    Order Book, Level I and II Market Data

    DAX index – YTD

      DAX Index – volume analysis 15.02.2022 to the current day. I am now considering this particular futures contract as there is a possibility that the index is preparing to make a new high. Why not use such an opportunity. On slide №1 – the index quote has not only returned to its yearly highs, but is successfully expanding the range further.

From Monday to Friday, session after session the price fell, keeping its rhythm 2 productive days, then unloading and again. Let’s analyze the delta trend from January 23 to February 3 (lower histogram shows the total delta and % of imbalance for the day]. On the 23rd of January the volume activity of the sellers exceeded the activity of the buyers by 2500 contracts. 2-2.5k and the total imbalance by delta, I mean timeframe of the day, is sufficient to maintain a unidirectional trend. Also note…
