The σ readout
Raw flow in contracts is not comparable across symbols, sessions, or times of day. Every value is normalized against its own trailing band, so “+4.2σ” carries the same meaning on ES at 2 a.m. as on NQ at the open, and it ports to any instrument with an order book without per-symbol calibration.
TOTAL FLOW+4.2σ(5m)
2m +1.8σ
3m +2.4σ
5m +4.2σ
10m +1.1σ
NoteA value only appears once the band for that window is fully seeded. Until then the cell reads
--.
