Foundation
What is a futures contract?
What you are actually trading, how ticks and points work, and what one move costs.
Animated illustration in four parts. One: price drops to the volume point of control, sellers are absorbed and price reverses. Two: price sweeps above a range high, fails to hold and reverses down. Three: a TPO profile builds letter by letter over a session, then three days of profiles are compared. Four: a depth of market ladder and liquidity heatmap show an iceberg order absorbing buyers before price is rejected. This is a simulation for education only.
