What is Session-Based Market Profile?
Session Based Market Profile is a powerful analytical tool that organizes price and time information to reveal market structure, value areas, and trader behavior by understanding session specific activity. Unlike traditional indicators, it shows where and for how long the market traded at specific price levels, helping you identify:
- High-volume nodes (Point of Control)
- Value areas where 70% of trading occurred
- Single prints (potential support/resistance)
- Initial Balance ranges
- Session-based market activity
- Optional Tick Volume Profile
