MotiveWave & EdgeProX Installation

Prep MotiveWave & EdgeProX

ScalperIQ has the ability to pull a vast amount of historical data. We highly recommend reducing the # of linear and non-linear bars as well as days loaded for the chart you use it on to reduce load times and insure stability.

Understand What You're Seeing

• Colored Candles (Delta Flow): Candles are colored based on their delta strength. Brighter colors = stronger delta.
• Delta Zones (Delta Flow): Areas of buyer and seller aggression that may hold for a rebid or reoffer.
• Pivots (Delta Flow): Areas of control transition.
• Escape Bubbles (Phantom): Bubbles above or below bars marking where price pushed to new extremes without order flow confirmation — potential failed breakouts.
• Imbalance Levels (Impact): Horizontal lines at prices where trade size was significantly above normal.
