The ONLY Volume Profile Trading Guide You'll Ever Need!

have you ever looked at the chart and wondered what is really happening behind the surface and this video I'll show you how to uncover the hidden truth behind Market moves using volume profile we'll break down the four most important volume profile shapes which is the d-shaped profile the p-shaped profile the B shaped profile and thin profile and discover what they reveal about the Market sentiment about institutional activity and most importantly about key trading opportunities which you can take advantage of you learn exactly how to trade each shape effectively how to spot areas of high probability trades and how to track the footprints of big institutional Traders plus I'll share with you my favorite trading setup so let's get started and let's start with a little quiz so you can see where you are at right now so here's the first question take a look at this profile right here and tell me is the price going to go up or down let me show you the price after a little rotation went downwards and the reason was that this profile was a b shaped profile which is telling us that sellers are in control and that they are pushing the price downwards right so let's go for the next one for the next question so if you spot this on the chart then what your plan for the next day should be what is the plan for tomorrow what is the key area to trade from tomorrow so the key area to trade from here was this significant volume cluster which formed within this downtrend this is something which is called a thin profile and those volume clusters are very important especially in thin profile and as you can see the price reacted very nicely to it all right so that's how you trade the thin profile now here's the next question if you see something like this what should you expect the market to do tomorrow let me show you because this was a d-shaped profile you expect the market to rotate and to react to this Zone and to this zone so it should be short from here and along from here now here is the last one take a look at this volume profile the shape of this volume profile right here what should you expect to happen the next day should the price go up or should the price go down this one is tricky this is a tricky question let me show you it was tricky because this profile corresponds with the letter P but it is not actually a proper P shap profile because the price is closing below 50% of the daily range and that's why in this case price didn't go up as it should after a proper P shap profile but it went downwards now if you guys haven't understood anything of what I just showed you then don't worry there's nothing to be afraid of you are here to learn and I'm here to help you and I can promise you that by the end of this video you'll perfectly understand what I have just showed you and you'll be able to immediately put this into action now I haven't properly introduced myself so let me do that uh very briefly now I'm Dale and uh I've been trading since 2008 I found it my website which is Trader Dale website around 8 years ago and on my website I teach Traders how to trade with volume profile with orlow and with uh VAB I wrote four books on trading the first one that's the volume profile book the second one that's orlow book then there's the V up book and book about Stock Investing but the main reason why you should trust me and spend your time with me is because I deliver results and you can check that yourself since 2016 I've been publishing trade predictions on trading view by now I have made almost 1,500 predictions there and if you go through them you will see that in the long run my strategy has 67% win rate without any money management position management nor any special rules now you might think that 67% win rate is not that special because many people claim to have more than that right but can you show me a person who can predict in advance where exactly the market will turn and do that consistently for 9 years apart from checking my trade predictions you can also take a look at what our members have to say about our service either on trust pilot where we have many Fantastic reviews majority of them five star reviews or if you prefer a video that then you can check out our website and some video testimonials there all right still with me so let's talk about volume profile now volume profile is a professional trading tool and not many retail Traders are actually using it but many professionals do use it and the reason it is so unique is it is allowing us to track the big trading institutions and we track them through volumes volume profile tracks the volumes right and if you look at volume profile then the wider the volume profile the more everybody was interested in trading in that particular level the volume profile can have many different shapes depending on how volumes are distributed throughout the day and now I'd like to show you how volume profile is calculated or drawn in real time and then we'll take a close look at the main volume profile shapes so this is the start of the day where a new volume profile starts to calculate the wide parts of the volume profile show where a lot of trading happened meaning those prices had high interest and the thin parts of the volume profile show well little trading happened meaning those prices were not very popular as you can see this is Shifting as more and more trading is taking place so this is how volume profile is getting formed it can form different shapes but there are four basic shapes which are most common and now we are going to take a closer look at each one of them so on my screen here you can see the four main shapes the d-shaped profile corresponding with the letter D then there's the b-shaped profile which corresponds with the letter B the p-shaped profile which looks like letter P and then there's the thin profile which looks simply like a thin profile now obviously the shape of the profile won't always be perfect like in the picture right sometimes you'll need to use your imagination a bit to be able to tell which one of those four basic shapes of profile you are actually looking at so let's now take a look at the four volume profile shapes what they tell us and most importantly how we trade them so this is the d-shaped profile and it corresponds with the letter D it has a heavy volume Zone here usually very close to the middle and low volumes around the edges it forms when there's a rotation and actually this is the most common volume profile because