Under the most common usage:
#color(white)("XXX")#current flow is from positive to negative.

Explanation:

Most electrical engineers maintain the view that the positive terminal carries the excess change and the flow is from positive to negative (this view is solely based on historical usage).

You are correct that electron flow is from negative to positive.

Unless you have any reason to fight the archaic engineering view it is safer to use the current flow means positive to negative.
