Volume Profile
Reading Where the Market Actually Traded — and When That Map Lies
Most charts show you when trading happened. Volume Profile shows you where.
By stacking volume at each price instead of each moment in time, Volume Profile reveals the levels where the market did its real business. Those levels often matter later, and this book teaches you how to find and read them.
It is equally direct about the map's limits. You'll learn to check a Volume Profile level against separate tools, such as Anchored VWAP and prior-day levels, and to spot when your “confirmation” is really one idea showing up in several disguises.
The book closes with position sizing that keeps any single loss survivable, and a written plan that turns everything in it into repeatable behavior.