rotations happen very very often often in the market if you look at any charts then you'll start noticing that uh most of the time it's just rotation I would say like maybe 70% of the time the market is in a rotation right and the rest is the trends and strong rejections but most of the time the market is in a rotation and in a rotation there's a d shaped profile right so you'll see that mostly in a rotation and in cases or the price is going sideways the most important places in the d-shaped profile is the point of control that's the place where the heaviest volumes are traded and also those little bumps those little volume bumps in a low volume zone so those are important as well right now what the dhap profile is telling us about the market it can tell us two things about the Market either the market is in a balance as you can see on this chart right here the price is in a rotation here in a consolidation and there are those d-shaped profiles right so this is balance sellers and buyers are currently content with the current price buyers and sellers are both happy to be trading around this Zone and they consider it a fair price right so d-shaped profile means balance it can also mean end or pause of a trend so if you look here there was an uptrend and after the uptrend a d-shaped profile formed so buyers were no longer more aggressive than sellers but there was a balance and this balance could mean either pause of the trend or that the trend just ended right so when you see a d-shaped profile it means the market is in balance or if this is after a trend then it is very likely that the trend has just ended or paused now how do we trade the dhap profile as I was saying saying the main areas with the d-shaped profile is the point of control that's the place where the heaviest volumes are traded and then the little bumps in the low volume Zone those volume bumps right now this volume bumps represent support and resistance zones the one at the top that's a resistance the one at the bottom that's support and the price likes to react to them right so that's how you trade the d-shaped profile Longs from here shorts from here and ideal take profit is the point of control in this case it is sort of hard to tell because there's heavy volume Zone here and also heavy volume Zone here but most often the d-shaped profile actually has the point of control somewhere around the middle and that's usually a good takeprofit for those trades all right so when you see a d-shaped profile the market is in a rotation and you want to go short from the higher border of the rotation and long from the bottom border of the rotation all right by the way you guys can check out the volume profile book there are more examples more details complete set of rules to how to trade uh this shape of the volume profile and also the other shapes of the volume profile so uh you can download the book below this video there's a link you can download the book uh for free or if you guys want a printed version then you can go to Amazon and order it there I'll drop a link below this video as well so you can check it out all right uh let's go to the shapes here is the p-shaped profile it looks like letter P it has a heavy volume Zone at the top and low volume Zone at the bottom now it can form two ways either a rejection of lower prices like this the price is going downwards then there is a strong rejection buyers start to jump in and push the price upward so this is a rejection of lower prices or the P shap profile can also form when there's an uptrend right heavy volumes are shifting upwards and at the top of the profile there is this heavy volume zone so this is how the p-shaped profile can form the most important places in a p-shaped profile is the place where the volumes were the heaviest that's the point of control and also a volume bump which is created in the low volume zone so this would be the volume bump right here with the other example the point of control is here and in here there are more of those volume bumps uh the most prominent one is this one then there's also this one and this one all those could represent a strong levels to tr trade from now what the b-shaped profile is telling us about the market again two things either uptrend or end of a downtrend so if you looking here at this picture then if you look at the daily profiles then they all almost all look like a letter P this means that volumes are shifting Higher and Higher and we are in a strong uptrend right volumes are shifting so when you see a p-shaped profile then you know that buyers are active now it can also mean an end of a downtrend so if you look here there's a downtrend the price is dropping but suddenly there's a b-shaped profile and as I was saying p-shaped profile means buyers right and if you see buyers after a downtrend then it could mean the end of the downtrend right so P profile means uptrend or end of a downtrend in either case when you see a p shap profile then it means buyers all right now let me show you how to trade the b-shaped profile so as I was saying the two most important places in a p-shaped profile is point of control and the little volume bump in the low volume zone so let's take a look at this pshape profile right here this is the point of control so that's support the price makes pullback to it you go long from there and this is the trade that you take and then there is this little volume bump and this is also a support that means when the price makes pull back to that support you go long from there from this little volume bump this volume bump even though the volumes are not so heavy here represents a place where buyers stepped in and started to buy aggressively right so even though the volumes are not too heavy here that level is actually important now there is one thing that you need to know about the p-shaped profile and one thing that you need to be careful about um there are two examples here this p-shaped profile is actually not p-shaped profile even though it does have a similarity to the letter P but it's not a proper p-shaped profile uh the other one also looks like a letter P but this one is a proper p-shaped profile um the reason the first one is not a proper P shap profile is uh if you look at the price how the price closed it closed below 50% Mark 50% of the daily range right so if this is the daily range then the close of the day is below 50% if the day closes like that then this is not a proper p-shaped profile because p-shaped profile is buyers right but this is not buyers