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
