What is Market Profile ®?

Market Profile ® is defined as the study of price and volume over a period of time. Market Profile ® charts depict volume horizontally, as opposed to vertically, which is how most charts and platforms show volume. Market Profile ® illustrates price development, how price is moving, and the amount of volume trading at a particular price in real-time. It can also show a composite representation of price movement and development over a specific amount of time.

Why use Market Profile ®?

It is imperative for a trader to know and understand Market Profile ®. Recognizing how price is moving and developing in conjunction with volume will assist traders with placing high probability trades. A composite presentation of the Market Profile ® presents a detailed history of price movement and development. This gives traders additional information when attempting to identify long-term, intermediate-term, and short-term trends to trade with. Additionally, Market Profile's® horizontal representation of volume is crucial in identifying major areas of support and resistance, which trades are taken against.
