@ProbablyRand0m Volume Footprint ToolkitMicro E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average Index FuturesCBOT_MINI:MYM1!ProbablyRandomVolume Footprint provides traders with real-time visualisation of actual market context and directional that is impossible to comprehend with Candle or Line charts alone. Volume data (also known as the tape or orderbook), is a live record of all buys and sells taking place at every level of price. Volume data via traditional tools such as the tape or orderbook can be challenging to leverage in real time due to the vast amount of information involved and the rapid pace at which that data is constantly evolving. This is where Volume Footprint charts step in to facilitate a clear and concise visualisation of underlying market activity. Volume footprint charts are essentially an XRAY of what is happening with price in real-time. Focusing on Candle charts alone can lead one to the assumption that a bullish candle (OLHC) is likely to take price higher and this is crucially not always the case. This is especially evident when smart money/institutional players are loading up large positions on one side of the market, before running price promptly in the opposing direction (triggering offside stop losses for which smart money players leverage to reduce the overall size of very large positions). Volume footprint charts provide a priceless real-time visualisation of institutional actor activity, helping regular traders ensure they are not entering too early before the real move, are onside with actual directional intent (bias) aligned with the big market players. The Volume Footprint Toolkit provides. - Volume data (volume spikes provide insight to when smart money is engaged with an asset) - Volume Delta candles (where green candles clarify more buys than sells, rather than simply confirming price closed higher than it opened for that period) - Cumulative Volume Data information (factual bias based upon actual number of buys and sells taking place thus reducing our cognitive emotional trading biases that often lead us to be offside and getting stopped out) - Stacked Imbalances (these occur when there is a large gap between underlying buys/sells clarifying institutional activity/smart money reversals and providing support & resistance levels that help quantify the correct direction of price plus when to enter or exit positions) Please don’t take my word for this, get into the charts and see for yourself how this helps take your trading to the next level with confidence and precision that is simply not possible with Candle or Line charts in isolation.
