3. Next, you need to configure the module itself, for this, the display, time and histogram settings are located on the top of the module: we set the time range in seconds, which sets the size of the sliding window and the scale scale for building a histogram.

Using the example of BTCUSDT (the approximate significant volume at the same level is about 30-200 BTC at a price step of $ 1 on the Binance exchange - the value varies depending on volatility):

## Description of the trading strategy

Ax module helps to determine:

To identify the direction of accumulation of LARGE POSITIONS by limit orders (potentially - actions of the market maker).

To identify the propping up of the levels (reversal formations).

Determination of support and resistance levels in the market.

## Entry points to the deal

1. Identify a significant level.
2. Place an application at this level (preferably 2 steps before this level to take your application with a high probability).
3. Wait for your application to be accepted.
4. After taking your application, there should be a reaction in your direction (a quick blow, a rebound, an increase in intensity).
5. At the level of your entry or a little further, there is a surge (growth) of the scales - it looks like the level is supported by limit orders.
6. Maintaining a position towards the intended goals. If the price reaction was not at the level, then the deal is for a short time, because a breakdown of this level is likely (a quick deal with an exit).

How to determine the level: this is an outstanding maximum among the local distribution of scales. Example - prices 60272 and 60240 for ASK and 60046 and 60014 for BID:

What happened after a few minutes (the levels restrained the price, and then you need to look at the price behavior - intensity, orientation, to assess the possibility of holding a short position and for what distance):
