    EURO – Deadline ⛱

    The March contract will lose its liquidity by the end of the week and become history. In fact, it is possible to summarise the results, plus it is doubly enjoyable to do so for the March contract. Why? The end of this contract means that spring is just outside the window. Slide#1 – indicators, bar charts and data types are marked on it as well as the volume core of the contract and the second most important range. Also take note of the VWAP price and that the current contract remains within the 2 deviation. Open interest is already signalling that participants are dumping their positions and have started to open them on…

    Standard and Poor’s 500

    ES Period: 15/12/2022 – 16/02/2023 TF: Day Chart: Volume Profile Add: Indicator VWAP + dev1/dev-1 Add: OI indicator Total Histogram: Volume Delta I made my first trades on an e-mini S&P 500 futures contract. Even though it was a long time ago, even now I remember the emotion I felt at the time. The volatility of the index in 2007 was quite different. If you could take a trade with an open-close price difference of 5 dollars – it was like winning the lottery. I can’t remember whose words, but the phrase is “The most valuable thing we have are our memories”. Let’s move on to a review of the S&P 500…

    CL TF: Day Chart: market profile – range day – open/close Indicator VWAP + dev1/dev-1 Total Histogram (price/tf) Volume/Delta The specification and volatility of the CL futures contract is what led me to speculate on black gold. I won’t be trading CL this week and there are several reasons for that. Volatility is probably the most important thing about CL. Making good profits without waiting days for the required target is what’s stopping me from leaving the oil trading clan. The VWAP channel is already pointing to a narrowing of volatility and for good reason. This week is a holiday in the USA, Saudi Arabia and towards the end of…

    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. If we look at the total volume and the imbalance of each day of the last month, we can conclude that there is still room for a new high. In addition, the barometer of German economy is holding the price on the highs with a great deal of…

    CL – continuation

    ​ The price of a barrel of oil is influenced by a huge number of factors. With the development of technology, people have adapted to take into account almost all of the available ones, except force majeure and human factors. On the second slide is a map of levels and volume profile bars for the daily timeframe. In the last review I described a scenario which is now fully worked out and the price of black gold has reached its target. The EU leaders’ summit and the decisions made could end up having a big impact on the trend. This is one of the reasons that makes oil traders slow down at…

    CL – Day timeframe: res/sup

    Every speculator’s strategy is the same – “Buy low, sell high”. A barrel of oil was $10 cheaper – a great opportunity for speculation. 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…

    EURO – iceberg order

    A few days ago (31.01) after the opening of the European stock markets, at the local low, there was a level where the big guys were trading with Iceberg-orders. I immediately used this opportunity to make a buy trade, which is still accompanying at the moment. Tick Chart level 1.084 Note the ticks at this price. The imbalance filter is highlighted in green and the values in these ticks are total volume. And the buyer/seller delta in each tick is on the buyer’s side. A large order – sell limit was already seen at 02:40. It’s not hard to spot – look closely, the buyers couldn’t even push the price…

    You have the e-mini S&P500 in front of you and 2 scalping sell trades.

    CL – support & resistance [feb23]

      Back in early December, the upper bound was set at $80 per barrel of black gold. Oil traders have repeatedly attacked the level, but until now they have failed to extend the range higher. On the slide above: CL [Feb 23]. Tf: Day. Chart: Double Cluster [volume/delta]. Total Hist.: Delta. Note the repeat of the 7 day uptrend and the return to the same prices in 2022. Such repetitions in the stock market are no coincidence. And there are plenty of companies interested in a price hike by the states that produce and sell oil. Today is the 7th day of an uptrend and this will affect buyer confidence and activity. It is…
