Steve - I have a question if you don't mind. I can see that you are using non-confirmation across indices to alert you to an opportunity. What I don't fully understand is how you ascertain which index is leading.

 

How do you spot this?

Please explain what each of your dark and light blue areas mean,how they are created and why you trade from them. I can understand N's and roztom's use of MP and could choose to do the same if I wished. But yours I don't understand, please make it clear. Thank you.

ISM Man release is at 10am today following ADP(non-farm payrolls proxy-although taken with a pince of salt by most) earlier which disappointed slightly. We have NFP to look forward to for Friday. Although there's a clear possibility for a test to top end of the recent balance, there's also a chance that we continue to balance until either closer to or after NFP. Here's a chart to look at anyway.

9:11:57 cst.. If any of you are watching MP VOlume Profiles you will see a "current" Low Volume area @ 1321.50.. This is a support area for rotation and also for taking a position...

 

Just FYi.. if the market comes back and volume expands there then the buying activity is no longer present...

 

These are not cast in stone - in fact they are dynamic. I look at them as they develop and they also have more meaning as more trade develops and they hold... The 1321.50 has the "potential" to become the bottom of a balance area... IMHO...

 

I am not suggesting anyone take action there..it needs to be confirmed with other tools and you must be nimble if the market comes back and accepts that area...

 

Hope this is helpful.. again just the way I personally read it... Others may see it differently..

 

Regards,

 

Tom

 

UPDATE 934:01cst.. We just ticked it so now we will see if the buyers are still active there...

whats your stop and target tom?

 

This is only a reference point for the read of the Profile.. I am long from further down.. I am targeting 29.75 area and potentially 33.00 ish as previously posted.. I will take some scales along the way if we get to my short term targets...

 

Remeber, these are never recommendations, etc... I just want to help with the read of the profile.. If you look at the Profile currently you will see @ 9:37cst that it is trying to balance in that area of 1321.50 ..that is all I am saying...

 

If we take that out then have to look at the next areas below..

 

Best,

 

Tom

DVPOC..Currently the VPOC @ 1319.25... We are currently balancing in this upper distribution area... if it holds (?) we could see a DVPOC shift 1322.25 the current developing interday HVN..that will be VERY important if it happens...When that happens IMHO it indicates either the buyers were being absorbed by sellers or the sellers were being absorbed by buyers... It either will shut off buying and create further downside rotation or accelerate the upside...

 

Regards,

 

Tom

Despite the fact that 19.50(-20.25) was taken out, the profile is starting to become a little top heavy(VPOC shifted). Also the first area between 24.25-25.25 I have is very close and yet there's been no real hunger to test it. Not saying it'll will do this or it won't do that, just noting information...

I have a scale sitting up in the 25.00 area... we are thrashing a bit here...

Yesterday, after the move lower we stayed in a 3pt range for around an hour before moving on.

 

I always find the half hours interesting.. Today, so far we tested the IBH in G period - next? H... either will rotate further down or accelerate... that\ part is obvious but the clock ties in.. just an observation..

 

To clarify I am referring to more activity which can create Range Expansion - of course it doesn't have to...

Some resistence: BTW: There is a SIngle @ 1324.25..these can act as barriers, of course and the market may rotate off those. Some traders fade or scale against those...

      Trading with Power Trades tool on ES and NQ futures
      By Quantower
      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

      Volume profile analysis of SPY for 2019
      By makuchaku
      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?
