STA Monthly Meeting – April 2017
Volume At Price (VAP) is an extremely useful, easy to use visual tool that confirms other visual indicators. It has not been given much coverage in the Technical Analysis field. Paul will outline both the theory behind the indicator and it’s practical application
The Theory
• Steidlmayer Distribution: the current Market Profile®
• Volume at Price(VAP): the new market profile
• How the VAP is calculated
• VAP confirms support and resistance
• VAP and Pivot Points
• VAP and gaps
The Practical
• VAP and price targets in short term trades
• VAP and the choice of strike prices in options strategies
Come prepared for an informative, interactive evening that will help all technical analysts view the price charts from a new perspective.
