GLOBAL FLOW — the desk language, explained

Quick start

1. Open the Desk or Chart and choose a market pair.
2. Start with the default chart layers. If the view feels busy, turn off layers you do not need.
3. Read the short market notes and check the chart context. Treat them as observations to review, not instructions to trade.
4. Open Conditions to explore the available Arms. You can preview the product without a paid plan; always-on monitoring requires an active plan.
5. When you are ready, compare current plan features and limits on Pricing.

GLOBAL FLOW provides market observations and alerts. It does not place orders, confirm executions, or guarantee results.

Your first Arm — a beginner’s walkthrough

Think of an Arm as a watchlist rule. You choose a market and a condition; GLOBAL FLOW watches for a matching market observation and adds a notice when it sees one. It is more like a smoke alarm than an autopilot: it can draw your attention, but it cannot tell you what will happen next or make a trade for you.

Try one watch

1. Sign in and activate a plan that includes always-on Arms. Check Pricing for the current limits and what each plan includes.
2. Open the Desk, choose the pair and market you want to monitor, then open Conditions.
3. Find a condition whose plain-language description matches what you want to notice. Pull under pressure is a straightforward first example; start with one Arm rather than enabling everything.
4. Select Arm. Check Always-on pairs and pin the chart pair if it is not already listed. Pins determine which pairs continue to be watched when you leave the page.
5. Look under Hits for notices. If you no longer want a watch, select Disarm. To stop external notifications, use Stop alerts in Delivery; this does not disarm your conditions.

For your first test, use a small number of watches and review each hit against the chart. Signals are estimates based on market data, not confirmed fills, forecasts, or personalized financial advice. Trading can result in losses.

How to read the desk

GLOBAL FLOW is not a pile of indicators. Read top-down, then drill into the wall that owns the story.

1. Soft Pulse tip — one sentence: what just became interesting on this recent market update (such as a sweep or a change in visible liquidity). Select it to explore related context.
2. Soft Truth grade — is the consolidated soft book solid, mixed, phantom, thin, or cold? Soft Truth is not an Arm; it grades integrity.
3. Walls / Echo pin — where is the resting size, and is it Echo (multi-venue) or Solo? SoftBits on the span tell hit/pull/ghost, magnet, absorb, sticky, door.
4. QUANT chips (when warm) — VPIN, Hawkes, LAS, APR, spread, depth regen, OI pain. Each chip opens its own Arm — they do not steal the tip’s Arm.
5. Arms / inbox — arm what you want always-on; hits land in-app (+ webhook / Telegram by plan). Pinned pairs ≠ the chart symbol.

These are contextual observations. A missing note can simply mean that the relevant market conditions were not observed.

A few useful terms

How to interpret market observations

Chart labels, summaries, and Condition hits are interpretations of available market data. They can be incomplete, delayed, or wrong, especially when data coverage is limited.

• Visible liquidity and market activity can change quickly.
• A chart observation does not identify an individual trader or reveal hidden orders.
• Terms such as “likely hit,” “likely pull,” and “ghost” are estimates, not confirmed exchange executions.
• When information is limited, some summaries may show weak, mixed, or unavailable coverage.
• Use the chart and available context to assess a notice; do not treat it as a guaranteed trading opportunity.

GLOBAL FLOW is a market research and alerting tool, not a broker or order-execution service. It does not provide personalized financial advice.

Where to find features

Account & wallet

• Connect and bind a supported Polygon wallet from Pricing to activate a paid plan.
• Plans are prepaid in USDT. Review the amount, network, renewal settings, and current terms on Pricing before confirming a payment.
• Available features and usage limits depend on your active plan; see the in-app plan details for the current entitlements.

Plans & features

Plans build on one another by adding capacity and tools. The live Pricing page is the source for current prices, limits, billing terms, and availability.

Exact limits and eligibility can change. Check Pricing and the plan shown in your account before relying on a particular capacity or delivery channel.

All paid plans include access to the Arms catalog appropriate to the plan. Higher plans increase capacity and add selected tools; they do not promise better trading outcomes.

Desk chrome — rails you will see

Besides Soft Pulse and walls, the desk and chart header carry context rails. They are soft / MBP observations — useful atmosphere, not trade signals.

