▎ STUDIES // 10 PANES
OFL:DELTAMAPExecution StudySierra · NinjaTrader · MotiveWave · EdgeProX

Delta Map

Raw delta is noisy. The signals that matter — divergence, exhaustion, continuation — only show up when delta is read in context. Delta Map visualizes delta the way order flow traders actually need it: in real time, alongside structural levels, with a layout designed to surface the patterns that drive execution decisions on ES, NQ, CL, and beyond.

R1 · BLUE

Real-time delta

Plots order flow delta as the auction develops — read direction, magnitude, and shifts at a glance.

R2 · RED

Divergence reads

Surfaces the moments when price prints a new extreme but delta does not — the highest-quality fade setups.

R3 · BLUE

Layered with structure

Designed to live on the same chart as your structural references, Dominator arrows, and EAD triangles.

OFL:DOMINATORExecution StudySierra · NinjaTrader · MotiveWave · EdgeProX

Dominator

Order flow traders need to know the instant aggressive buyers or sellers take control — not five candles later. Dominator evaluates the pace, size, and intensity of every trade hitting the book and prints a directional arrow the moment one side is showing disproportionate strength. Use it as live confirmation at the structural levels you already plan around.

Dominator arrows on a futures chart
ES, NQ, CL, GC + more EXECUTION STUDY
R1 · BLUE

Pace · size · intensity

Three dimensions of aggression evaluated tick-by-tick — not a single-metric signal.

R2 · RED

Directional arrows

An up arrow at the price where buy-side dominance fired; a down arrow for sell-side. No interpretation required.

R3 · BLUE

Session-aware (2.0)

Dominator 2.0 calibrates the threshold to historical activity for that exact time of day — fewer false positives in slow tape.

OFL:EADExecution StudySierra · NinjaTrader · MotiveWave · EdgeProX

EAD

Strong rotations end one of two ways — the aggressors stop pressing, or the other side absorbs them. The Exhaustion & Absorption Detector watches for both and prints a triangle the moment a rotation starts losing its grip. Use it at structural extremes to catch fades, traps, and rotation flips with confluence — not guesswork.

ES, NQ, CL, GC + more EXECUTION STUDY
R1 · BLUE

Two ways a rotation ends

EAD watches the dominant side for two specific conditions — exhaustion or absorption — that mark the end of a leg.

R2 · RED

Triangles, not arrows

Prints in real time at the exact price where the detection occurred — visible without scanning subgraphs.

R3 · BLUE

Confluence-first

Designed as confirmation at structural extremes — not a standalone trigger. Pairs cleanly with Dominator and Delta Map.

OFL:LIQUIDITYZONESExecution StudySierra · NinjaTrader · MotiveWave · EdgeProX

Liquidity Zones

Iceberg orders quietly define the day's most important pivots — and they rarely show up on a standard chart. Liquidity Zones detects passive participants holding the book, draws the zone on your chart in real time, and gives you a clean, repeatable area to plan retest and continuation trades. Stop guessing where absorption happened and start trading it.

Continuous scan

Evaluates the auction tick-by-tick against configurable delta and price thresholds — no manual drawing.

R2 · RED

Recommended or custom

Ship with OFL's calibrated defaults for liquid CME futures, or dial in your own thresholds per instrument.

R3 · BLUE

Plan retests, not panic entries

Each printed zone is a documented setup — a level to plan around, not a knee-jerk signal.

OFL:LEGTOLEGPROFILESExecution StudySierra · NinjaTrader · MotiveWave · EdgeProX

Leg to Leg

Standard session profiles tell you where volume traded today, but they say nothing about the current leg of the auction. Leg to Leg Profiles auto-draws a fresh volume profile from each swing high or low and resets when price rotates — the rotational volume profile traders use to read live support, resistance, and absorption without redrawing anything.

R1 · BLUE

Rotational anchoring

Detects the most recent qualifying swing and re-anchors a profile there — automatically, every leg.

R2 · RED

Volume mode

Surfaces HVNs (fair-value pockets) and LVNs (thin areas that tend to traverse fast) inside the active leg.

R3 · BLUE

Delta mode

Swap volume for ask-minus-bid delta to expose absorption right where the auction is making its decision.

OFL:JOBPIVOTSStructure StudySierra · NinjaTrader · MotiveWave · EdgeProX

Job Pivots

Futures traders need a clean, reliable line in the sand to anchor session bias before the open. JOB Pivots is the auction pivot study that delivers exactly that — a single structurally meaningful pivot with paired targets, tested 90–93% of the time in ES and NQ. The companion Balance Zones extend the framework to a multi-day view of support, resistance, and expected range.

R1 · BLUE

Session pivot + targets

A single horizontal pivot with paired target levels above and below — frames every rotation of the session.

R2 · RED

Bias workflow

Use the pivot to remove pre-market bias and anchor your session plan. Above is bullish, below is bearish.

R3 · BLUE

Tested 90–93%

Back-tested touch rate on ES and NQ — both bias anchor and high-probability target on the same level.

OFL:MGIDAILYReference LevelsSierra · NinjaTrader · MotiveWave · EdgeProX

MGI Daily

Every futures session opens around the prior day's most-traded structure. MGI Daily auto-plots the previous session's open, high, low, close, settlement, and rotation reference prices on every chart — the levels institutional desks defend, fade, and target every morning. Use them as the structural backbone for opening drives, retests, and inventory rotations on ES, NQ, CL, and GC.

OFL:VWAPPROStructure StudySierra · NinjaTrader · MotiveWave · EdgeProX

VWAP Pro

VWAP Pro is OFL's multi-anchor VWAP toolkit — Rolling Pivot, Daily / Weekly / Monthly opens, Rotation Anchored, and SG Anchored modes plus customizable deviation bands, all in one configurable study so you can stop stacking individual VWAPs on every chart.

OFL:AUTOPLOTFoundationSierra · NinjaTrader · MotiveWave · EdgeProX

AutoPlot

Drawing balance areas, ranges, and prior-session reference levels by hand every morning is tedious and inconsistent. AutoPlot paints the structural levels futures traders actually use to plan ES, NQ, CL, and other order-flow trades — automatically. It is the foundation the rest of the OFL package builds on.

OFL:VRANGEVolatility StudySierra · NinjaTrader · MotiveWave · EdgeProX

VRange

Implied volatility tells you where a session is statistically allowed to travel — VRange makes it readable on the chart. It builds expected high and low envelopes from the relationship between the session open and the matching VIX-family index, so you can see in real time when price is reaching the edge of its priced-in range and where mean-reversion setups carry an edge.

Edge-of-range reads

Surfaces the moments when price reaches the priced-in boundary — the high-quality reversion zone.

R3 · BLUE

Stack with structure

Use alongside ATR Ranges and Buy/Sell Zones — confluence with structure separates fades from continuations.
