Last updated
FlowMaster™ AudioBox is one of the most powerful tools in the AlgoBox™ suite for Real-Time Order Flow Analysis (RTOFA), using sound to amplify the trading experience. This audio-based indicator detects large buying and selling activity in real time, offering a decisive edge in trading by pinpointing the presence of major market players and their likely directional bias.
With its proprietary algorithms, FlowMaster™ AudioBox makes the traditional Time & Sales ladder obsolete, bringing the market to life with enhanced clarity.
The sounds you hear are of 2 distinct types generated by AudioBox - an advanced level algo detection system. These 2 audibly perceived sounds consist of a higher pitched clack and a lower pitched boom.
The higher pitch sounds represent the aggressiveness and entry to the market of big buyers at the level. Conversely, the lower pitch boom sounds are the institutional sized algos selling at the level. To learn more, watch the training videos.
