Most indicators show where price has been. TapeSpeed™ shows what's happening now, in the actual orders hitting the tape.
TapeSpeed™ is a precision order flow detector for retail traders. It reveals the earliest signs of institutional aggression at your key price levels by measuring real-time order velocity (Aggressive Bid/Ask Volume Per Second) separating genuine momentum from routine noise via adaptive filtering.
The histogram shows two things independently. Bar height (with peak-tracking wicks) is current total buy/sell speed, how fast aggression is moving. Color is order flow delta, which side controls the tape, regardless of speed.
Height answers "how fast."
Color answers "who's winning."
An adaptive baseline (KAMA/SMA/EMA/Off) filters routine noise so only meaningful deviations render, with a smart freeze-and-escape mechanism keeping real bursts visible for their full duration while still adapting if the market structurally shifts.
Scalpers and order flow traders who need to see institutional participation as it happens, not several candlesticks after the fact; distinguishing genuine momentum at the moment it matters.
⚠️ Important: TapeSpeed™ is primarily designed for Equity Index Futures. TapeSpeed™ requires an active connection to an unaggregated Level 1 tick-by-tick data feed with historical bid/ask pricing (Continuum/Rithmic/CQG).
