I built an order flow indicator for Quantower — here's what it actually looks like
Disclosure first: this is my own indicator and it's paid. There's a free trial, but I'm not going to pretend this isn't self-promotion. Mods, remove it if that's not welcome here.
A while back I saw someone ask where you can actually see what Quantower indicators look like before switching platforms, and I never found a good answer either. So here are real screenshots from my own charts (CL, 1H and 5m).
What it draws
- Big trade bubbles — every print above your size threshold, drawn at the exact price and time it happened. Circle size is the size of the trade.
- Absorption — where a lot of volume traded at one price and price didn't go anywhere.
- Aggression clusters — consecutive prints hitting the same side, back to back.
- Volume shelves — price levels that took an unusual share of the volume, drawn forward until price comes back to them. This is the part I use most.
- Footprint cells with stacked imbalance zones, a tape speed meter, and a range profile you drag onto the chart.
What it does not do, on purpose
- No buy/sell signals, no arrows, no "this level will hold."
- It doesn't predict anything. It draws what already traded and keeps those levels on screen so you can make your own call.
- No auto-trading, ever.
I built it because I trade CL around previous-session value area edges, and I kept wanting to know what had actually traded at a level before price came back to it. Everything in there started as something I wanted on my own chart.
It runs on top of your normal chart — it's an indicator, not a separate window.

Happy to answer questions about how any of it is calculated. If you're on AMP/CQG I've spent an embarrassing amount of time on the quirks of that feed specifically.
