Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL Theory is that imbalances staying open are the "neon sign" telling interbank traders that IPDA is in expansion and targeting DOL Expansion = imbalance Look at the buyside and sellside of all these trending MM models, the first grade almost always has a breakaway gap, that is a neon sign pointing to interbank that a trending price move is underway. Think of a buyside or sellside of a curve as a graded swing. And the "open" imbalance are signs giving you information of an expansion swing underway What are the applications of this knowledge? If you are trading the middle or 75% of the grade, and you don't have a breakaway gap behind you, then the probability of you being in a trending portion of the MM models is unlikely. If you are trading the first grade or the SMR, you can anticipate a breakaway gap forming, if it doesn't then you can reduce risk or close the trade The larger and more breakaway gaps there are, indicates the strength of the trend, multiple large bullish breakaway gaps can indicate a strong bull trend. A large BISI forming as price is drawn to the DOL is likely. Meaning the very last grade of the swing will generally have a large imbalance form The only thing left to study is the timeframe that the breakaway gap forms relative to the MM model, as sometimes the breakaway gap will only be seen on a lower time frame chart or vice versa where it's only seen on an HTF chart Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 1 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 2 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 3 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 4 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 5 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 6 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 7 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 8 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 9 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 10 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 11 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 12 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 13 Role of imbalances and breakaway gaps in IPDA expansions towards DOL 14
