This afl is very heavy on cpu use ..so i dont prefer it on day trade, some one might think its useful so posting it

Hi taq.. thanks for addition, now on will surely explain along with the charts plz feel free to ask where u get stuck Hi mahesh i hand written poc vah,val area on the chart, my afl also dont plot it, for me its sufficient as its very obvious to eye ..but i prefer 30 tf for day trades and i dont depend on my poc and value areas to stop order my trades, so i am afraid i might not be any help on your issue, other TL members might help you .. split profile i posted is handwritten with the help of calculator and later i patch it all together to get the feel of how market unfolds.

Heart of the market profile is to gather market generated information... this question still there..whether the market generated information is three dimensional i.e. price, volume and time ? or four dimensional price,volume,time and volatility in context of option open interest ? specifically in India option market isnt much developed..so smart money always take position in option ( mostly option writing, as math of probability skewed towards option writers ) and based on option value is VIX which also indicates fear in the market... shall one discretionary trader include those points in market generated information ?

Nifty Split profile. market open time frame 'D'

Last hour sell of from point of control with heavy volume along with shading in open interest in put option, all signifies bearishness, most put writing happen at 2500 level, which indicates next potential support zone. Alex

Today Nifty Future ( NF) open down, trading within previous day's price range, but value area shifted downwards..at the moment profile looks 'balanced ' , if failed to close within previous value area ten signifies further weakness with weekly profile skewed towards elongated one. Alex

value area ( weekly, in green and blue ) shifted downwards,..now at virgin territory which signifies a bearish territory. longer time frames which were active at 2775 zone now moved down at 2656, open interest put call ratio ( use as additional tool for volume information ) down to 1.59

Hi, didnt able to post last night, got bz with few things so pardon me .. To understand the market perfectly yesterday's Market Profile is very important, especially if you are a day trader, it gives a referral point..here is the list of to do list to prepare for next day market open, as said in first post there are no shortcuts to understand the principal -how market behaves -in contextualize way. 1>Review yesterday’s profile for clues as to what to expect today. Make a note of possible trades, based on varying developments. 2> Review the overnight markets for any unusual price movement or early indications for the day. 3> Compare the expected opening to the previous day. Is it within or outside the previous day’s range? Value area? To the upside or downside? 4> Relative to the expected opening, identify three references points, both above and below the expected opening. These could be the previous day’s high and low, weekly high or low, the top and bottom of the previous day’s value area, or the high or low of a recent trading range. (There is no set answer—you should be guided by your past observations of where price slowed or accelerated, as well as past areas of heavy or light volume.) 5> Note what kind of opening is occurring, as well as what you’d want to see in order to quickly judge the resulting directional confidence. 6> Note whether or not there is clear attempted direction, and whether that activity is supported by volume. 7> Does the market appear to be within balance or out of balance? 8> Visualize the remainder of the day. Will it look elongated, squat, fairly normal like a bell-shaped curve, and the like. Note any unusual shapes or patterns that may suggest something unexpected is happening. 9> Estimate how much effort is being expended to move price directionally, and note what that suggests about the inventory conditions of your competitors—too long, too short, above water, below water, etc. 10> If there is a major news announcement scheduled, be aware that there could be unexpected volatility. Let the market provide short-term interpretation of resulting activity by observing developing structure. Unless the day-timeframe structure is extremely strong and unlikely to be reversed by such an announcement, we recommend that day traders be flat in front of significant numbers.
