Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] VAP (volume at price) indicator

roy&al if it can help :

the logic behing the VAP

a/ spots horizontal S/R : as defines by aera of lower
price distribution (sharp peaks as opposed to
congestion zone)

b/contrarian indicator ; it assumes that the least
possible amount of people will get into the train
at the lowest possible price (b4 a reversal).
equally it assumes the least possible amount of people
will recognize a sharp peak as the top it is
(hence lower volume there) : thus as a consequence
one can expect to have less bars (fewer horizontal
congestion) at/arround an interesting entry/exit price
and also that these bars will exihibt a very small
volume AS COMPARED TO THERE LENGHT.
