Aaron, you just opened my eyes up to volume profile like never before, I'm familiar with VP, but I've never understood how powerful using it can be!

[@korbstrading]

Love to hear that. Happy Trading

Thanks brother. I have been a student of volume from last 4 years but learned something new today. Many blessing to your way

[@korbstrading]

Love to hear that! Never stop learning 🙌🏼

[@rules20x0]

Do you trade intraday or use vp for swings?

[@adilhussain4894]

Session VP is for intraday and fixed Range / visible range are better for swings.

[@kingdemon4236]

Why can't it be a buy here and sell here? Like you need to have some kind of an entry into the trade, you do need to buy somewhere and you do need to sell somewhere.

[@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?

[@itm_randy]

"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"

[@julioc4978]

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. PS You should write a book Thank you

I have a question: which volume profile do I use? prior day, current day, or a composite? I recall the “naked tractor beam” uses prior day. Thank you and keep the awesome videos!!! 😀🙏💥👏

[@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.

[@korbstrading]

[@konstantinDgospodinov]

I don't fully understand this - which market do you trade? Is this information accurately displayed and collected? FX is decentralized there's no way to know the global volume but maybe per exchange it's doable? What are thoughts

I am only 4 min into this video, but loving it!

This is an excellent video. Big fan of your trading style.

[@bluepearl411]

I noticed you was using this on Stocks & commodities. Can you also use this on the Forex Market. If so I would like to get some more information in reference to it. Will you be doing another video or is there any information that you could send me or post in reference to the Forex Market

[@korbstrading]

Hey Don, I only focus on Futures. VP can be used with forex but it would need to be different from what I do!! 🍻🍻

[@rainmaker1011]

I believe since the VP develops with price, using developing VP to define entry/exit levels is not really possible. Until the VP is closed (end of session) you cannot really say where the VA is, where the VAL/H is. It can change within one move. Post videos with live trading to prove thr system. Analyzing it retrospectively does not bring value. Thx

[@sonofman70x7]

I agree. Seems to be another lagging, repainting indicator.

[@clivedenpress690]

And also I cannot find the link on how to set this all up? where is it? whats the link please? thank you

[@SunilSethi]

This is what I am married to. Sometimes, I even don’t see at candles. I trade near POC, and most of time it works.

[@laeconomistablockchain8177]

Hi! What time frame do you use it?

[@SunilSethi]

@@laeconomistablockchain8177 For long position, I start with 1 year, then 6 months and then 3 months. Sometimes I also check one month to see either POC is created lower the current price, it gives me signal that buying is coming and I can take my short position/swing trade and if price continues to rise as well POC, that is a bullish signal. I set my stop losses accordingly. If you are looking for intraday, I use 1 minute and 3 minutes. Although I am not a day trader. Thank you.

[@GregHohman]

Extremely helpful man! On a mean reversion day, would you take something off at VWAP? POC? or hold all till VAH in this case?

[@korbstrading]

I would be cautious of getting in around the middle of Value on those less direction days.

[@co.flying.dude9]

That was really helpful actually. I'll now proceed to watch all your videos...

[@cryptocratml1136]

I started to follow your videos. I'm a novice trader compared with you only but for cryptos. I saw you like that sector too. However for 24/7 markets there are no opening ours and understanding how the day will go. I do believe like you that markets is a gigantic auction house and volume shows many hidden factors. I try to use Renko's to filter noise and apply ATR and Volume Profile together with Weis theory. So far i have a lot to cover. Do you have something to suggest based on all these ?

[@jordicp1613]

Weis theory? Sorry that souns new to me 😅

I would say that's a very stupid and ignorant comment. I'll tell you what, you pull up a chart and draw your fair-value gaps and orderblocks. Then add the volume profile to the chart and make the value of your VP around 200. Then tell me what you see.

Hey there! Sierra Chart supports all types of markets - stocks, futures, indexes, currencies/forex and options. However, in our program, the focus is on the Futures market and intraday trading: holding positions for minutes or hours. Swing trading (holding positions overnight) is an alternative that can work but it’s not specifically covered in the program.We also provide all the tutorials and custom tools to have the charts set up exactly like Korbs. You can find more information about our program by going to the links on the description box☝ We recommend watching the below Korbs' videos about the topic.

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.

Rah Saal Good question! The Value Area will always be 70% of all trades that have happened. You always know the VA. Now, early in the session your VA will not be reliable because it can change fast. You need to let the day develop before leaning on a intraday VA as it is forming.
