# Order Flow Concepts™

The **CandelaCharts - Order Flow Concepts** toolkit is a comprehensive suite designed to visualize institutional activity, volume anomalies, and resting liquidity directly on your TradingView chart.

Rather than relying purely on price action, this toolkit looks under the hood of the market. It tracks how volume is distributed (Volume Profiles), where large resting orders are likely clustered (Liquidity Pools), where buyers or sellers are aggressively stepping in but failing to move price (Absorption), and where retail traders are getting caught on the wrong side of the market (Trapped Traders).

By aggregating these data points, the toolkit provides an on-chart Dashboard that calculates the "Gravity" or "Time-Weight" of resting liquidity, giving you a clear, data-driven bias for where the market is most likely to move next.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/toolkits/orderflow-concepts-tm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
