Trading the ES today I witnessed 4 rapid ACV shifts to the ratio of 2:1 or greater. I took my delta divergence/shift signals as these flips were in affect (all 4 times), and all 4 trades had movements of at least 2 points with the initial move prior to any minor pullback. Thanks VSTscalper for starting this great thread!
ES session with ACV, at bid/at ask delta, MP levels, pivots, developing value area and VWAP (black plot - INWV). 5000 contracts per bar.
I wish you would listen to your own advice and do the same! T28SL If you have a problem with him: click ignore, should not be that dificult even for you should it????

It is very interesting idea to display DOM as stalactites. Besides tradestation what other platforms have this feature?
Jack, Thanks a lot for your great posts. I hope you do not pay any attention to a few trolls on this thread. You said that we need few platforms in order to have the full picture in currently available tech environment. Do you mind listing them and which features they can be best used for. Regards, redduke

Standard ButtonTrader has it pretty good. Unfortunately, they smear things by plotting right over the "wall" that you are monitoring for. Additionally, you have to reinterpret T&S by being calibrated to the size of the bar plot... As usual, no program is perfect... MAK
dcraig, Thanks for helping this thread get back on topic. ---------------------------- For those traders who have downloaded....the ACV file on the first page of this Thread....you will see the Picture....where Price goes into a Range Condition....or "Price Consolidation". Tomorrow....after the market closes....I will be doing a Webinar....a two part series....the first Webinar is about....Indentifying a Range Condition....the second Webinar will be about....How I Trade a Range Condition. Basically....I Identify the start and end of a Range Condition....on my Trend chart....and once I Declare that Price has gone into a Range....I need to wait for the True Break Out....before thinking about doing another Trend trade. While Price is in the Range Box....I have Specific Rules that tell me the Difference between a Fake Out or Sucker trade....and the True Break Out of the Range. If the Range is Large enough....meaning there are plenty of Ticks available for Scalping....I will then Scalp the Range....until the True Break Out. I use the ACV....to help Identify when Price is going into a Range....and Breaking Out of the Range. So the ACV and Range Conditions go together. Using the ACV to Scalp....when Price is in a Range....is one of my favorite ways to trade. I used to Burn myself on a regular basis....trying to figure out whether Price was Breaking Out or if it was just a Sucker trade. Most of the time....I was the Sucker....got Stopped Out a lot. This still happens to me once in awhile....but not very often. I will not be talking much about the ACV....as the Webinar will be 45 minutes to one hour. Just take another look at the ACV pictures....you will see what I am talking about. The Webinar will show how I use Specific Rules....to take a Disciplined approach to trading a Range....and for trading in general. If you want to attend....just send me a PM....and I will direct you on what to do. Hopefully....this will help some of you. Just so you know....this is not perfect....but it works for me....most of the time. Good trading to all. VSTscalper
I would like to thank all those traders who came to the Webinar on January 23rd. The 2nd of this two part series will be on January 30th....after the market closes....at 4:30 Eastern time. The 1st part was about....Identifying Range Conditions on my Trend chart and the 2nd part will be about....Trading Range Conditions. Basically....once Price Consolidates or goes into a Range....I switch over to my Scalping chart and trade within the Range....providing there are enough Ticks available....from Top to Bottom of the Range. While I trade the ER most of the time....this should work for just about any market. While I trade Tick charts only....to Identify and Trading Range Conditions....this can also be done on Minute or Volume type charts as well. This is my Method....which works for me....hopefully this can work for other traders as well. I find Scalp trades....within a Range....to have a very high success rate....one of my favorite Scalping set-ups. If you sent me a PM for the 1st Webinar....you don't need to send me another PM....just go back to the website....to Register again....if required. If you missed the first Webinar....send me a PM....if you want to attend the 2nd Webinar....and I will tell you where you go to Register. I use the ACV....to help tell me when Price is going into a Range....and for the True Break Out of the Range. Once Price goes into a Range....I stay in Scalping mode only....until the True Break Out....then I make a decision....whether to Trend trade or stay in Scalping mode....a lot depends on the ACV. Good trading to all. VSTscalper
