Introduction to imbalance charts (orderflow trading):

A ЁЯз╡

(1/n)

Orderflow charts essentially show the real time buying and selling happening in the markets.

In below chart, you can see how market sell orders are shown to the bid side and market buy orders are shown to the ask side.

(2/n)
Using this, one can identify big buying and selling happening at various prices.

Imbalance charts takes this one step forward. How so? Read on to find out.

(3/n)
Imbalance charts shows buying and selling imbalances at various price points. How does it matter?

Imbalance here implies to what extent is buying more than selling and vice versa.

(4/n)
Why is that important? As a trader, if we know that buying at a particular level is x times more than selling or vice versa, it would help us understand the strength of supply or demand coming into the market.

(5/n)
Imbalance charts highlights (as per user pref), those prices where imbalances happen in live markets

If bid side imbalance is highlighted, it means selling is x times more than buying and if ask side imbalance is highlighted, it means buying is x times more than selling

(6/n)
In below chart, orange blocks are where selling is 3 times more than buying (see arrow).

(7/n)
The default setting in most imbalance charts is 300%. It means, if buying or selling at a price zone is 3 times more than the other, chart shows it.

(8/n)
Now, is one imbalance important or more imbalances mean something else?

If we are seeing buying or selling pressure at one point, we would like to see it continue for trend confirmation.

(9/n)
Now, this brings us to stacked imbalances. If 3 imbalances appear back to back on bid or ask side, we can set the chart to highlight it.

This implies a good area of support/resistance on intraday basis.

(10/n)
Chart automatically draws support/resistance if 3 or more imbalances appear consecutively.

(11/n)
Don't you think this kind of info can be used in real time to make trading decisions?

The imp part about using imbalances is to determine the tick size.

(12/n)
Tick size talks about the no of ticks you want to see the orderflow data for. This depends on preference of user.

Based on it, imbalance settings can be customized as per a trader's choice which will help them determine crucial intraday levels.

We had discussed that a "p" shaped profile and close at highs indicates longs are in control of the market.

It also indicates high chances of uptrend continuation next day.

But

(2/n)

How to trade a failure of trend continuation? Yesterday, we saw a "P" shape profile in Nifty and close at highs.

But we failed to continue upmove today.

(3/n)


We opened positive but the opening breakout not sustaining is first cue to understand that bulls are lacking initiative to push prices up further.

(4/n)

For confirmation, one can use orderflow as well to see real time supply demand flowing into the market.

At open today, we saw fresh sellers coming in a bullish opening.

IтАЩm torn on how to approach the idea of luck. IтАЩm the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.


IтАЩve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.

In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the personтАЩs part, whereas тАЬsmartтАЭ luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.

So, was I тАЬluckyтАЭ to be born when I wasтАФnothing I had any control overтАФand that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write тАЬWhat Works on Wall Street?тАЭ Absolutely.

Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.
