I have been researching about MarketDelta as a potential tool to add for my trade timing. I keep reading about how great and helpful it is to know the real volume data in the futures market.
However, what turning me off is that NONE of those who claim success using MarketDelta volume data with their trading has ever posted his results!
As a rule of thumb for me, I do not believe anyone unless proof is presented, especially when it comes vendors and commercial trading tools.
I would love to hear about your experience and if you can point me in the right direction
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I use an essentially identical tool in another software package, and several different programs out there have similar tools.
I'll try to save you some time -- you are going about it in a way that leads nowhere. You are looking at a tool, wanting validation from an external source that it "works," and then you want to try it. What matters is whether it is helpful to you, and whether it's logical to use. If it makes sense, and is helpful, then use it, and see what results YOU get. Forget others and their results, they lead nowhere. Good luck!
I felt that we needed a thread dedicated to the discussion of Volume Profile.
Some basics, you can hover over these and click on most of them to get more info in the wiki. I also encourage you guys to improve the wiki articles by editing …
If you are going to try every trading tool out there, test and study, you would end up spending the next decades studying without arriving anywhere.
I really think its important to see at least one success story with a tool before dedicating your time to studying it and deciding if its for you or not, since 99% of what is being offered is a total wast of time (and money)
I currently on a free trial with MarketDelta, I can say that this requires a lot more time to study than I have imagined. The question is: will it be worth the time?
Are you having success trading the similar tool you have mentioned? how long have you been trading?
The FP chart works well, whether it is from MD or anyone else, I don't think really makes that much of a difference (although I am partial to the graphics and clarity of MD).
I think the key is having an idea of when, where and how you will use that data before getting into it. So if someone is currently trading with some sort of method, where will this extra data in the form of the footprint makes things better?
As mentioned in this thread the FP chart can be just another tool or piece of eye candy.
