hard · Order Flow Analysis

An institutional 'VWAP' algorithm is tasked with buying 5,000 contracts.

How will this typically appear in the cumulative delta chart versus an 'Iceberg' defense at a single level?

  1. VWAP will cause a persistent, smooth positive drift in cumulative delta; Iceberg will cause a sharp horizontal 'shelf' of volume at one price.
  2. VWAP will result in negative delta because it only buys on pullbacks; Iceberg will show positive delta.
  3. There is no difference; both appear as buying imbalances on the footprint.
  4. VWAP will show as a single vertical spike; Iceberg will show as a flat line.
