# Trade Pressure

# Description

Spot Trade Pressure measures the net buying vs. selling activity, calculated as: `Trade Pressure = Buy Volume − Sell Volume`

It can be further segmented by trade size to analyze behavior across retail and institutional flows.

***

# Details

Trade pressure offers directional insight from executed trades — not just order book intent. When broken down by trade size, it allows for segmentation: small trades (retail), medium (active traders), and large (institutional). Trade pressure is useful for real-time flow analysis and narrative confirmation.
