Market Profile: Understand Time and Price Acceptance

Market Profile organizes market activity by price and time, commonly using time-based brackets to show where the market spent time.

It can help traders study balance, range extension, and areas of acceptance or rejection.

Volume Profile, by comparison, organizes traded volume by price.

The two approaches provide different views of market activity.

I use profile concepts to build context around the session and then observe how current price behaves near important areas.

Neither profile method predicts the future on its own.
