A practitioner is calculating a 70% Value Area by hand. The Point of Control (POC) is at 1.2500 with 500 contracts. The two ticks above (1.2501, 1.2502) have a combined 400 contracts. The two ticks below (1.2499, 1.2498) have a combined 600 contracts.

According to the standard iterative expansion algorithm, what is the next step?

  1. Reset the calculation because the Value Area must be symmetrical around the POC.
  2. Add all four ticks (1.2498 to 1.2502) to the Value Area because 1000 contracts is 20% of the typical total.
  3. Add only 1.2499 to the Value Area because it is adjacent to the POC.
  4. Add the 1.2499 and 1.2498 levels to the Value Area and update the cumulative volume to 1100.
