The key takeaways are that Market Profile is a visual tool that helps analyze price action, trader behavior, and market structure. It provides insights into support/resistance levels, trends, and potential areas of interest.

Some of the main building blocks of Market Profile include TPOs (time price opportunities), Point of Control, Value Area, ranges, tails, and different profile shapes.

Market Profile can help traders anticipate areas of support/resistance, spot trends and potential reversals, understand different types of market participants and their behavior, and develop trading strategies based on the daily profile.

DEEP DRIVE INTO SHORT-TERM REFFRENCE

===================================

POOR HIGH/POOR LOW


====================

LACK OF EXCESS(NO TAIL AT HIGH/LOW,1TPO ONLY)


AUCTION INCOMPLETION
POOR LOW/POOR HIGH ARE NOT A TARGET IN EVERY CASE
NEAR TO THE END OF THE SESSION (AVOID SPECULATING INTRADAY)
MORE WEAKER AND MORE VISUAL POOR HIGH/POOR LOW
COMPLEATED AUCTION VS INCOMPLEATED AUCTION IN A STRONG UP
TREND
AB -POOR LOW/POOR HIGH

=======================

IT IS A SPECIAL SITUATION DIFFRENCE BETWEEN A AND B IS ONLY

2 TPO OR LESS THEN 2 TPO SUCH REFFRENCE ARE CALLED AB

POOR HIGH/POOR LOW

FROM A INTRADAY PERSPECTIVE USUALLY SUCH AB REFFRENCE

ARE LIKELY TO CLEAR WITH VERY HIGH PROPABILITY

AB POOR HIGH/POOR LOW HAS TO BE WATCHED FROM A NEAR

EOD PERSPECTIVE TO CONSIDERS AS A SHORT-TERM REFFRENCE

AB POOR HIGH/POOR LOW ARE POTANTIAL TARGETS WHEN

COMES TO SHORT-TERM TRADING

AB POOR HIGH/POOR LOW HAS TO BE TAKEN AS TARGET ONLY IF

THE CONTEXT SUPPORT, TRADING SENTIMENT,HOURLY SIGNALS ARE

SUPPORT

AB POOR LOW AFTER A SUSTAINED UP TREND INDICATION OF

SWING TOP IS NEARING, TIME TO PREPARE FOR LONG

LIQUIDATION

45 DEGREE LINE

=============

EMOTINAL PRICE BASED TRAP


POC CONTROL FOR THE DAY WILL NOT MIGRATION
STRUCTURE - BALANCED AND BULGED
45 DEGREE LINE ON BOTH THE SIDE IGNORE THE 45 DEGREE LINE
FAILED AUCTION (T+5) DAYS
=======================

FAILED AUCTION IS ONE FORM INCOMPLETED AUCTION/INITIAL


BREAKOUT FAILURE
TERMINALEGY IS INTRUDUCED BY RAY BARROS FROM
TRADINGSUCCES.COM
THIS CONSUPT ONE CAN USE WIDELY TO TRADE IN INDEX AND AVOID
TRADING IN STOCKS
HOW TO MONITOR FAILED AUCTION AND BREAKOUT FAILURES?

BREAKOUT FAILURE CAN BE DETERMINED DURING THE INTRADAY

IT SELF HOWEVER ONE HAVE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE

PATTERN IS FAILED OR NOT ONLY BY EOD


IGNORE FAILED AUCTION IT IS HAPPENING NEAR TO THE EXPIRY (LAST
WEEK OF EXPIRY)
IGNORE TRADING TOWARDS BACK TO BACK FAILED AUCTION

G2-G3 PATTERNS (GRADE-2,GRADE-3 PATTERNS) (T+2) DAYS

==================================================

IT IS SPECIFIC PATTERN WICH EXPLINES IN THE SHORT-TERM

INVENTORY CONDITION GETTING LONG TO TOOLONG OR

GETTING SHORT TO TOOSHORT

USALLY THE END RESULT IS A HIGH PROPABILITY SHORT

COVERING RALLY/LONG LIQUDATION

G-2 TARGET IS GENERALLY 2 DAY HIGH LOW WITH IN (T+2) DAYS


G-3 TRAGET IS GENERALLY 3 DAY HIGH LOW WITH IN (T+2) DAYS
ONE OF THE EXPIRY DAY SETUP
FAILED AUCTION BACK TO BACK + G-2 OR G-3 PATTERN IS

A STRONG SUPPORT/RESISTANCE ZONE DON'T TAKE A

TRADE (T+5) DAYS IN TARGET SIDE

STEALTH AUCTION

================
IT IS A TRADE LOCATION WHERE SHORT-TERM INVENTORY GOES

LONG TO TOO LONG OR SHORT TO TOO SHORT


STEALTH MORE WEAKER INTRADAY PLAYERS WILL BE CLOSING THEIR
POSITIONS
IT IS A LATE FORCING ACTION CHARACTERIZED MY MULTIPLE LOW/HIGH
DURING THE DAY
OFTEN STEALTH ACTION HAS POOR STRUCTURE WITH 3 OR 4
ANOMALIES
IT SHOULD NOT BECOME A DOUBLE/TRIBLE DISTRIBUTION
PRICE BASED TRAP
2 TYPES OF STEALTH ACTION ACCURE
TYPE-1 STEALTH ACTION - 3 ANOMALIES
TYPE-2 STEALTH ACTION - 4 ANOMALIES
SPIKE REFERENCES

