Just realized I need to study more of market profile. I know of a bond trader who trades using a MP chart only. Is this what you do as well? Or do you combine both a candlestick or bart chart with a market profile chart?
Although I've studied Candlestick charts before, I prefer using bar charts. I find candlesticks to be too bulky and the bar charts provide the same info anyway. I use daily and composite Market Profile graphics during my nightly preparation. During the trading session, I'm looking at a bar chart with the S/R levels already plotted on them and a graphic of the developing daily Market Profile. I also look at volume, Ticks, breadth, TRIN, and bid/ask info.
