Real iceberg detection
Icebergs are confirmed from the order itself: the same order id reloading its size right after a fill. Not inferred from traded-versus-displayed volume.
Order-flow trading platform for futures
See every order.
ExposedFlow reads the futures book order by order — the real queue, real iceberg orders, real aggressor delta — and puts it on a DOM, liquidity heatmap and footprint you can trade from. One fast desktop app, on your own Rithmic connection.

Order flow
The parts of the tape other tools can't show
Most retail platforms work from aggregated price-level depth and guess who the aggressor was. ExposedFlow subscribes to the exchange's order-by-order feed, so it knows each resting order, when it was filled, and when it reloaded.
Liquidity heatmap
Resting liquidity, where you're looking
A heatmap of every resting order over time, plus a Book Depth histogram on the price axis. The spotlight lens shows the heatmap only around your cursor, so the rest of the chart stays clean.
Large-vs-Retail delta
Delta split by trade size, so you see whether the large and the small orders agree or pull in opposite directions. Only possible with per-order sizes.
Aggressor bubbles and the tape
Each aggressive event, grouped from its fills, drawn on the chart by size. Time and sales flags sweeps across levels.

Footprint, profile and the studies that matter
Footprint
Every candle, down to bid × ask
Volume at each price as bid against ask, raw delta, or a side-profile per bar. Imbalances are boxed and the value area is marked. Filter to only the large prints in one click.
Market Profile (TPO)
Where price spent its time
TPO profiles with value area, point of control and the initial balance. Colour-graded by time or drawn as classic letters, across as many sessions as you want to stack.

Options context
Dealer gamma on the futures chart

Trading
Trade it from the DOM and the chart
DOM / SuperDOM
One-click trading on a ladder with depth bars, a live book read and absorption meter. Flatten and reverse are one key.

Built for funded accounts
Rules you set, enforced before the order goes out
Risk limits and the drawdown floor
Per-account daily loss, max loss per trade, trades per day and a cool-down after a losing streak. The accounts strip tracks the intraday trailing-drawdown floor and how much room is left.
Trade copier
Mirror a master account to several sub-accounts, across brokers, with each sub's size and status in one window.
Replay
Replay any session on your whole desk
Pick a day and a start time. Every window you have open switches to that session, with the same layout, tools and indicators, and plays it back at 1× to 60×. Record a session with one click and its DOM, heatmap and icebergs replay exactly as they happened.

Review
A journal that fills itself, and a planning assistant
Sample data
Trade journal
Every fill, recorded for you
Fills are captured as they happen, for every connected account. You get stats, an equity curve, a P&L calendar and each trade on its own chart. Older history imports from an IB statement.
AI Trade Plan
A second opinion before the open
An AI planning assistant built in: paste your own Claude or OpenAI API key into its settings once. It reads your charts, levels and order flow on the timeframes you choose and drafts scenarios with a trigger, a stop beyond a real level, targets and what would invalidate them. Risk rules are checked in code. You decide what, if anything, to trade.
Charting
A full charting package, too
70+ indicators: the order-flow studies above, 46 classic studies and a range of moving averages. Drawing tools, tick charts, back-adjusted rolls, alerts, and Desks you can save and spread across monitors.

Questions
What do I need to run it?
A Windows 10 or 11 PC and a Rithmic connection: from your futures broker, or the one your prop firm gives you. ExposedFlow connects to it directly; your data and orders never pass through our servers.
Does it work with Apex and other prop firms?
Yes, with any prop firm that provides a Rithmic connection. It also tracks the intraday trailing drawdown floor, so you can see how much room the account has left.
Which markets?
CME index futures today: the NQ and ES families (NQ, MNQ, ES, MES). More symbols are planned.
Can I trade from it, or is it analysis only?
Both. You can trade from the DOM, the chart or the ticket, with ATM brackets, hotkeys and a trade copier. Rithmic accounts, Interactive Brokers and built-in paper accounts are supported.
Is the AI Trade Plan giving me signals?
No. It's an optional planning assistant that runs on your own Claude or OpenAI API key and drafts scenarios from your data for you to review. It doesn't place trades, and nothing it writes is a recommendation.
When does it launch, and what will it cost?
Pricing is announced at launch. Waitlist members hear first and get founder pricing.
