What is in the starter guide
- About 15 pages, PDF. Title: Starter Guide: Order Flow & Prop Evaluation Basics.
- Bid and ask, market and limit orders, delta and cumulative delta (CVD), footprint basics, and volume profile basics (POC, VAH, VAL).
- Simple risk rules for prop evaluations: size from the stop, a daily loss limit, and how a trailing drawdown can shrink your buffer.
- 4 real, annotated ATAS X screenshots, worked examples with made-up numbers, a quiz with answers and a one-week practice plan.
- We email it to you after we check your proof. It is educational only: no trade signals and no promised results.
What is inside the full course
- 5 modules: (1) Order Flow Basics, (2) Levels and Risk Context, (3) Option Flow for Futures Traders, (4) ATAS Tools, (5) Risk Management and Trading Journal.
- A PDF of about 52 pages with a table of contents, plus the same five modules as separate PDFs.

- Plain-language definitions, worked examples, practice exercises and a 5-question quiz with answers in each module.
- Bonus: the CVD Divergence Map, a visual ATAS indicator with an install guide. It is a visual aid only: it has not been validated or backtested, it has no proven edge, and it is not an entry signal.
- A README with the file list. Instant download after payment.
What this course is not: it is not financial advice, it gives no trade signals, and it promises no profits, income or results. All numbers in the examples are illustrative. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. ATAS is a product of its own vendor; this course is not affiliated with or endorsed by ATAS. Menu and indicator names can differ between ATAS versions. An ATAS account (and any ATAS plan or data feed needed for the tools you want to use) is not included.
What a good order flow course should cover
- Footprint charts: bid/ask volume at each price, and how to read them bar by bar.
- Delta and cumulative delta: aggressive buyers vs sellers, and divergences.
- Imbalances, absorption and exhaustion: where aggressive orders fail to move price.
- Volume profile and VWAP: where the market has accepted value.
- Risk rules: position size and a stop you decide before you enter.
Red flags in any trading course
- "Guaranteed pass" or "100% win rate" claims.
- Screenshots of P&L with no risk shown.
- Passing services or account-sharing (usually against firm rules).
- No refund policy, or no clear list of what you actually get.
FAQ
What is order flow trading?
Reading the actual buying and selling behind each price move (who is aggressive, where orders are absorbed) using tools like the footprint chart, delta and volume profile, instead of only the shape of candles.
Do I need expensive software?
This course uses the ATAS platform. An ATAS account (and any ATAS plan or data feed needed for the tools you want to use) is not included. Check what your prop firm allows.
Is order flow a guaranteed edge?
No. It's information about who is trading, not a prediction machine. It helps you define setups and stops more precisely; it doesn't remove risk.
What is the starter guide and how do I get it?
It is a short PDF of about 15 pages on order flow basics and simple risk rules for prop evaluations. It is included when you send proof of 1 purchase or sign-up made through a TrueCostProp affiliate link. We will email it to you after we check your proof. Buying is not required: the full course is always available at $1,500.
Do I have to buy an evaluation to get the course?
No. Buying evaluations or opening accounts is not required. The full price of $1,500 is always available.
Educational only. Not financial advice. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss. No results are promised.
