What is Good /Strong Volume

The stock broke out of a two-month range the day after huge volume spike took it out of its previous box.

The following days, WDC stock kept posting higher highs on the daily chart.

However, a volume spike can occur on any type of news. May it be good or bad.

For a stock or options trader, setting up your chart is one of the most important task.

Because you want to have enough indicators to make a decision on the direction of the stock.

Yet, in my experience, too many indicators can lead to analysis paralysis.

Therefore, we created the video below to help traders create and read Webull trading charts without too many useless indicators.

Four to five indicators should be enough on your Webull chart.

Anything higher and you set yourself up for many dilemmas especially if you are a beginner trader.

The Usual Analysts Ratings

The Webull Analysis feature starts with the classic Analyst ratings and price targets.

Just like many trading or investing tools, it provides a summary of how analysts think the stock may performing in the near future.

We are all too familiar with this information as depicted in the image below.

What Is Webull Positions Cost Distribution

Positions Cost Distribution Analysis is fairly new feature on Webull trading platform.

Its provides traders with a way to determine the potential direction of a stock.

In order to understand the concept of Position cost distribution, you need to assume that all the shares are bought and held by the investors.

The analysis is looking at how many shares were bought at which price level for a given period of time: day, week, month etc.

Assume company XYZ has a float of 1000 shares in total.

Different investors bought all these shares at the price level below:

• 100 shares were bought for $50
• 250 shares were bought for $52
• 450 shares were bought for $55
• 200 shares were bought for $60

This represents the position cost distribution for our example company XYZ.

Profitable Shares at Market Close

Now, we can look at the closing price of the stock to determine the % of profitable shares.

In our example of company XYZ, let’s assume the closing price is $53.

Therefore, we can infer that (100+250) = 350 shares out of the 1000 were profitable at the closing of the market.

This represents 35% of the shares only.

Thus, 65% of the shares have unrealized loss.

We used “unrealized because those shares are still been held by their buyers according to our initial assumption.

How To Use the Position cost Distribution for Short term trading

In general, if a stock price is high and a large ratio of have unrealized losses, there is a high probability the stock will decrease in the short term.

In the above example, 65% of the shares have unrealized profit because the closing price of $53 is well below their buying positions.

Here is the best readout on the concept of Positions Cost Distribution to help understand this new indicator.

As part of positions cost analysis, two other metrics are introduced: namely Cost concentration and profited shares at market close.
