PlainFlow is a real-time institutional order flow analysis tool for crypto markets. It tracks large buyer and seller activity across spot and futures exchanges to give you an edge in understanding market direction.

Flow bias indicates whether large participants (whales) are net buying or net selling over a given time window. A bullish bias means whales are accumulating; a bearish bias means they are distributing.

Trade sizes are categorized by USD value. Whale trades are typically $100k+, medium trades $10k–$100k, and retail trades under $10k. Exact thresholds may vary by symbol.

Currently PlainFlow tracks BTC/USDT across both spot and futures markets. Multi-symbol support (ETH, SOL, and more) is planned for the Pro tier.

You can set alerts for when a price crosses above or below a target level. When triggered, you'll be notified via the dashboard and optionally by email (if enabled in notification settings).

VPIN (Volume-Synchronized Probability of Informed Trading) is a classic measure of one-sided order flow. The name comes from the academic literature; on our own data we make no claim about who is trading. What we measured: extreme VPIN readings on this market preceded range compression more often than expansion — the opposite of the folk "toxicity means sharp moves" reading. We show it as an observed condition, not a warning.

Lambda measures price impact per unit of institutional flow — how far price moves per dollar traded. High lambda means the market is thin (flow moves price easily); low lambda means flow is being absorbed. It describes market state, not intent, and carries no validated directional meaning on our data.
