dhivyalakshmy,
You can start by reading market in profile. go to www.cisco-futures.com
Imho it is not that hard to lean but putting it into practice takes some time.
I tried ninja with finag and it worked as was advertised. But I find I can do more with ensign windows. also check out www.enthios.com he post live trades setups using MP most days. also ensingsoftware has chat rooms with people using Mp and other stuff. try the bline room. its free. hope it helps trading is hard work that you got to love.

I have been following this thread from its start with interest. I am currently using eSignal w/ Market Profile and am less then impressed with their charts. As a result I was in the process of switching over to NinjaTrader until I looked at Investor/RT (as a result of this thread). Whilst NT may be free to start you must pay a license fee ($795 for single broker/$995 multi) if you go active. Though I initially liked NT I have had a couple instances of it crashing. The last time this happened it deleted any indicators I had off my charts - I was not impressed. This meant I had to rebuild them.

I've just started to evaluate Investor/RT and it certainly looks to be a powerful piece of software. All the indicators you could possibly want appear to be there. Setting them up the way want seems to be far more intuitive then NT.

I'm also definitely impressed with the looks of Market Profile. For anyone who has done Don Jones' Market Profile course at www.cisco-futures.com the Market Profile package in Investor/RT looks to mirror his material very closely. For this reason alone I am leaning strongly to Investor.

I would much appreciate feedback from anyone who is currently using Investor/RT and how you find the software.

Nice new MP for Ninja...its getting there at least.
dValueArea in the file sharing part of the ninja forum.

Looks pretty nice although it seems to be doing some weird split as far as having 2 profiles a day.

Good catch. Though it is probably worth repeating that the FinAlg package is absolutely excellent for the couple of hundred bucks (or whatever it is) that it costs. Mind you this looks good.....the big question will it work correctly on historical data? Yeah i know wait for NT 7.0.

Edit: looking closely at he chart I would guess yes....looks like it is averaging volume across a bar.

True, I don't want to take anything away from Finalg. That is certainly the king for MP on ninja. The only reason I haven't bought it is because you can't modify the code. It does suck his stuff is all locked because he certainly appears to be the ninja master.

Dath: I agree finalg is a nice program for splitting and merging. But thats all it does and thats not really enough for me. any one Considering It should demo it for the free demo period. http://www.fin-alg.com/tpo_BETA.html hope it helps.
