Std deviation on vwap.... just with vwap and poc (and maybe daily pivot) swing trading is doable... the challenge is to match the scale with the account capacity to not over/under exposure to the market volatility.

Such levels are nicely respected when the market is not too chaotic

Muchas gracias. Never looked at that side of it, but I guess it's whatever helps one contextualise what's going on.

right... that is why I am requesting someone to build this 123 and 2b visual indicator... more confluence, more moves to capture with high winrate and bigger RR :-

If you see es in a 123 pattern and nq in 2b pattern why do you need an indicator. There is a HHHL LLLH indicator to spot them

with 2 or 3 (if we want to include YM) we need signal/study to analyze if there is an added benefit

Volume has its place in trading futures. Below is one of the charts I look at for NQ. It has two indicators on it. VWAP with standard deviation bands and order flow volume profile. The yellow line at the bottom of the screen that price just reacted to is yesterdays POC (Point of Control) it is the price that had the highest volume yesterday. The two blue horizontal lines are todays value area where 68% of all of the volume for today resides. The yellow line in between is todays current POC. The multi colored lines on the left are the volume profile...
thanks for sharing magnum. Curious what are your Std deviation band settings and what timeframe chart you got there ? I have noticed yesterday and today's vwap are respected quite often (even in spot fx but only for majors). Would you consider POC for volume to be similar to a daily pivot for price? I wonder how a dynamic fib between POC and VWAP would look like (dang, wearing my quant hat again which I am really trying to avoid at this stage)

Thanks angus. So there are MMs in futures also who could take the opposite side of our trade and manipulate price to their advantage. It seems these guys are more like LQs (comparing with spot fx) who play their own tricks with price feeds. Perhaps more regulated so not as big a concern. but then you just never know :-

The indicator lists the band parameters as "Standard Deviation Multipliers". They are set for 1, 2, 3 which is the default value. Not 100% sure how it does the calculations.

I usually keep the chart with VWAP and volume profile set on 5 minute. Mostly because it gives me a full view of today and part of the previous day. Since both are volume based calculations regardless of the time you have it set for the values will be the same.

I am a big fan of tick based charts but they have one serious drawback. Candles close at different times. When things are slow candle times are long but when things pick up they can get very short. In particular the biggest headache is when there are big orders coming through and you get 5-10 candles almost instantly. So, I now keep both on my screens. Tick based and time based. When things get going fast (i.e. market open) I focus on the time based charts. Early morning, like now, I look at tick based.

I tried the profile indicator on Sierra and these red circled "low volume" price levels are often revisited to "fill the hole". HAve you also noticed this? I am not sure what the technical term is for these red lined zones lol
