# Dashboard

The Order Flow Concepts Dashboard is an on-chart panel that aggregates all the raw order flow and liquidity data into a single, easy-to-read summary.

It provides a real-time read on market context, helping you establish a directional bias before looking for entries.

### Configuration

* **Dashboard**: Master toggle to show or hide the panel.
* **Position**: Anchor the dashboard to any of the 9 standard chart positions (e.g., Bottom Center, Top Right).
* **Text Size**: Customize the scale of the dashboard text (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge, Auto).

### Dashboard Metrics

#### Phase

Displays the current **Market Phase** (e.g., Accumulation, Distribution, Markup, Markdown) based on the balance of liquidity and volume anomalies.

#### Trapped

Displays the status of **Trapped Traders**. If the toolkit recently detected a trap anomaly, this will read "Bulls Trapped" (bearish bias) or "Bears Trapped" (bullish bias), serving as a persistent reminder of who is currently offsides in the market.

#### Algorithm (Mode)

The most powerful feature of the dashboard is its ability to aggregate resting liquidity. You can choose the specific **Algorithm (Mode)** used to calculate the directional pull of the liquidity pools:

* **All Active Levels**: Sums the raw volume of all active liquidity pools on the chart.
* **Time-Weighted (Aged)**: Weights the volume of each pool based on its age (bars since birth). Older, more established pools carry higher weight.
* **Gravity (Inverse Square)**: Applies an inverse-square law to the liquidity. Pools that are physically closer to current price exert a massive gravitational pull, while distant pools are mostly ignored.
* **Proximity-Weighted**: Similar to Gravity, but uses a linear proximity multiplier. Closer pools equal higher weight.
* **Top 3 Largest Pools**: Ignores proximity and simply sums the absolute top 3 largest volume pools on the chart.
* **Top 3 Nearest**: Ignores raw size and sums the volume of the 3 pools closest to current price.
* **Largest Single Pool**: Isolates and tracks only the single largest volume pool on the chart.
* **Closest Single Pool**: Isolates and tracks only the single volume pool closest to current price.
* **Void Detection**: Calculates the distance to the nearest strong liquidity pool, indicating whether the market is currently in a "void" (free to move rapidly) or compressed near liquidity.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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/dashboard.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.
