TechniTrader Stock Trading "TC2000 Leading Indicator Time Segmented Volume"

How to Interpret Time Segmented Volume for Entries and Exits

Time Segmented Volume TSV is unique in its formulation as a Volume Oscillator. Although there are a couple of other Volume Oscillators in the TC2000 indicator list, this one is far superior due to the unusual inclusion of Price as well as Volume in the formula. 

With all 3 data pieces of market data in the formula and using a subordinate indicator, Technical Traders can see contrarian patterns that lead price sufficiently for earlier entries which result in higher profits. This is particularly beneficial during Bottoming and Topping Market Conditions.

Time Segmented Volume is NOT oscillating on highs and lows of Volume action. It oscillates on a comparative value of Volume over Time. The period setting is the comparative value which is extremely useful, and not always available in most indicators. By using a comparative value of X number of days, Traders can set the period to the timeframe most useful for their personal Trading Style.

When set properly Time Segmented Volume leads as much as 2-4 days ahead of any Price and Time indicator. These include the persistently popular MACD and Stochastic Indicators which are lagging more and more, as the market becomes more automated with highly sophisticated multi-leg conditional orders for the Dark Pools and more complex algorithms for High Frequency Trading Firms. Dark Pools are the giant Buy Side Institutions who control vast quantities of assets, and use off-exchange venues for most of their activity.
