Hi, can footprints charts be used for swing trading?

[@iliyakrashkov3710]

Thank you for this great video! I was wondering what is the Study Settings you using in terms "background type " and colouring ( range 1-2-3). I really like your set up but as I am new to Sierra I would really appreciate your comment. Thank you in advance!

[@TradeProAcademy]

Hey Iliya, thanks for your comment! TPA members get access to this exact chartbook available for download so you don't have to spend time trying to build it yourself.

Do you use mt4 for footprint chart if yes do I need to pay?

Which software can give you footprint charts?

[@the_gaming_phoenix8904]

Hello, I just wanted to know how you set up your footprint charts so nicely because I can't seem to figure it out?

[@TradeProAcademy]

Hey Phoenix, it took lots of trial and error to build these charts, but we provide our full Sierra chartbook template as a download for our members so that they can effectively "plug and play". We've got some Sierra Chart tutorials on our channel if you want to learn more!

[@simonhughes9103]

As I understand it, the trapped buyers / sellers thesis depends on whether the trade is being opened or closed. Since if they are closing a position they won't be trapped. How can you know if a trader is opening a position (buying long / selling short) or closing a position (e.g. exercising their stop loss or being liquidated)?

[@TradeProAcademy]

When you are selling near a low and market price reverses higher, whether you sold to exit a long or you sold to open a short, you still lose on the way up - you either lose money or opportunity. This is why it doesn't really matter if it's an opening position or closing, lots of sellers at the lows is bad if price can't continue lower. Hope this helps. Great question.

[@simonhughes9103]

​@@TradeProAcademy Thanks for the response. Although it would be useful to know if they've opened a short position since that would indicate the possibility of a short squeeze if price moves against them. I guess there's no way to be sure.

[@mistersir3185]

This resored my faith in trading. I'm a forex trader. I don't trade futures. Can I use footprint chart for scalping currencies?

[@TradeProAcademy]

Hello, thank you for commenting! You could use them for forex futures, rather than spot. Then trade the SPOT based on what you see on the futures.

[@sonnynguyen1890]

Hello tradepro academy , do you have a course to teach more specific about order flow chart

[@TradeProAcademy]

Hey Sonny, our futures day trading course covers order flow in great detail as that is the basis of the strategy! You learn how to read volume profile, footprint charts, Depth of Market, etc. Hope this helps! Cheers -Mark

@@veronk6135 Hello, thanks for watching! The platform being used is Sierra Chart. Happy Trading!

[@dct2809]

@4:50, you say that left side is bid and right side is ask, (bid is buyers and ask is sellers), then in the follow up part, you say green shown on the right is buyers and red on the left is sellers. Could you explain how this part?

[@TradeProAcademy]

Yessir, the bid limit is a market sell because it takes off the seller to get into the market. Aka hitting the bid is selling. The opposite for buying, hope this helps.

[@dct2809]

@@TradeProAcademy Thank you!

[@bonprez9981]

What software/platform is this?

[@mtintl5817]

Hello I am a broker. Where can I get a footprint trading tool like this?

[@amazing_facts7537]

How do i get the FootPrint chrat

[@TheAscent_]

Something about the way the FootPrint is interpreted is confusing the heck out of me. The first of which is, if we have the BID on the left of the footprint and ASK on the right, what this tells me is that we have buyer pressure on the left and seller pressure on the right, right?. But this ofcourse is not the full story since we have two kinds of buyers and sellers (i.e. Agressive and Passive). This leads me to my next question. According to the logic presented above, I would associate the Passive Buyers with the BID side and the Passive Sellers with the ASK side. Now that leaves the Aggressive traders. Here is where I get lost. Why are we placing aggressive buyers in the ASK slot and the aggressive sellers in the BID slot? This just feels counter-intuitive to me. Aren't we placing the "market participant", in either slot, based on what "he/she" is doing? (i.e. buying or selling regardless of whether it is aggressive or not?) Somone, please clear this up 😭

[@nickk9499]

hi.. what does 5 tick reversal chart mean? I understand 5 tick, but what does reversal mean in this instance?

[@TradeProAcademy]

Hey Nick, the reversal means that once the market rotates 5 ticks from the high or the low a new bar prints! This shows us market rotations more clearly! Cheers- Mark

[@valencia3367]

What platform

[@UnCL0NED]

Thanks for this clear explanation. Is this applicable to the Forex charts? Tnx

[@TradeProAcademy]

Thanks for watching! This is not applicable to spot forex but can be applied on currency futures!

[@UnCL0NED]

@@TradeProAcademy Thought so, tnx! Guess I will be switching to futures soon then. This way of reading the market just makes so much sense. 👍

[@TradeProAcademy]

Come to the dark side.... lol. You have a lot more transparency and as a result higher probabilities of spotting trends as you see orders flowing through the markets. Would love to hear your journey as you make the switch. I appreciate you. - George

[@UnCL0NED]

@@TradeProAcademy 😂👍 "Obi One has taught you well" I checked out your site and I see you have a course on futures day trading (under the Pro Trader subscription). Is that something I can dive straight into, having already some experience with forex? Or do I need to read up on some other stuff first? Thanks for being so genuinely engaged...

[@TradeProAcademy]

@@UnCL0NED hello, hope you're having a great day. You can start with the Futures Day Trading course right away, and I think you'll be okay. If you find you need a little primer before continuing, we also have a Foundations Course which is included in the subscription. All our packages are priced to provide everything you need in one monthly subscription. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any follow up questions and have yourself an amazing weekend. Cheers partner. - George

Far more useful if you have delta shading at each price.
