What is a Volume Stop Signal? #

The daily trading volume of a Future, Stock, or Crypto varies from one day to the other mainly because of the number of buyers and sellers in the market for that particular instrument.

In general, transactions between buyers and sellers move the price up or down:

  • The price will increase if traders buy more than someone else is willing to sell (Lifting the Offer).
  • The price will decrease if traders sell more than someone else is willing to buy (Hitting the Bid).

TTW Market Volume Stop shows when one side, buyers or sellers, transact heavily and above the average market volume.

This sudden increase in trading volume is essential for a trader to take advantage of while making trading decisions. There are good reasons if you would like to put a probability on your side.

Knowing the existence of a high accumulated volume is not good enough, but knowing the likelihood of the hidden actions of those who initiate high-volume spikes is crucial.

How does a Market Volume Stop or Accumulation work? #

TTW-TradeFinder reliably depicts market volume accumulation by measuring specific behaviors between buyers and sellers of current market or aggressor volume. The market volume stop signal indicates a pattern of high imbalance between transacted market buys and sells.

The market volume stop signal indicates a pattern of high imbalance between transacted market buys and sells.

Example image

In a strong trend, the market volume constantly produces volume spikes.

MVS with Pullbacks

We have introduced the Pullback Time and the Pullback Price Change to reduce false positive signals in a trend.

MVS Settings

The pullback algorithm aims to reduce false positive Market Volume Stop Signals.

Definition #

If consecutive MV Stop signals happen within a specified time, and if the price moves less than a specified number of ticks in the market direction (trend), additional MV Stop signals will be suppressed.

How to trade a Market Volume Stop? #

Market stops are signs of high market volume transactions and imbalance in one direction.

The consequence can be exhaustion. Exhaustion is always a lack of further trading activity because buyers or sellers dry up.

Exhaustion is why Market Volume Stops giving us good trading opportunities.

At the price area of a Market Volume Stop event, the market volume dries up because no more sellers or buyers join the market at that moment in time.

Following trading opportunities can be taken based on the market context:

  1. The aggressive trader will enter a trade immediately in the opposite price direction.
  2. The conservative trader will wait until the market retests the volume stop price (double top, double bottom) and then enter the opposite price direction.
  3. The technical trader will draw a line or rectangle around the Market Volume Stop signal, wait until the price confirms the expected direction, and then trade in the opposite price direction.

Confluence (only with MbO data) #

The highest trading chances a trader will get are when the market data gives more than one signal at a price level:

  • Market Volume Stop
  • Native Stop Run
  • Single Native Stop Run Sweep (blue-colored sweep)
  • Dynamic Iceberg Development (DID)
  • Buy or Sell Icebergs
  • Interesting market levels

These events focused on one price level are the highest possible trading opportunities. This is the Royal Flush, so to speak, in poker jargon.

Confluences indicates high probability trading chances


TTW-TradeFinder Market Volume Stop Settings #

Based on a user-defined, asset-specific volume threshold, the Market Volume Stop signal is triggered when (1) traded volume exceeds the defined threshold level and (2) the formula’s parameters are met. Important: The Market Volume Stop will work for all markets: Futures, Stocks, and Cryptos.
MbO data is not needed!

Example #

ES With Rithmic data feed

Different Market Volume Stop signals at different prices. ES for dxFeed.

Why 2 Signal Levels? #

Signal Level settings

The reason for selecting two signal levels are

  • Differentiate between the Pre-Session (ETH) and Main-Session (RTH).
  • Selecting lower swings (example above signal 1 = 500).
  • Selecting higher swings (example above signal 2 = 1000).
  • Eliminating false positive signals by selecting high-volume areas only. (1000 / 2000)

The volume below the signal level threshold is ignored

Market Volume Stop Signal allows the analysis of a high market volume for every available instrument. MbO data is not required.

Settings #

Market Volume Stop settings

Enable / Disable
Enable or disable the Market Volume Stop signal Level 1 and Level2 on the chart by clicking the “Enable” checkbox.

Signal Level 1
A minimum level 1 of volume must be triggered to display a signal. After the trigger volume is reached and there is a 10% return under the triggered volume, the signal is immediately displayed.

Signal Level 2
A minimum level 2 of volume must be triggered to display a signal. After the trigger volume is reached and there is a 10% return under the triggered volume, the signal is immediately displayed.

Pullback Duration in minutes and Pullback Price Change in ticks
The new Market Volume Stop settings “Pullback Duration” and “Pullback Price Change” help you find better tradable price level signals by reducing Market Volume Stop signals during strong market trends. Having adjusted the settings to your instrument, you will see fewer but more reliable swing high and swing low-volume stop signals.
If the price moves less than “Pullback Price Change” ticks in the right direction since the last signal, MVS signals will be paused for “Pullback Duration” minutes.

Example: A pullback duration of 2 minutes and a pullback price change of 20 ticks means TradeFinder MVS won’t look for new swings for 2 minutes if the price moves less than 20 ticks (or 5 points in ES) in the right direction since the last signal.
