Volume Profile — Strategy Guide

Understanding Volume Profile

Volume Profile shows volume traded at each price level rather than over time. This reveals where institutional participation is concentrated and identifies the most important support and resistance levels — ones based on actual trading activity, not lines on a chart.

Key Concepts

Point of Control (POC) — The price level with the highest traded volume. Acts as a magnet — price tends to gravitate toward the POC.
Value Area (VA) — The range containing 70% of traded volume. VA High (VAH) and VA Low (VAL) are key S/R levels.
Profile Shapes — P-shape = buying (POC near top), b-shape = selling (POC near bottom), D-shape = balanced (POC near center).

Trading Strategy

Trade from value area edges toward the POC for mean reversion. When price opens inside the value area, expect rotation between VAH and VAL (the "80% Rule" — 80% of the time, price that enters the VA will travel to the other side). When price opens outside the VA, expect either a strong trend day or a return to value.

Pro Tip
The developing value area (today's profile as it builds) is just as important as yesterday's completed profile. Watch where today's POC is forming relative to yesterday's POC to identify value migration.