when day closes like that it's not buyers so when you see this you don't trade it as a p-shaped profile on the other hand this one is a proper b-shaped profile because if I draw the 50% Mark here the price closes the day closes above that 50% Mark right so that's buyers so keep this in mind not every that looks like a p profile actually is a psh profile all right let's now go for the b-shaped profile this one is easy because it is the same thing as the p-shaped profile only it is reversed so let's take a closer look at it the b-shaped profile corresponds with the letter B like this and it has heavy volume Zone at the bottom and low volume Zone at the top it can form two ways either rejection of higher prices like here or in a downtrend where the volumes are shifting lower and lower and then it forms the b shape profile so this is how it can form um there are two important places in the b-shaped profile the first one is the point of control that's the place where the heaviest volumes were traded so that's the point of control and the other important place in that b-shaped profile is the little volume bump in the low volume Zone in this case it would be this volume bump in the second example it would be this volume bump right those are also important even though the volumes are not that heavy they are important because they signify aggre iive and strong sellers right in the first example here those volumes actually show us a place where sellers stepped in and reversed the price from uptrend to this strong sell so that's why this volume bump is important in this case this volume bump is showing us a place from which the strong sell started so again aggressive bus right so that's why those small volume bumps are also important now what the b-shaped profile is telling us about the market again two things either downtrend or end of an uptrend so when the price is uh dropping downwards then what you'll very often see are b-shape profiles right volumes are shifting lower and lower that's downtrend now you can also mean an end to an uptrend so in this second example there's an uptrend but suddenly after that uptrend there's a b-shaped profile when you see this when you see a b-shaped profile after an uptrend then you need to be prepared the uptrend either pause for a bit or that there'll be a change of a trend in this case there was a sudden change of a trend right because b-shaped profile means sellers right in any case when you see a b-shaped profile it is sellers right that's important now how do we trade the b-shaped profile now as I was saying the important places in a b-shaped profile is let me joy the profile here the little volume bump in the low volume Zone and also the point of control so if I extend the point of control to the next day then this would be the place to go short from right because there was the point of control price made a little pullback and you go short from there from the point of control then there's also this little volume bump here and this also represents a strong resistance and another short when the price makes pull back to it right short from here now as you can see I drawn the level from the beginning of that heavy volume Zone that's what I like to do I currently like to trade from the beginning of the heavy volume zones I'm having better results trading like that earlier I was trading exactly from the place where the volumes were the heaviest but I missed some trades like this one I would miss this one but right now I trade from the beginning of the heavy volume Zone and I miss way less trades this way so that's how I currently trade um yeah there is one important thing about the B profile um if you look at those two pictures both car respond with the letter B right but the first one is not a b-shaped profile not a proper b-shaped profile the second one is uh the reason is again if I draw a 50% Mark here daily range right 50% of the daily range then if the price is closing above that 50% Mark then this is not actually a proper b-shaped profile a proper b-shaped profile closes below the 50% Mark only then it signifies Sellers and we can trade it as a proper b-shaped profile all right now let's talk about the last main shape of volume profile and it is the thin profile looks like this it is thin and the reason it is thin is that it forms when there is a strong Trend very strong Trend usually no pullbacks or very little pullbacks and very often those strong Trends are initiated by macro news and there's no Central heavy volume Zone here the reason is that when there is a strong Trend like this there's simply no time for the big guys for the big trading institutions to place their huge orders there right they need rotation not a strong Trend like this so that's why when the price shoots in One Direction like this there are not really any major heavy volume zones there right there are only those smaller volume bumps now the thin profile can either show us very very aggressive buyers or very very aggressive sellers right and what is telling us about the market is simply that one side of the market either buyers or sellers are absolutely dominating that market right so in here buyers are dominating in here sellers are dominating now the most important places in a thin profile are the volume bumps if you look at this thin profile then the volume bumps within that thin profile are those and those are the most important places here uh the reason is that they are showing us places where strong buyers who are pushing the price orts we adding aggressively to the long positions right so that's why those work as strong supports so if you look at this one then there's a little pullback to it and a reaction right the way to trade the second one would be going long from here the way to trade the third one would be going [Music] long from here right the price likes to react to those heavy volume bumps because those are aggressive buyers who are helping to push the price upwards right so that's how you trade the thin profile now actually my favorite trading setup is based on trading the thin profile um my favorite setup is actually a combo of two trading setups One is using the thin profile and the other setup is a price action setup let me show you here it's very simple but uh very effective and you can find it actually pretty often so let's first check out this thin profile here the price was in a strong downtrend and this thin profile form here I would say that the most important volume clusters here here over this one and this one this