How are imbalances calculated

[victorg6]

I am trying to setup the imbalances, the highlighted numbers and lines makes no sense to me... See couple of samples in the image. How are they calculated?

I would suggest to read up on what a imbalance is for starter, there is plenty information on the Internet, and I'm sure its more pedagogical than giving a explanation on a forum The settings you are referring to is just different ways for Motivewave to highlight them on the chart.

Once you get a understanding for what a imbalance is, the settings will become self-explanatory.

I explained this is pretty great detail in this post (Link Below)...

Just scroll down and find the blurb from me

Footprint - Absorption

Hello, I am trying to understand absorption and imbalance better... I am wondering if anyone could help me understand the absorption levels highlighted on the chart with respect to my settings? I see both a bid and ask outline. Does the absorption level outline bid color (red) if we have...

Prices are generated when bids and ask agree, based on what you enabled you can see who is winning the "war" about each support or resisitance levels. in an up trend you can expects bids to keep going up.

we know a resistance level is where sellers are last dominant- so if we see bids building stronger up to that point in combination with other analysis it gives a clearer picture.

P.S Confirmation signals are best when not used alone. if you combine with a trend identifiying system. the volume imprint can let give you details on what's going on in various key levels. i hope this helps
