We start this tutorial off by talking about what the market profile is and is not. It should be made clear that using TPO charts and volume profile is not a strategy all by its self. Market profile is just a tool that will help us organize the trading data in a useful manner.
TPO stands for time price opportunity and are printed as letters for each 30 minute period. A period lasts from 9:30am to 10am, B period lasts from 10am to 10:30am etc. The volume profile will give us an idea of how many shares or contracts traded hands at any given price level. When compared to a candle stick chart you can see how the volume profile really starts to shine and shed more light on the price action.
The first major reason to be using market profile is to find where value is. If you can find where value is you can find where opportunity is when price disconnects from value. Take the example of an iPhone you see advertised at the same price for weeks on end. All of the sudden price changes and you start to think of how you could take advantage of that miss-priced asset.
The concept of value centers around the normal distribution and one standard deviation. This is going to encompass about 70% of the days trading volume or TPO prints. We can now start to look into where the bell curve is forming. Do we have a normal day? A trend day? An emotion day?
Finally we talk about the anatomy of what makes up the profile. We have the point of control or POC (TPO and volume), value area (TPO and volume), halfback, opening range or OR (sometimes IB if referring to initial balance), and high / low volume nodes.
POC - should be treated as a target and not a place to initiate new trades
VAH / VAL - should be treated as resistance and support. Are we in balance? Fade the areas. Are we trending? Take the breaks.
Halfback - should be used as a target when looking at large gaps or how much of an initiative move is retraced.
Opening Range - Can be used to determine if the day will be contained or breakout.
HVN / LVN - Areas that the market likes to go to and from.
We then get into structural things like poor high and low, weak high and low (sometimes better known as mechanical levels), single prints and double distributions, one time framing as well as spikes and volume taper.
To tie it all together we give you the second reason you should be using market profile. To understand what type of participant is in the market. Is it the pit traders looking to make a few ticks? Or is it the OTF trader looking to set themselves up for Q3? This will tell you what you need to know about trusting mechanical levels.
The broker we use at the end to showcase market profile charts in real time is Tradovate. We are not affiliated however believe their product is getting many more people involved in TPO charts who otherwise would not pay for something like WindoTrader, Ninja Trader, or Sierra Charts.

Mat, Can we set up market profile in TOS use monkey bar? Can you make tutorial on this?
@@trunghuynh5162 Not entirely sure. Have never explored monkey bars too in depth.
Is the market profile available on TOS? I found the volume profile. It does not have the A, B, C's ....
@@bbwphantom It is! ITs just called monkey bars and used 0-9 instead of A-Z. Check out this video here: ruclips.net/video/ab_oNfQsONE/видео.html
@@TradeBrigade thank you Sir.
My husband traded in the same pit as Peter Steidlmayer at the CBOT in the early 1980's. Peter convinced the CBOT directors to bankroll the development of price data distributed in some Market Profile. He watched YOUR video along with me. He brought up names from the past who were instrumental in the early development of Market Profile. He remembered some CBOT directors who later said Peter wasted the CBOT's money in the profile development. But he said YOUR video is one of the best he's seen on RUclips channel. Continue with your videos. You can continue with Perter's pioneering work in helping others learn about the markets.
WOW!! Thats an incredible story to hear. Much appreciation to all of the pit traders who really paved the way for modern trading to develop. Those guys were the real deal, quite literally fighting for positions and getting it done. I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to leave such a comment and that he's got high thoughts of the video. Wishing you the best Sara!
This is insane! Been watching trading videos from many different people for one year now, and NONE of them as clear as your videos! I get the feeing many RUclipsrs always keep lots of info to themselves to encourage people to sign up for their courses, but you offer the information freely and in a very easily digestible way. Clearly you have some teaching background. Thank you kindly for your videos. Much appreciated.
I appreciate that Alex! Hope you have a great journey learning the market profile and it leads to improved decision making processes.
This isn't good. It's not even great. It's superb. The narrator enunciates, moves quickly, and covers every concept of any importance in MP. I knew it, but he highlighted and reinforced everything. I'll be watching this over and over and over, because I must have watch 100 trying to find this. OUTSTANDING! Thrilled to find this. Now, to investigate their other stuff.
So glad you enjoyed the presentation Gary. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to drop a comment.
Best video on profiles, even the experts have a hard time making it this easy to digest.
Appreciate that Corteman! Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to drop a comment.

