Another video from our live trading room — this time, Head Trader Dan walks through a breakout trade on ES that required patience, precision, and confirmation.
He explains exactly why he waited for the first 30-minute candle to close, how he used Delta and Order Flow to gauge initiative buying, and what finally gave him the green light to enter.
📌 In this video, you’ll learn:
✅ Why waiting for the first 30-minute structure can save you from false moves
✅ How Dan uses Delta (2,000–3,000+) to confirm breakout aggression
✅ What a triple buy imbalance and clustered block orders reveal
✅ How he managed the trade live, scaled partial profits, and adjusted his stop
🎥 Watch it here:

Hi Dale
Great clips as always. I spotted that same level using your VP tools but didn’t spot the 100 contract on the OF side. So very useful to add that to my learning. Thanks.
What I’m struggling to understand is how the 100 contracts will add to the strength of the [now] Resistance level. The 100 contracts are either Aggressive Buying or Passive Selling. The position on the candle (near the bottom of a long down trend) suggests it’s aggressive buying rather than someone waiting for price to slide and then enter a limit sell order.
I’d be very keen to hear your thoughts on this and how you see the 100 contracts adding to the strength of the resistance level.
Thanks in advance
Hello,
100 contracts is quite a lot since it was a single order (not an iceberg). With Trades Filter I don’t pay too big attention if the order was on bid or on ask. Yea it looked more like aggressive buying at that time but we cannot be sure. What I focus on with trades filter is only big orders, no matter if Bid or Ask.
Thanks for a great question!
Hi Dale,
Are your entries always on the 30 minute time frame only?
What if we try get an entry in a lower TF ? 5-min or even 1-min?
I have tried short TF entries with your ideas and they worked but I am just wondering if they worked out of pure luck and I should avoid doing it, and get entries only on the M30 instead?
Thank you in advance
Hello Jim,
time frame does not play that huge role with Volume Profile. The reason is that there are only more candles, but volume distribution is still the same if you get my meaning.
I prefer 30 minute TF as it shows the bigger picture. 5 Minute chart would also be good, but I would need to zoom out a bit to see more candles and the bigger picture.
My trading setups work on 5 minute chart as well, it wasn’t luck 🙂
