When you trade on Flows.Trading, you’re not using a separate market-data provider, nor are you executing trades on an internal engine.
Flows.Trading is a professional interface that sits on top of your brokers.
This means:
-
Market data comes directly from your connected exchange(s).
-
All orders continue to be executed at your broker, exactly as if you were trading on their platform.
-
Flows.Trading does not modify, filter, or “enhance” raw price data — what you see is what the exchange sends.
This design ensures maximum transparency and full alignment with the reality of the market.
Why this matters (and why it’s good for you) #
Choosing a trading platform is not just about charts and tools — it’s about trusting the data you make decisions with.
Because Flows.Trading relies on your brokers’ real-time feeds, you benefit from:
1. Guaranteed Accuracy #
You see the exact same price that exists on the exchange you’re trading on.
No intermediaries. No delays introduced by third-party data vendors.
2. Zero Data Manipulation #
Some platforms use aggregated or synthetic feeds.
Flows.Trading does not.
Your charts reflect true broker data, candle by candle.
3. Seamless Execution #
When you place an order:
-
It is sent directly to your broker
-
Executed using their infrastructure
-
Logged automatically into your Journal
You keep all of the broker’s execution advantages (latency, liquidity access, fee tiers…), while enjoying Flows.Trading’s superior interface.
What Data Comes from the Broker? #
Flows.Trading retrieves and displays the following broker-native information:
✔ Live Market Data #
Current prices, historical candles, and volumes.
✔ Asset Availability #
Only symbols available on your selected broker will appear.
✔ Account & Position Data #
Balances, open positions, and trade history come directly from the exchange.
✘ Market Depth (Order Book) #
Currently not supported.
Important Implications #
Because Flows.Trading relies fully on broker feeds, a few things naturally follow:
1. Data Quality Depends on Your Broker #
If your broker has slower updates, missing candles, or low-liquidity wicks — that will appear on the chart.
2. Disconnecting a Broker Removes Its Data #
If the connection is invalid or temporarily disabled:
-
That broker’s symbols disappear
-
Real-time updates stop
-
Execution becomes unavailable
3. The Chart Always Reflects the Active Broker #
Switch broker → chart switches to that broker’s version of the symbol.
This is normal and part of ensuring precise execution.
Why Flows.Trading Doesn’t Provide Its Own Price Feed #
You might wonder why we don’t just deliver our own universal feed like some charting websites.
There’s a simple reason:
Because you trade at your broker — not on us. #
Using a third-party feed while executing somewhere else leads to:
-
Price discrepancies
-
Invalid setups
-
Orders rejected because the real price is different
-
False signals when indicators rely on mismatched candles
Flows.Trading avoids these issues entirely by ensuring:
Your chart always matches the price used to execute your order.
In Summary #
Flows.Trading is your professional control center — a unified, powerful interface —
but the data and the execution remain exactly where they should be: with your broker.
You get the best of both worlds:
-
Professional tools, multi-broker workflow, and advanced features
-
Exchange-native data and real execution integrity
No data distortion. No artificial feeds. No hidden middle layer.
Just clean, accurate market data — straight from your broker to your screen.