War Front — live soft book fight

On fullscreen / max chart, War Front turns wall drama into opposing bid vs ask force — a visual fight board, not a second Soft Pulse dialect.

• Modes: FIGHT · WITH BOOK · ALIGNED · WATCHING
• Actions (examples): Tape fighting the book · Wall absorbing · Wall leaking · Fast wall breach · Price pressed into wall · Liquidity sweep · Sticky wall weakening · Condition hit
• Bid force / ask force bars + pressure label (Bids / Asks / Even)
• Soft coverage fogs the rail when few venues are live
• Click / CTA opens Conditions / Arms for the related story

Optional fullscreen readouts: Chart tools → Add / remove readouts lets you add Flow & participation (tape delta, absorption, trade activity), Liquidity & book quality (depth recovery, spread and cross-venue integrity), and Perpetual positioning (open interest, funding and liquidations). These use available chart data, can be moved and resized in Arrange readouts, and can be switched off whenever you want a cleaner view. Perpetual positioning is only available on perpetual markets; individual signals may wait until their required data is available.

Fullscreen placement: Open Chart tools → Arrange readouts. Drag a readout handle to move it and its corner to resize it, then choose Done. Your layout is saved in this browser; Reset positions restores the defaults.

War Front titles stay soft / MBP. Intensity and glow are presentation — the claim is still the underlying drama event.

Chart layers (full control)

Layers on Desk / Chart / Grid toggles every major overlay. Grid stores prefs per pane. Clear all = candles only. Defaults = readable first-session pack (Heat, Walls, Scars, Vol, Echo, Soft, OI, Magnets, Leads, NOW, Focus on; heavy overlays off).

Layer recipes

Chart overlays — beyond walls

Liquidity walls

A wall is a larger area of visible buy or sell liquidity. Walls can help you see where displayed liquidity is concentrated, but they can move or disappear and do not guarantee that an order will execute there.

What the chart may show

• Horizontal areas marking visible liquidity levels.
• Short labels describing observed changes, such as holding, weakening, or disappearing.
• Related context, such as market activity near a wall or similar liquidity across venues.
• Links from some chart observations to related Conditions in the catalog.

These labels are estimates from visible market data. They do not confirm a cancellation, a fill, spoofing, or any trader’s intent.

Chart labels

Short labels may appear beside liquidity walls and other chart features. They summarize what the available market data appears to show.

Labels can be uncertain or unavailable when market-data coverage is limited.

Market behavior labels

The product uses short labels to summarize changes in visible liquidity and market activity. These names are intended to help you read the chart and Conditions catalog; they are not exchange order statuses.

An Arm can combine more than one observation. The catalog explains the user-visible condition; exact matching details are not a substitute for reviewing the live market.

Echo & Soft Truth

Echo

Echo highlights similar visible liquidity observations across more than one venue. It can help you compare whether market context looks consistent or isolated. The display depends on current data availability.

Soft Truth

Soft Truth summarizes how consistent the available market observations appear across venues. Its grade can help you spot when information looks mixed or limited. It is a context tool—not an Arm, forecast, or measure of future price direction.

• Use the grade alongside the chart and other available information.
• Limited venue coverage can result in a weak, mixed, or unavailable reading.
• Neither Echo nor Soft Truth confirms an order, a fill, or a trading opportunity.

Soft Pulse summaries

Soft Pulse presents concise summaries of selected market observations and related context. It is designed to help you decide what to inspect on the chart, not to tell you what trade to make.

• Read the note together with the chart and the condition description.
• Select a note when available to explore related context in Conditions.
• Other labels may appear when the relevant market data is available.

A quiet panel does not necessarily indicate a problem; the market may not have produced a relevant observation, or supporting data may be limited.

Market context indicators

Additional context labels may appear when supporting market data is available. They summarize different aspects of activity, liquidity, volatility, and derivatives data.

Indicator names and values are contextual estimates; they are not recommendations, guarantees, or confirmation of hidden orders.

NOW HUD & Focus

NOW

• Shows live mid price + session change %.
• When Soft Pulse is on, NOW stays lean (price only). Ghost / Echo waiting / Above / Below SoftBits do not stack on the candles.
• Turn Soft off if you want those SoftBits under NOW again (wall tags still work either way).

