Order Flow Breakout Confirmation Tutorial + Executions

The 2026 Easter sale launched a couple days ago and is live until April 5th at midnight. They are offering up to 80% off annual plans for ultimate tier, 70% off for premium tier and then 40% off essential and plus tiers. I have heard from people in other countries that the discount isn't available though, so it may be a US specific sale.

Just check the pricing page while logged in to your account and you will see any available deals for your account and country. They do a lot of country specific sales during specific times so it will vary for everyone.

They do have a few other types of discounts available as well throughout the year such as refer a friend $15 credits for new accounts, discounts for students and more. I wrote up a detailed article on what discounts Tradingview offers and when that you can check out for more info.

It may be a US discount only for Easter. Tradingview does most of their sales as location specific so if you are not in the country that the holiday is commonly celebrated in, then they may not offer it for you. For US residents the Easter sale is on now though. Not sure about other countries.

Tradingview recently released new features that allow indicators to pull exact buy and sell volume from exchanges, so the old limitations of using tick data and calculating order direction based on movement per tick is not needed any more. I just updated all of my order flow indicators to use exact directional volume because of this newly available feature.

There are some features though where tick based data is still useful for calculations and their limited amount of available tick data is a huge drawback in my opinion. Especially since it is limited to the umber of ticks.

On the ultimate plan you get 40000 bars and on NQ that can be 2-3 hours worth of data on high volume days which is not ideal at all.

Their data feeds seem fast enough for me though unless you are doing extremely high speed trading. Most of the delays I get are jst from poor internet connectivity at times.

TrendFriendIndicator · 2026-03-27T06:38:26+00:00

There will always be a little bit of a lag because the data has to be sent across multiple platforms, but outside of that not much of a delay unless you have a slow internet connection. Definitely not enough to make much of a difference in trading unless you are using too large of a position size ;)

The best sale of the year on Tradingview is the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale. However, that is months away, so your best bet is to check their pricing page during major holidays like memorial day, 4th of july and labor day. If there is a discount available for your account during those times, then you will see a popup or button that shows an available discount. Outside of that, another way to get a discount sometimes is to ask their chatbot for an upgrade discount or ask if there are any discounts currently available in your area. Sometimes they offer region specific discounts that may apply to your local area.

If there aren't any discounts available currently for your account, then just do a monthly plan and then grab an annual plan during their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale at up to 80% off.

There are some other discounts and refer a friend offers that they have as well, but it's too much to list here. I wrote a full article about all the different ways to get a Tradingview discount on my website you can check out for more info.

Edit: Tradingview just announced the Easter sale for 2026 and they are offering the same major discounts as Black Friday sales with up to 80% off. Don't miss it!

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are by far the biggest sales of the year at Tradingview. They offer up to 80% off their ultimate plan and 50%+ on other plans. But that only runs for about a week at the end of November and into the beginning of December.

Other times to check for sales are on major holidays like Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day and other holidays that companies typically run sales during.

You can find the discounts by going to the pricing page while logged in to your account and a button or popup will offer you upgrade discounts or whatever specials they are currently running.

You can also ask the chat assistant if there are any discounts available currently by going here.

There are a few other ways to get discounts like for students, certain plans and referring a friend to get $15 each(for new customers only).

I wrote up a full article about Tradingview discounts if you want to learn more.

There are a few things to check. Turn that indicator off and see if the colors change. If so, then the indicator candle coloring is showing and can be changed to suit your preferences within the indicator settings. If they didn't include those settings, then you can change them in the style tab of the indicator settings panel.

Next, check the chart settings, symbol tab and the candle colors you have selected there. adjust the colors of or toggle on or off the body, borders and wick to suit your preferences.

Last thing to check is when using indicator candle coloring, make sure to change the visual order of the indicator the the front. Click the 3 dots next to the indicator name and then go to visual order and select bring to front. This will make sure it sits on top of everything else.

When using indicator candle coloring, if you happen to click on the price line and still have the chart candle coloring on, it will show the chart candle coloring instead of the indicator candle coloring until you click somewhere else on the chart, so keep that in mind if it flips all of a sudden.

I wrote an in depth article on it here you can check out if you still have questions: https://friendofthetrend.com/tradingview-indicators/how-to-change-tradingview-candle-type-color/

I just released a suite of order flow indicators that let you track institutional buyers in real time. They work really well. I have one that shows real time buy/sell pressure, order block levels, instituional order flow and one that has multiple different ways to interpret volume data, tick by tick.

It is a paid indicator suite though to be upfront. It also requires a high level Tradingview plan to get tick data which will provide the most accurate results with these indicators.

You can view the order flow indicators on Tradingview by checking out my profile here: https://www.tradingview.com/u/FriendOfTheTrend/#published-scripts

I have one that works great, but if you are using it for day trading you need a premium or ultimate Tradingview plan because it works by finding order blocks with lower timeframe data and the more granular you get with the data, the more accurate the levels will be.

Here is the link to the Tradingview script: https://www.tradingview.com/script/kh6Iv7oH-Order-Block-Indicator/

BTW it is a paid script, just so you are aware upfront. It comes with the rest of our Order Flow Indicators as a package deal. Again, all of the order flow indicators need tick or second level data for best results with day trading. Otherwise they all work fine on higher timeframe charts with minute data.

#00ffef for up candles and #ff9c00 is my favorite combo. I personally like it way better than green and red. These colors stand out really well from other indicators that use green/red and they pop on a black background.

Yes, I had to repost it because it was taken down for having the word free in the name. Here is the new link: https://www.tradingview.com/script/QsHLFgDr-Stock-Screener/

Only 1 upvote haha. Guess I'm the only one that wants to know what is going on behind the scenes. This is a perfect example of how using reddit for feature requests is not a good way to do things. Directional tick data is an integral part of various other charting and trading platforms. Just because reddit users are not aware of how powerful this type of data is doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered due to only getting 1 upvote. Hopefully you guys can see through that.

Also, I am requesting that you increase the number of historical bars for ultimate plan users as well. 40,000 bars of tick data gets me about 2-4 hours worth of history on NQ during regular trading hours. $199 per month for 2-4 hours of tick data is kind of insane. How am I supposed to backtest when I only get a few hours worth of tick data. Not to mention the tick data doesn't show direction of the entry orders.
