Dive Deeper Into Footprint Analysis As Taught By An Institutional Trader

If you don't know me by now, my name is Michael Valtos and in my over 25 years of live market experience trading at some of the biggest banks and commodity trading companies in the world.

What You Will Learn

Module 1: The Role of Order Flow
In this foundational module, you will learn about the core concept of order flow and its pivotal role in decoding market mechanics through footprint charts. You’ll explore how order flow—the real-time trading stream of buy and sell trades—drives price action, offering a granular view beyond traditional candlestick charts. The discussion will center on spotting institutional footprints, such as large volume clusters and delta spikes, which signal big-player activity. You’ll learn how to interpret these signals to either trade alongside institutional momentum or fade their exhaustion. Key topics will include visualizing liquidity and understanding institutional influence—how large players manipulate supply and demand through tactics like spoofing or absorption.


Module 2: Clean Charts vs. Chop Charts
You’ll dive into market selection, learning how to differentiate trending (clean) markets from ranging (chop) markets using advanced footprint diagnostics. You’ll explain how clean charts offer tradable momentum, while chop charts trap traders in noise. The discussion will cover volume consistency, delta trends, and liquidity patterns. You will learn to refine their focus, trading only in conditions where order flow signals align, boosting their win rates and efficiency.


Module 3: Order Flow in Different Market Conditions


This module will explore how to adapt order flow techniques to diverse market environments—volatile, thin, and trending—using footprint charts. You’ll learn trading volatile markets by leveraging imbalances for fast-moving momentum plays. For thin markets, you’ll cover avoiding traps. In trending markets, you’ll learn about adjusting strategies with delta to ride sustained moves.


Module 4: Delta Distribution Footprint Techniques
In this module, you’ll focus on using delta distribution—the mapping of aggressive buying vs. selling pressure—to pinpoint trade setups and key levels on footprint charts. You’ll about delta nodes as support/resistance zones where aggressive flow dominates, and which delta nodes to use as breakout or fade zones with minimal aggression. You’ll learn about mapping delta distribution to identify key levels, combining delta with volume, and an advanced technique, Delta Sequencing to track momentum. You will learn to use delta as a lens for order flow strength, enhancing your trading.


Module 5: Order Flow Scalping with Footprint Charts
This module will teach you how to leverage footprint charts for rapid, high-frequency scalping in fast-moving markets. You’ll explain the foundations of scalping—targeting small moves (e.g., 5-10 ticks) on short timeframes—and why footprints excel with real-time order flow visibility. The discussion will cover identifying setups like aggressive momentum for quick longs and micro-reversals for fades. Timing entries and exits with precision will be key, alongside tight risk management . You’ll learn about Bid/Ask Momentum Shifts to catch rapid transitions, equipping traders to scalp with speed and accuracy in volatile conditions.


Module 6: Advanced Footprint Techniques
Here, you’ll learn advanced footprint techniques. You’ll likely explore sophisticated order flow signals—such as Exhaustion Extension, Delta Pullbacks, Liquidity Pushes, Micro-Reversals, Aggressive Momentum, Liquidity Clusters, Bid-Ask Shifts.
This module will push traders to master complex, high-probability trades, leveraging footprints’ deepest insights.


Module 7: Exit Techniques
This module focuses on mastering exits—from initial stop loss management to ongoing profit-taking—using footprint precision to enhance risk control. You’ll cover setting initial stops, scaling out, emergency exits, and you’ll learn how to use unfinished auctions as exit zones. Traders will learn to protect capital and lock gains dynamically, guided by live order flow signals.


Module 8: Putting It All Together – Your Pre-Trade Checklist
In this final module, you’ll put together all prior techniques into a cohesive pre-trade mental checklist, creating a repeatable trading process. You’ll outline a checklist covering market condition, delta, volume, imbalances, and absorption. Avoid conflicting signals to filter out traps. You will leave with a structured framework to assess setups, confirm trades, and execute with confidence, putting everything you learned in the course together.

Next, you'll accelerate into order flow scalping techniques (Module 5), deepen your trading toolkit with advanced techniques (Module 6), improve your exits (Module 7), and finally integrate everything into a pre-trade mental checklist (Module 8).
