The terms MidasFlow agents actually use โ defined in plain English. Updated June 11, 2026
The price level with the highest traded volume in a Volume Profile. Price tends to gravitate back to the POC, which makes it a natural magnet level for entries, targets and invalidation.
The price range containing roughly 70% of traded volume around the POC. Trading inside the value area means consolidation; acceptance outside it often starts a directional move.
The last opposing candle (or zone) before a strong institutional move. Smart Money Concepts treats order blocks as footprints of large orders โ price frequently returns to them before continuing.
A quick push through an obvious level (equal highs/lows, round numbers) that triggers resting stop-losses, fills large orders with that liquidity, and reverses. A classic smart-money entry pattern.
The sequence of swing highs and lows. A Break of Structure (BOS) continues the trend; a Change of Character (ChoCH) is the first crack signalling a possible reversal.
A price gap left by a fast impulsive candle where almost no trading happened. Price often "rebalances" by revisiting the gap before resuming the move.
A running total that adds volume on up-closes and subtracts it on down-closes. Rising OBV while price stays flat is a typical accumulation tell โ one of the inputs of our accumulation detector.
The running difference between market buy and market sell volume. CVD shows who is hitting the tape: rising CVD with flat price means aggressive buyers are being absorbed.
The number of outstanding derivative contracts. Rising OI with rising price = new money fuelling the move; falling OI on a rally = short covering, a weaker signal.
The periodic payment between longs and shorts on perpetual futures. Extreme funding shows a crowded side of the boat โ a contrarian risk input.
A map of price levels where leveraged positions get force-closed. Clusters of liquidations act as liquidity pools that price is often drawn toward.
An unusually large limit order visible in the order book. Walls can defend a level โ or be spoofed and pulled; our agents track whether walls actually absorb volume.
The moment buying pressure breaks the symbol out of accumulation with rising volume. In MidasFlow phase labels, IGNITION with rising price is the primary entry window.
The vertical, late stage of a pump driven by retail chasing. Entries here carry the worst risk-reward; the detector flags it to discourage chasing.
Volume and momentum fade while price stalls โ the distribution stage where early buyers exit. A common shorting or exit zone, not an entry.
How coordinated buying spreads between venues. MidasFlow times this spread across 9+ exchanges; moves often appear on smaller venues up to 30 seconds before Binance.
An early warning that never develops into a real move. Roughly 30โ40% of early detections fade โ a number we publish and factor into the decision framework.
Our size classification of a symbol (LARGE / MID / SMALL / MICRO) based on real order book depth. Tier drives position-size limits and stop width in the risk rules.
The difference between the expected and the actual fill price. On thin small-cap books slippage can eat the entire edge of a correct signal โ the main reason micro-tier rules are strict.
The adaptive pause before the same symbol can alert again. It grows with each repeat signal within one move and resets when price moves >0.5% in a new direction.
An umbrella framework for reading institutional footprints: order blocks, liquidity sweeps, fair value gaps and market structure. MidasFlow dedicates a full agent to it โ see the SMC Trader hub at /agents/smc-trader.
The distribution of traded volume across price levels, revealing where the market actually did business. The MidasFlow Volume Profile agent (/agents/volume-profile) turns it into the POC and value-area levels used in every report.
The running average price weighted by volume โ the institutional benchmark for "fair" intraday price. Price far above VWAP is stretched; reclaiming VWAP after a flush is a classic strength tell.
A chain reaction where forced closures push price into the next cluster of liquidations, accelerating the move. The Liquidation Tracker agent (/agents/liquidation-tracker) maps where cascades can ignite.
A deliberate push through a level dense with stop-losses to harvest that liquidity before the real move โ the aggressive cousin of the liquidity sweep. Recognizing one in progress separates entries from exit liquidity.
A break of a key level that fails and snaps back, trapping breakout traders. MidasFlow's Breakout Hunter agent filters candidates by volume confirmation specifically to avoid these.
Heavy market selling (or buying) hitting a level that refuses to move โ passive size is eating the flow. One of the strongest order-flow tells the Whale Detector (/agents/whale-detector) watches for.
Placing large orders with no intention to fill them, purely to intimidate. Spoofed walls vanish when price approaches; MidasFlow discounts walls that never absorb actual volume.
Price makes a new high while cumulative volume delta (CVD) does not โ aggression is fading even as price ticks up. A classic exhaustion warning used in pump-phase analysis (/knowledge-base/pump-phases).
The proportion of accounts or volume positioned long versus short on derivatives. Extreme one-sided readings often precede squeezes in the opposite direction โ crowding is risk.
A composite gauge of market-wide emotion from volatility, momentum, volume and social data. MidasFlow's Fear & Greed agent adds historical context: the same reading means different things in different regimes.
When independent signals align across timeframes โ e.g. a 15m order block inside a 4h demand zone. The MTF Analyzer agent scores this alignment across 5 timeframes; confluence raises consensus confidence.
Potential profit divided by potential loss as defined by your target and stop. A 60% win rate loses money at R:R 1:2 against you; sizing and targets matter more than being right.
Pre-committed exit prices for profit and loss. Every MidasFlow Pro/VIP analysis includes calculated TP/SL levels derived from the level map โ risk defined before entry, not improvised after.
Deciding how much to risk per trade. MidasFlow's framework ties size to liquidity tier (smaller and tighter on SMALL/MICRO) โ see /knowledge-base/risk-management.
