Hi all.

I had a question regarding entry signals.
I trade using market profile and key levels.
Now, when price gets to the level I’m watching I usually wait to see the order flow around the level to determine if I think the price is going to break out - or reverse.
Now I’ve always knew about the concept of an entry trigger, and I’ve been trying to build an entry trigger based on market delta, since it’s very hard to spot certain orderflow components in real time.
I would like to know for those who use orderflow/market delta as entry trigger/button, what are you looking to see in order to enter your trade? Is it just delta changing from one color to another? That’s what I used to do untill now as my trigger but I just feel like it’s not a valid enough trigger to rely on.

For those of you who have any experience/expertise in the area, any information would be much appreciated.

Assuming you mean cumulative delta, and not the market delta platform, have you tried looking at it as a divergence indicator.
In the same way one might use RSI, so for instance price pulls back and then moves back up to make a higher high but the CD doesn't, suggesting the move hasn't got strong buying supporting it.
Or conversely price makes a higher high and runs out stops shown by a spike up also in the CD. But price then drops back below the stop run level and buying dries up, suggesting price might go lower for awhile until it can attract more buyers.

Hi @ironyitz,

I am closing this thread as a duplicate.

Even though the other thread you opened on this topic, with the same post, was started a bit later, it will be kept open because it has attracted more responses.

In the future, please don't make identical posts in different threads. Just let any replies go to one, so it doesn't create a duplicate topic, which can confuse others and make the forum less usable. If you decide you should have put the post in a different section, just use the Report Post icon (the octagon with an exclamation point in the upper rught corner of every post), asking it to be moved, and we will fix it.

For anyone looking at this thread, here is the one to use instead:
