Market Profile-By Atropine

What is Market profile ?

Market profile is a style of plotting "Price" on the Y-axis and "Time" on the X-axis, which most of the time form a bell-shaped image as the body of the profile.
It helps day traders identify Other Timeframe Participants (Big players) who have money and information power. short-term traders have to follow these big sharks which give direction to markets.
It provides an X-ray vision about the market as Value Area represents 70% of the day’s activity and this will give a clear picture of the current state of the market as it unfolds.
It works in all market conditions. Usually, a trading system or indicator works in certain market conditions like a trending or sideways market. There is no such restriction to Market Profile as it clearly shows the balanced and imbalanced market conditions in both directions all the time.
