Most traders believe price moves because there are more buyers than sellers. That's not how professional markets work. Banks and institutions don't simply press the BUY or SELL button like retail traders. Their orders are often so large that executing them all at once would move the market against themselves. Instead, they rely on sophisticated execution algorithms, market data, macroeconomic research, quantitative models, and liquidity analysis to enter and exit positions efficiently. In this series, you'll learn: • Why institutions can't trade like retail. • Why liquidity is everything. • How large orders move the market. • How execution algorithms like TWAP and VWAP work. • Why institutions split orders into thousands of smaller executions. • Why every large order leaves a footprint. • And most importantly, how Order Flow tools like the DOM, Footprint Charts, Volume Profile, VWAP, and Time & Sales help you observe institutional activity in real time. The goal isn't to predict the market. The goal is to understand who is moving it.
