Next, there is some value to understanding the DAILY OPEN TYPES and use it to leverage potential opportunities in terms of how the rest of the day might play out. https://t.co/3jCow6Qcim
- Open Drive
- Open Test Drive
- Open Rejection Reverse
- Open Auction
Let's dive in to the characteristics of each daily open type.
OPEN DRIVE- DETAILS IN IMAGES
Price opens above or below the previous day’s value area and moves in an aggressive/directional manner.
Anecdotally speaking, these typically seem to get reversed from previous significant levels (e.g. previous day VAH). Use w/ context.
OPEN TEST DRIVE- DETAILS IN IMAGE
Same as an open drive i.e., open above or below the previous day value area. The differentiating factor is that price tests a support/resistance level before reversing for a directional move.
OPEN REJECTION REVERSE - DETAILS IN IMAGE
As the name suggests, market opens w/ one-sided movement reaches a significant level and reverses.
OPEN AUCTION - DETAILS IN IMAGE
Low volatility + market opens within previous value area and previous days high-low range indicates market is balancing = rotational plays. God knows we've been getting a lot of these lately....

Market profile anomalies are of significance because they are "asymmetric" structures within the profile caused by an unfinished auction leading to them being revisited often and can be leveraged by the informed trador.
A list of market profile anomalies include:
1. BUYING & SELLING TAILS
Can be used to play reversals (in conjunction w/ utilizing orderflow via footprint charts) especially if the buy/sell tail is falling into significant levels such as untested PoC (naked PoC), key support/resistance levels etc (see images for details).
Ever wonder what those weird looking distribution charts are that look nothing like candlestick charts?
Wut meanz?
Enter Market Profile/Time-Price Opportunity (TPO), a framework that can help traders to map the environment.
A Case to Utilize TPO Charts - (A SHORT THREAD)
TPOs are characterized by letters that mark 30 minute periods. Instead of candles, letters from the alphabets are used to represent each 30 minute session.
The essential goal is to understand where price is spending time.
Time, Volume and Price = Complete Picture of the Mawket
The Initial Balance (IB) is the first two TPOs i.e. the first two 30-minute candles of the day.
The IB isn't as significant compared to trad. markets since crypto is 24/7. That being said, 12 AM UTC is when the IB is marked on the chart.
Do you believe market makers are hunting your stops?
Why does it feel like most of your trades get stopped out before price reverts in the other direction leaving you at the train station?
Let's talk about it, as briefly as possible.
LIQUIDITY & "STOP-RUNS" (A SHORT THREAD)
Market making is a delta-neutral strategy that is based on providing liquidity to the market.
MMs make their money when the "spread" is tight.
The ideal situation for a market maker is to provide liquidity in a low volatility environment.
Market Makers prefer doing their business in tight ranging environments. In simple words, volatility and "stop runs" are the least favorable situations for MMs.
I know...time to rethink the "market makers are hunting my stops" narrative.
