F3 Screen

The third screen, F3, is a colorized 30 minute bar chart with volume attached. Red and blue show the prices outside of the value area. Yellow represents the value area. Green is the mean of the volume and magenta is the actual high volume number of the period, when different from the mean. The distribution on the right hand of the screen is the volume distribution for the entire day with the same color scheme as the individual bars. This shows the most recent activity and closest relevant price points, where one should expect opposite activity or a pause. This screen keeps you closest to the market profile information that drives the activity of the traditional market profile user.
 

The fourth screen, F4 (below), is a 5 minute "equivolume" bar chart that shows the volume in that individual bar on the x-axis and price on the y-axis. The chart reveals a bar's volume relative to the volume of the other bars on the screen; the wider the bar the more the volume in that bar. The bar is further coded to show the volume done on the offer (red) and bid (blue) so you can track the side of the market getting the most volume in any bar. This is a quick fix on the current buying and selling. The chart includes a long term distribution on the right side of the screen to help track the high and low volume numbers affecting the trade. At the bottom of the chart is a bar histogram that tracks the cumulative buying and selling for the day allowing one to monitor the cumulative buy and sell pressure in the market. The greater this number the harder it is to reverse a trend.
