**Dynamic Volume Profile Profiting** **動態成交量分布盈利** Dynamic volume profile involves creating multiple volume profiles not based on time, but rather according to market participants. This is one of the most straightforward and effective methods for applying volume profile, put out higher success rate.
In golfing, a successful golfer swings consistently and knows exact which club to apply. Does this sound familiar in trading? Yes, but if every single hole is 100 yards, would an average person be better at scoring? Yes, you would only need 2 clubs.
In the early 1980s, Peter Steidlmayer introduced Market Profile for CBOE. Rather than focusing on visual elements like blocks or alphabets, Steidlmayer identified two primary groups of market participants:
Market Profile is not a trading system; it's a data distribution curve. Crucially, it highlights areas where the underlying asset is either overvalued or undervalued.
Market Profile and Volume Profile(later), introduced 40 years ago, serve the same purpose: identifying market participants and determining fair market value.
- STF traders tend to gravitate towards fair value, creating a balanced market. 交易者傾向於公允價值,從而創造一個平衡的市場。
- LTF participants are the true drivers of market movements. They can enter the market at any time, which necessitates the use of Dynamic Volume Profile. 參與者是市場走勢的真正推動者。他們可以隨時進入市場,這就需要使用動態成交量分布 Dynamic Volume Profile。
With these two groups in play, the market oscillates between balance and imbalance, but not on a regular schedule, as only LTF traders truly know.
The traditional settings for Market Profile or Volume Profile (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly) were established 40 years ago due to limited computing resources and technical constraints. This led to single profiles showing multiple overlapping and disorganized structures, making it time-consuming for the average trader to master. Dynamic volume profile separates each micro-structure (balance) into its own profile. This visually distinguishes each balance from imbalance, which is the primary purpose of Market Profile or Volume Profile. Once these structures are clearly defined, value is revealed, simplifying trading.
- Balance: Multiple structure profiles overlapping horizontally, creating a choppy zone unfavorable for day trading.
- 平衡:多個結構分布圖水平重疊,形成不利於日間交易的波動區域。
P-shape and b-shape distribution curve characteristics
P-shape profile means that the market rally and spends time higher of the distribution and creating a profile that looks like a letter P.
b-shape profile means that the market drops and spends the rest of its distributing, creating a profile that looks like letter b.
P 型和 b 型分布曲線特徵
P 形圖意味著市場反彈並長時間較高區的分布並創建看起來像字母 P 的輪廓。
b 形圖意味著市場下降並耗長期在較低處分布,形成一個看起來像字母 b 的輪廓。
- Imbalance: - 不平衡
- **Long Trade:** Each structure profile forms a higher high. Place a trade targeting the previous profile's Value Area High (VAH). Consider anticipating a breakout with added strength. Set a stop below the previous profile's low.
- **Short Trade:** Each structure profile forms a lower low. Place a trade targeting the previous profile's Value Area Low (VAL). You might hold it for a breakdown with added caution. Set a stop above the previous profile's high.
This is a very famous systematic strategy by Jim Dalton: there is an 80% chance to rotate to the other side of the value area.

Market Profile/Volume Profile prerequisite knowledge if setting on preset time (skip if use with Dynamic Volume Profile):
-Excess is buying/selling tail
Excess is seen at the tops and bottoms of the profile, and it indicates the end of the auction and the start of a new one.
-Poor high/low are often revisited
Poor high and poor low can be considered as a lack of excess.
We can see these when the market has low confidence in the current direction.
Showing no tails and conviction of traders stepping in.
-Failed auction
The failed auction occurs when the Initial Balance low or high is taken out, but the market fails to sustain the breakout.
-Single prints are the same as excess but happen inside the profile.
They are represented with single TPOs printed on the Market profile.
They leave low volume nodes with liquidity gaps, so they tell us that market moved too fast through the area.
These inefficient moves tend to get filled, and we can seek trading opportunities once they get filled, or we can also enter before they get filled and use these single prints as targets.

**Mysteries:**
**謎團:**
- **POC Trade:** Trading based on the Point of Control (POC) during the day is often incomplete, only evident in hindsight. In a balanced market, the POC doesn't change much, potentially resulting in getting chopped out of trades in the POC zone. In an imbalanced market, your trade might start in the POC zone, but as value shifts, your trade may no longer align with the POC. The market is dynamic, and traders must adapt to new information to thrive.
- **Value Area High/Low Trade:** Steidlmayer explained that balance and imbalance occur intermittently, not necessarily every day at specific times like 10:01 AM or 12:00 PM. This unpredictability is due to the Long Time Frame participants. While it might seem like a good deal to enter a trade at Value Area Low (VAL) in hindsight, a balanced market throughout the day is not guaranteed. Only experts like Jim Dalton or experienced Market Profile and Volume Profile practitioners may possess the expertise to navigate such conditions. For the average trader, simplicity often proves most effective. A good deal at VAL may not necessarily be a great deal if the LTF participants are no longer driving the market and are willing to accept a lower fair value.
- Initial balance: Initially, it was defined as the first hour (back when there was limited internet access for most people), then later considered the first 30 minutes. Some YouTubers recently apply the first 15 minutes, which is not a static rule. It's important to remember that Long Time Frame (LTF) may not initiate any action during such times, then become much less influential. Dynamic Volume Profile detects market momentum and displays a new structural profile regardless of the time of day or night.
To enhance trading success, let the market reveal its balance or imbalance, and align with the prevailing trend. Swiftly identify trends through visualization, as with Dow Theory (price), Entanglement Theory (price), and Wyckoff (volume+price). Dynamic Volume Profile, incorporating both price and volume, is designed for simplicity and ease of trading.
