Trade - 12/10/26

Trade Breakdown - ⬇

1- Simple RTH VWAP Retest on both ES & NQ
2- Large passive sellers being filled followed by trapped buying as shown on the heatmap
3- Large effort from buyers but no reward followed by a delta flip shown on the footprint
4- Profit target was 3:1RR as I was trying to half pass a prop firm EVAL
5- Once I saw the 1,300 lot buy Icebergs fill on ES I aggressively trailed my stop as there was a good chance price could now reverse which resulted in my stop being hit.

Reversal trade setup using Orderflow ⬇

To play a reversal trade first I need to see us come to a key area, in this trade its a sweep of the overnight low.
Price sweeps the low and aggressively reclaims the overnight low + RTH VWAP indicating a failed auction lower.
My ATAS Stacked Imbalance indicator flags an area, (these areas are highly likely to be retested and act as strong reaction points).
We retest the Stacked Imbalance + RTH VWAP + Overnight Value Area Low (3 Confluences lined up = high probability of the trade going in my favour).
Once we reach my area of interest I then watch the Orderflow.
I’m seeing strong absorption + the Heatmap is showing me CVD Divergence along with weaker selling.
All of these confluences gives me a valid trade reversal setup.
Profit target for this trade was the Overnight Value Area High.

Trade - 13/10/26

Trade Breakdown - ⬇

1- Failed Auction trade after we swept the GLOBEX Low & failed push lower.
2- Large bids being filled under the GOBEX Low
3- After the aggressive buyers stepped in every time sellers tried to push it lower it was being instantly bought back.
4- RTH VWAP reclaim & retest
5- Profit target was a 4:1RR which was a previous high during the GLOBEX Session.

My pre market plan for this session, I was expecting higher prices on ES as there was a large positive gamma wall above which price usually gets pulled to these areas. My trade idea for the session was to play longs on MNQ if we sweep and close back above the GLOBEX Low targeting the previous high during the overnight session.

Continuation trade idea using Volume Profile + Orderflow ⬇

During trending moves i’m always looking for key areas to join the trend.
Price is agressively selling off & respecting LVN’s & holding below the GLOBEX Low.
We retrace back up to the GLOBEX Value Area Low of the current day.
Once we reach my area of interest I then watch the Orderflow.
Delta is confirming my area + the Heatmap is showing me CVD Divergence along with weaker buying.
All of these confluences gives me a valid trade to jump in on the trend.
Profit target can be 50% of the previous move down.

GEX levels are one of the most underused tools in futures trading.
Gamma Exposure shows you where options market makers are forced to hedge and because they hedge using the underlying futures those levels become real magnetic price zones every single session.
I use GEXRADAR every trading session. I pull the key GEX levels, overlay them on my chart alongside VWAP and volume profile and when they line up? That confluence is some of the highest probability context I have.
It's not a signal. It's a framework. And it makes every orderflow setup I trade sharper.
If you want to start implementing optionsflow into your trading GEXRADAR is link is in my bio. If you're serious about understanding what's driving price this is worth every penny. 👇
