Read what the market already told you.

Salti MGI puts market-generated information on your chart: where yesterday found value, how today opened against it, the initial balance and overnight range, and the unfinished business the market left behind, kept on the chart until price repairs it.

How it works

Every session is an auction. The profile is the receipt.

Where the market spent the most time is where buyers and sellers agreed on value. Where it moved fast, or stalled without follow-through, the auction is unfinished, and markets tend to come back to finish it.

Salti MGI builds a profile of each session from your chart's bars. The session is split into 30-minute TPO periods, and prices are grouped into rows. Each period that traded at a row counts once there, so a row's count is how many periods spent time at that price.

The busiest row is the POC, the point of control. The value area grows out from the POC, adding the busier rows above or below, until it holds 70% of the session's time. Its edges are the VAH and VAL. You can build the value area from volume instead of time.

Hyperprop gives scripts bars, not ticks, so a bar counts at every price from its low to its high. On charts of 5 minutes or less that's close to a true TPO profile; on 15- and 30-minute charts the big bars make rows a little wider.

Get the study

On the chart in five steps.

The defaults work on futures and crypto. Steps three and four are the ones worth a look.

  1. Find it in the community

    It's free. In the Hyperprop web terminal, open the community indicators and search for Salti MGI.

  2. Add it as an overlay

    Use a chart of 30 minutes or less; 5 minutes is a good default. On a larger timeframe the study shows a warning instead of levels.

  3. Check the session

    Session on Auto uses RTH (09:30–16:00 New York) on futures and the UTC day on crypto. Pick Futures day to build one profile from the 18:00 Globex open to the 17:00 close instead.

  4. Pick your initial balance

    Initial balance from starts at the session open by default and runs 1 hour. Switch it to the RTH open, the Globex open or your own start time, and set a 30-minute or custom length if that's how you read it.

  5. Watch it in replay

    Press Replay and play back a few sessions. Watch how price behaves at the prior value area edges and the POC, and which unfinished business gets repaired.

Reading the levels

What each label is telling you.

Labels sit just past the end of each line. Prices are examples from NQ.

pPOC 29,483.00

Prior POC. The price yesterday's session spent the most time at: the fairest price of that auction. Price often rotates back to it.

pVAH 29,566.25 · pVAL 29,353.75

Prior value area high and low. Where 70% of yesterday's time was spent. Opening above or below it tells you the market has moved away from yesterday's value.

pH 29,572.00 · pL 29,165.25 · pC

Prior high, low and close. The edges of yesterday's range. The close is off by default.

ONH 29,532.25 · ONL 29,412.25

Overnight high and low. From the 18:00 Globex open to the session open, so the hour after the cash close isn't counted. Shown on sessions with a gap, like RTH.

IBH (forming) · IBL · IB 1.5x

Initial balance. The high and low of the first hour, marked “forming” until that hour ends. Extensions at 1.5× and 2× the IB range are optional.

nPOC Oct 21 29,401.50

Naked POC. An older session's POC that no later bar has traded through, labeled with its date. It disappears once price trades through it.

 single prints 

Single prints. A shaded box over prices only one period traded, in the middle of a session's profile. They stay until price trades all the way back through them.

poor high Oct 23 29,610.00

Poor high or low. A session extreme that two or more periods traded at, with no tail beyond it. It stays until price takes it out.

dPOC · dVAH · dVAL

Developing POC and value area. Today's, updating as the session trades. Off by default.

MGI · RTH · Oct 26 Open above value Prior POC 29,483.00 · VA 29,353.75–29,566.25 IB 214.50 · 1.3x avg of last 10 Unfinished: 2 naked POCs · 1 single print

Info box. One read of the day: how today opened against yesterday's value and range, the prior POC and value area, today's IB against its 10-session average, and how much unfinished business is on the chart. Off by default; it sits above the recent highs or below the recent lows.

Unfinished business

What the market left behind.

Each one is drawn from where it formed and removed the moment price repairs it, so what's left on the chart is still open.

Naked POCs

The fairest price of an older session that price never went back to. Kept for the last 10 sessions; the prior session's POC is shown as pPOC instead.

Single prints

A fast move through the middle of a session, traded by one period only. Repaired once price trades back through the whole run. Tails at the very top or bottom of a day don't count.

Poor highs & lows

A session extreme with two or more periods at the same price and no tail: the auction stopped without rejecting. Repaired when price trades beyond it.

Settings

Every setting, and when to touch it.

The line and label options match Salti ATR Levels, so both studies can look the same on your chart.

Which auction, and its first hour.

Session decides what counts as a day. Auto uses RTH on futures and the UTC day on crypto. Futures day runs 18:00 to 17:00 New York; Custom takes your own New York times and can cross midnight.

The overnight range runs from its start time to the session open. 18:00 is the Globex open, so the hour after the cash close isn't part of it.

The initial balance starts at the session open by default and lasts an hour. You can start it at the RTH open, the Globex open or any New York time, and make it 30 minutes or any custom length.

Risk disclosures

Read this before you trade.

Not financial advice

This page and the Salti MGI study are educational tools. Nothing here is investment, financial, tax or legal advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any futures contract, perpetual swap or other instrument. Make your own decisions and consult a licensed professional where appropriate.

Risk of loss

Futures and crypto perpetuals involve substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for everyone. Leverage magnifies losses as well as gains, and you can lose more than your initial margin or account balance. Crypto markets trade around the clock, can move sharply, and are exposed to exchange, liquidity and funding-rate risk. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

Study limitations

Profiles are built from the chart's bars, not from tick data, so a bar counts at every price in its range and levels can differ from a tick-built profile. Results depend on the session, row size and timeframe you choose, and on how much history the chart loads. Value areas, POCs, single prints and poor highs or lows describe where the market traded; price may never return to them, and a return doesn't mean price will react.

Hypothetical examples

The prices on this page are examples. Any results from testing, replay or simulated accounts are hypothetical, are made with the benefit of hindsight, and do not account for the emotional pressure of live trading. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
