Advanced Orderflow Trading Strategy: Read Market Intent with IB/IS Signals & Nifty Analysis
This Vtrender video covers one of the most important concepts in order flow trading — understanding Initiative Buying (IB) and Initiative Selling (IS) signals to read market intent before price moves.
What are IB/IS Signals?
- Initiative Buying (IB) — aggressive buying activity that signals institutions are accumulating positions, pushing price higher with conviction
- Initiative Selling (IS) — aggressive selling activity that signals distribution, with institutions offloading positions and driving price lower
Key Concepts Covered
- How IB/IS signals appear on order flow charts
- Distinguishing initiative activity from responsive (counter-trend) activity
- Using IB/IS to identify the dominant force in the market
- Combining IB/IS signals with market structure for high-probability setups
- Real Nifty examples showing IB/IS in action during live sessions
Why This Matters for Derivatives Traders
Understanding who is taking initiative in the market gives you a significant edge when trading Nifty and BankNifty options. Rather than guessing direction, you can observe the actual buying and selling pressure as it happens.
