The Deep Trades indicator allows traders to visualize large, aggressive market orders in real time. It highlights significant buy and sell activity directly on the chart, helping identify institutional participation and strong directional intent.

This indicator is especially useful for:

• Detecting aggressive buyers and sellers

• Identifying high-impact price levels

• Understanding real-time order flow dynamics
