[@jonahware5396]

@@PriceActionVolumeTrader in November and Dec the volume profile wasn't working because of the lack of pullbacks and I was starting to doubt myself.. this month I got my confidence back, just need to learn to hold my trades and trust my levels

[@soecheverri]

Excelente... Gracias!

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

Con gusto!

[@mauricewanice4002]

merci beaucoup

[@aaronlawry6889]

I like the new intro! Definitely going to take your course. Are you continually updating your course with additional insights?

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

Hi Aaron. Glad you are enjoying the content. Yes, the courses every few months I will add new chapters on new trading topics that will add value to it.

[@TURKI-kc4sz]

Amazing video!! The is the clearest video I have ever seen of the volume profile!! Could you please tell about the settings of your volume profile? Thanks!!

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

Hey. I have one already in my channel. Search for “anchor volume profile”. There are 2 parts. Part 2 are the settings.

[@lynnramirez2605]

Thank you! I finally understand! You are my hero! Which VP indicator do you use on tradingview?

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

I mostly use the 2 free volume profile drawing tools they have on the left menus. Fixed Range and Anchored. From the paid VP indicators I just use the session VPs and periodic. But you can recreate them manually with the free ones.

[@TURKI-kc4sz]

⁠​⁠@@PriceActionVolumeTraderawesome! What is the setting you use for the fixed range and anchored?

[@MrSinghSAmit]

Great revision

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

Glad you liked it.

[@andreandree4384]

Volume profile is perfect with hindsight when the day session have finished, everything will be clear. However during the day, poc and value areas will develop and move and the picture won't be as clear. Perhaps after mid day of the session, the view of the levels will be better and can help to take positions.

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

Yes, but that's also why I use previous session VP's as well as longer term VP levels taken from the hourly charts. During the session the profile yes will be developing as I pointed out in the video, but as the day progresses it gets clearer and you also got those other reference points from previous sessions. And also this is just one tool I use in conjunction with others like footprint and delta to help confirm absorptions. But in general this is the best rule of thumb for VP that I have used.

[@andreandree4384]

​@@PriceActionVolumeTraderyes. Agree. It must be used in conjunction with other tools to be relevant. Great video.!

[@jdc531]

With enough time *pun intended* you see that development and know that for will become a level 😊

[@timwilcox960]

Clear and comprehensive explanation - thank you. One question if I may: I note that you and all other commentators/educators publishing videos on Volume Profile (VP) invariably use ‘traditional’ time based bar/candlestick charts. I use Range charts and wondered if there are any reasons why VP won’t be just as effective with these (and other non-time based charts like Point & Figure and Renko etc.) as it is with time based bar/candlestick charts? Perhaps this would make an excellent topic for your next video! ;-)

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

My preferred chart for day trading is tick charts and I always use session VP on those. For higher time frame analysis I use hourly/daily. But yes, VP would work with other chart types. I have used volume charts in the past, and also when I use footprint sometimes I like to use a range footprint chart for day trading.

[@timwilcox960]

​@@PriceActionVolumeTrader Hi PAVT, thank you for the very swift reply. 👍 Interestingly, your answer puts you at odds with another 'guru' on Volume Profile (VP) who said this in answer to the exact same question: "Won’t work with range charts, there will be too much variation in the amount of volume traded per profile in my opinion. You won’t have any set variable that you’re comparing it to such as time." IMO, the difference of opinion just reflects the widely accepted notion that there is no one way - or right way - to trade the markets and what works for one person may not work for the next etc. Interestingly, I've plotted VP on a 200 Range chart (German Dax) and a proxy time based equivalent candlestick chart (30 minutes), and while the VP is similar - it's not the same. At the very least, the difference suggests to me that the settings that work well for one may not be suitable for the other. Ergo, as per my last post - a video on using VP on time based charts Vs non-time based charts (e.g. Range, P&F, Renko etc.) will add to your valuable resource on the topic and provide fresh insights that no other KZbin channels - as in literally none that I've found - currently provide. 😉

[@rezaitalia1]

Thank

[@redfield1123]

Finding your videos very informative. Was looking at creating a heatmap chart on sierra , could you tell me will I need package 12 for this? Many Thanks.

