12 Simple Concepts of Market Profile

>>> Thread 🧡<<<

(1/N)
Market Profile is a technical concept with a unique charting technique developed by Peter Steidlmayer in 1985.

Market profile is a style of plotting "Price" on the Y-axis and "Time" on the X-axis, which most of the time form a bell-shaped image as the body of the profile

(2/N)
Market Profile helps day traders identify Other Timeframe Participants (Big players) who have money and information power.

Our job as short-term traders is to follow these big sharks which give direction to markets.

(3/N)
Each 30-min is designated by a letter, which is also called Time Price Opportunity (TPO)

We denote the first 30 min range with letter β€˜A,’ next 30 min with the letter β€˜B,’ and we continue this until the end

β€˜O’ is open price level & β€˜#’ indicates the closing price level

(4/N)
The last range is denoted with β€˜M’ as the Indian markets has the last session β€˜M' is for only 15 minutes

This charting in Market Profile is called β€˜Split’ profile, and pushing these TPOs on the left side (wherever space is present) will create the β€˜Un-Split’ profile

(5/N)
Point of Control (POC) is the price level in which maximum time was spent on any day.

In this image 9980 is the point of control (POC).

Value Area (VA) is the 70% price range around POC.

Range from 9958 to 9992 is the Value Area (VA) on this day.

(6/N)
WHY MARKET PROFILE?

Many traders don’t understand the importance of TIME on both the price and opportunity level

This image shows the same unit of TIME is allocated for both 42 points move and 120 points move

It indicates we are not using the time parameter effectively

(7/N)
Now, look at the same day in a market profile chart in this image.

It is evident that the TIME has been allocated effectively based on the price variations.

It gives a 3D view of the price auction with respect to time.

(8/N)
DAY STRUCTURES IN MARKET PROFILE

IB Range is the first 1-hour range in the market.

Based on IB range & price variation around IB range, MP identifies 6 day structures:

Market Profile vs Volume Profile

MP - Total TPOs counts will be used to calculate the Value Area of the Day. Price profile is also referred to as TPO profile

VP - It is based on the turnover (Qty x Price). POC determined through volume profile will be the same as VWAP

I was at a coffee meeting with 5 close friends last week.

One person was on a strict diet, and I was curious to see how she would react at the table (as she can't deny coffee with close friends).

"You guys order; I will take a sip from each cup,"

she said.
I was surprised and also happy about her smart move!

We may not realize many things, but our actions say much more about us than our words!

Here are 7 triggers to manage Trading Psychology!

You take a LONG trade at open

Price moved upside, & you made some profits

After some time, the price started to come down

Now you don't know whether it is a TEMPORARY PULLBACK or a COMPLETE REVERSAL

5 Effective Ways to Know about it!

(1/N)

Thread 🧡🧡

#trading #StockMarket Image
#1 Look at Open Action

Open action (9.15-9.45) plays a crucial role in the day.

The presence of strong buyers indicates it is just a pullback.

The absence of strong buyers indicates a high possibility of reversal!

(2/N) ImageImage
#2 Look at the Last 2 Days' Price Action

The last 2-3 days' market sentiment plays a crucial role in the current day.

If it is positive, then there is a high possibility that the price is just showing a temporary pullback (and not a complete reversal).
