The main goal of this thread is to show what Power Trades is and how it works in different markets. We will show some patterns on the ES and NQ futures, as well as discuss possible improvements to this functionality.
What is Power Trades?
Ok, first we will consider what the Power Trades is and how it finds zones.
Power Trades shows the zones with the execution of a large number of orders in a very short time, which will affect the price change with a high probability.
Here are a few examples of how it looks like
How it finds zones?
There is a continuous process of placing, changing and executing orders in the market. All this affects the price change and the expectations of traders regarding the future price.
When a large order appears at a certain level, the price is more likely to come to this order and it will be executed because the market is always looking for levels with liquidity. This already applies to the order flow and the mechanics of orders matching, so we will omit the principles on which the orders are matched.
It is only important to understand that "abnormal events" occur in the market at certain times. Execution of a significant volume of orders in a very short time is one of such events.
The Power Trades Scanner has several important settings that directly affect the results:
Total Volume — the minimum value of the volume that should be traded during the specified time interval
Time Interval, sec — the time over which the Total Volume should be traded
Basis Volume Interval, sec — this parameter shows how much % took the traded volume in the total volume for the specified time.
Zone Height, ticks — this parameter will show only those zones where the height is less than or equal to the specified value (in ticks).
Level2 level count — the number of levels that are involved in the calculation of Imbalance and the Level 2 Ratio column in the table of results.
Filter by Delta,% — the parameter will show zones that have a delta value greater than or equal to that specified in the setting. The value must be specified by the module, so the table will show both positive and negative delta values. We recommend paying attention to the zones with the delta above 50% (taking into account the specifics of each trading instrument).
For example, let's set the Total Volume of 2000 contracts and Time Interval in 3 seconds on the E-mini SP500 futures. This means that the scan will be based on the available history and will show on the chart only those zones that have such a volume for the specified time.
Additionally, it is worth to set a delta value to filter out the zones with one-side trades. The more delta value, the high probability that the price will reverse.
So, as a starting point about this scanner, I think this information will be enough

Hi everyone,
This is my maiden analysis using volume profile - so please don't hesitate to share your feedback.
As per the attached analysis, I think that SPY is primed for a short - for many reasons
- Multiple strong rejection of long positions exist at Resistance R1 and R2 : seems like sellers defending their positions
- Very strong short volume seen at R2 : further signifying sellers who are ready at that level
However, once the price reaches Support S1, there seems to be a strong buying sentiment which has rejected previous shorts. You can see trading ranges & pullbacks to S1 where buyers and sellers seem to agree on a price range, often leading to a buyer dominance.
What do you think?

Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers. It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster. People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too. Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move. Another story… Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime. It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast. Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle. People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting. Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move. Finally… Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10. It wasn’t regulated—but it worked. No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet. People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential. Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move. The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did. A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet. The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice. Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar. Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC. But in the quiet build-up— before the surface breaks.

What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day. Here’s a quick rundown: Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over. Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone. DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations. Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them. Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.” You don’t need to be “important” to be a target. You just need to be online. What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy. You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit. Here’s how: Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies. Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name. Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them. Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage. Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN. Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation. Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.) I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos. The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning. Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here. And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router. Don’t panic. Prepare. And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi. As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.
