MarketWebs (MW) Technical Trading System Explanation

A technical system based on Market Profile Theories using Volume, Time, and Price to determine a Technical Roadmap outlining significant support & resistance across Equities, Futures, and Forex. 

  • Provides precise entry & exit pivot points based on these Market Profile Theories across different timeframes

    • Example: Daily chart Value Area is based on 1 month of Volume, Time, and Price

  • Significant volume nodes from previous periods are kept live (VPOC = Virgin Point of Control) because they can be substantial support / resistance levels

  • The Marketwebs are designed to help traders maintain a Trend Following Discipline

    • i.e.: avoiding stocks that are breaking down (below Value)

  • This system has been through numerous upgrades and enhancement over the last 5 years

Example: Break of Yearly Value Area on a Weekly Chart

Example: Plan out Targets based on VPOCs

(Virgin Points of Control)

Example: Avoid a name not ready to breakout

(trapped in range)

MW Definitions

  1. Value Area (VA): Majority of price action has taken place based on previous period; range between Value Area High (VAH) & Value Area Low (VAL), which are the prices at which ~70% of the volume has taken place
  • Price inside VA: stock is range bound & not trending
  • Price above/below VA: out of recent range (value); beginning to trend higher/lower
  • Time period is over: new VA created (past areas still relevant)
  • Price enters VA: “80% rule” 80% chance of passing from one side of value to the other (Note: Only true if, current period price est. outside of VA before entering & value area wasn’t already explored 100%)
    • The 80% rule is useful when price starts a period above or below the VA, enters the VA, and establishes itself – Then there’s an 80% chance that price travels from one end of the VA to the other (see chart below)
  • Frequent charting timeframes: (shows specific value area for…..)
    • 5m: value area for the day   1hr: the week  Daily: the month   Weekly: the year
  1. Point of Control (POC): Majority of volume has occurred at price based on previous period
  • Often acts as a magnet/ “base” (there’s heavy volume concentration there)
  1. Value Area High (VAH): 1 standard deviation volume profile in a given period
  • Aka Top of Value (TOV)
  • Price inside value: TOV is “resistance/pivot level”
  • Once price climbs above value, TOV becomes support

    Example of 80% Rule Playing Out

        1. Value Area Low (VAL): 1 standard deviation volume profile in a given period
        • Aka Bottom of Value (BOV)
        • Price inside value: BOV is “pivot support level”
        • Once price falls below value, BOV becomes resistance
        1. Virgin Point of Control (VPOC): Significant level left untested by the market
        • If price never visits its POC in a period, that POC will become a VPOC
        • Historical VPOCs often act as a magnet once price leaves value in the given period; act as memory points
        • These are exceptional for Buy / Sell Points!
        1. Venom: MW specific pivot levels of support or resistance
        • MW indicates 3 additional levels of support shown as Venom S1:, Venom S2:, Venom S3:
        • MW indicates 3 additional levels of resistance shown as Venom R1:, Venom R2:, Venom R3:
