Repair - Trading Glossary

Repair is a process in which the market will revisit an area on a profile which lacks symmetry. It is not uncommon to see the market “clean” these areas up. Most times we refer to this process as filling low volume or time areas with volume and time.

Another version of repair is to fill the "empthy" levels (0x0 auctions) of the Footprint once the market sold off or surged higher quickly. Also empty gaps in the lower timeframes after a flash move tend ot be revisted and repaired/filled.

As a follow-up from the previous post and the support around the previous VAL close level the market was able to find resistance around the developing VWAP + previous VWAP close level and established a pattern around these levels to get into a short trade. We can use the VWAP and the developing value as a trend-following tool in such a scenario currently.

Next possible area of support would be a prior value close area of the weekly VWAP perspective. Let's see where the market heading towards to.

The market opened below value but surged into the previous value close area followed by a pullback to the developing VWAP with support but found resistance at the DVAH. This pushed the market back to the previous day's VAL close level with current support. Looking at the current structure we can observe a flat slope and a rotational behavior. Resistance around the developing VWAP or DVAH are probable. A rotational destination move to the other side of extreme, in this case the previous day's VAH close level is probable as well. Waiting for some pattern to conclude the next trading scenario.

TPO Analysis on ES - Double Distribution

Looking at the daily TPO on the E-mini S&P 500 we can observe a double distribution profile with an open inside of value in the lower distribution. The market found support at the excess low and surged to the higher extreme of the mentioned distribution. To be noted is the current unsecured swing high which could be revisted.

There are three possible scenarios - a rotational behavior inside of the distribution - a break higher to fill the low volume area - and a break lower to continue the sell off movement. Volume based we can identify a b-shaped profile which should be handled as a bullish pattern but we opened inside of value, therefore its better to see how the market will react around the balance/distribution extremes.

Excess - Trading Glossary

Excess indicates the end of one auction and the start of a new auction. It is visible through buy-ing and selling tails (single TPO prints). Excess occurs in all timeframes; it completes an auction. There are always multiple two-way auctions at work; one could be completed while another is still active. As was previously mentioned, balance and excess are the two most important concepts you will be introduced to because they show change or the possibility for change to take place.
