Cool story.
122 2:1rr trades later:
• 81% win rate
• 5.3 profit factor
Turns out waiting for real volume + confirmation beats guessing tops and bottoms.
But yeah… keep fading strength and buying weakness 👍

Here it is. This is raw signals no fiters.
This is a perfect example of why rejection alone isn’t enough.
Price tapped the level and rejected, but instead of guessing, I waited for an HVG to form and used that as confirmation.
Once price broke past the previous HVG, we got a strong breakout, which gave me more confidence in the move.
Entry off the HVG → target was the next level → quick $400 scalp.
The key for me lately has been letting price confirm before getting involved instead of trying to predict the move.
Simple, repeatable, and low stress.

I’ve built out a volume-based range model I call Volume Range Theory (VRT), and it’s been performing consistently across the conditions I’ve been running it in.
The core idea:
When a high volume candle prints, that’s not random ut’s participation.
Instead of treating it as a spike, I define a range using that candle’s high/low and trade around it.
What I’ve been seeing:
- Price respects these ranges as temporary structure
- Breakouts from these zones tend to expand cleanly
- Retests of the range edges offer high-quality entries
So instead of relying on fixed session concepts like ORB, this basically identifies “ranges at any time” based on actual participation.
Attached is a sample of one variation of the system.
Not saying it’s universal across all conditions, but within the environments I trade, the behavior has been very repeatable.
Over 330 traders are currently using and testing the Volume Range Theory indicator.
It’s designed to highlight key levels, zones, and structured entry areas based on market volume and price behavior. The focus is on identifying where trades are likely to form, not just where price has already reacted.
So far, the consistency has been in how price returns to these areas and either holds or breaks with continuation.
Appreciate everyone who’s been testing and giving feedback.
This wasn’t my trade — one of the members in my Discord sent me this.
Price reacted perfectly off the midpoint first.
Instead of jumping in, she waited for confirmation.
HVG formed right after → entry came off that zone → clean move to the next level.
This is the part most people miss.
The reaction gives you the idea, but the HVG gives you the entry.
Way more controlled than just guessing off the level.
In this video I show you how effective HVG (High Volume Gaps) can be for stops and entries
Also show how effective the orange target lines are too (the levels that form before price ever reaches them)

Clean setup from today 👇
Price respected the Orange VRT level again and held structure.
After confirmation, we waited for an HVG to form and took the long entry from the zone (gold boxes).
From there, price continued higher — you can also see how much effort buyers needed to push through the VRT shadow before expansion.
This is why I don’t just take random entries.
VRT gives the structure, HVG gives the entry.
Simple, repeatable, and based on real participation.

The problem isn’t entries.
It’s not knowing when a move is actually real.
This is what I’ve been fixing.
VRT is about to get a serious upgrade.

New video for all you guys that were waiting.
It’s my first time ever doing something like this. I didn’t expect almost 200 people to be interested. I really hope this helps everyone
Would really appreciate it if you could share a post about the indicator on the r/vrttrading subreddit. Thanks! Also, feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel: VRT Trading.
Hope this helps. Very short explanation there’s a lot more to it. I will continue to make videos. I’m super busy throughout the day will do my best to keep you guys updated.
You can see marked opened came to the bottom bullish zone level and then went up to the orange level. All of this was predicted by the indicator before market even opened
Shared the entry beforehand.
Closed into the level and got the exact reaction I was expecting.
This is why I take profits into these zones — they don’t play around.
Not a signal, just showing execution.

Just added a new component to my volume-based system called Balance Shadow.
It identifies areas where price tends to:
• get attracted to
• react from
• or reject aggressively
What stands out is how clean the interactions are — especially when combined with existing volume levels.
It’s not something I’ve seen in standard indicators.
Been testing it on ES and SPY and it’s lining up consistently with real-time moves.
I’ll be posting more breakdowns and live examples in Discord for anyone who wants to see how it behaves.
A lot of people have been asking how to actually use the levels, so I’m going back and breaking down a few clean examples step by step.
The reactions are pretty straightforward once you see how price interacts with them.
It’s honestly a lot easier to explain with charts, so I’ve will be posting the full breakdowns and examples on Discord.
