Volume Profile is an extremely valuable and versatile technical analysis tool that is used by trader’s all over the world. There are Numerous trading strategies out there using Volume Profile as a key component. One thing that many traders will use volume profile for is identifying basic support and resistance levels. To do this, the trader relies on, and analyses, past price movements and volume behavior.

Below are just a few more basic examples of how a trader might utilize volume profile techniques..
– If the current day opens above the previous day’s value area (but still below the Previous Day’s Profile High) look for price to retrace back towards the Previous Days Point of Control and then proceed to rise again in the original direction of the current day’s open.
– If the current day opens below the previous day’s value area (but still above the Previous Day’s Profile Low) look for price to retrace back towards the Previous Days Point of Control and then proceed to fall again in the original direction of the current day’s open.
– If the current day’s opening price is completely outside of the previous day’s profile (above the Previous Profile High or below the Previous Profile Low) this can be seen as a possible strong trend and/or runner in the direction of the current opening price relative to the previous day’s profile range.

Ton of customizability….EX: you can face all previous days profiles towards the right and have today’s session pointing left as to easily distinguish current day, adjust POC, VA area, previous close, low volume area colors….etc. A lot of design thought went into this indicator with a traders view point. Installation, setup a breeze , tech support is patient and accommodating. I’ve recommend looking at Steve’s site for new products.
