Core Methodology
In performing our analyses and making trading decisions, our research utilizes volumeatprice information and the concepts of Auction Market Theory. Volumeatprice is valuable tool similar in some ways to Market Profile, which utilizes timeatprice. Volumeatprice is displayed as a histogram along the price (vertical) scale and builds across the chart as traded volume occurs at each price. This view is sometimes referred to as a volume profile or VAP (volumeat-price) profile. Volumeatprice analysis provides valuable information about what prices have seen the heaviest institutional interest and can give insight into where the smart money is accumulating and distributing. While traditional indicators are often simply derivations of price information, volumeatprice provides unique additional information that is not available to traders only using traditional technical analysis methods.

By applying volume profiles to specific areas of the chart, information can be drawn out of the price action identifying areas of support and resistance as well as trend information. We refer to the areas of heaviest volume within the volume profile histogram as highvolume areas, or HVAs. The location of HVAs and the price action around them are determinants in forming trade setups and determining expectations and the probabilities of subsequent price action.
Volumeatprice analysis is applicable and useful at all degrees of scale, from weekly charts to 1minute charts and everything in between. Performing this type of analysis in multiple timeframes allows us to integrate the broad view of what the market is doing with the immediate movements at a more granular level. This allows us to take positions that not only have favorable odds of success but that also have very favorable risk/reward metrics. In performing our analyses for our published reports as well as for our trading calls, we focus only on opportunities that have a minimum expected reward/risk ratio of 2to1 or better.
