Hello everybody,

first to my person: i started with Macks PATīs, bought the manual and used a lot of time to read it, watch his videos and simtrade. I started to go live to, but after around 30 trades my account was back at breakeven.

Next i began to inform myself with free ressources about footprint / volumetric charts. This contained stacked imbalances, unfinished auctions, p / b patterns and delta divergences.

I also started coding in ninjascript and backtested different price action strategies alone and combined with footprint concepts ( footprint concepts alone too). I am still unsure how to use the "footprint concepts" right.

I know why this concepts theoretically work, but my original plan to develop a price action strategy, fine tuned with footprint entrys / exits didnīt work. It seemed like i donīt use footprint properly, the results havenīt improved appreciable.

Are there advanced books, courses.. for this topic existing you can recommend?
What are your experiences with footprint chart trading? If you trade, are you profitable? How do you learned about that topic?

Would be curious to know how you managed to test some price action strategies given most of them rely so much on the user discretion and the developing context. Anyway, in my mind one of the best webinar on order flow was presented by gomi on Futures.io:

Also, if you do this search on Google you'll get some good contents:
site:NexusFi +Silvester17 +footprint

redundant post...
concur with the above post.

This site provides a good intro to the footprint chart (have no affiliation with it just found it using Google):

https://www.jumpstarttrading.com/footprint-chart/

Thank you for the video! Iīll watch it later.

To clarify the part with a price action strategy: I was not able to create a profitable system. I tried to detect Trading ranges (s / r Levels multiple Tops / Bottom + fitting candlestick patterns) or to detect trends with onelegged / twolegged Pullbacks at EMA 21.

This basically worked, the problem was there is always a bigger picture of the price action. And to be honest if i am on my own not a profitable trader, how shall i code a program what is profitable?
It was more about trial and error.


And i have to smile, the free content of jumpstarttrading was my main source for orderflow. They have a good explaining article about footprints on ther website.

I wanted to open a new trade in the vendor section, if anybody has experience with their orderflowpro. I am not sure if the pro program is recommendable.
Unfortunately i need 10 posts on NexusFi before iīm allowed to do so.

Great post!

Great post!

Moderator Notice @TraderAnna, I have seen your post on TopStep in the review section, and I understand why you wanted to get your post count up to the level that would let you post a review, but we have a forum policy against junk posts to boost post count, and this post definitely was made only for that purpose and definitely qualifies as a junk post. Just saying "Great post" is not adding anything serious, and you clearly just wanted to get your tenth post. I am not going to delete this post, nor to ban you, even though that is our usual response to someone who is playing with the rules this way. Most of your other posts had some substance to them, and your post on TopStep addresses a real issue, no matter who is right or wrong on it. But please do not play around with our rules again. If your purpose had not been basically serious, you would have been banned. There is a reason for requiring someone to show some seriousness before letting them post vendor reviews, because a review can affect the vendor and the NexusFi community, and we take this seriously. Thanks. Bob.

I have to agree, an excellent webinar by @gomi. but not only the webinar, also his tools are top notch:




btw, I also pay attention to those b and p shaped profiles. especially if we have a p shaped profile (bearish) with a lot of buying at the top of the candle (buy imbalance). or a lot of selling with a b shaped profile (bullish). those are divergences worth looking at imho

here's a good example what I like to see:

- bullish delta divergence
- bullish cd divergence



and also the earlier mentioned -b- shaped volume profile:




it would have been even more powerful with a sell imbalance at the bottom. but still a pretty good opportunity for a counter trend (reversal)

Good Question I'll follow this thread.
