Live order flow · TEVO DOM

The order book, level by level.

The DOM (Depth of Market) shows the resting limit orders at every price: buyers on the bid, sellers on the ask. You see where the liquidity sits before price gets there.

  • Displayed liquidity

    The depth bars measure the resting orders at each level. A big wall can slow price down, or vanish at the last moment.

  • Price ladder

    One row per tick: the last price, the spread and the size Δ to see orders being added or pulled.

  • Time & Sales

    Every executed trade with its time, price and quantity: cyan at the ask (aggressive buy), red at the bid (aggressive sell).

Animated simulation for educational purposes, fictitious data. In NinjaTrader, TEVO DOM reads your Level 2 feed in real time.

Live order flow · TEVO Footprint

The footprint: the volume inside every candle.

A regular candle sums up four prices. The footprint opens it and shows, at every level, the volume sold on the bid and bought on the ask. You see who really pushed price.

  • Bid × Ask

    Aggressive selling on the bid on the left, aggressive buying on the ask on the right, level by level.

  • Imbalances

    When one side overwhelms the other (300% on the diagonal), the cell lights up: cyan for buyers, red for sellers.

  • POC per candle

    The most traded price of each candle is boxed in yellow, and the candle's delta shows at the bottom.

Animated simulation for educational purposes, fictitious data. In NinjaTrader, TEVO Footprint is built trade by trade with Tick Replay.

Live order flow · TEVO Big Trades

Spot large orders the moment they hit.

Big players leave traces: trades far larger than average. TEVO Big Trades draws them as bubbles at their price and time, with an area matching the executed volume.

  • Executed volume

    Only trades above your minimum size show up: 50 contracts by default, adjustable on the chart.

  • Proportional bubbles

    The area follows the volume: a 400-contract order jumps out next to a 50-lot.

  • Bid / ask side

    Cyan = aggressive buy at the ask, red = aggressive sell at the bid. Hover a bubble to see the time, size and price.

Animated simulation for educational purposes, fictitious data. In NinjaTrader, TEVO Big Trades reads every trade in real time.

Economy & fundamentals

The context that moves currencies.

Four data points to track every month. The chart updates when you switch indicator.

Macro · United States · last 24 months
3.2%Annual change in consumer prices

Illustrative values for educational purposes. Live data in the calendar below.

Rates

Central banks

Fed, ECB, BoE, BoJ. A rate hike draws capital into the currency. The tone of the statement matters as much as the number.

Inflation

CPI & PCE

Rising inflation pushes the central bank to tighten. The market reacts to the gap between the published figure and expectations.

Employment

NFP & unemployment

First Friday of the month. The most volatile report on the calendar: trade it after the reaction, never during it.

Growth

GDP & PMI

A PMI above 50 = expansion. GDP confirms the trend and steers rate expectations.

EUR/USDWeekly analysis

Bullish structure on H4, order block retest

Context: cautious ECB, dollar waiting on CPI. Plan: buy on a retest of the 1.0800 – 1.0820 zone, invalidation below the last HL.

XAU/USDWeekly analysis

Gold between real rates and safe-haven demand

Context: US yields pulling back. Technically, wave 3 in progress above the EMA 20. Target: 1.618 extension, stop below wave 2.

NAS100Weekly analysis

Indices: liquidity taken, CHoCH on M15

Context: tech earnings week. Equal highs swept, then a change of character. Looking to sell at the unfilled FVG.

Questions

What you want to know before you start.

I'm a complete beginner, is this for me?

Yes. Module 1 starts from scratch: what a pip, a lot, leverage and sessions are. You then move on to market structure and advanced concepts at your own pace.

What's the difference between price action, technical and fundamental analysis?

Price action reads raw price (structure, candles, zones). Technical analysis adds calculated tools (EMA, SMA, RSI, waves). Fundamentals explain the why (rates, inflation, employment). The method combines all three.

Which platforms does the indicator work on?

The Trading Evolution indicator runs on MetaTrader 5 and TradingView, with an installation guide and recommended settings per market. The free ICT indicators are NinjaScript files for NinjaTrader 8.

Which markets are covered?

Forex (majors and minors), gold and silver, US and European indices, oil and the main cryptos. The method applies wherever there is liquidity.

Why does NinjaTrader appear on the site?

Trading Evolution is an Official Member of the NinjaTrader Ecosystem. It's the platform we use for the Order Flow module, because it gives access to the order book, the footprint and real volume on futures. Links to NinjaTrader are partner links: we may receive a commission if you open an account, at no extra cost to you. Details are in the disclaimers at the bottom of the page.

Are the NinjaTrader indicators really free?

Yes. They are free NinjaScript (.cs) files, with no subscription, and you can read them before compiling. Every available indicator has its own documentation page: how it works, settings and installation. NinjaTrader 8 remains third-party software with its own terms.

Is this investment advice?

No. Trading Evolution is educational content. Margin trading carries a high risk of capital loss. Never trade with money you need.
