Getting Started with FlowSense
Learn how to read order flow and use FlowSense, step by step.
🚀 Getting Started with FlowSense
FlowSense is built around three layers that work together:
- Snapshot scoring (Scanner, Movers) — fast, broad. Triages 500+ tickers to find candidates worth a closer look.
- Deep analysis (Dashboard, A/M/D, Divergence) — slower, single-ticker, but uses the full Hybrid Analytical engine with mode-awareness.
- Predictive composite models (NDMDP, NDCDP, O-C oscillators, Market Fragility) — multi-factor models that produce next-day or regime predictions with concrete play-book guidance.
Typical workflow: Open the Scanner → sort by score or filter for a phase → click a ticker to land on the Dashboard → flip through modes (Day/Swing/Long Term) to confirm the signal across timeframes → check Composite A/M/D for divergence and confluence → check Market Fragility for the macro environment → size the position per the regime play-book.
⚠ Tutorial: Using Market Fragility
The Market Fragility composite is the simplest way to size positions defensively. Open it from the sidebar (red ⚠ icon).
Step 1 — Read the gauge. The big number is the composite score (0-100). The color band tells you the regime: green CALM, blue NORMAL, yellow ELEVATED, orange STRESSED, red CRISIS.
Step 2 — Read the play-book. Each regime has a concrete sizing/playstyle/hedge prescription. Don't override these unless you have a good reason — they're calibrated from empirical regime behavior.
Step 3 — Scan the triggers. The trigger list shows 6 boolean conditions. 🔴 high-severity, 🟠 medium, ⚫ inactive. If a new trigger flips active during the session, that's a heads-up that the regime is deteriorating.
Step 4 — Check coverage. If the gauge says "Coverage 60%" that means only 4 of 7 components fired this run. Lower coverage = less reliable composite. Investigate which components are unavailable.
Step 5 — Watch the 180-day trend. A score going from 30 → 60 isn't a crash prediction, but the direction matters. Rising over weeks = environment getting more fragile. Hover any point for daily detail.
📊 Tutorial: Reading the Composite A/M/D
Composite A/M/D combines Hybrid Analytical scoring with Wyckoff phase classification, divergence detection, and money flow analysis into a single integrated view.
The score (0-100). Above 65 = accumulation conviction. Below 35 = distribution conviction. Between = manipulation/transition.
The phase badge. Tells you which Wyckoff phase the ticker is in: ACC-A (accumulation phase A), MARKUP, DIST (distribution), MARKDOWN. The phase context matters more than the score — a score of 60 in ACC-B is much more actionable than the same score in DIST.
The mode buttons. Day/Swing/Long Term aren't just timeframes — they use different windows for the entire analysis. A Long Term distribution call can coexist with a Day-mode accumulation reading; both are valid at their respective horizons.
