ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Seven years ago I started trading and the core reason I've been able to "make the turn" and do this full-time is I was introduced to a strategy called Volume Profile.
If you are trading and do not have a specific system then I highly recommend you explore Volume Profile. Since I've started applying this methodology, my trading results dramatically improved and had a direct positive impact on my life too.
Sierra Charts definitions are now available to clients only. If you want to explore how to become a client, book a pressure-free discovery call with my team here: go.tradacc.com/discovery

00:00​ Foundational reason why I can trade full time
04:15 Volume Profile was the first thing that made sense
06:10 What is a Volume Profile & Why it’s important

NEED HELP?
Are you day trading and looking for a trading strategy and technical indicators that you can rely on for the long term?
After trying them all, I've realized that you actually need ZERO technical indicators to have an edge in the market. All you really need is the Volume Profile, the only charting tool in the world used by professionals that provides real-time market-generated information.
Trading with the Volume Profile is what allows me to generate $500/$1000 on average in daily profits.

Great detailed video on volume profile. Your video is the best I have seen in the past 3 years about volume profile. I only used it until today as Support and Resistance. I also had it setup up/down volume and not a total volume, and Ticks per row instead of Volume per row. These settings finally make sense and are useful. I have never seen someone use it to trade live intaday other than for validation/confirmation for S/R. I wonder who invented on the volume profile... There aren't any good books out there for sure.

[@rahulrajendran1802]

Really appreciate your contents in this video. 👏👏 But does Volume Profile has a significant role in current market ? I mean in 2020. Because at the time when this tool/concept was introduced, trading systems were not so trasparent. Today, while we have many analysis tools and newly introduced concepts in market along with a choppy market than older days, does Volume Profile work well?

[@zerofox2046]

Very nice presentation!

[@korbstrading]

Thank you 🍻

[@kentnimmo7369]

i just decided to try using the market profile today I think it might be the missing piece of my trading method. hearing him talk about it the way he is makes me feel more convinced of that. after watching a few videos and doing a little back testing I just keep thinking why the hell havent I been using this all along. its like I am seeing the same things I always see but much clearer and with more conviction. i think that the more experienced you are with technical analysis the more the market profile will just click because you have been seeing it in the price action it just wasnt up on the chart.

"on range days, look to take trades when price is outside of the VAL or VAH and play reversion to the mean setups when price comes back in and starts accepting the VAL or VAH" and "when price expands and POC starts to move with it, then you can be suggest that the move is strong"

on the video at 22 mins where u use again Brent and it opens up in a strong trend .. when and where do you enter a position? You see the prices going up and volume increasing and then POC follows but when do you get on board?

[@korbstrading]

This will depend on the product you are trading. If you are watching crude I have a great play based on the .50 pullback. Use that for information only and do your own research. When we open in a drive on CL the 50% happens frequently. I wait for the pullback and grab it. Very simple, very powerful 👍🏼

Thanks..... but when try.... find a big problem..... depende of the number bars set up to get the 70% volume..... the area move a lot, so the target area to expect that price will move inside is complete difference....... have you pay attention about it?. How you resolve it?

[@korbstrading]

The larger a profile is, the more weight the value area will hold. I.e. if I’m looking at a daily profile that starts at 9:30 am by 11:00 am it’s only been around for 90 minutes. I will not put much weight on that value area. If your value area is changing fast and often, you more than likely need to expand the time or amount of bars that the profile includes. This will add addition volume to the profile and you can put more weight on it