===============

SPIKES ARE NOTHING BUT POC NON MIGRATION


MOST OF THE TIMES SPIKES ARE POTENTIAL PRICE BASED

TRAP WHICH TRAPS THE EMOTIONAL TRADERS MOST OF THE


TIME

VERY FEW SPIKES ARE GENUINE SPIKES


L&M PERIOD IF THERE IS A SUDDEN SHOOT THEN L PERIOD

SINGLE PRINT ZONE IS CONSIDERED FOR SPIKE REFFRENCE

KL&M PERIOD WILL INVOLVE SUDDEN SHOT IN THAT CASE K

PERIOD-> SINGLE PRINT THAT BECOMES THE POTENTIAL SPIKE

BASE

TYPES OF SPIKE REFERENCE

======================

POC NON MIGRATION - TRAP


BEAR TRAP SPIKES AT SINGLE PRINT ZONES OR DOUBLE DISTRIBUTION
SIZE
GENUNE SPIKES
BACK TO BACK SPIKES - TREND CONTINUATION ( SPIKE IN SAME
DIREECTION )
BACK TO BACK SPIKES V-SHAPE REVERSAL ( SPIKE ARE IN OPPOSITE
DIRECTIONS )

SPIKE REVERSALS
==============

PRIVIOS DAY SPIKE DOWN TODAY SPIKE UP


PRIVIOS DAY SPIKE UP TODAY SPIKE DOWN ALSO INDICATE THE
REVERSAL
GAP REFFRENCE

==============

GAP IS ONE OF HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE MARKET.GAP UP IS

INDICATES HIGH CONFIDENCE BUYING AT THE OPEN AND GAP

DOWN INDICATES HIGH CONFIDENCE SELLING AT THE OPEN

GAPS ARE REFFERED WITH RESPECTED TO PROVIOS DAY HIGH AND

PRIVIOS DAY LOW.PRICE OPENING ABOVE PRIVIOS DAY HIGH IS

CONSIDERD AS GAP UP.PRICE OPENING BELLOW THE PREVDAY LOW

IS CONSIDERD IS GAP DOWN

GAP IS A SHORT-TERM REFFRENCE( NOT EVERY GAPS NEEDS TO BE


REVISITED BACK )
WEEKLY GAPS ARE VEARY IMPORTANT

GAP RULES

=========

RULE-1 IF THE GAP IS NOT FAIRLY AND QUICKLY FILLED GO IN THE


DIRECTION

RULE-2 IF THERE IS A GAP REJECTION GO IN THE DIRECTION OF GAP

RULE-3 IF THERE IS BIG GAP UP LETTER "A" PERIOD LOW IS A

MONITORING REFFRENCE PRICE BREAKING THE LETTER "A"

PERIOD INCREASES THE ODDS OF GAP FILL


RULE-4 BIGGER THE GAP.HOWEVER BALANCING STRUCTURE WITH

BREAKOUT FAILURE REDUCES THE OODS OF GAP CLOSURE FROM

INTRADAY PERSPECTIVE

RULE-5 EXPONETIAL GAPS

EXPONENTIAL GAPS ARE ONE OF EMOTIONAL TRADING ACTIVITY

AND MORE CONFIDENCE SHORT-TERM TRADERS INVENTORY GOING

LONG TO TOO LONG ( LONG POSITION) INVENTORY GOING SHORT TO

TOO SHORT ( SHORT POSITION )


SINGLE PRINT ( DOUBLE/TRIPLE DISTRIBUTION )

=======================================

BIG THE SINGLE PRINT ZONES HIGHER THE ODDS OF IMMEDIATE

RESISTANCE/IMMEDIATE SUPPORT
ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION NEEDS TO BE MONITORED AROUND
SINGLE PRINT ZONES
ACCEPTANCE AROUND SINGLE PRINTS INDICATES==>CHANGE IN THE
CONTEXT
REJECTION AROUND SINGLE PRINTS INDICATES THE PREV DAY CONTEXT
CONTINUES
AVOID USING SINGLE PRINTS TO PLACE STOPLOSS
SINGLE PRINTS WITH AN INSIDE DAY INDICATES NO CHANGE IN

CONTEXT.SO AVOID TAKING SHORT-TERM REFFRENCE FROM

INSIDE DAY
SINGLE PRINT ZONE ON ACCEPTANCE THE REFFRENCE NEEDS TO BE
REMOVED
SINGLE PRINT ZONE IN ONE DIRECTION FOLLOWED BY SINGLE

