Overview
36 full-color charts built from real one-minute market data, printed large on a 7 10 inch page so every level is easy to read.
Every trading platform can draw a volume profile. Very few traders are taught to read one - or told when it lies. This book does both, on real charts you can check for yourself.
This revised edition was rebuilt from the ground up around the charts. Nearly every concept, every setup, and every failure is shown on an actual dated chart of SPY, IBM, or another real instrument, with the profile drawn beside the price bars on the same scale, and the Point of Control, value area, and trade levels marked. The paperback is printed in full color on a large 7 10 inch page, so each chart has room to be read, and the Kindle edition shows the same charts in full color on color screens and in the Kindle app.
What's inside- 36 full-color charts from real one-minute data, spanning 2022 to 2026 - not drawings, not hypothetical examples
- The vocabulary in one pass: Point of Control, value area, high- and low-volume nodes, naked POCs, and developing versus completed profiles, each labeled on a real chart
- Which profile to build: session, composite, and visible range - and how the wrong window or the wrong hours can move a level by dollars
- Regime first: how to tell a balanced market from a trending one before you trust any level
- Five setups, each summed up on a setup card - context, trigger, entry, stop, and target - and each shown on two real charts: one where it worked and one where it failed
- Confluence done honestly: Anchored VWAP meets naked POC, and why several agreeing indicators can be one idea in disguise
- A full chapter on failure: illiquid stocks, the wrong window, extended hours, where the day starts, and the news gap - each on a real dated chart
- What the data says: a five-year test of the three most popular claims about volume profile levels, reported straight
- Risk sized to survive: position sizing from the profile's own stop, including the buying-power check most books skip
- A one-page written plan and a reference chapter with a cheat sheet and glossary
Most books on volume profile show the setups that worked. This one shows the losers too - real trades that failed, with the warning sign that was visible before the loss. It also tests the tool's biggest claims on five years of SPY data and tells you what held up and what didn't. You'll come away knowing what the profile really gives you: a clear record of where the market did business, a regime filter, and a logical place for your stop and target.
Who it's forTraders with some screen time who trade stocks, ETFs, or index futures and want depth rather than a first introduction. The examples use SPY and IBM so you can check every level on any stock chart.
Part of The Technical Indicator Series by Dean Cross. Pairs naturally with VWAP for Beginners and Anchored VWAP.