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

You can do it with package 11 which has full market depth.

[@kahuna2]

This was fabulous lesson thank you! Question; With Sierra Chart do you add 2 separate volume profile studies to your charts with their own session times defined within each study, or can you do this with one study and still show the day and evening session profiles separately?

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

Yes. Sierra has a built in option for the daily VPs to split them between regular and extended hours.

[@dondrew8319]

Hello, so recently have come across your profile and I’ve been trading for about 4 years now on and off. Had some success but also had some failures. My biggest problem has been being able to spot support and resistance areas more accurately I think using the volume profile could potentially help with that but can you maybe explain how/why you may plot them the way you do?

[@josepholusegun1642]

Appreciate your content, how do i get these softwares? I mean VP and footprints chart. Thanks

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

Most trading platforms offer them. They are just indicators. Trading View does not have footprint charts yet. But most others do.

[@NBS349]

Just used previous day POC and area value low and high that’s it

[@michaelcohen1575]

Does it have to be VWAP? Would SMA , EMA or WMA work with this indiccator? Thanks for this video!

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

You could apply anything. It’s all depending what works for you and your strategies. VWAP i think is the best for day trading futures and what most pros use.

[@desmondjones7643]

So you have to trade the edges of the HVNs. But what do you do when it makes new highs? So if I'm using a 50 day volume profile, I can see the edges of the HVNs. But how do I trade it if it makes a new high and breaks out of the 50 day VP? Since at that point there are not HVNs or LVNs.

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

I just released a video a few weeks ago on how I look for TP levels at ATHs. Look it up in my Educational videos playlist. With the #1 VP rule, you would have to wait for pullback to get in and then just look for new targets using the new HVNs to help manage your trades.

[@desmondjones7643]

@PriceActionVolumeTrader Gotcha thanks. I'll check it out.

[@desmondjones7643]

What timeframe should i use to find HVNs? If i zoom all the way out, there are only a few HVNs and LVNs.

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

It all varies. I’ll try to make a video on this soon to clear it up.

[@desmondjones7643]

@PriceActionVolumeTrader That would he awesome!... for now though, I only intraday trade if that makes a difference.

[@ARTrading-ds9hy]

big thanks

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

No problem!

[@AdaminhoMontana]

a trader i know who is quite successful uses the volume profile of a whole year or even 2 years. then he marks the low volume zones. the more overlaps he finds over this long period of time, the better. do you do something similar? how far back in time does your volume profile go?

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

I look for past confluence swings, but yeah usually my longer term ones are 1-2 years back.

[@cjinvestments2312]

Man yearly volume profile is absolutely awesome … you need to make a backtest on Goldwith yearly VP… you mind will explode😁

[@fredymiltoncottizpereira935]

Buenas tardes. El anterior video que vi de este canal dio la opcion de configurar los subtitulos al idioma español y a otros mas, este video no lo permite, eso lo podrias corregir en este y en todos tus videos que presenten esta anomalia?

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

No se que cambios hizo KZbin pero la opción de subtítulos ya no permite adicionar manualmente idiomas. Creo que ahora detecta automáticamente la locación y seguiré subtítulos así. Voy a fijarme a ver si va hay alguna otra opción disponible.

[@fredymiltoncottizpereira935]

Gracias

[@desmondjones7643]

So you wait until the last 2 hours to trade so the VP is formed. So daily VPs aren't useful in the early day I'm assuming. But how can I trade early? Can I use cumulative VP over the last month or more to find the HVNs and LVNs?

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

In the early session I use as reference the previous session/s profiles. The levels will still hold significance. So if for example market opens at 9:30am and starts dumping, and is coming to the bottom of a HVN from yesterdays session that is a key area to watch, etc.

[@emma_275]

hey! how do you make your volume profile look like this?

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

Just the basic settings from Trading View

[@mpwrtrades]

Wow great stuff! love it Ty! 5Stars *******

[@arelhadi3408]

In crypto markets the SVP also should start at 9:30 or do i start at 00:00?

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

No. Crypto I would start it at the new candle open each day. One single 24 hour session each day.

[@arelhadi3408]

thanks!!!@@PriceActionVolumeTrader

[@PriceActionVolumeTrader]

No problem
