Volume Profile Strategy — How Institutions Actually Trade
Volume Profile reveals where institutions have their positions. Point of Control (POC) is the most traded price level — acts as a magnet for price. Value Area (70% of volume) defines fair value. Strategy: when price breaks above Value Area High (VAH) with volume, go long targeting next POC above. When price breaks below Value Area Low (VAL), go short. Price tends to return to POC, so fade moves away from it.
