Dear sir,
I am new to this web but find it has a lot of useful information. I have a few questions to ask :

1) I have learned Market profile in a few months, read all the books about it. However I do not know how to use it in real time trading. I notice that you mainly use its VAH and VAL to trade. Do you just use it ? How about Single print and POC ? In addition, do you need to watch the Market Profile develpement in real time ?

2) Are you a scalper ? What is your daily goal and how many trade you would need to take evey day ?

3) What is your basic trading methodolgy ? If you trade only Support and Resistance , why you need to do homework before market open ?

I am sorry to bring you so much question
THANKS
I use market profile to help me understand market concept. In order to apply it to real-time trading you need to start practicing with it. You will eventually feel comfortable applying it into your methodology.

1. I watch VAH and VAL as well as any cluster points. Do a quick search for "pivot point clusters" and you'll find a good amount of threads on this topic.

2. I am not a scalper. I like to place 2-5 trades a day at high probability trading points.

3. I do my homework to identify these high probability trading levels as well as understanding the language of the markets. The homework allows me to create a trading plan or a roadmap for the trading day. Trading blind is a sure way to lose.

What else besides do you use market profile? I ask because I think traders combine a set of methodology that do not work well together.
