# Order Flow (/platform/charts/order-flow/introduction)



Order flow on LuxAlgo is built from **pre-aggregated footprints**: one-minute slices of volume-at-price and per-side trade counts, re-bucketed to any chart timeframe, plus ordinary candles. There is no live order book or trade tape.

The tools come in two forms:

* **Chart types**: switch the chart style to **Footprint** or **TPO** and the profile *is* the chart, with the deepest feature set (multiple footprints per bar, TPO session merging).
* **Indicators**: everything in **Indicators → Orderflow** draws over the candles or in its own pane, including overlay versions of Footprint and TPO.

## Which tools run where [#which-tools-run-where]

Most tools need a footprint-capable symbol (crypto and US equities; see [Data](/platform/charts/data)). If a tool can't run on the current market it warns, or doesn't appear in the picker, instead of drawing a blank series.

Three tools are computed from candles and work on **every market**: **TPO**, **VWAP**, and the **Visible Range Volume Profile** (which trades the buy/sell split for universal availability). Tools built on *trade counts* additionally need count-carrying data. Bars without it show honest gaps rather than fake zeros. Pane-based tools (the delta and count families) need a fixed bar duration, so they're unavailable on monthly timeframes.
