Identify breakouts and fakeouts

Raindrops can show you if there was any volume behind a move or not. If you see a big green candle breaking out, but on the Raindrop chart you see just a small wick, it's a nudge to be suspicious.

Volume is everything. Follow the volume

Traditional candlesticks have a blind spot: volume. They tell you nothing about the strength of a move. Raindrops are different.

What are Raindrop Charts?

Unlike traditional candlesticks, Raindrops do not have open or close prices. They are constructed from a high, low, left VWAP and right VWAP. The first half (left side) of each Raindrop represents the first half of the trading period, the second half (right) represents the second half. The width of each side represents the amount of trading volume that occurred at each price level. The dashes are the VWAP for the respective period.