My day trading is changed forever. I was able to get rid of so many indicators by implementing market profile on my canvas. I'm getting better entries and exits. This is the way!
After this film, I am convinced of the MP and trade with its help. This is the first video on YT where it is clearly and clearly explained Good job.
Thanks sebastian!
This video is the best for explaining Market profile wasted a couple of hours watching useless videos of others that don't even explain it properly

Literally one of the best market profile videos that is so concise and well taught. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure. Thank you for tuning in and taking the time to drop a comment.
I’ve been watching your morning breakdowns and after seeing this video now know how you’re getting the VAH/VAL. You’ve helped me a ton as a new trader. See you in the penthouse 🤘🏻
Most professional video about this topic I have ever seen. Congraz for the quality.
Wow! First time I think I have come to truly understand. Much appreciated.
I am still trying to digest it … while working .. NYC life .. thanks . I need to rewatch it at home.
Give it a watch multiple times. Take notes and most importantly go observe the market profile in action. Nothing beats getting screen time when it comes to trading.
1 time watch completed with 5% understanding…. 19 times more times to watch to understand it thoroughly.
Thanks for the video Matt.
Thanks for tuning in and dropping a comment! Appreciate it!
Great video and very helpful! Just recently started learning about volume profile, determining order flow with bid&ask charts, and now TPO charts. It's almost like trading with only indicators and price action was the the equivalent of being in a dark and cluttered room, but now the light has been turned on! I was blind, but now I see!!!!
Let there be light!!
Can't tell you how much I appreciate you as a creator. You have a talent for distilling information and making it easily digested. Thank you
Appreciate the sentiment MZ! Hope all is going well in your trading career, and youre green on this week, month, year... the whole 9! Cheers

More of a gift, than a crime…

Been hoping you would release something like this because I am never able to understand that part of the video. I have some free time soon and this is first on my list of things I need to learn. Thank you so much for your time and dedication to this channel/community Matt!
You bet. Its a lot to take in one sitting so definitely split it up if you have to. Take notes and revisit! As always with trading and the markets nothing will replace hundreds of hours of screen time. Best of luck in the MP journey!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm finally getting a good foundational start to reading a TPO chart!
Cheers! Mind over markets is a great recommendation if you want to take it to the next level.
Overview was great was very informative filled alot of blanks in K.. would be interesting seeing you actually using it to trade with when brokers wipping price point spread back and forth .. ? Or is this more for longer decisonal moves ?
Thank you so much for this valuable content!
You bet Chris!
Understood very clearly .
Wonderful job, this opens my eyes to looking at intraday and swing trades with another perspective. 🙏 thank you 🙏
Happy to help! Glad it was useful
This is the best training video I’ve ever seen on trading in 20 years. Brilliant. Do you have a training course for market and volume profile?
This is the training for profile that we have. For candle and related analysis: tradebrigade.co/learn
Excellent video. Never knew about Market Profile approach to finding trading opportunities. Seems very intuitive. Thanks for putting out great training content.
You got it Jonathan! Thanks for tuning in.
@@TradeBrigade Watched this video one year later and now it makes a lot of sense after watching it during your daily live show and weekly updates. Thanks.
A great video
Dense with information. I will look to integrate this into my trading.
Glad it was useful William! Wishing you the best in your market profile journey
Superb--clear concise brilliant teacher!
Appreciate that TopGun! Hope your profile journey is off to a great start.
Thank you so much. Been reading Mr Dalton’s book “Mind Over Markets”. You have a great talent for teaching in a calm, to the point and clear way.
Learning market profile is really giving me a better understanding about what the market is doing and where it’s probably going.
You're very welcome! I stand on the shoulders of giants like Dalton. Wishing you nothing but success in the profile journey.
Matt, I just want to thank you for yet another gem 💯👊🏾
My pleasure Ashton, wishing you nothing but success in your market profile journey.
I'll throw you another one from a traditionalist; The Opening Range and Initial Balance are two separate things. The OR is the first few minutes of trade (3 minutes), and the IB is the first hour. The two are used for very different things/reasons. The OR is an area of change, similar to a prior session pullback low or rally high. If the market drives and extends the range up in a session but later trades through the opening range and finds acceptance within and/or below it then something has changed.
Interesting! Thanks for the input Kunou. always willing to learn from others who have more experience with the profile than myself. I generally am just looking at value and structure, not so much the nuances of being a purist. Appreciate the comment, and hoping the recent market conditions have been treating you well!
The initial balance periodfor stock index futures is until 12 noon cst.
Great information
Thanks for investing your time to make this super valuable education video! I kept laughing at the "not to insult anyone's intelligence". Great stuff
You would be surprised at the math some folks perform in their heads... (Cant say I'm perfect either)
goodly presentation with brew of depth in info. much appreciated.
My pleasure. Glad it was insightful, and wishing you nothing but the best on the market profile journey.
Great video! Very clearly explained!
Glad it was helpful!
I've learned so much from you, which dramatically improve my trading results too. Thank You, you are the the best.
Love to hear it Renatto! Thanks for tuning in and leaving this feedback. I greatly appreciate it.
Fantastic tutorial man!! Thanks a lot! I always enjoy when you use market profile in your analysis videos. I have followed Peter’s shadow trader videos for some time now as well. Now with this tutorial i understand so much more of what is going on than I did before. Thank you!!
Peter is great! So glad this helped put the pieces of the puzzle together. Stay green!
Two years later, do you still use it?
Excellent video. Very good, clear and concise explanation of market profile workings. Peter R. also does a good job at explaining this, but sometimes it helps to have a different take on things. So glad I found this channel.
Cheers to that Keith! Peter wether he knows it or not is one of my biggest mentors in trading. Will always credit that gent when I can. Hope you have a great trading week!
