Trading Strategies & Applications
ErkeScan provides powerful tools that can be applied to various trading strategies. This section outlines how to effectively use ErkeScan's features in your trading approach.
Volume-Based Trading Strategies
Volume Delta Analysis
Volume Delta measures the difference between buying and selling volume, indicating potential price direction:
Positive Volume Delta: When buying volume exceeds selling volume, it often signals bullish pressure
Negative Volume Delta: When selling volume exceeds buying volume, it often signals bearish pressure
Volume Delta Divergence: When price moves in one direction but Volume Delta moves in the opposite direction, it may indicate a potential reversal
Open Interest Strategy
Open Interest (OI) represents the total number of outstanding contracts in the futures market:
Rising OI with Rising Price: Indicates strong bullish sentiment with new money entering the market
Rising OI with Falling Price: Indicates strong bearish sentiment with new short positions
Falling OI with Price Movement: Suggests positions are being closed rather than new positions being opened
Sector Rotation Strategy
The Sector Performance charts allow you to implement a sector rotation strategy:
Identify Leading Sectors: Use the Sector Performance charts to identify which cryptocurrency sectors are showing relative strength
Monitor Rotation Patterns: Watch for early signs of capital flowing from one sector to another
Select Strong Tokens: Within outperforming sectors, look for individual tokens showing the strongest metrics
Position Accordingly: Allocate more capital to tokens in sectors showing emerging strength
Combining ErkeScan with Technical Analysis
For optimal results, combine ErkeScan's data-driven insights with traditional technical analysis:
Confirm Entries with Multiple Indicators: Use ErkeScan's Volume Delta and OI data to confirm entry points identified through technical analysis
Validate Support/Resistance: Check if significant price levels coincide with notable changes in Volume Delta or Open Interest
Enhance Chart Patterns: Traditional chart patterns become more reliable when supported by corresponding volume and OI patterns
Real-World Applications
ErkeScan's tools can be applied to various trading scenarios:
Breakout Trading
Use Volume Delta to confirm the strength of a breakout
Check if Open Interest is increasing during the breakout, suggesting new positions rather than closing of existing ones
Trend Following
Monitor sector performance to identify which sectors are in strong trends
Use custom alerts to notify you when Volume Delta confirms trend continuation
Reversal Detection
Set alerts for divergences between price and Volume Delta
Watch for decreasing Open Interest during price movements, which may signal weakening momentum
By combining ErkeScan's unique data insights with sound trading principles, you can develop more effective trading strategies and improve your decision-making process.
