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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from Order Book Pressure?

Order Book Pressure is based on resting orders; Trade Pressure is based on executed trades. Both reflect sentiment but at different stages of market intent.

Can this distinguish between trader types?

Yes — by analyzing trade size bands, you can infer participation from bots, retail, or institutions.
