How to read a Nifty order flow chart.
A candle tells you where price went. Order flow tells you who pushed it there.
What order flow is
Every trade on the Nifty futures tape is either a buyer lifting the ask or a seller hitting the bid. Order flow counts those two sides at every price. A normal candle merges them into four numbers; an order flow chart keeps them apart, so you can see whether a rally was driven by aggressive buying or by sellers simply stepping away.
Reading the footprint
Each row of a footprint candle shows sell volume × buy volume at one price. A strong buy imbalance — ask volume three or more times the bid volume diagonally — marks real demand. Several imbalances stacked on top of each other often become support on a retest.
Delta and CVD
Delta is buy volume minus sell volume for a bar. Cumulative volume delta (CVD) adds it up through the session. When Nifty makes a new high but CVD does not, buyers are getting weaker — a divergence worth watching near a call wall or the day's value area high.
Absorption and the book
Absorption is heavy selling into a level that does not break: large bid volume on the footprint while the DOM ladder keeps refilling. The liquidity heatmap shows those resting orders over time, so you can tell a real wall from one that is pulled before price arrives.
A simple routine for the Nifty open
01Mark the levels
Previous value area, POC, gamma flip and the biggest call and put walls.
02Watch the first hour
Is delta confirming the move, or is price rising on falling CVD?
03Look for absorption
At a wall, does the footprint show stacked imbalances or trapped buyers?
04Check options flow
Confirm with OI change and the option volume tape before acting.

Questions, answered.
What is a Nifty order flow chart?
An order flow chart shows who traded at every price inside each candle: how much volume hit the bid (sellers) and how much lifted the ask (buyers). OptionAlgo builds it tick by tick from the Nifty futures tape, so you see delta, cumulative delta (CVD), imbalances and absorption instead of only open-high-low-close.
Which instruments does OptionAlgo Order Flow cover?
Nifty, Bank Nifty, FinNifty and Sensex, all Nifty 50 stocks, individual option strikes, and 13 MCX commodity futures including crude oil, natural gas, gold, silver and copper.
Is the order flow data live?
Yes. The footprint, delta, DOM ladder and charts update from a live tick feed during market hours. Outside market hours the last session stays on screen for review and replay.
How much does OptionAlgo Order Flow cost?
Order Flow is ₹1,999 per month and includes every panel on this page, MCX commodities and Flow AI, plus everything in Analytics Pro (₹999 on its own): the options analytics dashboard, Strategy Lab, backtesting, the breakout scanner, Screen Lab and the trading journal. The main OptionAlgo dashboard has a free tier you can try first.
Can I use order flow on my phone?
Yes. The app runs in any modern browser and has a phone layout with a bottom navigation rail, so footprint, DOM and the Flow AI work on mobile.
Does OptionAlgo give buy or sell tips?
No. OptionAlgo is an analytics tool, not an investment adviser. It shows market data and derived metrics; trading decisions are your own.
