Thursday’s action in the SP built value at the top of Wednesday’s rally (value moved to price) and resulted in a balanced profile. This sets up breakout mode.
Though identifiable by the symmetrical shape of the profile, the degree of balance can be quantified using the Trade Facilitation factor - a ratio between the vertical and horizontal development during a trading day.
TFF = Total number of TPOs / Total number of price ticks.
A TFF of 1 indicates zero price control. (i.e. a vertical profile with only one TPO per price)
A TFF of 14 indicates total price control. (i.e. a horizontal profile with all 14 TPO’s at one price.)
Typically a TFF of 6 or above in day session Bonds or SP’s indicates that the market spent a lot of time in a narrow range and signifies a lack of other timeframe trader activity. i.e. the market is not facilitating trade and the area is likely to be rejected.
A TFF of less than 3 indicates a high degree of trade facilitation.
Thursday’s TFF was 6.13, Wednesday's was 2.95.
