Oct 6, 10:23 NY: REJ and ABS printed right above the daily and weekly VWAP (4174.2 and 4174.7, XAUUSD ≈4146). Price dipped to 4170.6 and closed back above both at 10:33.
A label is an observation, not an instruction. Location first, then agreement between layers.
