Volume Delta Analysis

Calculation

Volume Delta Analysis quantifies the numerical variance between buying pressure and selling pressure by aggregating order flow data within specific time intervals. This metric subtracts the cumulative volume of executed sell orders from the total volume of executed buy orders at the current market price. By isolating the net directional bias of participants, traders identify whether passive liquidity is being consumed by aggressive market orders. This calculation serves as a primary input for reconstructing intraday order book dynamics.
