I've recently read 'One Good Trade' by Mike Bella and have a few thoughts/questions I'd be keen to discuss with anyone else who has read it or who...
Initial Balance is defined as the first hour or whatever of trading. This is completely arbitrary when applied to today's markets, but back when...
I've taken some time to read through market-profile books and from what I've managed to extract by skimming through the relevant books, the...
Hey tommo, good to have you posting in the thread. From what I've seen at prop shops, when people say that, they're usually referring to orders...
I've noticed this too. I wonder why it's so much more common in Europe (and elsewhere) for people to sit in-front of futures DOMs than in the US?...
Some good posts here from Bone & qlai. Similar to Bone, I don't think it's one thing that'll allow you to master any market, but it can be useful...
Out of curiosity, how do you avoid getting filled other than quoting less if you need to sit x ticks away constantly? And re: hedging it off, is...
Curious given what you're saying, what was/is impact on liquidity if there are no 'daytraders'? and any other interesting impacts on market structure?
I've been doing some reading lately on the concepts behind this charting method (profile) and the only meaning of 'price control' I seemed to find...

What would be your reasoning behind segmenting by volume? And on what reasoned basis would you pick one quantity of volume over another?

I think that's optional. If you find you enjoy trading products you're interested in for reasons other than speculation/intraday pricing...
Good reply. I agree that maybe it's best to just pick one timezone and stick with it in order to maintain a healthy schedule. A few other ideas:...
I assume by 'fixed time' you mean intervals for the profile set by the market open/closes? And what's 'volume segmentation'? And 'time...
My understanding is it tries to emphasize one other dimension of markets that is less looked at: time. On a standard chart we do see volume,...
You're right that it's on whoever is making the claim to prove that there's value in observing volumes. There's no wisdom in volume itself, but...
Thank you for sharing this. A few follow up questions to you or anyone else here: Given this view of what market profile is for, what is it that...
Why do so many directional futures traders seem to lean on this 'market profile' and almost no stock traders do? I'm guessing that with the...
Hi guys, Just curious if anyone has given any thought to ways to adjust to 24/7 markets generally (apart from staying up 24/7)? One of the...
