Market Profile

Understanding Market Profile

  • Market Profile is a graphical representation that combines price and time information, showing the distribution of price actions over a specific period.
  • This technique helps traders visualize where the market has been active, indicating significant price levels based on trading volume.
  • It provides insights into the equilibrium price where trading has occurred but also where longer-lasting support and resistance levels may exist.

    Key Components of Market Profile

  • Point of Control (POC): The price level with the highest traded volume, often seen as a critical support or resistance level.
  • Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL): These define the price range where approximately 70% of the trading activity has occurred, essential for gauging market sentiment.
  • The Initial Balance (IB): Highlights the price range established during the first period of trading, often used to identify potential breakout points.

    • Market Profile Calculation Techniques

  • The best timeframes for calculating daily, weekly, and monthly Market Profiles are flexible but generally include M5, H1, and D1 settings.
