Antick for institutional desks

How a desk uses Antick to check executable liquidity, large-trade flow and cross-asset regimes before committing size.

Who this is for

You manage size, so the question is not only where price might go but whether the book can absorb the order without moving against you. Antick is a read-only analytics layer that sits beside your execution stack: it never connects to an exchange account and never holds funds.

Start with market-wide liquidity

On the LBI Intelligence page, the Liquidity Pressure Map shows where order-book pressure leans across every tracked asset. Depth Strength Distribution and Manipulation Risk Overview show whether a move is liquid market-wide or concentrated in a few thin books.

Check executable, not displayed, depth

Displayed depth answers the size question badly: walls appear, attract flow and vanish before they are hit. Order Book Depth Behavior marks pulled liquidity, fake walls, fake zones and trap zones on one depth chart, and Displayed vs Executable Liquidity shows how much of the book actually traded.

Follow the larger trades

Top Trader Flow measures net buying versus selling from the largest trades, derived from trade size rather than tracked wallets. Read next to Market Trend and the Volatility Index, it shows where large trades are leaning right now.

Read structure and rotation

MSI places every asset in a structural regime and tracks how much of the market is transitioning between regimes. Sector Rotation shows where capital is moving in and where it is leaving.

Read positioning in the order flow

SAI scores absorption, refill speed, passive bid support and order survival. The Accumulation Index shows how much quiet accumulation appears across the universe.

Screen the universe from one table

Discovery Intelligence ranks every asset on discovery strength, momentum, liquidity and stability, with a tab for each engine. Every score breaks down metric by metric on the Metrics Breakdown page, so a read can be audited rather than trusted.
