So, time and sales is permanent, but order flow can temporary and easily manipulated ??order flow are orders
Order flow is the amount of a transaction that has been signed and agreed upon by both parties. It is being traded at the market value is said to be the buyer-initiated (i.e. positive) as well as the seller-initiated at just the bid price (i.e. negative). Market orders and marketable limit orders are in fact the most common method of initiating and executing contracts. The liquidity provided by traders and market makers is absorbed immediately by these transactions. Liquidity is said to be provided by traders who send restricted orders, which are posted in an electronic limited order book. As long as the electronic market is available for trading, the acquisition and also the selling of orders flow into another accompanying exchange system.
What @2rosy said. I can give you an example that may make it easier to comprehend:difference between Time & Sales And Orderflow ??
Let’s say best bid is 100 shares @ 9.99. Then you see shares increased to 1100, so someone sent an order to buy 1000 shares at that price. The next thing you see is shares are back at 100, so what happened? You look at Time and Sales to see if that order was traded or canceled(if no sale is reported, the order was canceled). Orderflow is a concept while TnS and Order Book are just display tools.
