    Market Profile Journal

    I didn't execute a virtual trade, I feel asleep. Looking back both the POC and High Value Area cam into play, and we did get a tick extreme on a touch of the High Value Area, however, that was not an entry. Since I was bullish on the day and all market internals were bullish, that cancels out...

    can market profile be self-taught?

    Hanzahar, sounds to me like you should read the original publication that you can download for free from the CBOT. I downloaded it about two months ago, and am only on page sixty. But I have learned so much about how the market works. I don't know why, it just made things in me tick. I know...

    What the heck is going on with Proshares ETFs

    I wonder if the paid data feeds like esignal are more reliable. TOS is great, but it does tweek out here and there.

    Support or Head and Shoulders

    Funny enought, that exactly what it looks like on the daily. A head and shoulders, witha kiss of death. The day it came back to kiss was also an extremely light volume day. But I don't know if that's worth much of anything, that's more related to the market having no volume the past couple of...

    Support or Head and Shoulders

    Hey, Swiss, I'm going to take a look here but on another point, if you do see something setting up, it's safe to wait for confirmation. If it's a head and shoulders let price break the neckline, on high volume, and either enter on the break down, or wait for it to come back and test the neck...

    Drawing better resistance lines

    This video just really made a big impact on me. You ever experience that? Something small you see, and then you say, wow that just made me a better trader. I don't know if it'll be that important to you but drawing better trend/support/resistance lines is one area I still need a lot of...

    Where's a good place to start

    I don't know why you couldn't start out with a teeny tiny account. Trade very small amounts of shares and try to not lose money while gaining real experience. Tradeking.com is one broker that has no minimum and quite low commissions. I don't however think trading should be a rush...

    I'll record the results of my market profile trades here, starting once the market open again, I should probably know when that is, but I imagine Friday. Here's a quick video of the plan I'll be using: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPYhcE801Pw

    Market profile + TICK extremes

    The best way I've found to use the TICk is as a genarl gauge of the market, are there more ticks over 0 (bullish) or under 0 (bearish), and of course, the extreme readings when they conencide with important areas.

    Market profile + TICK extremes

    I'm making this one of the main aspects of my trading plan, I have found them to be very reliable and would appreciate any feed back. Basically I look for Tick extremes that match price hitting a high or low value area. Here's a video example from Tuesday...

    Volatility Down

    The VIX has been dropping steadily. Yesterday market was up less a percent but the VIX dropped almost two! I guess after the New Year is when we'll see what's really happening.