one was the heaviest volume cluster but for me it was not as important as this one uh let me show you why if you look here the price was reacting to this level in the past and also it was reacting here for the second time in here so that means that this level in the past was a support and when the price BW to pass the support it turned the support into a resistance right that's the price action setup and if you look here at the same place there's also that volume cluster so those are the two setups that complement each other very nicely and both are pointing me to this resistance from which I trade my sh all right so what you want to see is this thin profile with significant volume cluster and at the same time something like this the price reacting to that level and then you just trade that level from the other side like this okay support turning into resistance combined with a heavy volume cluster very very good setup give it a try I'm pretty sure that you like the results and by the way if you guys are interested in learning exactly how I trade in learning my strategy from A to Z then you might want to consider joining us and becoming a member let me show you what you get if you become a member all right just real quick if you become a member and get our volume profile pack then you'll get a volume profile course which is a 15-hour long video course

in no time so you can focus on trading instead of setting everything up all right so that's the volume profile P you can get that on my website and let us move on a bit and let's do a little recap of what I just showed you about the four basic volume profile shapes so we have d-shaped profile which stands for balanced Market looks like letter D then we have a b-shaped profile which signifies strong sellers are present in the market then we have a p-shaped profile which indicates buyers are present and then we have a thin profile which indicates very very strong Trend now let's do a one more little quiz so we can see whether you can apply the things which you've learned today all right so let's start with this one take a look at the shape of the volume profile here this volume profile and tell me where the price is going to go the next day up or down this one is pretty easy right this one was a b-shaped profile and now you know that b-shaped profile stands for Sellers and that the price should go downwards important areas to trade in the b-shaped profile would be the point of control so this would be the first resistance Zone then there are also those two little volume bumps so this one would be another resistance Zone and this one would be another resistance Zone all right now let's go for the next question take a look here and tell me what do you do next what's your plan for the next day so this was a d-shaped profile with important zones important volume clusters in here and in here so when you see a d profile you should anticipate that the market will be rotating and reacting to those volume clusters here right so those two represent strong levels to trade from this one is a resistance that means short from here and this one is a support and that means long from there all right now let's go for the next one take a look here right here you can see a pretty massive self right but you want to look at what happened before that right I want you to tell me what you should expect after this strong sell up here should the price go up or down let me show you in here that was the thin profile right and within the thin profile there was this significant volume cluster right here as you now know this represents a strong support because when the price was going higher and higher this was the place where buyers were active adding to the long position positions right so this is a support so even though the price is dropping very very aggressively buyers should step in and push the price upwards from there again right like this so this would actually be a pretty good long trade but only if this wasn't caused by strong macro news if there if there's a strong macr news you don't want to trade against that right but if this wasn't a macro news Spike then it would be okay to enter a long because of this because of the thin profile and the significant volume cluster within the thin profile all right now here's the last one there was an uptrend but now the price is dropping so it looks like the uptrend is over and my question here is what you should do next what should be the plan for for the next day what do you do up or down well since we have a p-shaped profile here with a massive point of control right here it shows a significant support so even though the price is dropping there's a solid chance that the price will reverse because of this strong vshape profile and because of the point of control here right as you can see the price reacted very nicely to it and looks like it continued with that uh in that uptrend now let me guys give you a couple of uh useful points before we wrap the video up the first point is about the charting platform which I use it is the Ninja Trader 8 platform here is the link it is a free platform they also have a paid version of the platform but you don't need that all the features that you are going to need are in the free platform I do use the free platform so it's fine to use it don't need to pay anything here you can connect it to free fxm data this is a very good data especially if you trade Forex so connect it to fxm data and as I was saying I use it only for analysis or for charting right I trade with a broker which is called IC markets so I don't place the orders in ninja Trader but I place it with my broker IC Market is a very good broker I've been trading with them for like 10 years they are reliable they have very tight spreads fast execution they have low commissions and all that helps with intraday trading because when you are doing Inay trades you need to be fast and you need uh the trading to be cheap which means tight spreads and low commissions IC markets have it so they are very good for intraday trading also they are very good for swing trading they have many trading instruments available so everybody can find what they need now I think that at this point we've covered everything that we needed to cover so I hope you guys like the video I hope you found it useful if you have any questions then here's my email address shoot me a message and I'll be happy to help right so I'm looking forward to seeing you next time hopefully in the members area and until then Happy Trading