Focus

The Focus layer only allows the teal price line. Toggling Focus on alone paints nothing — that is intentional, not a bug.

1. Layers → Focus on, Walls (or Echo) on.
2. Click a wall span, scar stack, or Echo pin.
3. Teal Focus line ~12 seconds (or Global tip when on a venue + ◎ Global).

Symbol · market · source

• Symbol — e.g. BTCUSDT. Desk / Chart / Grid panes can each hold a different symbol (Grid = per pane).
• Market — spot · perpetual · inverse · futures · options (Grid market types). Drama language is richest on liquid perps / spots with multi-venue books.
• Source — global consolidated soft book vs a single venue. Venue mode shows that venue’s candles; turn ◎ Global on to keep the Index tip.
• Data availability — older or unavailable market data may be excluded, so some multi-venue summaries can appear limited or unavailable.
• Selected source — some observations apply only to the selected venue. Check the market and source shown in the interface before interpreting them.

Grid panes

• The number of chart panes available at once depends on your plan.
• Each pane can show its own market, timeframe, and chart layers.
• Use the pane controls to focus or enlarge a chart; mobile layouts may show one pane at a time.
• Market summaries may appear on a pane when the relevant data is available.
• Where offered, switch the volume display between total volume and change.
• Use Conditions to review available watches and recent hits.

Tape · battle · bubbles

• Tape / trade events — a view of reported trades, including available market, direction, and size context. Related chart tools summarize activity in different ways; availability depends on the selected market and current data.
• Battle — a short-window comparison of observed buying and selling activity. It is a summary, not a measure of trader intent.
• Imbalance — a comparison of visible buy- and sell-side liquidity near the current price.
• Bubbles — chart markers that group notable reported trade activity. Turn the layer off for a simpler candle view.
• Classic Conditions can watch broad changes in price, visible liquidity, or market activity. Read each condition’s description and availability in the catalog.

Footprint · CVD · liquidations

Profile / footprint (Layers → Profile)

• Compares reported buying and selling activity across price levels.
• POC — the price level with the most displayed volume in the view.
• VAH / VAL — boundaries of the displayed value area.
• Imbalance markers highlight notable differences in the displayed activity.

CVD

• A running comparison of reported buying and selling activity.
• Divergence labels describe cases where the price view and activity comparison differ; they are observations, not proof of absorption or exhaustion.
• Use these labels as context alongside the chart, not as a standalone trade signal.

Liquidations (Layers → Liqs)

• Markers for reported forced-liquidation events where that market data is available.
• Marker size represents the reported event size; color and direction distinguish the displayed side.
• These markers represent reported liquidation events, not estimates of future liquidation cascades.

Conditions & Arms — what they do

A Condition describes something to watch in market data. An Arm turns that watch on. When the observed data matches, GLOBAL FLOW can show a hit and, depending on your plan and settings, send a notification.

• Classic conditions watch broad changes such as price movement, liquidity, or market activity.
• Drama conditions describe changes in visible liquidity and market activity.
• Smart Setups combine related observations into a single watch.
• Some research-oriented conditions may be marked as experimental or require extra evidence before they can be armed.

Hits are soft observations based on available market data. They are not confirmed fills, predictions, or instructions to buy or sell. Always-on monitoring applies to the pairs shown in Always-on pairs, not necessarily the pair currently open on the chart.

Using the Conditions panel

• Starter and Smart Setup packs let you arm a group of related watches together. You can also arm individual items from the catalog.
• Select the settings icon on an armed condition to adjust its alert message and available sensitivity options. Defaults are suitable for a first look.
• Your plan limits the number of watches and notifications you can use. The panel and Pricing show current limits.
• Some research conditions are marked as experimental and stay unavailable until their evidence requirements are met.
• Selecting a market note or chart observation may take you to a related condition in the catalog.
• On a phone, the main Conditions view keeps watches easy to reach. Select Advanced for assistant and notification-delivery settings.

Watched pairs — choosing what stays monitored

• Always-on pairs are the markets your active conditions monitor, even when you leave the Desk.
• The current chart selection and your always-on pairs are separate. Check the pair list before relying on a watch.
• Use Pin [pair] to add the current chart pair, or Unpin to remove a pair and free capacity.
• Your plan determines how many pairs you can monitor; confirm the current limit in the panel or on Pricing.

