See who moves the price.
Trade on volume, not on guesses.
Candles show what happened. Volume shows who did it: where big money enters, where the crowd's stops sit, and where price goes next. “Method” is 17 short lessons after which you read a VolFix footprint chart like a text.
One payment, no subscription. Lessons in the 1Study app and in the browser.
Footprint: buys × sells at every price
Sound familiar?
Three situations where the candle chart stays silent and volume speaks in advance.
You entered on an indicator — and price reversed right at your stop.
An indicator computes the past. Volume shows who is in the market right now and where the stops are that are profitable to sweep.
The candle is green, yet price keeps falling.
Because inside that candle more was sold than bought. On a footprint you see it in a second; on a candle, never.
You don't know where to put the stop or when to exit.
Volume profile gives the levels the market actually defends. Stop and target stop being a guess and become a calculation.
Volume analysis in 30 seconds
A candle says “what”. Volume says “who”.
No magic: every trade on the exchange is recorded with price and size. A footprint chart simply shows that record.
- 01
The candle is split by price
At every level you see how much was bought at market and how much was sold. That is the footprint (cluster).
- 02
The difference is delta
Buys minus sells. Delta shows who was pushing: buyer or seller. And when it “lies”, you can see that too.
- 03
POC — where the market agreed
The price with the maximum volume. The plan is built from it: entry, stop, target.
This is how the market has been read on CME and major exchanges for twenty years. Erlan translates it into plain language and shows it on the VolFix platform — on crypto and on futures.
