#1 Volume Color Can Create a False Illusion

At first look, it looks like a big volume spike.

But if you notice the price candle, it has a big selling wick.

It indicates "SELLING PRESSURE" is high at that time. Volume spike false impression
We can easily avoid this false impression using the "BLACK" color code across all the volume bars.

Now your mind doesn't assume it is a bullish volume spike!

(If you don't want to use the black color, then view the chart without getting any bias based on the volume color) Volume color code plays a c...
#2 Analyze Each Volume Spike Carefully

In this image, the price is breaking the resistance trendline.

How do you say whether it is a genuine breakout or false breakout (from a volume perspective)? Real Breakout vs. False Bre...
Observe the major Volume Spikes.

A is Bullish (Price moved upside on the next day)

B is Bearish (Price fell on the next day)

C is Bearish (Price moved sideways and fell)

D is Bearish (Price fell on the next day)

So High Probability of FALSE BREAKOUT! How to identify Breakout an...
This is the Result! False Breakout Example
One More Example.

How to know whether the price takes support at this trend line and bounces back?

I know price action traders can say it by observing the price itself. But it is better to get double confirmation from "volume." Support Trend line Usuage
Let's check the major volume spikes.

'A' is Bearish (the price fell on the next day and also a big selling wick on the next day candle)

'B' is Bullish (as the price moved up on the next day) Image
'C' is Bearish (C candle itself has a selling wick & price didn't move upside on the next day)

'D' is either Neutral or Bearish (price didn't move up on the next day and also has a selling wick)

'E' is Bearish

So there is a high probability of BREAKING THE SUPPORT! Volume Spikes Analysis
Below is the result!

Still, this is not 100% perfect as we don't analyze all the volume bars.

But it is far better than traditional volume analysis. Image
#3 Don't Depend Much on Volume in Lower Timeframes

Below is Banknifty Futures 3-min Chart on 4/08/2022

It appears like the Bears were in control earlier, and now the market is ready to fall further.

Isn't it? Banknifty 3 min chart for B...
But have a look at the same chart on 15-min Timeframe.

Do you realize you were ready to short at the bottom of the swing?

Also, check how the volume color created an impression in your mind. Lower timeframe vs. HIgher ...
#4 Use 'Volume Profile' or 'Order Flow' in lower timeframes

Volume Profile displays the volume details in different price levels.

It means the VP shows volume details from a price perspective.

Hence it is for a trader to identify where the largest trading has occurred.
# Volume Profile

Observe the Nifty chart on the 11th & 12th of August

The highest volume came at 17705

So, on the next trading day, this level automatically acts as 'support' or 'resistance.'

Bcz many people jump to take a trade when the price reaches this level. Volume Profile Usage
# Order Flow

Order flow is a footprint chart showing only the real-time market order executed trades to study the momentum and strength of the aggressive buyers and aggressive sellers. Image
If the market buy order is hit, then the OFA is printed on the buy side where the seller had a limit order, and if the market sell order is hit, then the OFA is printed on the sell side where the buyer had a limit order.
A limit order during its execution will get converted into a market order when the price reaches the limit level.
For example, if the price of a Stock is 1000, if you keep a Limit Sell order at 1005 when the price reaches 1005, then this limit order will be converted into a market order, and it will be released into the system

An order flow chart will include all the executed market orders
Useful Terms in Order Flow:

Ask – It is the total ‘Ask’ quantity for the selected time across the price range

Bid – It is the total ‘Bid’ quantity executed at market rates for the selected time across the price range
Delta - It is the net difference between the Ask and Bid in that respective time window

Cumulative Delta – the ‘Delta’ of every selected timeframe is added to the current window, and it will be displayed. It is the total volume of market orders traded till that time. Orderflow Chart
Successful traders use:

'Volume Profile' to know the important price levels

'Order Flow' to get the confirmation of reversal on those price levels
This is just a basic introduction to 'Volume Profile' and 'Order Flow'.

One has to study in-depth to use them effectively.

I was at a coffee meeting with 5 close friends last week.

One person was on a strict diet, and I was curious to see how she would react at the table (as she can't deny coffee with close friends).

"You guys order; I will take a sip from each cup,"

she said.
I was surprised and also happy about her smart move!

We may not realize many things, but our actions say much more about us than our words!

Here are 7 triggers to manage Trading Psychology!

You take a LONG trade at open

Price moved upside, & you made some profits

After some time, the price started to come down

Now you don't know whether it is a TEMPORARY PULLBACK or a COMPLETE REVERSAL

5 Effective Ways to Know about it!

(1/N)

Thread 🧵🧵

#trading #StockMarket Image
#1 Look at Open Action

Open action (9.15-9.45) plays a crucial role in the day.

The presence of strong buyers indicates it is just a pullback.

The absence of strong buyers indicates a high possibility of reversal!

(2/N) ImageImage
#2 Look at the Last 2 Days' Price Action

The last 2-3 days' market sentiment plays a crucial role in the current day.

If it is positive, then there is a high possibility that the price is just showing a temporary pullback (and not a complete reversal).