Before leaving the page, verify that the pair you want is listed and that the intended conditions are armed.

Arms catalog — choose what to watch

The catalog groups watches by the kind of market behavior they help you notice. Availability depends on your plan; the labels in the Conditions panel show what you can arm.

Flow and above include the entry-level watch catalog; selected advanced conditions require Sentinel or above. Higher plans add capacity and tools. Your account and Pricing show current access. A listed condition describes a market observation, not a trading edge or a promise of profit.

Reading a hit without over-interpreting it

Replay and research

• Use the available playback controls to review recorded market context.
• Mark a segment and use a suggested condition when that option is available.
• Review the suggested condition and intended market before arming it.
• Replay is for research; historical observations do not predict future results.

Packs · .gfpack

Packs let you save and revisit a market-data snapshot for research. You can open or import a pack to study its chart and observations; exporting or sharing may require Capture or an eligible plan.

• Use a saved pack to review a past market scenario without treating it as a live signal.
• Sharing options and retention depend on your plan and the controls shown in the product.

Alerts & delivery

• In-app — new hits appear in the open product. When account-linked history is available, a limited list of recent hits can reappear when you reconnect.
• Webhook — send condition notifications to a destination you configure; availability depends on your plan. Server-side delivery can continue with the browser closed.
• Telegram — available on eligible plans when the delivery service is ready; server-side delivery can continue with the browser closed.
• For alerts while away, sign in on this browser, use a plan that supports always-on monitoring and your chosen delivery channel, arm the condition, and confirm the intended market is listed under Always-on pairs. Configure and save the destination, then use Send test. A successful test checks the delivery path only; it does not simulate a market condition or guarantee future delivery.
• Quiet hours — pause external webhook or Telegram notifications during the UTC hours you choose. In-app hits may still appear.
• Delivery history — after signing in, review this device’s external delivery attempts from the last 30 days. “Sent” means the delivery provider accepted the request; it does not confirm that a person received or read the message. A condition hit and a delivery attempt are separate events.
• Stop alerts — stops external delivery without disarming your conditions. Normal delivery-setting changes may ask you to approve the change in your connected wallet.

Emergency controls

Open Dashboard → Alert system → Danger Zone to choose what to stop. Stopping all external alerts or one channel affects delivery across browsers linked to your wallet; it leaves your conditions armed. Disarming one or all conditions affects the always-on conditions on this browser; it does not turn off delivery channels or conditions on other browsers. Each action asks you to confirm it. The browser must already be signed in, but these emergency actions do not request a new wallet signature.

Notifications describe market observations, not confirmed executions or guaranteed trading opportunities. External delivery depends on an eligible plan, saved settings, and service availability.

Billing & renew

• Prepaid plans — review the available payment amount, supported network, and renewal options on Pricing before confirming.
• Auto-renew — review the setting and keep enough balance if you want your plan to renew automatically.
• Capture — a separate add-on on some plans and included with higher plans; see Pricing for current eligibility and price.
• Manage your connected wallet and plan from the account controls on Pricing.

Capture & desktop

• Capture provides additional options to save, export, or share supported research packs.
• Desktop access may depend on your plan, but the Windows and macOS cards currently link to build guides, not downloadable installers. Do not treat plan access as confirmation that an installer is available.
• See Pricing for current Capture availability and requirements.

Apex assistant

Apex includes the Chatasks assistant, which can turn a plain-language description of what you want to watch into suggested conditions. Review every suggestion before arming it.

1. In Conditions, open the assistant and describe one market behavior you want to monitor.
2. Choose Preview first. Read the proposed conditions and their explanations.
3. If the suggestions match your intent, select Compile & arm.
4. Confirm the intended pair is pinned and review any resulting hits in the Conditions panel.

The assistant does not place orders, validate a trading strategy, or guarantee that a condition will be profitable. Plan limits apply; the interface shows when capacity is unavailable.

Connected experiences

Some eligible plans may provide links from supported partner experiences into GLOBAL FLOW. When you arrive through a partner, check the selected market and review any proposed conditions before you apply or arm them.

Only use integrations shown in the product or linked from official GLOBAL FLOW pages. Never approve a wallet request you do not understand.
