Completed Profile:

 

Dotted line is at 1700- the time the profile is calculated. That means all lines except for the blue lines (Initial Balance Extensions) are done prior to today's trading.

 

Check out how price move within these areas before the break out.

 

Of note is the new green line. This is the VWAP. Thanks to Jperl for the idea. Obviously this is a static version rather than dynamic one. It is based on a 30 min chart. So this was the Volume Weighted Average Price as of 1700.

 

The blue lines are done after the first hour of trading (opening range=initial balance). If I was trading ACD, these would be my Aup and Adn levels. However, they are just extensions 1.1765*OR+ORH or ORL-1.1765*OR. Some may be familiar with the extension as OR/.85 same thing.

 

This was not a trade, but very interesting to see:

 

Note the No Demand just after 1700 hrs @ 1715. Price is closing outside of the Value Area (DRH-DRL). Three bars later we are back into the Value Area. Price moves all the way to the other side and beyond. Hitting the POC of the previous day (so even with this sell off, this will not be a Naked POC). Price moves down and gets rejected at the RRL (lower purple line). After that, the VWAP really contains price as does the ERL (lower dark purple line). Note the Squat as price tries to move up which ends up forming a tweezer pattern. Then note the No Demand/UpThrust bar. The top of this candle is just inside the Value Area. Yesterday's Value is truly being rejected on last time before the bottom falls out.

Very interesting.

 

First, I need to give more props to Jperl and his threads on VWAP. If you have not looked at them, it's your loss. One interesting thing he mentions is the idea of skew. I will not get into it here, except to say that zero skew would mean that the VWAP and the POC (PVP as Jperl calls it) would be the same. So what does that mean to me? Well, take a look at the chart below.

 

All the pivot lines have converged to the POC. In other words, only the POC can be seen. This happens when the range is narrow, the close is in the middle and price was evenly distributed. Take another look at those last two words: Evenly distributed. Now, an even distribution of volume and price should result in near zero to zero skew. Notice how close the VWAP is to the POC. We have almost no skew. Put another way, the VWAP and the POC are 1 pip off from being the same.

 

The orange line above Yesterday's high is a Naked POC. Wed did not make it back up to the POC so we now have a Naked POC. The blue line is a 2 day VWAP. As stated before, the narrowness of the profile (one line) should mean that tomorrow will be more volatile. Not so coincidently, tomorrow (Thursday) is rate decision time for the ECB.

Hi, becareful ! the POC (market price distribution) is not the same thing that the PVP (market volume distribution).

Totally differents (sometimes are possibility near).

 

So poc near vwap, not no skew.

 

bye

 

It is in my world but thanks.

ok, it 's simply not to merge with the very good job of jerry cause the poc have got nothing to do with volumes so the vwap too.

 

Thanks.

 

Key terms:

 

1. Initial balance - market activity in the first hour

2. Range extension - price action extending beyond the initial balance

3. Range - range from high to low

4. Single print buying tails - any single print TPO's at the lower extreme of the profile

5. Single print selling tails - any single print TPO's at the upper extreme of the profile

6. Point of control (POC) - price level of most volume. POC indicates an area of greatest market activity

7. TPO - stands for Time Price Opportunity. Letters are used to build the market profile structure. Each letter represents a half hour period. The letter is also known as the TPO.

8. Value area - price range in which approximately 70% of the market volume took place.

9. Value high - the upper pivot of the value area

10. Value low - the lower pivot of the value area

 

Please see #6.

A big error : the point of control of Dalton, of the MP, is the price level of most trades, so the most TPO. The volumes are not in this distribution.

See "mind over market" but i am sure.

 

Too, the pvp (or highest level volume) is the price level of most volume.

Hi,

 

from my point of view, the problem with the POC is, that you have to use it in the context of the profile you are looking at.

This should mean, if you are looking at a volume profile the POC is a V(olume)POC.

If you are looking at a time profile the POC is a T(ime)POC.

 

So without a context, one can't say that a POC contains volume information.

This is only true for a volume context.

 

Just my thought on it.

Where's the beef?

Is there a reason that pivotprofiler has deleted his attached charts?

 

Same in the VSA thread... Nice going...

I hate to see traderslab catching the disease of other forums.

No, the true poc is in the price distribution, the true pvp or hvl is in the volume distribution.

 

No discuss possible !:crap:

Well, I agree with you, that the true POC is related to price distribution.

 

I further agree that #6 (see above) is wrong in my view.

 

But what is price distribution in a MP.

As far as I understand it, it is price in time, not price in trades :confused:.

 

So the true POC, based on 30 min bars, it gives you no information about volume or number of trades.

 

But anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, and as long as the context is clear,

we shouldn't have a problem if somebody uses POC instead of PVP.

But yes, PVP is the better choice if we talk in volume context.

Ah OK for the poc (price in time) and pvp (volume), as mister Dalton, steidlmayer and mister Jerry.

 

But, the system of Jerry (Jperl), the Market Statistics based vwap, pvp and price need NOT poc, not Market Profile (VA, IB, vpoc....) so why use the poc ? sometimes poc and pvp are near but precaution !:doh: but not so often as it.;)

 

The market profile is totaly different of the market statistics, so why mix the both systems ?:confused: unless showing a relation between two. ;)

 

For me, there is two great schools:

1-Price needs volume to fluctuate.

2-Price is self-sufficient in itself, doesn't much matter volumes.

 

And I think it is necessary to choose its school. Afterwards, some, a lot in fact, everything blend and matter what and we know all result. (forgiveness for my orthography, again)

FWIW have recently spent some time with Jim Dalton at a session he did for a group NYMEX traders and he stated that the use of either time based or volume based POC didn't make a much of a difference. He personally used VPoC in his day to day trading.

 

Use of either shouldn't make too much of a difference in leveraging MP. Lets not miss the forest for the trees......

I can no longer see the charts as well, but sometimes that happens when a webserver is very busy. Give it a couple of hours and try again.

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
