Absorption Levels
A closer look.
What it adds
A level worth
looking at.
Absorption Levels compares bid-side and ask-side traded volume at a price. When activity meets your configured thresholds, it becomes a horizontal reference on the chart.
Use those references to organise a later review of price behaviour. The marked activity is an observation; how the market subsequently reacts is a separate part of your analysis.
Inside the tool
Information you can
work with.
Control chart density
Adjust the lookback and maximum line count. Volume labels help explain why a particular reference appeared.
Keep track of a return
Optional approach and touch alerts draw attention to existing levels. Detection and price checks use bar-close calculations.
A practical workflow
From activity
to a useful reference.
Set a focused filter
Choose thresholds appropriate to the instrument, chart and data you are reviewing. Start with fewer levels so you can understand their origin.
Inspect the source bar
Open the surrounding order flow. Review the bid/ask volume that qualified, its place in the range and its relation to the session map.
Observe the return
Assess the subsequent price response with your own criteria. A plotted line does not define an entry, stop or target.
Before you start
Know your
setup.
- Platform and dataNinjaTrader 8, Order Flow+ volumetric data and a supported chart type.
- Historical reviewSuitable historical tick data and the appropriate Tick Replay setup are needed. Confirm coverage before interpreting older sessions.
- Detection and filtersDetection runs on bar close. An optional bar-extreme filter narrows where qualifying activity is marked.
- Alert timingApproach and touch checks use the bar-close price, with one alert of each kind per level. This is not a tick-by-tick touch monitor.
Product questions
A little more
clarity.
How are levels identified?
A price must meet the configured minimum volume, bid/ask dominance and stacking conditions. The optional bar-extreme filter further restricts detection.
Does a marked level confirm a reversal?
A marked level records qualifying activity. It does not establish that price held or will reverse. Review the surrounding market and your own criteria.
How are old levels removed?
Lookback and recent-bars filters, together with the line-count cap, determine which levels remain visible. A break through a level does not automatically invalidate it.
Can I try the paid tools before buying?
At launch, each paid TapeCrest indicator or add-on will offer a seven-day trial, with no card required and no automatic charge. Public trial access is not open yet. Explore the tools and check their platform and data requirements here.
When does the trial start, and can I restart it?
When trials open, your seven days will begin at the first successful activation of that product. Browsing, account creation and downloading will not start it. Reinstalling will not restart it.
What happens after seven days?
Trial access expires. You choose whether to purchase the product; there is no automatic conversion or charge. Platform, market-data and external AI-model costs are separate from the TapeCrest trial.
Will Opening Range Breakout be included?
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) is planned as a benefit included without extra cost in a qualifying package. Package details will be confirmed before launch. That benefit is separate from the seven-day trial policy for paid products.
