The Biggest Mistake Traders Make With Market Delta [FOOTPRINT CHART]

What does a positive or negative delta really mean? Brannigan explains that when it comes to trading with the foorprint chart, there's a common misconception that a strong cumulative delta indicates positioning in a market. This is false.

There is only positioning when a strong net delta is complemented with price response. Without this type of price response a strong cumulative delta just means that there are more buyers lifting the offers or sellers hitting the bids.

Brannigan uses GBPUSD and German 10 Year Bund futures to show comparative instances of delta having increased with and without price response to analyse and understand the interactions between participants.

I am looking fot Delta divergence at resistances or supports

[mattd]

I have never heard CD alone be a buy or sell indicator. CD is telling a story about the bids and offers that you can use to your advantage. This is why Delta Divergence is used because when delta is strong in one direction and price isn't moving you have an underlying convergence that is going to happen. Typically one side prevails and you get a large directional move. The key is being patient and wait for your signal to jump on the back of whoever wins and ride the wave.

[NeverSeenVids]

Very good! Finally someone with a clear explanation.

[TTeaSett]

What does he mean when he says that "the sellers are reloading the offer"? can someone explain please?

[ffrealestatezome]

Hello God from another world, do you prefer Sierra or MarketDelta? Which one do you use? Thank you

[Spinlayer]

Your course is based on a sofware that is no longer avaliable... how can I enroll your course if i can't use that software? Is there any identical software to follow your course?

[jakeracz]

So many contradicting view points on this that I’ve taken it off my charts so it doesn’t screw with my head but I’ll be adding it back on now. Thanks for this

[ygumit]

Hi Brannigan, how come that on footprint only market orders are shown? Where do all the limit orders go? How come that at a single tick, there can be different numbers of buyers and sellers?

[thadbeingthad]

As soon as you mentioned "there's no April fools joke" I had to check the date of this video release. I'm watching this on April 2, 2022. Serendipitous coincidence.

[revengetrader]

What happened to Market Delta software?
I’d like to know what other available options are there?
Investor RT is great but also has its flaws.

Thanks

[PhongNguyen-tplg]

thanks ... great video! ... Am i correct? ... the point here is when we see a huge imbalance in Delta ... then we should notice how the price react with it ... chances are we might be in an absorbtion phase in which bigMoney might be taking their profit & just start loading their new orders ... so it price is not going to reverse right away? :)

[TopgunB]

Is it not simpler to only look at Delta to confirm or refute a breakout or fake out together with volume and open interest. It is an early predictor of breakout or fake out. The point is you look at price first then use Delta not the other way round.

[emmanuelsamuel]

Hi, how can I access market delta??
or marketdelta cloud...?

[mikeerzulie]

and what does "reloading the bid" mean? And does this mean trading gurus selling systems based on Footprint/Order Flow are promising something that won't help trading accuracy?

[Reapercreepers]

Basically means longs covering shorts and vice Versa. Lots of factors in but like the man said it doesn’t mean buy or sell ... that would be too easy. Off course sometimes opportunities are there from what the data shows it’s a great tool however.

[jobijobajoba]

Not to mention that Delta is not a delta as -3250 for example has 3250 Bids waiting to be taken, so a delta which is not a delta but a mere indication of who is more "aggressive" so not very useful on its own in my opinion and certainly not indeed a gage of net buying/selling

[charliethomas]

Your interpretation of 'net long' and 'net short' is interesting. Obviously there aren't more longs than shorts and vice versa, so how do you come up with the assumption that a market is 'net long'? My understanding is that there are an equal amount of buyers and sellers, and market direction is dictated by supply and demand.

[thetrader]

so remove the Delta from your chart ...

[reddotfx]

I think that hes the only one making these mistakes

[jkoresh]

Why not remove the damn delta so it can’t screw us in the head 🤪
