Adding Quantity, Volume, or Flow of Funds Indicators to the Analysis
One of the most exasperating things that happen to Retail and Technical Traders is to find a chart with a perfect setup but the stock has already gapped or run up with a huge one day gain, as High Frequency Trading algorithms triggered the running or gapping of the stock up in the first few minutes of the trading day.Many traders want to learn how to capture these gains, and be in the stock before a huge gap or big run day and improving the use of Bollinger Bands is the best method.
Go watch “Bollinger Bands Training Webinar," and experience for yourself the excellence of TechniTrader education.
Bollinger Bands tell you that a stock is poised for a strong Momentum Run or gap, but do not tell you whether the Breakout will be to the Upside or Downside. During Trading Range Market Conditions, it is impossible to “guess” the Breakout direction solely using Price and Time Indicators.

Employing Quantity, Volume, or Flow of Funds Indicators provides the complete set of indicator analysis to determine the direction of the Breakout when using Bollinger Bands. When trading Options this eliminates the need for Options strategies that buy both a Call and a Put, because the trader has no idea what direction the Breakout will go. When trading Stocks it eliminates the risk of whipsaw action, or just assuming that because the Indexes are down that the Breakout will be down also.
This is especially helpful during Bottoming Market Conditions when stocks frequently retest prior bottom lows. Below is a chart example with Volume and Quantity Indicator windows.

This is especially helpful during Bottoming Market Conditions when stocks frequently retest prior bottom lows. Below is a chart example with Volume and Quantity Indicator windows.
1. Quantity Indicators reveal the slow Dark Pool Quiet Rotation™ and Quiet Distribution, as well as Dark Pool Quiet Accumulation patterns caused by the giant Buy Side Institutions. The TechniTrader Quiet Accumulation TTQA Indicator was designed for MetaStock users for this purpose. Quantity indicators are used by Professional Traders regularly, but are rarely used by Retail Traders. There are both line and histogram Quantity Indicators available.
2.
Volume Oscillators are also seldom used by Retail Traders. These offer a
significant advantage over Price and Time Oscillators, which tend to give false
signal during Momentum Runs, Velocity Runs and other fast moving price action
that exceeds the parameters of the price oscillator scaling.
3.
The Flow of Funds Indicators are another group of indicators that help
determine direction of a Breakout. Oftentimes Smaller Funds and Independent
Investors are selling, at the same time giant Buy Side Institutions are quietly
buying the same stock hidden from view on Dark Pool venues. These types of
indicators show whether money is flowing into or out of the stock.
By
incorporating additional indicators into the stock analysis, Retail and
Technical Traders can significantly improve their trading profits by identifying
the direction of the Breakout prior to price suddenly moving with momentum, a
gap, or velocity action caused by High Frequency Trader triggers.

Summary
Quantity,
Volume, or Flow of Funds Indicators are easy to interpret, provide the missing
data for a complete stock pick analysis during sideways patterns, and are best
for improving the use of Bollinger Bands.
For
Options Traders, this is a far more useful analysis than traditional Options
Indicators, and it can lower contract costs by providing the missing data needed
to choose the proper contract and Option strategy.
