Essential Tools
Value
Bare minimum for my trading is Volume Profile & Vwap, this is how I determine "value"
Volume Profile
Use Case: Trade Locations
Types: Fixed Range, Fixed time & Visible Range
Application: @tradingview
Vwap
Use Case: System selection, Directional bias & Location
Settings: Time-based, Rolling and Anchored
Application: @tradingview
Orderflow & Liquidity
Reading flows requires from combination of Takers(market orders) & Makers(limit orders)
My personal choice is Orderbook/Heatmap in combination with simple volume/delta
For perp flows I also use Open Interest go gauge how people are positioning & general risk levels in the market
Orderflow & Liquidity
Use Case: Trade execution(confirmation for the noobs)
Taker Flows: @tradingview & aggr
Maker Flows: TBD
Spaghetti
Asset filtering is essential in crypto where majority of coins are duds. Spaghetti is how I find strong coins
Spaghetti
Use Case: Filtering for strength & weakness
Application: @tradingview