PRINT ZONE IN ANOTHER DIRECTION INDICATES TREND REVERSAL

EXCESS

======

END OF ONE AUCTION AND BEGINNING OF ANOTHER ACTION


EXCESS IS GOOD HIGH IN MARKET PROFILE TERM LONG TAIL

IN MARKET PROFILE DAILY,WEEKLY,MONTHLY TIME FRAME

EXCESS HAPPENS ACROSS ALL THE TIME FRAMES


FAILED AUCTION ONE OF EXCESS
EXCESS WHERE INNOVATOTRS AND LAGARD MEET EACH OTHER
BALANCE

=======

P-SHAPE BALANCE
b-SHAPE BALANCE

P-SHAPE BALANCE
===============
RIGHT FROM THE OPEN FIRST HOUR OF TRADING IS MOST FOCUSED

ON SHORT COVERING AND REST OF THE DAY IS FOCUSED ON


BALANCING AT TOP OF THE DAY PROFILE
MOST OF THE P-SHAPE PROFILE BELONGS TO SHORT COVERING

ODDS AND FEW CASES IT COULD BE THE COMBINATION OF FRESH

MONEY BUYING + SHORT COVERING

b-SHAPE BALANCE

===============

RIGHT FROM THE OPEN FIRST HOUR OF TRADING IS MOST

FOCUSED ON LONG LIQUDITION AND REST OF THE DAY IS

FOCUSED ON BALANCIN AT BOTTOM OF THE DAY PROFILE

MOST OF THE b-SHAPE PROFILE BELONGS TO LONG LIQUDITION

ODDS AND FEW CASES IT COULD BE THE COMBINATION OF FRESH

MONEY SELLING + LONG LIQUDITION

DOUBLE/TRIPLE MECHANICAL REFRENCE LEVEL

=======================================

ONE FORM OF STOP LOSS LEVEL


TWO OR THREE SINGLE PRINT TAILS ZONE OVERLAPING
ONLY IF CONTEXT SUITS DOUBLE/TRIBLE MECH REFFRENCE WILL

BE USED AS POTANTIAL TARGET

AT TIMES IT WILL BE HELPFULL TO IDENTYFY CLUSTRED STOP LOSS

DEEP DRIVE IN TO INTRADAY REFFRENCE


=================================

PRIVIOS DAY HIGH


PRIVIOS DAY LOW
PRIVIOS DAY HALF BACK LINE
RALLY HIGH ( MOST IMPORTANT TO FRIDAY RALLY HIGH )

OPENING TYPES

=============

Open-Drive

The open-drive is considered the highest conviction of the open types,

characterized by unidirectional activity, which often results in a trend day. On

an open-drive, the opening print will often be the low or high of the day,

depending on the direction. Market profilers attribute the high level of


aggression to the additional participation of OTF (other timeframe) traders.

Open Test Drive

The open test drive is similar to the open drive in that it generally opens above

the previous day’s range and value area, but it doesn’t immediately have a

directional move. The market will first test an important level, like the previous

day’s high or low, before it makes the directional move.

Open Rejection Reverse


The open rejection reverse is characterized by initial conviction on the open,

often opening above (or below) the previous day’s value area and range, but is

quickly met with resistance or support, resulting in a reversal in the opposite

direction. This open type frequently leads to momentum in the opposite

direction of the initial move at the open.

Open Auction (Outside of Range)

The open auction (outside of range) is characterized by an open outside of the

previous day’s range, with little or no directional conviction. During an OAOR,

the market is considered to be “in balance,” indicating a relative consensus

among market participants. In a lot of literature on the internet, there seems

to be a misconception that OAORs often lead to significant trend days. Still,

the OAOR is considered to be the second weakest open type (in regard to

conviction level), right behind the Open Auction (Inside of Range).

STRONG / WEAKER REFFRENCE ANALYISIS

===================================

STRONG REFFRENCE ( ACT AS SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE )

===============================================

SINGLE PRINT ZONE


EXCESS ( LONG TAIL )
PPOC ( BACK TO BACK,EXPONANTIAL,STRONG SUPPORT BASSED)
SPICK ( BACK TO BACK,GENUNE SPICK)
FAILED AUCTION BACK TO BACK + G-2 OR G-3

PATTERN IS A STRONG SUPPORT/RESISTANCE


WEAKER REFFRENCE ( ACT AS SHORT-TERM TARGET )

===========================================

OPEN DRIVE ( OPEN = HIGH,OPEN = LOW)


AB POOR HIGH / POOR LOW
POOR HIGH / POOR LOW
FAILED ACTION ( ONLY FOR INDEX )
GRADE-2 OR GRADE-3 PATTERNS
DOUBLE MECH TOP / BOTTOMS
TRIBLE MECH TOP / BOTTOMS
INTRADAY NUANCES

STELTH AUCTION
REVERSEL PPOC
WEAKER TEMPORARY SUPPORT/RESISTANCE
INTRADAY HALF BACK LINE AND PRIVIOS DAY HALF BACK LINE
